Note that the standard plug you connect to the keyboard must be a stereo plug, otherwise you will be able to output only one of stereo channels. In this configuration, you normally set the input selector of the audio equipment to the terminal (usually marked AUX IN or something similar) where the cord from the keyboard is connected. See the user documentation that comes with your audio equipment for full details.

Musical Instrument Amplifier (Figure 3)

Use a commercially available connecting cord to connect the keyboard to a musical instrument amplifier.

NOTE

• Be sure to use a connecting cord that has a stereo standard plug on the end you connect to the keyboard, and a connector that provides dual channel (left and right) input to the amplifier to which you are connecting. The wrong type of connector at either end can cause one of the stereo channels to be lost.

You can also connect the keyboard to a computer. See “Connecting to a Computer” on page E-48 for details.

Sustain/Assignable Jack

You can connect an optional sustain pedal (SP-3 or SP-20) to the SUSTAIN/ASSIGNABLE JACK to enable the capabilities described below.

For details on how to select the pedal function you want, see “SUSTAIN/ASSIGNABLE JACK (Default: SUS)” on page E-51.

SUSTAIN/ASSIGNABLE JACK

SP-20

Sustain Pedal

• With piano tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to linger, much like a piano’s damper pedal.

• With organ tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to continue to sound until the pedal is released.

Sostenuto Pedal

• As with the sustain pedal function described above, depressing the sostenuto pedal causes notes to be sustained.

• This difference between a sostenuto pedal and sustain pedal is the timing. With a sostenuto pedal, you press the keys and then depress the pedal before you release the keys.

• Only the notes that are sounding when the pedal is depressed are sustained.

When connected to a musical instrument amplifier, set the volume of the keyboard to a relatively low level and make output volume adjustments using the amplifier’s controls.

Basic Operations

Polyphony

The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes you can play at the same time. The keyboard has 32-note polyphony, which includes the notes you play as well as the rhythms and auto-accompaniment patterns that are played by the keyboard. This means that when a rhythm or autoaccompaniment pattern is being played by the keyboard, the number of notes (polyphony) available for keyboard play is reduced. Also note that some of the tones offer only 16-note polyphony.

• When rhythm or auto accompaniment is playing, the number of sounds simultaneously played is reduced.

Using Tone Effects

Reverb: Makes your notes resonate Chorus: Adds more breadth to your notes

Press the REVERB/CHORUS button to cycle through the effect settings as shown below.

• You can find out the current effect setting by looking at the REVERB and CHORUS indicators.
