PEDAL jacks

SP-3

Pedal functions

• Damper Pedal

Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause the notes you play to reverberate for a very long time. When your selected tone has the DSP 099 (Acoustic Resonance) effect applied, using this pedal causes note to reverberate just like the pedal on an acoustic grand piano.

• Soft Pedal

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

• Sostenuto Pedal

Only the notes of the keys that are depressed when this pedal is pressed are sustained until the pedal is released.

Connecting to a PEDAL Jack

Depending on the type of operation you want the pedal (SP-

3) to perform, connect the pedal’s cable to the digital piano’s DAMPER PEDAL jack or SOFT/SOSTENUTO PEDAL jack. If you want to use both jacks at the same time, you need to purchase another optionally available pedal.

E-16

Selecting the Pedal Function

A pedal connected to the piano’s SOFT/SOSTENUTO PEDAL jack can operate as either a soft pedal or a sostenuto pedal. When you turn on the digital piano, the pedal is initially configured for soft pedal operation. For information about configuring settings, see “Changing Other Settings” on page E-68.

Adjusting the Effect Applied when the Damper Pedal is Pressed Half Way (With optional SP-30 only)

You can specify to what extent the damper effect should be applied when you press the damper pedal half way. For information about configuring settings, see “Changing Other Settings” on page E-68.

Connections

PEDAL connector

You can connect the optionally available Pedal Unit (SP-30) to the PEDAL connector. You can then use the pedals for expression that is similar to that available on an acoustic piano.

[Bottom]

PEDAL connector

Using the Microphone Input Jack

You can use the MIC IN jack to connect a commercially available microphone and sing along as you play.

NOTE

• When connecting a microphone, be sure to first adjust the MIC VOLUME to a relatively low setting, and then adjust to the level you want after connecting.

Set the MIC VOLUME knob setting so it is on the “MIN” side.

IMPORTANT!

• Be sure to use the microphone’s ON/OFF switch to turn off the microphone and to disconnect the microphone from the digital piano whenever you are not using it.

Recommended Microphone Type

• Dynamic microphone (standard plug)

Howling (Feedback Noise)

Any of the following conditions can cause howling (feedback noise).

• Covering the head of the microphone with your hand

• Positioning the microphone too near to a speaker

Should howling occur, try grasping the microphone further away from the head, and move away from any nearby speaker.

Static Noise

Fluorescent lighting can cause static noise in the microphone signal. When this happens, move away from the lighting you suspect may be causing the static.

Appendix

Polyphony

The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes you can play at the same time. The digital piano 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 digital piano, the number of notes (polyphony) available for keyboard play is reduced. Also note that some of the tones offer only 10note polyphony.

Changing Tones and Configuring DSP Effect Settings

This digital piano has only a single DSP sound source. Because of this, selecting tones for which DSP is enabled for multiple parts when layering or splitting tones (pages E-63, 64) can cause conflicts. To avoid conflicts, DSP is allocated to the last DSP enabled tone, and DSP is disabled (DSP line OFF) for all other parts. DSP line is a parameter that controls whether or not the currently selected DSP effect is applied to a part.* Each tone has a DSP line parameter. Selecting a tone for a part applies the tone’s DSP line parameter setting to all parts. * The DSP line parameter is turned on (DSP effect is applied)

for the 400 Advanced Tones numbered 000 through 399, and turned off (DSP effect not applied) for the 200 preset tones from 400 to 599. For information about other tones, see “Tone Types” on page E-18.

Use the number buttons to input the three digit tone number for the tone you want to select.

DSP

DSP effects are applied to the connection between the sound source and output. You can select distortion and modulation effects. You can create DSP effect setups and also transfer downloaded DSP data from your computer. The digital piano has memory that lets you store up to 100 DSP effect setups. See “Internet Data Expansion System” on page E-79 and “Saving the Settings of DSP Parameters” on page E-27 for more information.

REVERB

Reverb simulates the acoustics of specific types of environments. You can choose from among 16 different reverb effects, including “Room” and “Hall”.

CHORUS

The chorus effect gives sound greater depth by causing it to vibrate. You can choose from among 16 different chorus effects, including “Chorus” and “Flanger”.

EQUALIZER

The equalizer is another type of effect that you can use to make adjustments in tone quality. Frequencies are divided among a number of bands, and raising and lowering the level of each frequency band alters the sound. You can reproduce the optimal acoustics for the type of music you are playing (classics, for example) by selecting the applicable equalizer setting.

NOTE

• Whether or not an effect is applied to the parts that are sounding also depends on Mixer Mode Reverb Send, Chorus Send, and DSP on/off settings. See “Mixer Function” on page E-39 for more information.

• Playing a demo tune (page E-12) automatically changes the effect to the one that is assigned to the tune. You cannot change or cancel a demo tune effect.

• Changing the effect setting while sound is being output by the keyboard causes a slight break in the sound when the effect changes.

• A number of tones, called “Advanced Tones”, automatically turn on the DSP line for richer, higher quality sound. If you assign an Advanced Tone to a keyboard part (Channels 1 through 4), the DSP line turns on automatically and the DSP selection changes in accordance with the settings of the Advanced Tone. Also, the Mixer Mode DSP line on/off setting for the keyboard part to which the Advanced Tone is assigned is turned on.* * The Mixer DSP line setting is automatically turned off

for each part that does not have an Advanced Tone assigned. Because of this, DSP effects previously applied to these parts are cancelled, which can make their tone sound different. In this case, display the Mixer screen and turn DSP back on.

Applying Effects to Tones

After everything is the way you want, press the [왔] CURSOR button to store the effect.

• This will display a confirmation message asking whether you really want to save the data. Press the YES button to save the data.

• The message “Complete” appears momentarily on the display, followed by the tone or rhythm selection screen.

About the DSP Button

Checking the DSP button will tell you whether or not DSP is enabled for the tone that is currently selected for a part. The DSP button will be lit for a tone that is DSP enabled (DSP line ON), and unlit for a tone that is DSP disabled (DSP line OFF). For example, when you move each part while using the split/ layer function, the DSP button lights or goes out in accordance with that parts setting.

Pressing the DSP button toggles the tone of the part you are currently playing on the keyboard between enabled (DSP line ON) and disabled (DSP line OFF).

To turn DSP line on and off

Press the DSP button to toggle DSP line for the currently selected part on and off.
