CASIO CT-S1 Implementation Piano

Overview

Product Configuration as a MIDI Device

As a MIDI device, this Instrument consists of the System Section, Sound Generator Section, and Performance Controller Section described below. Each of these sections can send and receive specific MIDI Messages in accordance with its function.

System Section
The System Section manages the Instrument status and user data.
Performance Controller Section
The Performance Controller Section performs keyboard play and controller operations, and generates performance messages. Basically, generated performance messages are sent to external destinations while also being transmitted to the Sound Generator Section. The channel number of the sent channel message is in accordance with the Instrument’s MIDI setting. For details about the MIDI setting, see the Instrument’s User’s Guide.
Sound Generator Section
The Sound Generator Section mainly performs receive of performance information and sound source
setting information. It consists of a common part that does not depend on the channel and a musical instrument part that is independent of each channel.
Sound Generator Common Block
The common block consists of system effects, master control, etc. These can be controlled effect function, general universal system exclusive messages, or the Instrument’s system exclusive messages or all. There are two types of system effects on this instrument: system effects applied to keyboard playing parts and system effects applied to other parts.
Instrument Part Block
The instrument part section is devided into A, B, C group for every 16 parts, and it consists of a total of 48 parts. The settings of each part can be changed using channel messages or Instrument’s system exclusive messages or all. Of these, only the C group channels can be controlled by external channel messages.
The functions assigned to each part are shown below.

Timbre Type Specific Operation

The sound source operation performed for a sound generator instrument receive message may depend on the value of the Timbre Type (see “About the Timbre Type” in “8 Program Change”) of each part’s operation mode. For details, see the explanation for each message.

Controlling Send/Receive of MIDI Messages in Each Instrument Part

Send and receive of MIDI messages for each instrument part can be controlled by global Instrument MIDI settings and Instrument-specific system exclusive messages. See the Instrument’s User’s Guide for details.
Conditions that Disable Message Send and Receive

No MIDI messages at all can be sent or received while the instrument starts up, shuts down, accesses flash memory, etc.

Transmit Sent when a tone number is selected. Sent when the Program number send function is used.

Receive Receipt changes the tone of the corresponding part. The selected tone is determined by the program value of this message and the Bank Select message value received prior to this message. Also note that receipt of this message also may change the Timbre Type that corresponds to the selected tone. For more information, see “About the Timbre Type” below.

About the Timbre Type Tones that are selected by each Instrument part have an attribute that depends on the sound source operation type. This attribute is called the “timbre type,” which is one of the types described below.

  • Melody
    This timbre type optimizes for normal melody tones. The damper pedal performs on/off operations.
  • Piano
    This Timbre Type is for piano tones. The decay rate of the voice being sounded is seamlessly altered in accordance with the damper pedal position. The method for producing sound in response to the note messages also is different from that of the melody Timbre Type, and operation is optimized for piano.
  • LMPiano
    This Timbre Type is for Linear Morphing piano tones. The decay rate of the voice being sounded and Damper Resonance effect characteristics are seamlessly altered in accordance with the damper pedal position. The method for producing sound in response to the note messages also is different from that of the melody Timbre Type, and operation is optimized for piano.
