The MIDI [THRU] connector outputs all MIDI data received at the MIDI [IN] connector, regardless of whether or not it is also used
within the stage piano. When playing your CP5 or CP50 from another MIDI device, therefore, the performance data can also be
output via this MIDI [THRU] connector to play additional instruments.

Using the Stage Piano with a Computer

Your CP5 or CP50 can also be connected to a computer in order to exchange MIDI data with it. For example, a
sequencer running on a computer could be used to play the stage piano, or you could send MIDI data created by
playing the stage piano's keyboard to the computer for further processing.

Connecting via USB

The following procedure describes how to connect the [USB TO HOST] port on the rear of your CP5 or CP50 to a USB
port on your computer using a USB cable. When connected in this way, the stage piano and computer can exchange
MIDI messages (but not other types of data).
NOTE
In order to enjoy the sounds produced by your CP5 or CP50, you will need to connect it to a stereo system or to an amplifier and speakers.
Alternatively, a pair of headphones can always be connected for direct monitoring of the stage piano. For details, see Connecting Audio
Equipment from the Setting Up section (page 15).
