1. Basic Operations
Setting Up the LH-1
Consider instrument placement before playing the LH-1:
For best sound quality, the instrument should be placed in an open area and should
not be confined or surrounded by walls, curtain screens or similar furniture.
The Bass sounds radiate virtually 360 degrees around the base of the LH-1.
Mid-range and treble sounds project at a wide angle from the top rear of the instrument
(the side away from the player).
Additionally, there are hidden monitor speakers at each end of the control button panel
that project sound toward the player.
AC Power
The LH-1 is supplied with a three-wire attached AC power cord. Plug this instrument
into a properly wired three-wire grounded AC outlet only.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Power Switch
The Power On Button is located on the left (bass) end of the front panel. Press this
button one time to turn power ON. Press it again to turn power OFF.
If you haven’t already done so, press the power button to turn on power.
Volume Control
Adjust the VOLUME SLIDER to a minimum low level when you first turn on the
instrument especially when using headphones. Then, adjust volume upward to a
comfortable listening level.
Master Volume Control
Note that overall volume can be adjusted using the MASTER VOLUME knob located
underneath the keyboard on the right side of the instrument. MASTER VOLUME is the
primary volume control. All other volume controls (Volume Slider and Expression
Pedal) will only adjust volume within the overall limit set by the MASTER VOLUME
knob.
Organ Expression Pedal
Located to the right of the three piano pedals at the base of the LH-1 is the ORGAN
EXPRESSION PEDAL. This pedal allows the player to control the volume level of
organ sounds only with the right foot while playing notes on the keyboard. The ORGAN
EXPRESSION PEDAL is not active when Piano Sounds are selected.
Playing the Instrument
When the LH-1 is first powered on, the Display Screen at the center of the operating
panel will move through two introductory screens. After these screens disappear, the
Sound Selection Screen will indicate that the ORGAN 1 Sound (Soft Strings) is active.
The red light on the ORGAN 1 Button should also be lit to indicate that the ORGAN 1
Sound is selected. ORGAN 1 is always the default sound at power up.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Play any key or chord and adjust the volume slider upward or downward to a
comfortable listening level. If the volume seems too low, use the Organ Expression
Pedal to raise the volume as desired. If volume is still too low, adjust the MASTER
VOLUME knob until you reach the desired listening level.
Selecting Organ Sounds
You may select any one of five (5) individual preset ORGAN sounds by pressing the
appropriate Organ Sound Button. The lamp on the selected button will light when a
Sound Button is pressed. The Sound Selection Screen in the DISPLAY should confirm
the desired sound selection.
Select any one of the five organ sounds
Organ 1 is SOFT STRINGS. Organ 2 is MELLOW FLUTES. Organ 3 is MEDIUM
ENSEMBLE.
Organ 4 is LOUDER ENSEMBLE. Organ 5 is FULL ENSEMBLE
Using the Bass Coupler
The BASS COUPLER Button adds a single Bass Note to any selected Organ Sound.
The added Bass Note is one octave below the lowest note currently being played. If
you haven’t already done so, press the BASS COUPLER Button.
The lamp on the button should light and the Sound Selection Screen will change to
indicate the BASS COUPLER feature has been selected. You should hear the lower
bass tone with the first notes played after the BASS COUPLER feature has been
activated.
Important:
The BASS COUPLER feature will only operate with notes played on the G above
Middle C and below. (This G is found below the Display function button #6, see graphic
on page 14). The Bass Coupler will not accompany any notes played above this G.
The BASS COUPLER feature will not operate with the HYMNS & CHILDREN’S
SONGS feature.
The BASS COUPLER feature may be more difficult to hear when using the ORGAN 4
and ORGAN 5 sounds, since these sounds inherently contain more bass component.
Select Piano Sounds or Press one of the two Piano Sound buttons.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Piano 1 is BRIGHT CONCERT GRAND PIANO. Piano 2 is MELLOW GRAND PIANO.
When either of these buttons is pressed, the associated lamp will light and the selected
sound name will appear in the Display.
Like an acoustic piano, the LH-1 keyboard is responsive to touch and expression
when playing Piano 1 or Piano 2. Striking the keys with hard pressure will produce loud
volume. Touching the keys gently will produce a quiet volume. The awarding-winning
Concert Grand Piano tone used in the LH-1 is a reproduction of Kawai’s flagship EX
Concert Grand Piano, chosen by winners and finalists of major piano competitions
around the globe.
Reverb
Each of the seven sounds in the LH-1 has been assigned a preset level of Reverb.
However, these settings can be adjusted for each sound. Select a Piano or Organ
sound and play a note or chord while listening for the Reverb level. Use the LEFT
Select Buttons to adjust the Reverb level for the Piano sounds. Use the RIGHT Select
Buttons to adjust the Reverb level for the Organ sounds. The bottom Select Button is
(0) level or Reverb OFF. Higher Select Buttons provide increasingly more Reverb
level. Each sound can have its own Reverb level during a given playing session.
However, all Reverb settings will return to the original preset levels when the LH-1 is
turned off.
Using the Piano Pedals
The LH-1 piano has three (3) pedals, identical to those found on an acoustic Grand
Piano.
SOFT SOSTENUTO SUSTAIN
Sustain Pedal
Depressing the SUSTAIN PEDAL causes sound to be sustained even after you
remove your hands from the keyboard.
Sostenuto Pedal

Pressing this pedal after pressing the keyboard and before releasing the keys, sustains
the sound of only the keys that have just been played.
Soft Pedal
Depressing this pedal softens the character and volume of the selected piano voice.
Transpose
The TRANSPOSE function can be activated with any sound, or with the HYMNS &
CHILDRENS SONGS feature. The TRANSPOSE function changes the keyboard pitch
by semitones, down (–) 12 semitones or up (+) 12 semitones.
Select Pitch: or Return to Standard Pitch: and
Choose any one of the sounds. Then, press the left TRANSPOSE button one (1) time.
Notice that a “C” key will be heard as a “B” note. The pitch of the LH-1 has been
shifted downward by one semitone. The lamp in the left TRANSPOSE button will light
to alert you that the TRANSPOSE feature is activated. Also, a box in the Display will
appear to tell you that the LH-1 is transposed down one semitone (TRANSPOSE –1).
Now press the right TRANSPOSE button one (1) time. The LH-1 will return to standard
pitch, the lamp on the TRANSPOSE button will go off, and the TRANSPOSE box in the
Display will disappear. When you press the right TRANSPOSE button again, the pitch
will be raised by one semitone (so a played “C” will be heard as a “C#”). The lamp in
the right TRANSPOSE button will light and a box in the Display will appear showing
TRANSPOSE
+1.
NOTE: To return to standard pitch at any time, press both TRANSPOSE buttons
simultaneously. The lamps will go out to indicate standard pitch.
2. Hymns & Children’s Songs
The unique Hymns & Children’s Songs feature allows anyone lacking in keyboard skills
to play any of 176 selected Hymns and Children’s Songs. The following section will
walk you through this feature step by step.

To select a hymn or song, use the Select Buttons to select the desired number. Once
selected, the hymn or song title and number will appear in the display.
Note: You can use the BACK button feature at any time to return to the list of hymns or
songs or number list for another song selection. You can also exit Hymns & Children’s
Songs at any time by pressing the ENTER/EXIT button or by pressing the BACK
button two or three times.
PLAYING HYMNS & CHILDREN’S SONGS
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Once you have selected a hymn or children’s song, there are three different ways to
play it using the Hymns & Children’s Songs feature:
AUTOPLAY: You can play any hymn or children’s song automatically. Simply select a
song and press the PLAY button. The selected hymn or song will immediately play
back.
METER PLAY METHOD: You can play a hymn or song by tapping any key on the LH-
1 keyboard in “straight meter” (that is, with evenly spaced beats). Your tapping will
control both the tempo and the volume of the song’s playback. In essence, the
Meter Play Method allows you to “conduct” the hymn or children’s song.
RHYTHM PLAY METHOD: You can play a hymn or song by tapping any key with a
prescribed rhythm that corresponds to the melody of the selected hymn or song.
The “Note Navigator” feature in the Display will guide you in playing the proper rhythm.
AUTOPLAY
Once you have selected a hymn or children’s song, you can play it back easily using
the AutoPlay method. Simply press the function button that corresponds to the PLAY
VERSE button in the Display. When this button is pressed, the selected hymn or song
should begin to play immediately. (The song can be stopped at any time by pressing
the STOP VERSE button). Also, you can press the BACK function button to return to
the hymn or song list for another selection.
Pressing the PLAY VERSE function button again will re-start playing of the hymn or
song from the beginning.
METER PLAY METHOD
There are two different “tap methods” available in the LH-1. Both methods allow you to
“tap” out a hymn or song on the keyboard. Your tapping will control both tempo and
volume of the song’s playback.
The first of the two methods, called the Meter Play Method, allows you to play a hymn
or song by tapping any key on the LH-1 keyboard in “straight meter” (that is, with
evenly spaced beats… similar to “conducting”).
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Using Meter Play Method
(1) If you haven’t already done so, select a hymn or song that you want to play.
(2) Meter Play Method is the default choice and should already be highlighted to
indicate it is active. The title with suggested tempo should also appear in the Display.
(3) Choose any key on the keyboard to start tapping. With first key played, the Display
will change to the NOTE NAVIGATOR screen.
(4) The NOTE NAVIGATOR screen presents a grid of large dots that appear between
vertical bars on the screen. The dots (•) represent “beats,” and the vertical bars ( .)
represent “measures.” The Note Navigator will be your guide to tapping out a hymn or
song.
(5) With each keystroke, the dots (•) change to a large plus mark (+) after a note is
played.
Be sure to play with even beats – only one key at a time. Continue playing to the end,
where you will see a double bar ( ..). After this marking, the title screen will reappear. If
you continue playing the keys with even beats, the hymn or song will repeat from the
beginning.
(6) If you stop playing at any time, the hymn or song playback will stop. You may
resume playing after the pause or press BACK to select another hymn or song.
Rhythm Play Method
The Rhythm Play Method is also an easy way to play a hymn or song. However, with
this method, the technique for tapping requires you to use a prescribed rhythm that
corresponds to the melody of the selected hymn or song.
(1) Choose a song to play. The Display will show a title, number and tempo (similar to
the Meter Play Method).
(2) Press the function button that corresponds to the RHYTHM button in the display.
The word Rhythm should be highlighted to indicate that the Rhythm Play Method is
active.
(3) With first key played, the display will change to the NOTE NAVIGATOR screen
(similar to the Meter Play Method). As before, this screen presents a grid of large dots
that appear between vertical bars on the screen. The dots (•) represent either beats or
notes, and the vertical bars ( .) represent measures. The Note Navigator will be your
guide to tapping out a hymn or song.
(4) Understanding the NOTE NAVIGATOR Screen: In the previous Meter Play Method,
the NOTE NAVIGATOR screen showed only one dot per beat. That is appropriate for
the Meter Play Method; since you would tap only once for each beat no matter how
many actual notes are played by the LH-1 during that beat (the LH-1 would often play
two or even three notes during a single beat).
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
In the Rhythm Play Method, the NOTE NAVIGATOR screen will ask you to tap actual
rhythms rather than even beats. Therefore, you will sometimes see two or more dots
(set closer together) in the space of one beat. In these cases, you would tap the
indicated number of times within that single beat. (Examples: A Mighty Fortress #68, A
Child’s Prayer #12).
At other times, you will see “empty” spaces within a single beat, or some combination
of dots and empty spaces. The empty spaces indicate “rests” where no tap should
occur. The dots will usually be placed at the beginning (left side) or end (right side) of a
beat, adjacent to the “empty” space. This dot placement will tell you whether to tap at
the beginning or end of that beat. (Example: As Sisters in
Zion #309, see second line, second beat).
In musical terms, the use of multiple dots is equivalent to eighth notes or, in some
cases, eighth note triplets. The placement of dots in the NOTE NAVIGATOR screen
will help to introduce novice players to the concept of reading musical rhythms. Once
the player has mastered the Rhythm Play Method using this screen, the next step in
developing your keyboard skills and reading musical notation should be much easier.
Choose any key on the keyboard and begin playing this key repeatedly at the
suggested tempo and note spacing shown on the NOTE NAVIGATOR screen. In
addition, play with some expression. Imagine you are singing the song. Often, the way
you “tap” the keys will be very similar to the way you would “sing” the song.
This concept should help in developing your technique with the Rhythm Play Method.
Again, be sure to play only one key at a time.
With each keystroke, the Dots (•) change to a large plus mark (+) after a note is
played. Continue playing to the end, where you will see a double bar ( ..). After this
marking, the title screen will reappear. If you continue playing the keys in the
appropriate rhythm, the hymn or song will repeat from the beginning.
If you stop tapping at any time, the hymn or song will stop. You may resume tapping
after the pause or press BACK to select a different hymn or song.
INTRO
Each hymn or song is equipped with its own introduction, or INTRO. The built-in
INTROs vary in length. Some are short (4 measures) and others are long (up to 8
measures). To start with the INTRO, press the function button that corresponds with
the PLAY INTRO box in the Display. The INTRO will play immediately after the button
is pressed. After INTRO is finished, the sound stops while the LH-1 waits for you to
select either the AUTOPLAY
Method or one of the two Play Methods (Meter Play or Rhythm Play) as follows:
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
(1) If desired, you may select the AUTOPLAY function by pressing the PLAY VERSE
function button to begin playing the hymn or song. You may stop at any time by
pressing the STOP VERSE function button.
(2) You may choose either of the two Play Methods by selecting the desired method
and then tapping a key. (See above for instructions on each of the two Play Methods.)
In either case, you would normally wait at least one beat after the INTRO concludes
before starting the VERSE. The LH-1 needs this slight pause to reset itself for the
playing of the VERSE.
TEMPO
TEMPO control is active anytime you are using the AutoPlay function of the Hymns &
Children’s Songs feature. Press either button to change the tempo – the left button
reduces the tempo; while the right button increases the tempo.
Decrease Increase
3. Jacks
Headphone Jacks
The two Headphone Jacks are located under the keyboard at the left end.
Both are active and interrupt the Internal Speaker System when private playing is
desired.
Input / Output & MIDI Jacks
The Jacks Panel is located under the keyboard on the right (treble) end of the
instrument.
Line Out Jacks
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
These jacks provide Line Level stereo audio sound output from the LH-1 to external
amplifiers, tape recorders or similar audio equipment. L/MONO also provides
composite monophonic output for those situations requiring only monophonic output.
Line In Jacks
These jacks receive Line Level stereo sound from the audio outputs of other
instruments or equipment, which is then heard through the LH-1 speaker system.
Master Volume Control
This control sets the maximum overall volume level of the instrument and provides
some balance control between the LH-1 and an external speaker system.
4. Basic MIDI
Defining MIDI
The term “MIDI” is an acronym that stands for the Musical Instrument Digital Interface.
MIDI allows communication between MIDI-equipped devices. Using MIDI, an
instrument can control the sounds of another instrument, or vice versa. MIDI also
allows many instruments to be controlled by a computer (with appropriate software) or
a specialized MIDI recording device, allowing the instruments to perform as an
ensemble.
MIDI Jacks
These jacks allow MIDI communication with other MIDI devices. Note that the LH-1
transmits and receives only played key information. Notes created automatically
through the Hymns and Children’s Songs features are not transmitted.
MIDI IN: Receives digital data from other instruments.
MIDI OUT: Transmits digital data to other instruments.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
MIDI THRU: Data received via MIDI IN from other instruments is passed through
unchanged to other instruments.
#1 #2 #3
MIDI Connections (based upon the graphic)
Keyboard #1 is transmitting digital data via MIDI OUT jack.
Keyboard #2 is receiving this digital data via MIDI IN jack.
Keyboard #2 is also passing THRU Data received via MIDI IN from Keyboard #1
unchanged to Sound Module #3
Sound Module #3 is receiving the digital data transmitted from Keyboard #1 MIDI OUT
jack via the Keyboard #2 MIDI THRU jack.
The LH-1 will normally be placed in the #1 position as the primary controller, but could
be connected into other positions.
LH-1 Example:
Using the above graphic for explanation:
The graphic shows Keyboard #1 as the primary controlling instrument.
When the LH-1 is in position #1, its MIDI played key data will be transmitted to
instrument #2, which also passes THRU unchanged to #3. You could select sounds in
#2 and #3 and hear these sounds while playing the LH-1.
Selecting MIDI Local Off in LH-1 System Mode would allow you to hear only instrument
#2 and #3.

1. Speaker Assignment
Press the SPEAKER ASSIGNMENT button and the Display changes to a menu
showing the seven selectable sounds. Piano sounds are shown on left side. Organ
sounds are shown on right. Any sound you choose will offer these same options.
2. Change Assignment
After you have entered SYSTEM MODE and have selected Speaker Assignment using
the appropriate select button, the Display will show the seven PIANO and ORGAN
sounds. Press the PIANO 1 select button. The Internal box will be highlighted to
indicate that the LH-1’s Internal Speaker System is now active for this sound. Press
the All Speakers function button to change this assignment. Once All Speakers is
selected, the LH-1 will send sound to both the Internal Speakers and the External
Outputs (where optional External Powered Speakers can be connected).
Now, press the BACK button three (3) times. With the third press, a window will open
that says “Saving the Data Please Wait !” Once this statement disappears, the change
will have been made in the LH-1’s computer memory. The PIANO 1 sound will then be
heard through the Internal Speakers and any optional External Powered Speakers that
are connected to the Line Out jacks.
If you re-enter the SYSTEM MODE to check the Speaker Assignment, you should see
that the All Speakers box is highlighted for PIANO 1. To return to the original setting,
select Internal and press the BACK button three (3) times to save the new setting and
exit.
You can use this process to select a separate Speaker Assignment for each of the
LH-1’s seven sounds.
Internal
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Choose Internal to hear the LH-1 sounds only through the Internal Speaker System.
This is the default Factory Setting for the two PIANO sounds.
External
Choose External to hear the LH-1 using only an optional External Speaker System that
may be connected to the LH-1’s Audio Output Jacks located under the right side of the
keyboard. Choosing External disconnects the LH-1’s internal speaker system.
External assignment will normally be used with ORGAN sounds.
Note: Do not choose External if there is no External Speaker System connected to the
LH-1.
All Speakers
Choose All Speakers to hear the LH-1 using both the Internal Speaker System and an
optional External Speaker System connected to the LH-1. Choosing All Speakers will
give you maximum sound power distribution. This is the default Factory Setting for all
ORGAN sounds.
Note: You must change Speaker Assignments individually for each sound. There is no
global assignment.
Piano Sounds
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
When either of the two piano sounds is selected, Internal is the default as indicated by
the highlighted box. Piano sounds will normally sound best using the Internal Speaker
System.
The LH-1’s powerful amplification system should be adequate for a larger room or
small auditorium. However, if used in a large to extra-large auditorium, you may want
to add an External Speaker System. Then, you should choose External or All Speakers
to obtain the best overall balance of sound.
Organ Sounds
When any ORGAN sound is selected, All Speakers are in the default setting as
indicated by the highlighted box. The powerful amplification system within the LH-1
should be adequate
for a larger room or small auditorium. ORGAN sounds are sometimes played with
more power and expression than PIANO sounds. Therefore, in a large to extra-large
auditorium, you may want to add an External Speaker System. Then, you should
choose External or All Speakers to obtain the best overall balance of sound.
2. MIDI/Tuning Functions
Enter SYSTEM MODE (see above), then press the “MIDI/Tuning Functions” Select
Button. The LCD Display will change to the screen below:
NOTE: After making any change in the MIDI/Tuning Functions, press the BACK button
two (2) times to save and exit.
MIDI Channel
The number below the word Channel in the Display is the current operating MIDI
Channel. Note also the MIDI Channel box in the lower left corner of the Display. Press
either the DOWN or UP ARROW function button to change the MIDI Channel from one
(1) to sixteen (16) or MIDI OFF.
NOTE: The LH-1 transmits or receives played key data only. Transmit and
Receive Channels cannot be assigned individually. The default is Channel 1.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
MIDI Channel 1 to 16: Press the DOWN or UP ARROW to change the MIDI Channel.
A MIDI channel is chosen to send or receive MIDI data when the LH-1 is used with
other MIDI-equipped instruments or modules. Some instruments or modules may not
have the selectable channel feature or may have a limited range of channels.
MIDI OFF: Choosing MIDI Off disconnects the LH-1’s MIDI System. When MIDI is off,
the LH-1 will not transmit or receive MIDI information.
6. System Mode
LOCAL On/Off: With Local On, the LH-1 transmits “played note” data into the MIDI
system. With Local Off, the LH-1 will not transmit the “played note” data to its own
sound generator. Therefore, the notes played may be heard on other instruments
attached to the LH-1 via MIDI, but not through the LH-1 itself.
Tuning
Tuning of 440.0 Hz (A=440) is the LH-1’s default factory setting. However, Tuning may
