9. What if you want to use Concert Magic to play a song that isn t one of the 176 built in titles One of the fun things about the Concert Performer is that you can actually take your favorite song and tum it into a CM file Record your song as a Standard MIDI File on a floppy disk Then use your personal computer to change the name of the file so that instead of MID as the extension it now reads CMG This needs to be done so that Concert Magic will know to look at the file when it is searching the floppy disk The file can now be selected when you are in Concert Magic e e M 94 Kawai Concert Performer Series Digital Piano As you might imagine getting your song to act exactly the way you want it to in Concert Magic may require a few adjustments to the original arrangement The most important consideration when creating a song to be used with Concert Magic is keeping the arrangement as simple as musically possible This is because Concert Magic pauses the song after every note that is played as it waits for you to tap the next key so if there are complex patterns that have many notes per beat such as a rhythm part having to tap a key for every little note to be played can make the performance overly difficult Here are some suggestions for creating a Concert Magic song 1 Make the melody first 2 Then arrange the accompaniment part so that its notes fall on the same beats as the melody This makes a Melody Pla
