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.

Modes

This Digital Piano has two main modes: a MASTER CONTROL mode and a CARD PLAYER mode. Each of these modes has two sub-modes: a TONE mode and a REGISTRATION mode.

Use the MASTER CONTROL mode when playing the Digital Piano in a stand-alone configuration or when using it as a MIDI master keyboard. The setup of the MASTER CONTROL mode can be changed using common parameters (page E-18) and zone parameters (page E-28). Use the CARD PLAYER mode to play back a MIDI file. In the CARD PLAYER mode, you can play on the keyboard along with MIDI file playback. Though the CARD PLAYER mode also supports control of an external MIDI device, parameter settings cannot be configured.

Note that you should be aware of the Digital Piano’s current mode whenever performing an operation. Note the following important points.

• The Digital Piano’s initial power on default mode is the MASTER CONTROL

mode’s TONE mode.

• Each press of the

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 “Effect Settings” (page E-32).
