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).
• Which of the four zones are available for use depends on the LAYER and SPLIT on/off status. For details, see
“Layering and Splitting Tones” (page E-12) and “Specifying the Zone Configuration” (page E-26).
E-4
English
Sound Source Configuration
NOTE
The sound source is configured with a total of 36 parts: four parts that correspond to each of the zones, 16 parts for
MIDI file playback, and 16 parts that operate as the multi-timbre sound source during receipt of MIDI input.
The following shows the relationships between parts, ports, and MIDI channels.

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.
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.
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.
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.
• 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).

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 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 on and off. The lamp above the button is lit
when chorus is on, and unlit when it is off.
• 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).
• 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

■ 5-A Attack Time (Atack)
Attack time is the time it takes for the
sound to reach full volume when a note
is played. This item makes relative adjustments to the
default attack time (0) of each tone. A larger positive
value lengthens the attack time, which produces a
slower attack. A larger negative absolute value
shortens the attack time, which produces a faster
attack.
–64 to 0
■ 5-B Release Time (Relas)
Release time is the time it takes for the
sound to fade when a note ends.
Adjustment is relative from the initial default setting
(0) of each tone. A larger negative absolute value
shortens the release time, while a larger positive value
lengthens the release time.

■ 5-C Filter Cutoff (Flter)
This item is for adjusting how the cutoff filter application is applied to a tone.
The cut-off filter is a tone adjustment filter that
eliminates (cuts off) all components over a given
frequency from within a tone’s overtone components.
Adjustment is relative from the initial default setting
(0) of each tone.
A larger negative absolute value produces a softer
sound, while a larger positive absolute value produces
a harder, brighter sound.

■ 5-D Touch Sense (Sense)
This item is for adjusting how much the
sound volume and timbre changes, and how
it changes in accordance with keyboard pressure.
Setting a larger absolute value causes relatively large
change in sound volume and timbre in response to
changes in key pressure. If this setting is 0, sound
volume and timbre remain constant regardless of key
pressure.
If the setting is positive, a larger value results in harder
notes when stronger pressure is applied, and softer
notes when lighter pressure is applied. If the setting is
negative, a larger value results in softer notes when
stronger pressure is applied, and harder notes when
lighter pressure is applied. The change in sound
volume and timbre depends on the tone.

Normally, before playing something you need to set up
the Digital Piano by configuring a number of different
settings, including layer and split on/off, a tone
selection for each zone, equalizer settings, and DSP
settings. You can save up to 64 Digital Piano setups
(which include control panel and internal settings) to
registration memory for later recall when you need
them. Each setup is saved as “registration data.”
Registration Memory
Operations
During registration data save and recall operations, the
location of the data in registration memory is specified
using a bank number and an area number. Registration
memory has eight banks, each of which is divided into
eight areas.

Card and Card Slot Precautions
• Be sure to observe the precautions provided in the
documentation that comes with the memory card.
• Memory cards have a write-protect switch. Use it
when you want to protect the data on the card from
accidental deletion.
• Avoid using a memory card under the following
conditions. Such conditions can corrupt data stored
on the memory card.
• Areas subjected to high temperature, high
humidity, or corrosive gas
• Areas subjected to strong electrostatic charge and
digital noise
• Never touch the contacts of a memory card when
loading it or removing it from the Digital Piano.
• Never eject the memory card while data is being
written to or loaded from it. Doing so can corrupt the
data on the memory card and damage the memory
card slot.
• Never insert anything besides a memory card into
the card slot. Doing so creates the risk of
malfunction.
• Electrostatic charge from your fingers or the memory
card to the card slot can cause malfunction of the
Digital Piano. If this happens, turn the Digital Piano
off and then back on again.
• A memory card can become quite warm after very
long use in the memory card slot. This is normal and
does not indicate malfunction.
To load and remove a memory card
• A memory card must be positioned correctly when
being loaded into the Digital Piano. Trying to force
an improperly oriented memory card into the slot can
damage the memory card and the slot.
1.
With the top of the memory card facing
upwards (so you can see it), carefully insert it
into the Digital Piano’s memory card slot (
until stops with a click.
2.
To remove the memory card first press it into
the slot further.
This will cause the memory card to disengage and eject
partially. Pull the memory card the rest of the way out
of the slot.
To format a memory card
• Format a memory card before using it for the first
time.
• Before formatting a memory card, make sure it does
not have any valuable data stored on it.
• The memory card format operation performed by this
Digital Piano is a “quick format”. If you want to
completely delete all of the data on the memory
card, format it on your computer or some other
device.

This is an unavoidable result of the digital sampling process,* and does not indicate
malfunction.
* 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 a very slight difference in tonal
quality and volume between sample ranges.
Performing a button operation while playing back a MIDI file can cause such phenomena
when the Digital Piano switches internal tone effects. It does not indicate malfunction.
The ranges of certain tones are limited, which means that octaves change normally up to a
certain low note or high note. With such a tone, the notes of the lowest octave will be
repeated to the left of the lowest possible note, and the highest octave will be repeated to the
right of the highest possible note. This is due do limitations in the range of the original musical
instrument for each tone, and does not indicate malfunction of the Digital Piano.

The table below shows the DSP types that can be configured for each zone using zone parameters (page E-28).
• The “DSP No.” column shows the DSP type numbers that appear on page 3 of the zone menu, and “Screen
Name” shows the name (abbreviated) that appears on the screen. “DSP Name” shows the full version of the
screen name.
• For information about the parameters of a DSP type, note the value for it shown in the “Algorithm No.” column,
and then refer to the corresponding item in the DSP Algorithm List (pages E-61 to E-66). Also note that algorithms
01 through 17 are single effects, while numbers with M before them are multi effects.
• The following two parameters are common to all of the DSP types in the table below.
Reverb Send (0 to 127)
Specifies how much of the sound that passes the DSP is sent to reverb.
Chorus Send (0 to 127)
Specifies how much of the sound that passes the DSP is sent to chorus.
Compresses the input signal, which can have the effect of
suppressing level variation and making it possible to sustain
dampened sounds longer.
Parameter Value Ranges:
0 :Depth (0 to 127)
Adjusts compression of the audio signal.
1 :Attack (0 to 127)
Adjusts the attack amount of the input signal. A smaller value
causes prompt compressor operation, which suppresses the
attack of the input signal. A larger values delays compressor
operation, which causes the attack of the input signal to be output
as-is.
2 :Release (0 to 127)
Adjusts the time from the point the input signal drops below a
certain level until the compression operation is stopped.
When an attack feeling is desired (no compression at the onset of
sound), set this parameter to as low a value as possible. To have
compression applied at all times, set a high value.
3 :Level (0 to 127)
Adjusts the output level.
Output volume changes in accordance with the Depth setting and
the characteristics of the input tone. Use this parameter to correct
for such changes.
03:Limiter
Limits the input signal level so it does not rise above a preset level.
Parameter Value Ranges:
0 : Limit (0 to 127)
Adjusts the volume level of the limit at which limiting is applied.
1 :Attack (0 to 127)
Adjusts the attack amount of the input signal.
2 :Release (0 to 127)
Adjusts the time from the point the input signal drops below a
certain level until the limit operation is stopped.
3 :Level (0 to 127)
Adjusts the output level.
Output volume changes in accordance with the Limit setting and
the characteristics of the input tone. Use this parameter to correct
for such changes.

15:Auto Wah
This is a “wah” effect that can automatically shift the frequency in
accordance with the level of the input signal.
Parameter Value Ranges:
0 :Input Level (0 to 127)
Adjusts the input level. The input signal can become distorted

Setting a positive value causes the wah filter to open in direct
proportion with the level of the input signal, producing a bright
sound. Setting a negative value causes the wah filter to close in
direct proportion with the level of the input signal, producing a
dark sound. Even when the wah filter is closed, high level input
will cause it to reopen.

Multi-effect Algorithms
A multi-effect is one connected to multiple single
effects (page E-61).
“M01: Multi01 (Enhancer - Chorus)”, for example, is a
multi-effect connected to two single effects: Enhancer
and Chorus. The parameters included in a multi-effect
algorithm are the same as the each of the connected
single-effect algorithms. However, the following two
parameters are specific to multi effects.
*** Skip (Off, On)
This parameter is included in M05, M06 (Phaser Skip),
M08 (Wah Skip), etc.
It makes it possible for one of the effects of a multi
effect (such a Wah in the case of Wah Skip) to be
bypassed. Turning this parameter on causes the
corresponding effect to be bypassed.
Note that depending on whether *** Skip is On or Off,
there may be some difference in the level of notes that
pass through the multi effect. Whether or not the level
difference occurs depends on the settings of the other
parameters of the multi effect. Adjust the Level, Depth,
and other parameters for the skipped effect as
required.
Routing
This parameter is included in M11 and M12. It swaps
the routing of the effect.
The following shows only the parameters of multieffect algirithms (M01 through M26).
17:Flanger
This is a flanger that uses a sine wave LFO.
Parameter Value Ranges:
0 :LFO Rate (0 to 127)
Adjusts the LFO rate.
1 :LFO Depth (0 to 127)
Adjusts the LFO depth.
2 :Feedback (–64 to 0 to +63)
