Connections
Connecting to an audio or musical instrument amplifier provides even clearer, more powerful sound through external speakers.
Headphones
IMPORTANT!
Whenever connecting external equipment, first set the VOLUME knob 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.
Connecting Headphones 1
Connect commercially available headphones to the digital pianos 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.
Connecting to a PEDAL Jack 2
Depending on the type of operation you want the pedal (SP-
20) to perform, connect the pedals cable to the digital piano’s
DAMPER jack or SOFT/SOSTENUTO jack. If you want to use both jacks at the same time, you need to purchase another optionally available SP-20 pedal. See Using the Pedals on page E-15 for information about using a pedal.

Connecting to Audio Equipment 3
Use commercially available cables to connect the external audio equipment 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. 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 knob to adjust the volume level.
Connecting to a Musical Instrument Amplifier 4
Use commercially available cables to connect the amplifier to the digital piano's LINE OUT jacks as shown in Figure 4. 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 knob to adjust the volume level.
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.

More about tones
Polyphony
This digital piano can play up to 64 notes at the same time. Also note that the tones below offer only 32-note polyphony. GRAND PIANO 1, BRIGHT PIANO, MELLOW PIANO, ELEC PIANO 2, HARPSICHORD
Touch Response
The touch response feature of this digital piano causes the volume of the tones and the sound of the tones themselves to change slightly in accordance with how much pressure you apply to the keyboard, just like with 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.
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.
2.
Press one of the TONE buttons to select the tone you want.
3.
Use the VOLUME knob to adjust the volume.
It is a good idea to set the volume to a relatively low level at first.
Moving the knob towards MIN decreases volume, while moving it towards MAX increases volume.
4.
Play something on the keyboard.
Adjust volume to the level you want as you play.
5.
After you are finished playing, press the POWER button to turn off power.
NOTE
The GRAND PIANO 1 tone is selected automatically whenever you turn on the digital piano power.

MIDI
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.
What you can do with MIDI
Send
MIDI cable: MK-5
OUT
Sender
What you play on the digital piano can be sent to the connected device as MIDI messages*1. The connected device sounds notes in accordance with the messages it receives.
MIDI messages*1 can be sent from the digital piano to a commercially available MIDI sequencer*2 for recording.
IN
Receiver
MIDI musical instrument MIDI sound module MIDI sequencer Other MIDI device
*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.
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.
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.). 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.
This digital piano is equipped with multi-timbre capabilities, which means it can receive messages over all 16 MIDI channels and play up to 16 parts at the same time. Keyboard and pedal operations performed on this digital piano are sent out by selecting a MIDI channel (1 to 16) and then sending the appropriate message.
Receive
MIDI cable: MK-5

MIDI musical instrument MIDI sequencer Other MIDI device
The digital piano can be used to sound notes sent as MIDI messages from a connected device.
Commercially available MIDI piano data can be sent from a MIDI sequencer*2 or MIDI-capable personal computer for playback on the digital piano. Up to 16 parts can be played simultaneously by the digital piano.

Simultaneous Receive Over Multiple Channels (Multi-Timbre)
The Multi-Timbre mode makes it possible to assign the digital pianos 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
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.
Setting the Keyboard Channel
This parameter sets the channel for sending MIDI messages to an external device. You can set any MIDI channel in the range of 1 to 16 as the keyboard channel.
To set the Keyboard Channel
1.
While still holding down the CONTROL button, select the Keyboard channel by pressing one of the keyboard keys illustrated below.
Assigning Tones to Individual Channels
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.
NOTE
The GRAND PIANO 1 tone is automatically assigned to all channels whenever you turn on the digital piano power.
Sending Memory Playback Data
You can send memory playback as MIDI data. The send channel used depends on the keyboard channel setting, as shown in the table below.
Keyboard Play Keyboard Channel Memory Keyboard Channel + 1*
* When you have Channel 16 set as the keyboard channel,
memory playback is send over Channel 1.
NOTE
Pedal effect data recorded to memory is applied to play back from memory, and does not affect your performance on the keyboard. Likewise, pedal operations on the digital piano are applied to the keyboard only, and not to play back from the memory.
Example: Channel 8
