General Guide

PX-3 Configuration

Master Control Configuration

The PX-3 Digital Piano is a MIDI master keyboard that uses four zones (UPPER 1, UPPER 2, LOWER 1, LOWER 2) to control the internal sound source (INT) and external MIDI devices (EXT). Each zone performs simultaneous control over one internal sound source part and one external MIDI device channel (when both INT and EXT are ON).

The target (INT/EXT) of each zone control can be turned on or off as desired using the (INT/EXT) button. Zone editing (page E-28) lets you configure detailed settings related to how each individual zone controls an internal sound source and/or external MIDI device.

In the case of an internal sound source, zone editing can be performed to create sounds by selecting a DSP, configuring DSP settings, editing tones, etc. Following sound creation, signals are output via an equalizer that allows adjustment of centralized common parameter settings (page E-18).

•Before connecting headphones, be sure to use the Digital Piano’s (VOLUME) knob to turn the volume down to a low level. After connecting, you can adjust the volume to the level you want.

Left Side

Commercially available	PHONES jacks
headphones

Mini plug

Connect commercially available headphones to the PHONES jacks. To protect your hearing, make sure that you do not set the volume level too high when using headphones.

Connecting a Pedal

The back of the Digital Piano has two pedal jacks, one for a damper pedal and one for a soft/sostenuto pedal.

To connect to the pedal jack

Depending on the type of operation you want the pedal (SP-3) to perform, connect the pedal’s cable either to the Digital Piano’s DAMPER PEDAL jack or

SOFT/SOSTENUTO PEDAL jack. If you want to use both operations (jacks) at the same time, you need to purchase another optionally available pedal.

Back

PEDAL jacks

SP-3

NOTE

•You can connect a pedal to the SOFT/SOSTENUTO PEDAL jack and apply either a soft or sostenuto effect to the notes you play. For details, see “Pedal Assign” (page E-39).

Pedal Functions

 Damper Pedal

Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause the notes you play to reverberate for a very long time.

•Whenever a piano tone is selected, pressing this pedal will activate the Digital Piano’s Acoustic Resonance effect, which causes notes to resonate in the same way they do when the damper pedal on an acoustic piano is pressed. You can adjust the acoustic resonance effect for each individual tone, and you can apply it to other non-piano tones, if you want. For details, see “Acoustic Resonance” (page E-39) and “Acoustic Resonance Send” (page E-32).

 Soft Pedal

Pressing this pedal suppresses notes played on the keyboard after the pedal was pressed, and makes them sound softer.

 Sostenuto Pedal

Only the notes that are played while this pedal are depressed are sustained until the pedal is released.

Pedal Connector

You can connect the optionally available 3-Pedal Unit (SP-32) to the pedal connector on the bottom of the Digital Piano. You can then use the pedals for expression that is similar to that available on an acoustic piano.

Bottom	Pedal connector

NOTE

•The SP-32 Pedal Unit supports half-pedal operation (pressing the pedal part way). You can adjust the amount of the effect is applied when the damper pedal is pressed part way. For details, see “Half Pedal Effect” (page E-39).

•The optionally available CS-67P special stand is required in order to use the SP-32 Pedal Unit.

Selecting and Playing a Tone

13. To cancel layer and split, press (LAYER) and (SPLIT) buttons again so their lamps go out.

NOTE

•When using Layer and Split at the same time, you can switch to only a single tone in either of the keyboard ranges by configuring INT OFF for the zone whose tone you do not want to sound. For example, you could perform the steps below to sound zones UPPER 1, UPPER 2, and LOWER 1, without sounding the LOWER 2 zone.

UPPER 1

LOWER 1

UPPER 2

1.Press the (LOWER 2) button so its lamp is lit.

2.Press the (INT/EXT) button twice so the INT side (left side) lamp goes out.

Unlit

Lit

•Pressing the (UPPER 1), (UPPER 2),

(LOWER 1) or (LOWER 2) button causes the lamp of the pressed button to light, and the lamps of the other buttons to go out. At this time, the tone name of the zone whose button you press will appear on the display, and you can change the tone, if you want. However, the tones that sound when a keyboard keys are pressed depend on the current Layer and Split on/off settings.

•The (INT/EXT) button is for specifying what each zone controls (INT = internal sound source, EXT = external MIDI device). The INT (left) side lamp indicates internal sound source control on/off, while the EXT (right) side indicates external MIDI device control on/off. For details about this button, see “Using the Digital Piano as a MIDI Master Keyboard” (page E-26).

Applying Effects to a Tone

MASTER CONTROL CARD PLAYER

Reverb and Chorus

Your Digital Piano provides four types of reverb and four types of chorus. The reverb and chorus functions have their own dedicated keys for easy on/off operation.

•Each press of the (REVERB) button toggles reverb on and off. The lamp above the button is lit when reverb is on, and unlit when it is off.

•Each press of the (CHORUS) button toggles chorus on and off. The lamp above the button is lit when chorus is on, and unlit when it is off.

IMPORTANT!

•Under initial default settings of certain tones, chorus is not applied simply by turning chorus on. This is because the initial default value of the chorus send setting is 0. To apply chorus, change the chorus send value of the zone where you want to use it. For details, see “Effect Settings” (page E-32).

NOTE

•The reverb and chorus on/off setting is applied to all zones, but reverb send and chorus send settings can be configured for individual zones. For details, see “Effect Settings” (page E-32).

To change the reverb type

1. Hold down the (REVERB) button until the screen shown below appears.

2. Use the (w, q) buttons to select the reverb type you want.

3.When you are finished, press the

(CHORUS) button.

Pitch Bend Wheel

The (PITCH BEND) wheel lets you change the pitch of notes you are playing by rotating the wheel forward or back. Rotating the wheel away from you raises the pitch, while rotating it towards you lowers it. Releasing the wheel causes the pitch of the notes to return to normal automatically.

IMPORTANT!

•Do not have the pitch bend wheel rotated as you turn on the Digital Piano.

NOTE

•You also can change the range of the pitch bend wheel. See “Bend Range” (page E-20).
