DATA ENTRY

LOWER UPPER1

STYLE UPPER2



Before starting to use the PIANO, you need to become familiar with
some of the main controls and functions that will be used in the
examples which follow.

CURSOR KEYS

These four keys are used to move around inside the display. On many
video pages, you will see a highlighted, or rather reverse-coloured,
display box that shows the position of the CURSOR. To move the
CURSOR to a different position on the screen, use the CURSOR keys to
move it up, dwn, right or left.

THE ENCODER

The ENCODER is used for a variety of operations.
With the PIANO MAIN video page displayed, the
ENCODER changes the style tempo; turning it
clockwise gradually increases the tempo,
anticlockwise decreases it.

SIDE SELECTORS

The side selectors are the four buttons at either side of the display.
They move the CURSOR straight into one of the four sensitive zones,
meaning the zones most used during performances, which are:

The two side selectors on the right of the display become unit (Floppy
disk / Card) selectors with the DISK video page displayed.

FUNCTION KEYS

The function keys (F1…F8) underneath the display are used to select
the boxes that appear in the bottom of the screen.

These boxes are dynamic, meaning that their functions change
depending on the page displayed. Later we will see all the functions
the function keys assume on every page, but for now we will start
from the MAIN page. When you select one of the Style family keys the
boxes at the bottom display the 8 styles in the selected family. You
can now use one of the function keys (F1…F8) corresponding to the
box with the name of the style you wish to select.

Galileo

Page 3

The same procedure also applies to the Sounds.

LOWER - UPPER1 - UPPER2

These keys activate (LED on) or deactivate (LED off) the parts of the
PIANO, meaning the sounds that can be played simultaneously.
The LOWER part activates the Lh part of the keyboard (below the
SPLIT point).
For example, you may activate this part if you wish to play a Pad or
Strings sound in your left hand even together with the accompaniment,
or to select a bass sound to play in manual bass mode.
The UPPER1 and UPPER2 parts, on the other hand, can be activated on
the left-hand side of the keyboard if you have activated the LOWER
part or are in ARRANGER mode, or on the whole keyboard in PIANO
mode.

SELECTING SOUNDS

The sounds of the PIANO are organised into SOUND FAMILIES. There
are 16 families in all, containing different categories of instruments.

Each family contains 8 SOUND PRESETS. Selecting a SOUND PRESET
is very easy. Press one of the SOUND FAMILY keys (PIANO, for example).
The display shows you the 8 presets available in this family. To select
one of these presets, simply press the corresponding function key
underneath the display. For example, select ClassicPiano (Key F2).

Then select another family and select one of the 8 presets available.
Each family retains the last preset selected in the memory.
If you now return to the PIANO family by pressing the relative key, you
will immediately hear the sound you selected earlier. This means that
you can choose your favourite sound in each family and recall it later
by pressing just one key.

currently activated.

HELP

The PIANO has a useful HELP function to guide you
around its software. Press this key (in the top right­hand corner of the display) in any screen to display
simple, immediate instructions with the page’s main
features and guidance on how to proceed. Pressing
the HELP key displays the help function for the video
page where you are operating.

And the function keys become bookmarks: in other words, you can
access any other Help page by just pressing the function key of the
topic you wish to display.

Press the HELP key again to return to the page for the Help function
shown.

DEMO

The DEMO button sets the instrument in
demonstration mode. Press the relative key to display
the following screen:

The LEDs of some style and sound families will start to flash. You can
now decide to play one of the DEMOs for the individual I-Motion sounds
by just pressing one of the sound family keys, or one of the orchestrated
DEMOs by pressing one of the style family keys.

Otherwise, press one of the function keys (F1…F8) to play the
presentation DEMO (Style & I-Motion Sound) and view a slide show
with the main characteristics of the PIANO.

If you now press START/STOP and play a chord in the left-hand part
of the keyboard, you will hear the automatic accompaniment start.
The name of the style you are using appears in the left of the display.
To select a different style, press one of the two keys in the MUSIC
STYLES section and choose one of the 8 titles displayed, using the
Function keys underneath the display.

The ARRANGER Section

The Galileo PIANO has 144 styles, divided into 16 families (+ 2 CUSTOM
families).

Each style is a complete 8-part instrumental arrangement, with drums,
bass and up to 6 additional instruments.
It consists of 4 variations, 3 fills, 1 Break, 2 intros and 2 endings.
The way in which the styles are used may vary depending on each
performer’s requirements. However, setting up the style section to meet
your needs is very easy thanks to the CHORD MODE and MODE
CONTROLS keys.
Let’s start from one of the most common setups for using the styles:
keyboard divided into two zones, left for chords and right for melody.
To obtain this setup, you have only to press the ACCOMP. ON and the
HOLD key in the CHORD MODE section.

Style Controls

We will now look at the controls available for using the styles section.

START/STOP

Used to start and stop the accompaniment (Styles).
Above the metronome icon, the display contains 4 round indicators
showing the tempo of the Style or Song you are playing. Before pressing
START/STOP you can book one of the INTRO, FILL or BREAK buttons
to create an introduction to the Style.

VARIATIONS

Each style consists of 4 variations that allow you to start your piece
with an accompaniment played by just a few instruments and gradually
add more to form a larger ensemble. To change the variations, press
the VARIATIONS A, B, C and D keys.

FILLS

To add musical ornaments and accents to the style, use the Fills keys.
Press the Stay key to add a rhythmic passage. The passage ends at
the start of the next bar.
The Back and Forward keys in this section are used to switch from
one variation to another. Instead of just pressing the VARIATION
A,B, C or D keys as you did before, press the Back or Forward keys,
which activate the FILL function and allow you to switch to another
variation of the style.

Galileo

Page 10

INTROS ED ENDINGS

Each style includes a choice of 2 intros (Short and Long) and 2 endings
(Short and Long).

Intro Short: a short musical intro (from two to four bars).
Intro Long: a long musical intro (can be up to 10 bars long).
Ending Short: a short musical ending (from two to four bars).
Ending Long: a long musical ending (can be up to 10 bars long).

The start and end of the song can be enhanced with a few bars of intro
and ending, respectively by activating the INTRO option (Short or
Long) with the arranger off, and the ENDING option (Short or Long)
by pressing the relative keys with the arranger on.

FADE (IN and OUT)

Otherwise, you have the option of the Fade IN and OUT modes, to
start and end the accompaniment with gradually increasing and
decreasing volume. You can set the number of bars (from 1 to 10) for
the duration of the FADE IN and the FADE OUT separately (SETUP
ARRANGER MENU).

If you press Forward you will hear a FILL after which the arranger
plays the next variation. If you press Back you will hear a FILL after
which the arranger moves back to the previous variation.

The Break key has two functions. If it is pressed on the 2nd or 3rd beat
of the bar, it simply activates a FILL to finish the bar; if it is activated
at the start of a bar, it plays a harmonised rhythmic passage, with not
only the drums but also all the tracks of the style.

ACCOMP. On/Off

This key switches the parts in the style arrangement on and off.
With this key off, you will only hear the style rhythm section.

One Fing.

Besides the automatic recognition function, the harmony can also be
set using a simply technique . This can be done using the One Fing.
(one finger) option, in which chords are recognised as follows:
the lowest note in the recognition zone is taken as the fundamental,
and the type of chord depends on the total number of keys pressed,
as stated in the table below.

another one.

Galileo

Page 12

If this key is off, you will only hear the arrangement as long as you
keep the keyboard keys pressed. As soon as you release the keys, the

arrangement will stop and only the rhythm section will be left.

Bass to Lowest

This function affects the way the bass part of the style behaves.
Normally, the system analyses the chord played by your left hand and
decides which note to assign to the bass on the basis of the chord
recognised, and thus regardless of the “inversion” you have used.
When the Bass to lowest function is on, the system always assigns the
note furthest to the left of the chords played to the bass, regardless of
whether or not it is the “fundamental” of the chord.
This function allows you to play pieces in which the lowest note of the
chord moves independently, as played by the musician, without
necessarily providing harmonic base functions.

Pianist

The Pianist mode is intended for musicians who have a purely pianistic
approach to the instrument; it automatically activates the Bass to lowest
function described above. The PIANO arranger recognises chords of up
to five notes pressed simultaneously, but while in the Split mode (Pianist
function off) the arranger is activated even with just one note pressed,
with the Pianist function active the system recognises chords from
three to five notes, so if you play fewer than three notes the chord will
not be recognised.
Every note played 8 semitones above the highest note of the recognised
chord is not interpreted as part of the chord, but is treated as a melody
note. On the other hand, every note played below the lowest note of
the recognised chord is interpreted as a bass note.

In this case the bass part of the accompaniment will play in this key
and not in the key set by the recognised chord.
What’s more, the arranger has a system capable of ensuring that a
bass note immediately corresponds to each chord played, so that chord
changes are always highlighted even if they are played quickly. This
function, combined with the Pianist mode, makes the arranger extremely
flexible.
Last but not least, in the SETUP ARRANGER SETTINGS menu you
can activate the Freeze Chord on pedal function, which allows you
to retain the last chord recognised in the memory by pressing the
damper pedal. This function allows even the most demanding musicians
to play with the accompaniment and freeze the harmony to improvise
without having to worry about an unintentional chord recognition
change.

SYNC

The Syncro key in the Mode Controls section is very useful if you wish
to start playing with both hands while simultaneously starting the
accompaniment.
If you press SYNCRO the arrangement starts as soon as you play a
chord on the left of the split. Once activated, the SYNCRO function
remains active and the style starts as soon as you play a chord on the
left. To stop the style press START/STOP. To restart, you have only to
play to the left of the split because the SYNCRO function is still active.
In the pianist mode it is possible to have the SYNCRO Function triggered
on the first note pressed or on the first chord recognized. This options
can be selected in the SETUP menu / ARRANGER SETTINGS.
You can also program the SYNCRO function to stop the arrangement
when the chord on the left is released.
To do this, switch off the HOLD key in the CHORD MODE section with
SYNCRO on.
You will now be able to control both the start and the stop of the
arrangement with your left hand.

Tempo Lock

Each style has its own pre-programmed tempo which is recalled
whenever you select the style. This guarantees that the style always
plays at the most appropriate speed, regardless of the tempo used by
the style selected before.
To shift from one style to another without changing the tempo, activate
the Tempo Lock function.

Press the TEMPO – and + keys together and T.LOCK will appear

One Touch

Selecting a style also recalls a combination of
recommended sounds (both active and available for
activation by the user with the Upper and Lower direct
keys) particularly suitable for use in the musical
context concerned. To play these sounds, press the
One Touch key.
If One Touch is active, whenever you select a style, the sounds
associated to the style’s variations are automatically selected. It is
important to remember this because sometimes you may need to switch
from one style to another without changing the sound setup you are
using. In this case it is important to make sure that One Touch is off
before selecting the new style or the new variation.

TRANSPOSER -/+

Applies a transposition (in semitones)

The TRANSPOSE -/+ buttons allow you to apply a general transposition
of ±12 semitones (12 semitones = 1 octave) to the whole instrument
instantaneously.

If you keep a button held down, the transposition changes continuously
until it reaches the maximum value (-12 or +12).

Sequencer Transposer

When you activate a transposition, you will see that the values on the
display change both against the keyboard icon and next to the sequencer
icon; this means that both devices are affected in the same way.

However, you may need to transpose only the keyboard or only the
sequencer, if you wish to play in a key different from that of the MIDI
file loaded earlier, or of the Song recorded directly on the instrument.
To do this, before transposing use the CURSOR keys to select the field
to which you wish to apply the transposition and then proceed.

Removing transposition quickly

To remove a transposition, press the TRANSPOSE ­and + buttons simultaneously.

The display will return to normal (0).
If we have applied different transpositions to the
sequencer and keyboard, the transposition will be
removed from both.

PANEL MEMORIES

As you play the Galileo PIANO you will come across a combination of
sounds and style suitable for a particular song you wish to perform, so
you will need to memorise it. This is the main purpose of the Panel
Memories section.

The keys used for the Memories are the SAVE key (for memorising)
and the A and B keys corresponding to the relative banks, each of
which is able to save 8 memories.
Using the memories is extremely easy. Let’s try this simple example.

1. Select a Music Style

2. Select a sound (if you wish, one for each section, Upper and Lower)

(Sound Families)

3. Press START/STOP to listen to the style

4. Use the ENCODER to regulate the style tempo

5. Make another simple adjustment (e.g., press the Pianist or Syncro

key to activate the relative function, etc.)

You have now created a customised setup it would normally take you
5 steps to re-create in the future. We will now save all this in Program
n.1 of Bank A.

This is how to do it:

1. Press the SAVE key

2. Press key F1 underneath the display, which corresponds to Program

n.1

Galileo

Page 18

Your settings have been saved!

Now try changing all the parameters: choose another style and another
preset, make more changes and save all the settings in Program n. 2
using the procedure just described.

To recall the settings made, just press key A to recall the memory
bank used, and then F1 to recall the first memory, or F2 for the second,
and so on.

THE EDIT MENU

SET-UP

Pressing the key provided on the panel accesses the Set-Up menu
(LED on) containing 8 options that can be selected using the Function
keys (F1…F8). We will take a look at them one by one.

You can now choose the new split point simply using the ENCODER
or by pressing the note on the keyboard to which you wish to assign
the split point.

FADE IN MODE: this
parameter sets the
number of bars (from 1
to 10) of the fade In
function activated using
the key provided on the
panel.
Use the CURSOR keys to
select the function and
the ENCODER to choose
the number of bars.

ARRANGER (F2)

This EDIT option contains 4 parameters. We will take a look at them
one by one:

FADE OUT MODE: this parameter sets the number of bars (from 1
to 10) of the fade Out function activated using the key provided on the
panel.

SPLIT (F1)

The display shows the
position of the split point
on the keyboard. Move
the ENCODER clockwise
or anticlockwise and you
will see the pointer
which shows the split
point move.

Set-Up

Page 20

FREEZE CHORD ON PEDAL: this function activates (ENABLED) and
deactivates (DISABLED) the freeze function, which allows you to retain
the last chord recognised in the memory by pressing the damper pedal.
Use the CURSOR keys to select the function and the ENCODER to
enable or disable the function.

NB: With the instrument in the default setup, this function is disabled.

PIANIST MODE SYNC START: this function allows you to choose the

start mode related to the SYNC key.
You have two alternatives:

1. ON SINGLE NOTE: The rhythmic accompaniment starts up when

the first note is depressed on the keyboard.

2. ON CHORD: The rhythmic accompaniment starts from the first

recognised chord in the display; because this function can only be
activated for pianist mode, the chord must have at least three no­tes to be recognised.

Use the CURSOR keys to select the function and the ENCODER to
choose the mode.

KEY TOUCH (F3)

This EDIT page allows you to set the dynamic sensitivity of the PIANO
keyboard.

Use the ENCODER to choose the most appropriate dynamic curve for
your needs, as follows.

MIDI (F4)

This EDIT page gives you access to the instrument’s MIDI SETTINGS,
enabling you to set the general MIDI settings and customise the
channelling. Let us look at how this is done.
The default setting is the STANDARD setting. In this condition, the
instrument sends and receives the MIDI messages on the channels
you can see assigned to each track on the display, both the parts
(UPPER 1, UPPER2 and LOWER) and the eight tracks of which the
accompaniment consists.
Turn the ENCODER to set the CURSOR on the (MIDI MODE) to display
the other modes in this section. The second MIDI Settings mode refers
to the EXPANDER.
In this mode, the MIDI messages can be sent and received on the
parts (UPPER 1, UPPER2 and LOWER) while the sequencer parts are
unaffected by the data transmission.
Proceeding, you will come to the LOCAL OFF mode. Setting the
instrument in this mode allows you to send and receive MIDI messages
on all the channels cutting out the internal sound generation system.

Set-Up

Page 22

The last mode is SEQUENCER. This allows you to chose the data
transmission mode on each sequencer MIDI channel (not including the
UPPER1/2 and LOWER parts). You have 4 options:

In each mode of this function, to change the channelling of the
instrument’s various tracks use the CURSOR keys to select the track
and the ENCODER to change the MIDI channel number.
If the MIDI channel is already in use by another track, the system will
assign the track to the first MIDI channel available.

For detailed information about the EDIT MIDI Settings screen modes,
refer to the MIDI section of this manual.

PEDALS (F5)

This EDIT page allows you to assign the various functions to the three
pedals of the PIANO. In the default condition, PIANO mode, the pedals
have the conventional piano functions: Sustain, Soft and Hold.

USB (F6)

In this EDIT page you can assign to the USB port either Mass Storage
functions of your choice for the various types of system, or MIDI
“handshake” functions.
Thanks to the USB "Mass-storage" protocol (embedded in you digital
piano) your computer will manage the Smart-media card as an External
removable Hard Drive, giving a lot of benefits in terms of "comfort of
use".
In the smartmedia card is not inserted the connection between piano
and computer will not be established.
Now let us take a detailed look at the options available and the type of

system to which they refer.

TUNING (F7)

This EDIT page contains two functions, TUNE and OCTAVE
TRANSPOSER

MASTER TUNE. This parameter allows you to regulate the instrument’s
overall tuning with values which range from –100 (A4=415.30Hz), to
+100(A4=466.16Hz).

The default value (0) corresponds to the standard tuning
(A4=440.00Hz).
Select the MASTER TUNE function with the CURSOR keys and turn the
ENCODER clockwise or anticlockwise to change the tuning.

OCTAVE TRANSPOSER. As the display shows, this parameter refers
to the Upper and Lower parts. The keyboard can be transposed up
one octave (OCTAVE UP) or down one octave (OCTAVE DOWN) for
each part, UPPER1/2 and LOWER, independently of each other.
In default setup the function is set as (NORMAL) for each part.
Select the part you wish to transpose with the CURSOR keys
and turn the ENCODER clockwise to transpose up one octave,
or anticlockwise to transpose down one octave. Once an octave
transposition has been set, the message OCT. DOWN or OCT.
UP will appear in the Box of the part (Upper1/2 or Lower) which
has been modified in the main video page (HOME key).

Set-Up

Page 26

OTHERS (F8)

This EDIT page contains parameters relating to the VIDEO and AUDIO
connections.

Let us start to examine these parameters one by one:

COLOURS SET:

Enables you to adjust the colour setting, by choosing one of the
options available, for display of the lyrics included in the MIDI files
on a remote television set. You have a choice of 4 different settings,
meaning 4 colour combinations. Use the CURSOR keys to select

the function and the ENCODER to choose one of these settings.

VIDEO

CENTER:
This parameter centres the image of the lyrics on the TV set.
Use the CURSOR keys to select the function and the ENCODER to
centre the lyrics.

BRIGHTNESS:
This parameter changes the luminosity, with a choice of two settings:
LOW / HIGH.
Use the CURSOR keys to select the function and the ENCODER to
change the setting.

NB: To view the effects of changes to these parameters connect the
Galileo PIANO to a TV set using the RGB/SCART lead.

Galileo

Page 27

AUDIO

This parameter modifies the Line input volume. The default setting
is = 0 (recommended when no devices are connected).
Use the CURSOR keys to select the function and the ENCODER to
change the setting.
If you connect a CD player or any other external player to the Line
inputs, make sure that you have started up the remote device
before increasing the input volume, then gradually start to increase
the volume to the required level.

LINE IN:

This is important to prevent peaks or distortion, to keep the complex
amplification system installed on the PIANO in good condition.

This parameter affects the microphone connection input
gain.
Before connecting the microphone to the PIANO make
sure that the analogue GAIN is at the minimum volume,
to prevent feedback.

There are two modes available:

MIC IN:

After connecting the microphone as described above, you can gradually
increase the analogue GAIN.
Once you have set the analogue GAIN to your requirements, you can
adjust the microphone volume in the MIXER page (the mic. default
volume is 16).

optimal simulation of the
way sound is diffused and
propagated in an enclosed
environment.

In detail, the setting parameters available are:

LEVEL:parameter which sets the reverb output level, with values from
0 to 127.

TIME:parameter which sets the reverb duration or depth, with values
from 0 to 8.

HI-DAMP: parameter which sets the filter on the reverb's high
frequencies, with values from 0 to 24. In this case 0 is equivalent to a
fully open filter; as the value gradually increases, the filter is closed.

SOUND SETTINGS (F2)
This function allows you to modify the values of the sends to the reverb
and modulation effects for each individual sound (Sound Preset).

Locate the CURSOR on the TIMBRE parameter and turn the ENCODER
to select the Preset for modification. As you turn the ENCODER you
will realise that the Presets marked with the (i-motion) symbol
activate two more modules: Modulation Type and Speed. In other
words, for these sounds you can choose the type of modulation, from
those offered, and the speed of the modulant, with values from 0 to

127.
For the MIDI General Presets these two fields are not activated, so the
modulation parameter always refers to the CHORUS effect.

Modulation Type

This section contains three classic modulation effects and a Delay,
more often called an echo.

Use the CURSOR keys to select the MOD. TYPE parameter and turn the
ENCODER to select the effect. To change the modulation SPEED
parameter, locate the CURSOR on the parameter and turn the ENCODER
to change the value, except for the ROTARY effect, which is modulated
as follows.

SELECTING THE SPEED OF THE ROTARY EFFECT

As already mentioned, the Rotary effect simulates the classical rotary
speaker system which became famous with the advent of the
electromagnetic organ.
This system had speakers which could be turned at two different speeds,
Slow or Fast.
On this instrument, the Rotary effect speeds are selected by activating
the Rotary Slw/Fst function on the Soft pedal (central pedal), as
described in the PEDALS section of this manual.

In this menu the boxes corresponding to function keys F7 and F8 are
activated and assume the following values:

F7 (RESTORE ): Restores the default setting.
F8 (STORE): Saves the changes.

NB: If you change sound or exit this function without pressing function

key F8, any changes made will be lost. If you wish to return the
sound to the default settings, even after changes have been saved,
simply press F7 RESTORE.

MICROPHONE AMBIENCE

This section contains ambience effects relating to the microphone.

EFFECT STATUS at the top of the screen indicates whether the effect is
enabled (ON) or disabled (OFF).
The display shows 4 parameters, TYPE, LEVEL, TIME and FEEDBACK,
the last only activated if the DELAY effects are selected.
Let us now examine these parameters one by one:

TYPE

this parameter is used to choose the type of reverb to be assigned to
the microphone. There are 8 ambiences available, 6 for REVERB and
2 for DELAY effects, as follows:

LEVEL

Parameter which sets the reverb output level, with values from 0 to

127.

TIME

parameter which sets the reverb duration or depth, with values from 0
to 8.

FEEDBACK

As already mentioned, this parameter is activated when the DELAY or
PANDELAY effect is chosen in the TYPE field.

DELAY - PANDELAY

REVERB

DELAY

ROOM 1 - ROOM 2 - ROOM 3 - HALL 1 - HALL 2 - PLATE

Page 50

In this case the TIME field assigns a value which indicates the repetition
speed between stages, while the value assigned to the FEEDBACK
indicates the total effect fade time.

Use the CURSOR keys to select the parameter and the ENCODER to
change the values.

MIC. P2 (F4)

MICROPHONE SHIFTER

This section refers to the pitch shifter effects which can be added to
the microphone.

The display shows 3 parameters, as follows: PRESET, SHIFT and BALANCE.

PRESET

You are offered a series of presets. When this parameter is set as
NO PRESET, you can create new setups using the SHIFT parameter.

SHIFT

this parameter indicates the shift (transposition) of the voice which
is added to your own voice, with values ranging from –12 to +12 (in
semitones).

BALANCE

This parameter balances the voice on the SHIFT effect, with values
ranging from 0 to 127. If the value 0 is selected, you will only hear the
SHIFT effect. As you gradually turn the ENCODER the value rises,
moving the balance to the voice alone without SHIFT. With a setting in
the middle of the range, 64, you will hear that the voice and SHIFT are
perfectly balanced.
Use the CURSOR keys to select the parameters and the ENCODER to
change the values.

EFFECT STATUS at the
top of the screen
indicates whether the
effect is enabled (ON) or
disabled (OFF).

SONG COMPOSER

Rec Play Stop

The Midi Sequencer is one of the features of many instruments equipped
with an arranger. It allows you to record what you play using the
instrument’s own internal sounds and styles. The recordings made
with the sequencer of the PIANO are saved as midi files.
The big advantage of recording a SONG is that you have a large number
of options open. If you make a mistake while you are recording, you
can go back and correct it.

How to Record a Song

Before starting to record a new song, prepare the instrument so that
everything is ready to record the song you have chosen, then select
the Style, the Sound and all the settings needed for the performance.

As soon as you are ready, press the
REC key.

At this point, if you have loaded a Song recorded on the PIANO into the
memory, the instrument accesses the record function to make changes
or add tracks to a Song already recorded. If you have loaded a midi file
into the memory, the system will ask whether you wish to delete the
midi file and access the record function, or to leave the midi file in the
memory and exit the function, in which case the display will switch to
the Monitor screen.
Once you have accessed the RECORD function the display will show
the following page:

The LEDs of the Track1, Track 2, Track 3, Track 4, Drm/Acmp and
Settings keys will shine red, and the Rec key will start to flash.

Galileo

Page 52

Each track corresponds to a part of the instrument, as follows:

Track1 = Upper1
Track2 = Upper1
Track3 = Lower
Track4 = Arranger/ Bass
Drm/Acmp = Arranger / Drum and accompaniment

Tracks 1, 2 and 3 are available for recording in soloist mode, while
tracks 4 and 5 are linked to the arranger. Track 4 (Bass) records the
bass of the arrangement, so you can only record this track if you are
using the Styles. This means that the bass track can be deactivated if
you wish to create customised bass melody lines using one of the
three tracks available.

You can now use the CURSOR keys to move the cursor into the various
Song setting fields.

In detail, the possible settings are:

LOCATOR 1/1 : this parameter indicates the position of the locator,
meaning the bar reached in the recording. At this point 1/1 will appear
because you are in the first bar of the song, since you have not yet
recorded anything.
SIGNATURE: This parameter allows you to choose the time signature
of the song you are about to record. Use the ENCODER to choose a
time signature other than the default setting, 4/4.
QUANTIZE: This parameter allows you to activate a priori quantisation
of the recording. By default, the value is set as OFF; use the ENCODER
to choose the quantisation value, which is from 1/2 to 1/96. The
quantize function can only be applied on the Upper1/2 and Lower
parts (Trck1/2/3), since the Track4 (Bass) and Drm/Acmp. parts are
assigned to the Styles.
TEMPO: To choose the recording tempo, locate the cursor on the
TEMPO field and turn the ENCODER.
PRECOUNT: Activates (On) and deactivates (OFF) the precount bar
before the recording starts.
CLICK: Activates (On) and deactivates (OFF) the metronome click
during recording.

Rec Play Stop

Once you have made the general settings, to start recording just press
the Rec key.
As soon as you have finished your performance press the Stop key.
The LED of the track you have recorded turns blue, while the tracks
which are empty or have not yet recorded any events will still be red,
so the first time the STOP key is pressed during recording, the
sequencer switches to pause status.

Press Stop again if you wish to end the recording. The display will
return to the monitor screen. To continue recording, press the Rec
key.
If you have finished recording a track (e.g. Track1) you can start
recording again by choosing an empty track (e.g. Track2) and so on.
If you press the key of the Track where you have recorded (blue LED)
twice, you will see the LED go out. This means that the track is in Mute
status, so it will not be played while you are recording another track.

Merge Record

You can also add notes to a recorded track using the “merge” mode.
To record in merge mode, press the key corresponding to the track
already recorded (blue LED) and the LED will change colour (blue+red).
Use the locator to choose the bar from which you intend to add notes,
and continue recording as before.

The merge mode cannot be used for the tracks assigned to the arranger
(Track4 e Drm/Acmp.).

F4 (PARAMETERS)

Pressing F4 displays the following screen.

It contains the song playback setting functions.

SONG USER SETTINGS

This function allows you to set the way the instrument will behave in
case of .TXT files (SMF parameters) created by the PIANO after a
saving procedure. These parameters can be set as:

MODE = FILE-HOLD: If there is no .TXT file present the status of the
MIDI SONG SETTINGS will remain unchanged.

MODE = FILE-RESET: If there is no . TXT file all the MIDI SONG
SETTINGS functions will be deactivated (Seq.Transpose=0 and all track
play).

MODE = HOLD:The status of the MIDI SONG SETTINGS will remain
unchanged even if there is a .TXT file present.

MODE = RESET: All the MIDI SONG SETTINGS function will remain
deactivated even if there is a .TXT file present.

START MODE

This option contains the parameters for setting the list playback mode
and whether or not the song header skip function is activated.

MODE: sets the playback mode for songs loaded by means of a list.
If SINGLE is selected, after a Song is loaded the system waits for you
to
press the [PLAY] button to play the new song.
If CONTINUE is selected, the Song loaded will be played automatically.

LOOP: Specifies whether, once it comes to the last song in a list, the
system has to stop the playback or start again from the first Song.
Select YES to play the list again.
Select NO to end playback at the end of the list.

HEADER SKIP: specifies whether skipping of the MIDI data before the
first note event or the first syllable of the lyrics is activated (by selecting
YES) or not. This function offers the considerable advantage that the
sound generation setup messages can be loaded at very high speed
without having to wait for the system to read the initial "empty" bars
before starting to play.
