1. SELECTING A TOUCH TYPE

Your piano lets you select from four different “Touch” types as follows:

NORMAL: The standard setting which produces volume in direct proportion to your force on

the keys. This setting is the most similar to an acoustic piano. The piano automatically
selects this Touch Type when the power is turned on.

LIGHT: For those still developing finger strength, such as a child, a louder sound is produced

even when the piano is played with a soft touch.
HEAVY: Perfect for those with strong fingers or for practicing with a hard touch.
CONSTANT: For tone colors like organ or harpsichord, and for playing some contemporary music

with the piano sound, a constant loud sound is produced regardless of your force on

the keys.

– 14 –

(1) To select the “LIGHT”, “CONSTANT” or “HEAVY” Touch Type, press one of the following
keys on the keyboard while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons.
Any C key: Selects the “LIGHT” Touch Type
Any D key: Selects the “HEAVY” Touch Type
Any E key: Selects the “CONSTANT” Touch Type

(2) Release both hands after selecting the Touch Type to exit the programming mode.
When the TOUCH LED is off, the “NORMAL” Touch Type is automatically selected. When an
alternative touch type is selected using the above procedure, the TOUCH LED will light. The
TOUCH button is a toggle switch. Pressing the button turns on the LED. Pressing it a second time
turns off the LED.

2. TUNING

This function allows you to adjust the piano’s pitch to match recordings or other instruments in an
ensemble.

(1) To lower the pitch press any C-sharp key while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE
buttons. To raise the pitch press any E-flat key while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE
buttons.

(2) Release the both hands after finding the desired pitch.
The range of tuning is +/-50 cents (100 cents = a half tone). Each press of the key will change the
tuning 1.56 cents. Press the key repeatedly until you arrive at the desired pitch.

3. MIDI CHANNEL SELECT

In order to exchange MIDI information with another MIDI instrument, you must first set the two
connected instruments to the same channel.

(1) If you press any A key while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, the MIDI
channel will increase by one each time you press the key. MIDI channel will progress from 1 to 16.
If you press any G key, the channel will be set to 1 regardless of what channel is currently selected.
And, if you press any F key while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, the MIDI
channel will decrease by 1 each time you press the key.

(2) Release the both hands after selecting the channel.
When the power is first turned on, the piano always selects channel 1.

– 15 –

4. TRANSMIT MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE ON/OFF

You can use 7 tone buttons to transmit Program Change Numbers via MIDI. Please refer to the list
below for assignment of tone and program number.

TONE NAME PRG # PRG # (When Multi-Timbral mode is ON)

CLASSIC GRAND 1 1
MODERN PIANO 2 2
E.PIANO 3 5
CHURCH ORGAN 4 20
HARPSICHORD 5 7
VIBRAPHONE 6 12
STRINGS 7 49

(1) If you press any B-flat key while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, this
function is set to “off” and the piano does not transmit the program change data corresponding to
the tone selected on the panel. If you press the B-flat key again while holding down the TOUCH
and TRANSPOSE buttons, this function returns to “on” and selecting a tone will transmit the data.

(2) Release both hands after selecting either “on” or “off” for transmit MIDI program change.
When the power is first turned on, the TRANSMIT MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE function is always
“on”.

5. TURNING MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE ON/OFF

Normally, the procedure described in the MIDI CHANNEL SELECT section is used to transmit or
receive data on only one MIDI channel (any one of 1 through 16). But by turning the MULTI
TIMBRAL function “on”, you can receive data on more than one MIDI channel and simultaneously
play a different sound on each channel. With this feature, you can use a sequencer such as the Q­80EXE or sequencing software on a personal computer to create performances with a variety of
timbres on the piano. The term “Multi Timbral” is derived from the ability to play multiple timbres
simultaneously.

NOTE:

You can assign any tone of the piano to any channel in the way you like by sending the correct
Program Change Number to the piano from an external MIDI device. Please refer to the list above
for assignment of tone and program number.

(1) If you press any A-flat key while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, the
MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE will be set to “on”. If you press any A-flat key again while holding
down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, the MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE returns to “off”.

(2) Release both hands after selecting the desired setting.
When power is first turned on, the MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE setting is always off.

– 16 –

6. MIDI LOCAL CONTROL ON/OFF

This function is used to control whether or not the sound from the piano will be heard when you
play the keyboard. When MIDI LOCAL CONTROL is set to on you will hear the piano when you
play. When MIDI LOCAL CONTROL is set to off you will not hear any sound from the piano
when you play but the piano's keyboard data will be transmitted through the MIDI jacks to an
external MIDI device.

(1) If you press any F-sharp key while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, the
MIDI LOCAL CONTROL will be set to “off”. If you press again any F-sharp key while holding
down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, the MIDI LOCAL CONTROL returns to “on”.

(2) Release both hands after selecting the desired setting.

7. RESET

When the RESET procedure is used, most of the piano’s original factory settings (the same setting
as when you turn on the instrument) will be restored.
The original factory settings restored with this function are:

– MIDI Transmit Channel 1
– Transmit MIDI Program Change On
– Multi-timbral Mode Off
– MIDI Local Control On
– Tuning +/-0
– Touch Type (When the TOUCH LED is on) LIGHT

MIDI

The term MIDI is an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an international standard
for connecting synthesizers, sequencers (digital recorders) and other electronic instruments so that
they can exchange performance data.
The DP100 is equipped with two MIDI jacks for exchanging data: MIDI IN and MIDI OUT. Each
uses a special cable with a DIN connector.

MIDI IN : For receiving note, program change and other data.
MIDI OUT : For sending note, program change and other data.

MIDI EXAMPLES

(1) Connection to another MIDI compatible keyboard or sound generator module

When connected as shown in the illustration, data on how the digital piano is played (which keys
are struck) can be sent to another MIDI instrument. Plus, the sound from the DP100 can be layered
over the sound of the other instrument.
