We greatly appreciate your purchase of the MPS2000 Silencer System Piano. The MPS2000 allows

you to enjoy your new piano any time you want without disturbing others. With the center pedal in the

Normal position, your MPS2000 functions as a quality upright acoustic piano with the added benefit of

audio and MIDI output signals. With the mute lever in the Mute position, the piano’s acoustic sound is

silenced and headphones can be used to hear the audio signal privately.

Before playing your new MPS2000 piano, we suggest reading this user’s guide thoroughly to become

acquainted with its capabilities and functions.

Occasionally you may want to calibrate the key sensors in your MPS2000 Silencer System Piano for
accurate response when in silent mode. A good time to do this when it is new and after the acoustic
parts (hammers and strings) have been tuned. Use the following procedure to calibrate the sensors.

How to Initialize

󳢯The keyboard cable and AC power adapter should be plugged into the MPS2000 control unit and

the power should be OFF.

󳢯The mute lever should be in the Mute position.
󳢯Make sure that nothing is sitting on the keyboard that might press a key down.

Preparing for Calibration

󳢯 While holding the [

PROGRAM

] button down, turn the MPS2000 on.

󳢯 After 3 seconds, release the [

PROGRAM

] button.

󳢯 In few seconds, the display should be as below.

󳢯 Press each of the 88 keys, one at a time, all the way down with medium force and speed. (not too

fast)

󳢯 After you have finished pressing all of the keys, press the [

PROGRAM

] button again to finish the

calibration.

󳢯 When the data is successfully stored, the display will change as shown and the piano is ready to play

again.

It will take a few seconds for the data to be stored in permanent memory.

The calibration procedure on the previous page should make all of the keys equally sensitive. If you find
that some keys still play too loudly or softly, use the following procedure to adjust the sensitivity of
individual keys

How to adjust the keyboard sensitivity individually

󳢯 Make sure the MPS2000 is off.

󳢯 While holding the [

RECORD

] button down, turn MPS2000 the on.

󳢯 After 3 seconds, release the [

RECORD

] button. The display should be as below.

󳢯 While wearing headphones to monitor the sound, play each key and listen to the volume of the

sound, If the sensitivity needs to be adjusted, use either [◀]

DATA

or

DATA

[▶] button to adjust the

sound volume for the key last played down or up so that it matches the other keys.

The display shows the current key's sensitivity value from 000 to 255.

When moving to a different key, the last displayed value for the previous key is remembered.

MPS2000

26

󳢯 When all keys requiring adjustment have been done, press the [RECORD] button again to end key

adjustment.

󳢯 When the adjustment data is successfully stored, the display will change as shown and the piano is

ready to play again.

It will take a few seconds for the adjustment data to be stored in permanent memory.

You may also connect an external audio source, such as a CD player, to the audio inputs of the
MPS2000. Using two audio cables, connect the Aux or Line output of your source to the Left and Right
Audio inputs of the MPS2000. The sound in the MPS2000 headphones will now be a mixture of the
piano sound and the external source sound. Use the volume control on the external source to adjust
the external sound volume.

Use two audio cables to connect the Left and Right Audio outputs of the MPS2000 to inputs of your
audio system. The signal is "unbalanced, line level". See the diagram below which is representative of
a club or performance hall audio system.

Connect your MPS2000 to external Audio Equipment

In order to send MIDI data to a General MIDI synthesizer or computer, connect a MIDI cable between
the MIDI Out port of the MPS2000 and the MIDI In port of your synthesizer or computer. See the
diagram below.

Note:

1. Most computers do not have a MIDI interface built-in. You may need to add a MIDI interface to your
computer before you can connect it to your MPS2000 .
In order to receive MIDI data from a General MIDI keyboard synthesizer or computer, connect a
MIDI cable between the MIDI Out port of the external device and the MIDI In port of the MPS2000 .
See the diagram below.

󳢯 You can connect MIDI In and Out cables at the same time. If connecting to a computer, be sure to

turn "Patch Through" off in your software to avoid "double notes".

󳢯 Although only Piano and Church Organ sounds are available from the MPS2000 keyboard, several

additional sounds are available when connected to an external MIDI source.
