Connecting to a Musical Instrument

• Whenever connecting external equipment, first set the

VOLUME slider of the digital piano and the volume

controller of the external equipment to relatively low

volume settings. You can later adjust volume to the level

you want after connections are complete.

• Be sure also to refer to the documentation that comes with

the external equipment for its proper connection

procedures.

Amplifier 3

Use commercially available cables to connect the amplifier

to the digital piano's LINE OUT jacks as shown in Figure 3.

R jack output is right channel sound, while L/MONO jack

output is left channel sound. Connecting to the L/MONO

jack only outputs a mixture of both channels. It is up to you

to purchase connecting cable like the one shown in the

illustration for connection of the amplifier. Use the digital

piano's VOLUME slider to adjust the volume level.

Connecting Headphones 1

Connect commercially available headphones to the digital

piano’s headphones jack. This cuts off the built-in speakers,

which means you can practice even late at night without

disturbing others. To protect your hearing, make sure that

you do not set the volume level too high when using

headphones.

Accessories and Options

Use only the accessories and options specified for this digital

piano. Use of non-authorized items creates the danger of fire,

electric shock, and personal injury.

Connecting to Audio Equipment 2

Use commercially available cables to connect the external

audio equipment to the digital piano's LINE OUT jacks as

shown in Figure 2. R jack output is right channel sound,

while L/MONO jack output is left channel sound. It is up to

you to purchase connecting cables like the ones shown in the

illustration for connection of audio equipment. Normally in

this configuration you must set the audio equipment's input

selector to the setting that specifies the terminal (such as AUX

IN) to which the digital piano is connected. Use the digital

piano's VOLUME slider to adjust the volume level.

More about tones

Using Digital Effects

This digital piano provides you with a selection of digital

effects that you can apply to tones. The following provides

general descriptions of each effect, but the best way to find

out how they affect tones is to experiment for yourself.

Polyphony

This digital piano can play up to 64 notes at the same time.

Note, however, that the tones listed below are capable of only

32-note polyphony. GRAND PIANO 1, BRIGHT PIANO,

HONKY-TONK, ELEC PIANO 1, HARPSICHORD, STRINGS

1, CHOIR, SYNTH-PAD, RIDE ACO BASS

Digital Effect Types

REVERB

Touch Response

The REVERB effect gives you a choice of the eight variations

listed below. Each one simulates the acoustics of different

environments.

The touch response feature causes changes in the volume and

the sound of the tone in accordance with how much pressure

you apply to the keyboard, just like an acoustic piano.

Touch response affects the HARPSICHORD tone only slightly,

because the original musical instrument normally produces

the same sound, no matter how much pressure is applied.

The following table shows the name of each effect and the

keyboard keys you press to select it.

Keyboard Key Number*

Digitally Sampled Tones

The tones of this digital piano are produced using digitally

recorded samples of actual musical instruments. Not all of

the instruments, however, can produce tones across the entire

range played by this digital piano (A0 through C8). In such a

case, digital recordings are used for the range that actually

can be produced by the original instrument, and synthesized

tones are used for notes that cannot be produced naturally.

Because of this, you may notice very slight differences

between natural notes and synthesized notes in sound quality

and in results produced when using effects. These differences

are normal and do not indicate malfunction.

Adjusting the Brilliance of a Tone

You can use the BRILLIANCE slider to adjust the clarity and

sharpness of a tone to suit your music and personal

preferences.

CHORUS

The CHORUS effect adds depth and vibrato to notes.

To apply pedal effects to a split tone

Using the Pedals

This digital piano comes equipped with the three pedals

shown in the illustration below.

1. While holding down the CONTROL button, turn

pedal effects on or off by pressing one of the

keyboard keys shown in the illustration below.

ꢁ

: ON

Soft pedal

Damper pedal

: OFF

Sostenuto pedal

A0 : Pedal effects off

ꢁ

B 0 : Pedal effects on

Pedal functions

• Damper pedal

Pressing this pedal causes notes to reverberate and to

sustain longer. In the case of the PIPE ORGAN and

STRINGS tones, pressing this pedal sustains the notes

played until you release the pedal.

• A note does not sound when you press a keyboard

key while the CONTROL button is depressed.

Using the Metronome

The metronome provides a reference beat that you can use

during your performances or practice sessions. You can

change the beat and the tempo of the metronome.

• Soft pedal

Pressing this pedal dampens notes and slightly reduces

their volume. Only notes played after the pedal is depressed

are affected, and any notes played before the pedal is

pressed sound at their normal volume.

• The illustration below shows the keyboard keys you use

when configuring metronome settings. The names of the

settings are also marked above the keyboard keys to which

they are assigned.

• Sostenuto pedal

Like the damper pedal, this pedal causes notes to

reverberate and to sustain longer. The difference between

the two pedals is the timing when they are pressed. With

the sostenuto pedal, you press the pedal after depressing

the notes you want to sustain. Only the notes whose

keyboard keys are depressed when the sostenuto pedal is

pressed are affected.

to select a beat setting.

• A note does not sound when you press a keyboard

key while holding down CONTROL.

• The first value of the beat can be set to a value of 2

through 6. The bell that normally indicates the first

beat of a measure does not sound while a value of 0 is

specified. All beats are indicated by a click sound. This

setting lets you practice with a steady beat, without

worrying about how many beats there are in each

measure.

3. Use one of the procedures below to set the tempo

to a value in the range of 30 to 255 beats per

minute.

• To scroll the tempo value: While holding down the

CONTROL button, use the TEMPO + (increase) and

– (decrease) keys to scroll the tempo value. Holding

down either key changes the setting at high speed.

Pressing + and – at the same time automatically selects

a tempo value of 120.

• To input the tempo value: While holding down the

CONTROL button, use the number input keys

input a two-digit or three-digit tempo value in the

range of 30 to 255. You can input a two digit or a three-

digit value. The value you input is applied to the

tempo when you release the CONTROL button. The

tempo setting does not change if you input a one-digit

value or a value that is outside of the allowable range.

4. When you want to stop the metronome, press

METRONOME again.

• Pressing METRONOME again restarts the metronome

sound using the current beat and tempo setting.

• If you want to change both the tempo and the beat

before restarting the metronome, perform the above

procedure here.

❚ NOTE

• You can change metronome beat and tempo settings at any

time, even while the metronome is sounding.

• You can also use the metronome in combination with song

memory play. See the section of this User’s Guide covering

the function for details.

Adjusting the Tuning of the Digital

Piano

You can adjust the overall tuning of the digital piano for play

along with another instrument. You can adjust tuning within

a range of 50 cents* from A4 = 440.0Hz.

Temperament

Modern pianos employ a tuning system called “Equal

Temperament,” which is also used by your digital piano.

Equal Temperament, however, is a relatively new tuning

system, and different temperaments were in use during the

times of Bach, Beethoven, and Chopin.

Your digital piano comes with the seven temperament settings

listed below, which adjust the tuning of the keyboard to suit

a variety of classical pieces.

Use the keyboard keys noted below to adjust the tuning of

the digital piano.

Setting keys

Use the keys shown below to change the temperament setting.

About Temperaments

Equal Temperament

This tuning system is the most widely used for keyboard

musical instruments in the world today. The octave is

divided into 12 semitones that are equal in frequency ratio.

With this system, you can perform in all the major and

minor keys without any adjustment. Though we take this

system for granted these days, it was a revolutionary

development in the history of music. Equal Temperament

tuning has been the most common system used in the

world since the middle of the 18th Century.

• The note for the keyboard key you press is applied as

the root. If you press key F⁵, for example, the root

becomes F.

ꢀ

Kirnberger III

This is also one of the precursors to equal temperament.

It is an evolution of just intonation and the mean-tone

system, and all keys (from C-major to F -major) can be

used for keyboard play.

• No sound is produced when the keys are pressed.

• When Baroque Pitch (page E-29) is ON, the root is a

half-note higher than the key you press. This means

that to set a root of C, you should press B⁴.

ꢀ

Werckmeister

Werckmeister is a famous theorist who also did research

on equal temperament. This particular system is said to

be a precursor to equal temperament, and all keys (from

4. Release the CONTROL button to exit

temperament setting.

ꢀ

C-major to F -major) can be used for keyboard play.

❚ NOTE

Mean-Tone System

• If you select the temperament only without specifying the root

in the above procedure, the root automatically becomes C.

• Temperament root settings are not affected when you change

the Transpose setting.

• The keys you should press to set the root in step 3 of the above

procedure are fixed. They are not affected by transpose settings,

etc.

This system was the first actually used for tuning of

keyboard musical instruments. It was widely used starting

from the Renaissance up until the second half of the 18th

Century. During the days of Handel and Bach, it was

employed for cembalos, organs, and pianos.

Pythagorean System

This system was developed by the philosopher

Pythagoras sometime during the 5th Century B.C. Most

of the fifths in this system do not deviate from the “pure”

(acoustically correct) intervals. The Pythagorean system

is perfect within a small range of tones and in the simple

keys, but it becomes inadequate in others. Despite this,

this system was used for Middle Age religious music,

which was performed (sung) using only the simple keys.

Just Intonation

This system is one of the “pure” systems in which many

of the fifths and thirds are acoustically correct. Try setting

the root to C and playing C, E, G.

MIDI

*1 Keyboard play and memory playback data can be sent as

MIDI data. Demo tunes cannot be sent as MIDI data.

*2 A device that contains memory storage for MIDI data.

Some MIDI sequencers feature external storage

capabilities, which let you record a virtually unlimited

number of tunes.

What is MIDI?

The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital

Interface, which is the name of a worldwide standard for

digital signals and connectors that makes it possible to

exchange musical data between musical instruments and

computers (machines) produced by different manufacturers.

MIDI compatible equipment can exchange keyboard key

press, key release, tone change, and other data as messages.

Though you do not need any special knowledge about MIDI

to use this digital piano as a stand-alone unit, MIDI operations

require a bit of specialized knowledge. This section provides

you with an overview of MIDI that will help to get you going.

MIDI Connections

Two MIDI cables, one for sending and one for receiving, are

required for two-way recording and playback capabilities

with a connected MIDI sequencer or other device.

What you can do with MIDI

MIDI Channels

MIDI allows you to send the data for multiple parts at the

same time, with each part being sent over a separate MIDI

channel. There are 16 MIDI channels, numbered 1 through

16, and MIDI channel data is always included whenever you

exchange data (key press, pedal operation, etc.).

Send

MIDI cable: MK-5

Both the sending machine and the receiving machine must

be set to the same channel for the receiving unit to correctly

receive and play data. If the receiving machine is set to

Channel 2, for example, it receives only MIDI Channel 2 data,

and all other channels are ignored.

Assigning Tones to Individual Channels

Simultaneous Receive Over

You can assign tones to channels using a Program Change

message sent from a connected MIDI device. You cannot

change the tone assigned to each channel from the digital

piano.

Multiple Channels (Multi-Timbre)

The Multi-Timbre mode makes it possible to assign the digital

piano’s built-in tones to MIDI channels 1 through 16. Then

you can simultaneously sound multiple channels to play from

a commercially available multi-track sequencer.

❚ NOTE

• The GRAND PIANO 1 tone is automatically assigned to all

channels whenever you turn on the digital piano power.

❚ NOTE

• See “Assigning Tones to Individual Channels” on this page for

details on assigning tones to each channel.

• Up to 16 channels can be received simultaneously (Channel 1

through channel 16).

• The number of channels to be received simultaneously cannot

be predetermined. If it becomes necessary to cancel a channel,

the cancel operation must be performed on the sending side.

Sending Song Memory Playback

Data

You can send song memory playback as MIDI data.

The send channel used depends on the keyboard channel

setting, as shown in the table below.
