The easiest is to find a way to "mute" channel 10, as this is usually the drum set channel. There are several ways to filter out the drum notes, if this is the case. The result is, you hear the representative notes on the piano sound that would normally play individual drum sounds. since midi is based on note numbers, regardless of whether you are playing a melodic instrument or a set of drum sounds, each drum will have a note assignment. If your keys don't have drum sounds, or doesn't support multi-channel midi info, it will attempt to play the drums on the instrument sound available. Each channel assignment will be assigned to an instrument type. If you have USB ports, there are also USB midi interfaces.Ī note about playing pre-recorded midi information using your piano as a sound source:ĭoes your piano only have 7 or 8 sounds? Does it have the ability to play drum sounds? Is it multichannel or single channel?Ī general midi based sequence will assign certain information to separate channels. What you need is an interface which converts that joystick port to a standard 5 pin midi in/out. If your PC has a joystick port, it has a midi port.
It's still your digital piano generating the sound, so the midi will not sound the way it does being played through your soundcard's crappy GM section, it will sound like your piano.Īlso, if I can do that, what type of hardware do I need? Are there midi file players I can hook up between my pc and piano? I dont see a midi out port on the back of my pc. Think of it as a stream of data that tells your piano which notes to play, how hard to hit them, and how long to hold them, when to press the sustain pedal, etc. Would it play the songs through one of the piano settings and sound good, or would it sound electronic and kinda cheesy like when I play midis on my pc?
In order to do this, you would need a synth like the Triton, or something else that can load general midi files and store a cue list. I am curious though if there is a way a could load a list of midis to the piano and have it play background music at a party or for personal listening.
