E-5

Playing with Different Tones

Use the VOLUME controller to adjust the volume.

NOTE

• Of the digital piano’s 18 built-in tones, the first five

are grand piano tone. Each tone has its own distinctive merits, so you should select the tone that suits the song you are playing along with or your own personal preferences. The CONCERT and MODERN tones are assigned to buttons for quick and easy selection.

Tone Name Characteristics

CONCERT This is a full concert grand piano tone

that uses Linear Morphing* for dynamic and natural tone changes. This tone is designed to reproduce damper, resonance, and other piano nuances, which makes it ideal for virtually any type of piano performance.

MODERN This tone provides a bright grand piano

sound. The volume and timbre of this tone is quick to respond to different keyboard pressures, and it has relatively strong reverb. This tone is a good choice for dynamic and lively performances.

CLASSIC This is a natural piano tone that closely

resembles the sound of an acoustic piano. Though reverb and other flashy effects are subdued for this tone, resonance is more pronounced, which enables expression of delicate nuances. This tone is a good choice for lesson

and practice sessions. MELLOW Warm and mellow piano tone BRIGHT Bright and clear piano tone

Bass Tones (BASS 1, BASS 2)

Selecting either of the two BASS (LOWER) tones (1 or

2) in step 1 of the above procedure will assign the selected bass tone to the low range (left side) of the keyboard. The high range (right side) will be assigned the tone that was selected when you pressed the BASS 1 or BASS 2 key.

• BASS 1 and BASS 2 let you effectively split the

keyboard between two different tones.

Split Point

Low Range High Range

BASS 2 PIPE ORGAN

NOTE

• To return the keyboard to a single tone, select any

tone other than BASS 1 or BASS 2.

• You cannot select BASS 1 or BASS 2 when recording

to Track 2.

(Currently selected tone.)

* Feature that applies computer morphing

technology to enable seamless changes between sounds sampled at various dynamics from a full concert grand piano.

Playing with Different Tones

Adjusting Acoustic Piano Sound Characteristics

The tones of your digital piano have built-in elements that give them the characteristic reverberation of an acoustic piano. Each of these elements can be individually adjusted to one of four levels.

z HAMMER RESPONSE

Controls the time deviation between when a key is pressed and when the note actually sounds.

Settings

1: Fast 2: Grand piano feel 3: Slightly slower 4: Slow

z STRING RESONANCE

Adjusts the characteristic reverberation (string resonance) of an acoustic piano. You can select a reverberation setting that matches the song being played or your own personal preference.

Settings

1: Suppressed 2: Slightly suppressed 3: Reverberation 4: Strong reverberation

Layering Two Tones

Use the following procedure to layer two tones, so they sound at the same time. When specifying two tones for layering, first tone you select will be the main tone, while the second tone will be the layered tone.

While holding down the FUNCTION button, press down the keyboard key for the first tone you want to layer and then the key for the second tone.

Power Outlet Connecting Headphones

Your digital piano runs on standard household power. Be sure to turn off power whenever you are not using the digital piano.

Using an AC Adaptor

Use only the AC adaptor (JEITA Standard, with unified polarity plug) that comes with this digital piano. Use of a different type of AC adaptor can cause malfunction of the digital piano.

Specified AC Adaptor: AD-E24250LW

• Use the supplied power cord to connect the AC adaptor.

■ About the AC adaptor that comes with the Digital Piano

Note the following important precautions to avoid damage to the AC adaptor and power cord.

• Never pull on the cord with excessive force.

• Never repeatedly pull on the cord.

• Never twist the cord at the base of the plug or

connector.

• Before moving the digital piano, be sure to unplug

the AC adaptor from the power outlet.

• Loop and bundle the power cord, but never wind it

around the AC adaptor.

IMPORTANT!

• Never connect the AC adaptor that comes with this digital piano to any other device besides this piano. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction.

• Make sure the digital piano is turned off before plugging in or unplugging the AC adaptor.

• The AC adaptor will become warm to the touch after very long use. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

• Use the AC adaptor so its label surface is pointed downwards. The AC adaptor becomes prone to emitting electromagnetic waves when the label surface is facing upwards.

PHONES jacks

Stereo standard plug

Connect commercially available headphones to the PHONES jacks. Connecting headphones to either of the PHONES jack cuts off output to the speakers, which means you can practice even late at night without bothering others. To protect your hearing, make sure that you do not set the volume level too high when using headphones.

NOTE

• Be sure to push the headphones plug into the

PHONES jacks as far as it will go. If you don’t, you may hear sound from only one side of the headphones.

• If the plug of the headphones you are using does not

match the PHONES jacks, use the applicable commercially available adaptor plug.

• If you are using headphones that require an adaptor

plug, make sure you do not leave the adaptor plugged in when you unplug the headphones. If you do, nothing will sound from the speakers when you play.

E-44

Getting Ready

Connecting Audio Equipment or an Amplifier

You can connect audio equipment or a music amplifier to the Digital Piano and then play through external speakers for more powerful volume and better sound quality.

IMPORTANT!

• The Digital Piano automatically adjusts sound output to optimize for headphone output (when headphones are connected) or built-in speaker output (when headphones are not connected). This also will cause a change in the output quality from the Digital Piano’s LINE OUT R and L/MONO jacks.

• Whenever connecting a device to the Digital Piano, first use the VOLUME controller to set the volume to a low level. After connecting, you can adjust the volume to the level you want.

• Whenever you connect any device to the Digital Piano, be sure to read the user documentation that comes with the device.

Connecting to a Musical Instrument Amplifier 2

Use commercially available cables to connect the amplifier to the piano’s LINE OUT jacks as shown in Figure 2. LINE OUT R jack output is right channel sound, while LINE OUT L/MONO jack output is left channel sound. Connecting to the LINE OUT 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 piano’s VOLUME controller to adjust the volume level.

IMPORTANT!

• When using the LINE OUT jacks, also connect headphones to the PHONES jacks. This will switch the LINE OUT output to appropriate sound quality.

Digital Piano memory data was corrupted because a data transfer operation with a computer was in progress the last time you turned off the piano. When this happens, the Digital Piano performs a memory format operation the next time you turn it on. You cannot perform any other operation while a format operation is in progress.

This is an unavoidable result of the digital sampling process, * Multiple digital samples are taken for the low range, middle range, and high range of the original

musical instrument. Because of this, there may be very slight differences in tonal quality and volume between sample ranges.

This happens when the sounds of multiple parts are sounding at the same time while using layer, using the Duet Mode, playing back a built-in tune, recording, etc. Pressing a button when one of these conditions exists will cause the effect setting that is built into the tone to change automatically, which causes notes to cut out momentarily or causes a slight change in how effects are being applied.
