2. Basic Operations

2.1 Getting Ready

Since the MP4 has no built-in speakers, you will need to connect a mixer, keyboard amplifier or headphones in order to listen.

Turn the MP4 on, using the POWER SWITCH on the rear panel. It is recommended to turn the MP4 on before turning on any amplifiers in order to avoid switching noise.

What you need to know before starting:

Please read this part for a better understanding of the MP4 structure.

Basically there is no difference between SOUND and SETUP mode. The main difference is that SETUP is used to recall your stored SETUPs. You can edit and make changes in both modes freely. The same parameters are available in both modes. If you edit in SOUND mode, your settings get lost, after power off, if you don’t store them as SETUP! If you want to start from scratch use the SOUND mode and press PIANO ONLY first. If you want to modify a SETUP just select it and start editing and store later it as SETUP.

2.2 Selecting a Sound

If you notice when you select a sound that it sounds strange it’s probably because some of the parameters like knobs etc. were edited. To get back to the default settings for any sound simply use the PIANO ONLY function and reselect the sound.

The MP4 always starts up in SOUND mode when the power is turned ON. The SOUND button will be lit to indicate SOUND mode is active.

The Sounds are organized in 8 categories with 8 sounds each (total 64 sounds). To select a sound press any of the SOUND SELECT buttons in the upper row to choose a sound category.

Use any of the SOUND SELECT buttons in the lower row to select one of the internal sounds out of the selected category.

The display shows the currently selected sound name.

1 Concert Grand

Page 13

Note:

Internal sounds or Setups can be also selected using the VALUE buttons.

You should also listen to the preprogrammed Setups. Setups are organized in 8 Banks with 8 Numbers each (total 64 Setups). Press the SETUP button to change to SETUP mode and select a Setup by pressing one of the Bank buttons in the upper row followed by a Number button in the lower row. The display shows the currently selected Setup name.

In Sound mode, the “1” in the display indicates that the zone 1 is currently selected. The default settings of the zones are as follows.

Zone 1 Internal On (Plays internal sound) Zone 2 Internal Off (Muted) Zone 3 External On (Plays external device) The default TX channel is 1. Zone 4 External Off (Muted)

The zone mode for each zone is indicated by the INT/EXT LED beside the faders. The zone status for each zone is indicated by the ZONE ON/OFF buttons. If the ZONE buttons is red, this zone is assigned to the entire keyrange of the MP4. If the button is green, the key range for that zone is less than the entire key range. You can check the key range setting by holding the SELECT button for the zone for 1 second.

2.3 Layer

2.4 Split

Let’s try layering another sound. Turn the zone 2 on by pressing the ZONE ON/OFF button for zone 2. The ZONE SELECT button for zone 2 is automatically selected and the display shows the sound name for zone 2.

Select the sound for zone 2 with the SOUND SELECT buttons as shown in the previous section.

2 String Pad

Adjust the volume balance of zone 1 and 2 with the faders for each zone.

Now let’s split the keyboard and play different sounds in upper and lower sections.

Press and hold the ZONE SELECT button for zone 1. The display shows the key range for zone 1 as follows.

1Key IC-2 >G8

RangeEC-2 >G8

While still holding down the ZONE SELECT button for zone 1, press the lowest note on the keyboard. The display changes as follows.

1KeyRange(Both)

=IA-1 > ----

Page 14

While still holding down the ZONE SELECT button for zone 1, select the highest note for zone 1, for example, B2 by pressing B2 key on the keyboard.

1KeyRange(Both)

=IA-1 > B2

Repeat the same procedure for zone 2 while holding down the ZONE SELECT button for zone 2 and set the key range from C3 to C7.

2KeyRange(Both)

=IC3 > C7

Now the keyboard is split as follows.

2.5 Piano Only

2.6 Metronome

ZONE 1

B2 C3

Note: In this method, the key ranges for internal and external zones always change together. If you want individual settings, use the Key Range Hi/ Lo parameter in MENU (see page 31).

The Piano Only function lets you quickly return the MP4 sounds to the default settings.

Press the PIANO button and the SOUND SELECT button 1 simultaneously. All the current settings (except for SYSTEM settings) will go back to original and only Concert Grand sound can be played on the whole keyboard.

Note:

You may use this function also as a kind of Panic or Reset button. Also it is a good starting point to create Setups from scratch.

A metronome is available on the MP4.

ZONE 2

Press the STORE and SYSTEM buttons simulataneously to start the metronome.

Press the STORE or SYSTEM button to stop the metronome.

Changing the Tempo/Volume

The display will show as follows.

METRONOME VOL= 5 =120

Use the VALUE buttons to change the tempo.

2.7 Transpose

Use the MENU buttons to change the volume.

Note: The metronome tempo is also used as MIDI clock tempo to control an external sequencer. See page 20 for details.

When the Transpose function is “ON” the MP4’s key can be raised or lowered in half steps. The available range of transposition is 24 semitones, either up or down.

While holding down the TRANSPOSE button, press any key on the MP4 keyboard to select a new transposed key. Pressing the F key above middle C for example will transpose the MP4 UP to the key of F (+5 half steps).

The transpose amount can also be set using the VALUE buttons. While holding the TRANSPOSE button down, press the VALUE buttons to change the transpose amount. The display shows the current TRANSPOSE amount when the TRANSPOSE button is held down. A value of “0” indicates no transposition.

2.8 Using the MP4 as a MIDI controller

The MP4 can control external devices via MIDI.

MIDI Connection

Connect the MIDI OUT on the MP4 to the MIDI IN on an external MIDI device with a MIDI cable.

Selecting the MIDI Channel

The MIDI Transmit Channel of the MP4 must be matched with the Receive Channel of any MIDI devices connected to the MP4.

Select zone 3 by pressing the ZONE SELECT button 3. (Zone 3 is set to external as default setting.)

Press the MENU-UP button until “TX Channel” (Transmit Channel) appears on the display.

4. EFX/REVERB

The internal sounds of the MP4 can be enhanced using the built in REVERB and EFX generators. There are 7 REVERB types and 20 different EFX types to choose from.

4.1 EFX

The MP4 contains 20 high quality EFX types, designed to complement the internal sounds.

Each internal sound has a preset effect assigned as the default. The EFX button turns the EFX generator ON or OFF for the selected sound.

To turn the EFX “ON” for the current sound, press the EFX button and the button will light up. EFX will be added to the current sound.

To turn the EFX “OFF” again, press the EFX button again (The light on the button will be turned OFF).

EFX type

Press and hold the EFX button until the display shows EFX Type.

EFX TYPE 15: Rotary 1

Use the VALUE buttons to change the effect type. Each EFX type has a default value for RATE and DEPTH, so when changing the EFX type, the values are changed automatically. You can edit these values with the EFX RATE and EFX DEPTH knobs in the first row of the CONTROL KNOBS section on the panel.

Chorus: Chorus is a slight detuning of the sound, which adds depth

and richness to the sound.

Flanger: Flanger introduces a shifting comb-filter, which adds motion

and a “hollow” tone to the sound.

Celeste: Celeste is a three phase chorus, with each of the three chorus

units at different phase.

Ensemble: Ensemble is a three phase chorus, with each of the three

chorus units at a different phase and frequency. This gives a

slightly richer sound than the Celeste effect, below.

Delay 1/2/3/4: Delay adds echoes to the sound.

AutoPan 1/2: AutoPan alternates the sound left and right across the stereo

field at a variable rate.

Tremolo 1/2: Tremolo changes the volume of the sound, making it louder

and softer at a variable rate.

Phaser 1/2: Phaser creates a cyclic phase change, adding motion to the

sound.

Rotary 1/2: The Rotary effect simulates the sound of the rotary speaker

cabinet commonly used with electronic organs. Rotary 2

include an overdrive effect.

Page 22

4.2 REVERB

Auto Wah: Auto Wah creates an automatic filter sweep at the attack of

each note.

Pedal Wah: Pedal Wah creates a filter sweep with the expression pedal

connected to the MP4.

Enhancer: Enhancer produces a crisper tone, so the sound is more easily

discernible.

Overdrive: Overdrive effect adds tube-amp style distortion.

Note: EFX type is common to all internal zones. You can not select different types for each zone. But you can individually turn on/off the EFX for each zone.

The MP4 contains 7 high quality REVERB types, designed to complement the internal sounds.

Each internal sound has a preset REVERB type assigned as the default. The REVERB button turns the REVERB generator ON or OFF for the selected sound.

To turn the REVERB “ON” for the current sound, press the REVERB button and the button will light up. REVERB will be added to the current sound.

REVERB type

To turn the REVERB “OFF” again, press the REVERB button again (The light on the button will be turned OFF).

Press and hold the REVERB button until the display shows REVERB Type.

REVERB TYPE 1: Hall 1

Use the VALUE buttons to change the REVERB type. Each REVERB type has a default value for TIME, so when changing the REVERB type, the value is changed automatically.

Hall 1: Simulates the reverb in a standard hall

Hall 2: Simulates the reverb in a small hall

Stage 1: Simulates the reverb on a standard stage

Stage 2: Simulates the reverb on a small stage

Room 1: Simulates the reverb in a standard room

Room 2: Simulates the reverb in a small room

Plate: Simulates the reverb of a metallic plate

Note: REVERB type is common to all internal zones. You can not select different type for each zone. But you can individually turn on/off or set different depth for each zone.

Note: When EFX/REVERB depth is set to 0 while the EFX/REVERB button is active, the EFX/REVERB button will blink to indicate that the EFX/ REVERB is turned ON but the depth is set to 0.

EFX rate and REVERB time are effective to internal zone only.

5.2 EQ (EQUALIZER)

EFX type, EFX rate and EFX depth are common to all internal zones.

If the selected zone is set to BOTH, changing the value for EFX depth or REVERB depth affects for both internal and external sections. If you want different settings for internal and external sections, first enter the edit mode by pressing the MENU button and press the EFFECT button. Now you can select internal or external zone with ZONE SELECT button. (See page 29 for details.)

The MP4 contains a four-band graphic equalizer to shape the overall tone of the sound. The EQ affects all zones at the same time. However, each SETUP

can have its own EQ setting that affects the internal sounds only.

Be sure that the EQ button in the CONTROL KNOBS section is lit. If the EQ button is turned off, press it to turn it ON.

The CONTROL KNOBS are now active and assigned to the EQ parameters. Use the CONTROL KNOBS to change the current settings. Each parameter of the EQ has an adjustable range from -12 to +12. A positive (+) value indicates amplification, or a boost of that frequency range. A negative (-) value indicates attenuation, or a cut of that frequency range.

5.3 TONE MODIFY

Lo Mlo Mhi Hi +3 -2 +1 +2

The MP4 allows certain characteristics of the sounds to be custom tailored to suit a particular musical or playing style, or to create many variations and

Page 25

different types of sounds. TONE MODIFY settings can be done for each

zone individually.

The following parameters are provided:

CUTOFF, ATTACK, DECAY and RELEASE.

Make sure that the TONE MODIFY button in the CONTROL KNOBS section is lit. If the TONE MODIFY button is turned off, press it to turn it ON.

The CONTROL KNOBS are now active and assigned to the Tone Modify parameters for the current sound. Use the CONTROL KNOBS to change the current settings for the selected

zone.

Each parameter of the TONE MODIFY function has an adjustable range from -50 to +50.

1CUT ATK DCY RLS

+50 -20 +40 +10

CUTOFF: Raising the CUTOFF level makes the sound brighter, lowering

the level makes the sound duller.

ATTACK: As the value increases, the attack time becomes longer, which

means a slower attack is produced.

DECAY: This parameter controls the amount of time from the peak

level to the sustain level of the sound.

RELEASE: This parameter controls the amount of time needed for the

sound to fade out after the key is released.

The MENU buttons allow access to the edit parameters in the MP4. This

collection of settings together with other editable parameters can be stored as a SETUP. The MP4 provides 64 SETUPs, and all are user programmable.

A SETUP consists of four zones. Each zone can be set as Internal, External or Both individually. Inside each of the four zones, a multitude of features and effects can be programmed and combined together into one exciting SETUP. A total of 64 SETUPs may be programmed in this way.

The menu consists of Internal parameters, External parameters and Common parameters. Common parameter affects to all zones. If a zone is set as Both, both the Internal parameters and External parameters are available for the zone. Use the MENU buttons to scroll through all the different parameters.

6.1 Editing Procedure and Parameters

First, press the ZONE SELECT button for the zone to be edited. Next, press the MENU buttons until the parameter you want to edit appears in the DISPLAY. When a zone is set as Both, pressing the ZONE SELECT button again will switch the menu list from Internal to External or vice versa.

Set the value of the parameter using the VALUE buttons. Since each parameter has a different value range, consult the following pages for the details. Repeat this procedure for any other parameters in any of the zones that need to be modified.

Save these settings using the STORE button. (See p.38 for detail)

Note:

Once you enter the edit mode from SETUP mode by pressing MENU

button, the mode automatically changes to SOUND mode and the SOUND

SELECT buttons are used to select sounds, not SETUPs.

You can exit the edit mode by pressing both MENU buttons

simultaneously. Any edits you have made so far will be retained until

another SETUP is recalled. If you exit the edit mode by pressing SOUND

or SETUP buttons, your changes will be lost and the previously saved

settings are recalled.

6.2 Edit Parameters

Parameter Value

6.2.1 Zone Mode

2 Concert Grand Zone Mode = Int

6.2.2 Sound (Int only)

1Internal Sound = Concert Grand

6.2.3 Voicing (Int Piano only)

Zone parameters can be edited individually for each zone. There are two

parameter groups, Internal parameter group and External parameter group. If a zone is set to Int, only Internal parameters are available for editing. If a zone is set to Ext, only External parameters are available for editing. If a zone is set to Both, both Internal and External parameters are available for editing.

This parameter sets the Zone mode. The example shows that the Zone 2 is set to Internal.

This parameter determines which internal sound is assigned for the selected zone.

1 Concert Grand Voicing= Normal

This parameter re-creates electronically the voicing technique of adjusting the action, hammers and strings on an acoustic piano to change the tone character. This function is a very powerful way to enhance and customize

Page 30

6.2.4 Pedal Effect (Int Piano only)

1 Concert Grand PedalEffect= 1

the piano response for each player and each sound.

The effect is only available for the internal piano sounds. Other sounds cannot use this parameter.

Normal: Produces the normal tone of an acoustic piano throughout the entire

dynamic range.

Mellow: Reproduces the effect of a softer hammer surface. It produces a

mellower tone throughout the entire dynamic range.

Dynamic: This setting is not possible with an acoustic piano. Softly played

notes will have the tone of a mellow voicing and notes played harder

will have the tone of a bright voicing. This setting produces a

dramatic change from mellow to bright throughout the entire

dynamic range.

Bright: Produces a brighter tone throughout the entire dynamic range.

When the sustain pedal is depressed on an acoustic piano, all the dampers are lifted up allowing the strings to vibrate freely. When you play a note or chord on the piano with the sustain pedal depressed not only will the strings for the notes you played vibrate but other strings will vibrate in sympathetic resonance. The Damper Effect function simulates this phenomenon.

The value changes from 0 to 2. 0=Off 1=Normal 2=Strong. When a PIANO sound is not selected, this page won’t be displayed.

6.2.5 TX Ch (Ext only)

3External TX Channel = 1

6.2.6 TX Prg # (Ext only)

3External TX Prg # = On

6.2.7 Prg # (Ext only)

3External Prg # = 001

This parameter sets the MIDI transmit channel for the selected zone. All MIDI data for the selected zone will be transmitted on this channel. Make sure that the receiving channel for any external MIDI devices to be controlled from this zone is set to the same channel as the zone.

This parameter determines if a Program Change Number will be transmitted (On) or not (Off) when a SETUP is recalled. If you want to switch sounds

on external MIDI devices every time you call the Setup turn this parameter ON.

This parameter determines which Program Change Number will be transmitted when a SETUP is recalled. When the TX Prg # is set to Off, this page won’t be displayed. Select the desired PRG number for the sound you

want to select on the external MIDI device.

6.2.11 Velocity Switch

1 Concert Grand Vel SW =Loud

Volume

Level

Velocity switching is an extremely useful and creative tool for customizing a performance. Using Velocity Switching, it is possible to have either one sound switch to another sound at a set velocity, or even for a second sound to be added in once a certain velocity has been reached, or to have a sound drop out above or below a set velocity level. This parameter sets the velocity switch type.

Off : No effect. The sound plays normally.

Loud : The selected sound plays only when the key is struck harder than the

Vel SW Val. (See next parameter)

Soft : The selected sound plays only when the key is struck softer than the

Vel SW Val. (See next parameter)

This parameter determines switching level of the key velocity.

For the Loud Vel SW : determines the lowest key velocity to sound.

For the Soft Vel SW : determines the highest key velocity to sound.

Note:

Each zone can have a separate Velocity Switch Value. By setting the

Soft Zone Velocity Switch Value higher than that of the Loud Zone, a

dynamic area where both sounds play can be created. It is also possible

to switch Internal Zones with External Zones for even more possibilities.

This parameter adjusts the keyboard response. When the value is 10 (default), the keyboard response is normal (same as the setting in the SYSTEM). When the value comes closer to 0, the keyboard response becomes less dynamic and at 0, it becomes completely flat (no touch response).

1 Concert Grand Zone Trans.= 0

6.2.16 Transmitting Volume (Ext only)

3External TX Volume = On

This parameter sets the velocity value used, when Velocity Compression is lower than 10. For example to get a “No-Velocity” Organ type of playing feeling, set Velocity Compression to 0 and adjust the velocity level with this parameter to 100 or any other wanted level of velocity. If Velocity Compression is set to 10,

Velocity Offset has no effect.

This parameter sets the amount of transposition for the selected zone. The available range is three octaves up or down (+/-36 semitones).

Note:

To set the master transpose, press the TRANSPOSE button and set the

value.

This parameter determines if an initial MIDI Volume message will be transmitted (On) to an external MIDI device or not (Off) when a SETUP is recalled.

Note:

In a zone set to External or Both, moving the faders will still transmit

volume messages even if TX Volume is set to Off.

This parameter sets the volume level for the selected zone. The value can be changed by using the FADER or VALUE buttons. For External zones, when the TX Volume is “Off”, this page won’t be displayed.

This parameter determines if the Pan/Fine Tune/Control Knob settings will be transmitted (On) via MIDI or not (Off) when a SETUP is recalled.

Note:

In a zone set to External or Both, moving the Control Knobs will still

transmit the values even if TX CC is set to Off.

Int: This sets the pan-pot (right and left balance). Ext: This sets the pan-pot value that will be transmitted to external sound

modules. If the TX CC is “On”, the value is transmitted when a SETUP is recalled. When the TX CC is “Off”, this page won’t be displayed.

The value changes from L63 to R63.

6.2.20 Fine Tune

1 Concert Grand Fine Tune = 0

6.2.21 Damper

1 Concert Grand Damper = On

6.2.22 Foot Switch

1 Concert Grand Foot SW = On

Int: This is a fine tuning function for values smaller than a semi-tone. Ext: This is used to transmit fine tuning settings to external sound modules.

If the TX CC is “On”, the value is transmitted when a SETUP is recalled. When the TX CC is “Off”, this page won’t be displayed.

The value changes from -63 to +63.

This parameter determines if the damper pedal is active (On, with natural decay), deactivated (Off) or set to HOLD (On, with steady sustain level) for the selected zone. Use the HOLD value, if you don’t want a sound to disappear. HOLD is only available for internal Sounds.

This parameter determines if a Foot Switch connected to the FSW jack is active (On) or not (Off) for the selected zone. The type of controller assigned

to the footswitch is a common Setup parameter and is used for all zones of a Setup as a global parameter.

6.2.23 Expression Pedal

6.2.27 Bender Range

1 Concert Grand Bendr Rng = 2

6.2.28 Solo

1 Concert Grand Solo = On

6.2.29 Solo Mode

1 Concert Grand Solo Mode =Last

Int: This sets the Bender Range in semitone steps. The value changes

from 0 to 7.

Ext: This is used to transmit Bender Range information to external sound

modules. If the Tx Bender Range is “On”, the value is transmitted when a SETUP is recalled. The value changes from 0 to 12.

When the Bender is “Off”, this page won’t be displayed.

This parameter turns the Solo Mode On/Off. When Solo is turned “On” only one note will be heard for the selected zone even if more than one note is being played simultaneously. This can be used to effectively simulate the performance characteristics of a monophonic synthesizer or as a special performance tool for playing solo parts. Solo mode can also be used while playing a polyphonic part from another zone.

This parameter determines which note will be played when Solo is ON and more than one note is being played simultaneously. There are three choices for Solo note priority.

Last: The most recently played note within a group of notes will be heard

Hi: The highest note played within a group of notes will be heard when

Low: The lowest note played within a group of notes will be heard when

When the Solo is “Off”, this page won’t be displayed.

6.3 Common Parameters

Common parameters are affecting all zones.

6.3.1 Stretch Tuning

The hearing ability of a human is uneven and is not accurate with high

COMMON Strtch = Piano_W

frequency and low frequency as it is with the middle range. The tuning of an acoustic piano is stretched to compensate for this so the sound will be heard naturally to the ears.

Off: The tuning is flat without stretching.

On: The tuning is always stretched.

Piano: The tuning is stretched only when piano sounds are selected.

On W: Same as “On” but the stretching is wider.

Piano W: Same as “Piano” but the stretching is wider.

when Solo is ON

Solo is ON.

Page 36

6.3.2 Temperament

COMMON Tempr =Pure Maj

This parameter sets the temperament of the MP4.

Equal: This is the most popular tuning method that divides the scale

into twelve equal semitones. This produces the same chordal

intervals in all twelve keys, and has the advantage of limitless

modulation of the key. However the tonality of each key

becomes less characteristic and no chord is in pure consonance.

Pure Maj: This temperament, which eliminates dissonance’s for thirds and

(Min):

Pythagor: This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate

Meantone: This temperament, which uses a mean between a major and

Werkmeis: These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and

Kirnberg:

User: You can make your own temperament by raising or lowering

fifths is still popular for choral music because of its perfect

harmony. When playing in a major key select “Pure Maj” and

when playing in a minor key select “Pure Min”.

dissonance for fifths, is very limited for use with chords, but it

produces very characteristic melodic lines.

minor whole tone to eliminate dissonance for thirds, was devised

to eliminate the lack of consonance’s experienced with certain

fifths for the Mersenne pure temperament. It produces chords

that are more beautiful than those with the equal temperament.

Pythagorean. For music with few accidentals, this temperament

produces the beautiful chords of the mean tone, but as

accidentals increase, the temperament produces the

characteristic melodies of the Pythagorean temperament. It is

used primarily for classical music written in the Baroque era to

revive the original characteristics.

the pitch for each half tone.

6.3.3 Key of Temperament

COMMON TemprKey = C

6.3.4 Tuning C - B

COMMON C = 0

Limitless modulation of the key became available only after the invention of Equal temperament. When we use a temperament other than Equal temperament, we must carefully choose the key signature to play in. For example, if the song you are going to play is written in D major, choose “D” as the temperament key. When Temperament is set to Equal, this page won’t be displayed.

When the temperament is set to “User”, adjust the pitch for each key and create your own temperament. The value changes from -50 to +50. These pages will only be displayed when the user temperament is selected.

Note:

The value is shown in “cent”. Half tone equals to 100 cents.

Strength of the struck key

Heavy+ Heavy Normal

Light Light+

Off

harder

This parameter adjusts the touch response curve of the keyboard.

Heavy+: This Curve has a steep rise as velocity increases, and a shallower

curve at low velocities. (see 1) This curve requires the most striking

force to produce a loud volume.

Heavy: This curve requires a stronger striking force to produce a loud

volume. (see 2) This curve is perfect for those with strong fingers.

Normal: This curve recreates the touch response of an average acoustic

piano.

Light: This curve requires less striking force to produce a loud volume.

(see 4) This curve is good for those still developing finger strength.

Light+: This curve requires the least amount of striking force to produce a

loud volume. (see 5) This curve is good for those with a very delicate

touch.

Off: This curve gives a constant velocity level no matter how hard the

keyboard is struck. (see 6) This curve is suitable for sounds that

have a fixed dynamic range such as Organ, Harpsichord and certain

synthesizer sounds.

User1,2: You can create your own custom touch curve to fit your playing

style. Two user touch curves can be saved.

User Touch

The touch curve is the main component between the action and the sound. With this User Touch Curve function you can customize the MP4 according to your personal playing style. After selecting the “Touch” function by pressing the MENU buttons, use the VALUE buttons to select User 1 or User 2. Now the selected curve is activated.

Press STORE Touch =User1

To create your own personal touch curve press the STORE button.

Start playing Soft - Loud

Now start playing the piano dynamically from soft to loud in order to let the piano analyze your playing style. Make sure that you really play in a realistic way according to your finger power and feeling. Sometimes the result is better if you turn off the volume first.

Press STORE when finished

Press the STORE button again when you finish playing.

8.2.3 System Tuning

SYSTEM SysTune = 440.0

8.2.4 Volume Slider Action

SYSTEM VolAction=Catch

8.2.5 Local Control

SYSTEM Local = On

The piano will analyze your playing and create a custom touch curve for you based upon your playing style. The new curve is automatically saved and will be used until you change the touch curve again or record a new one.

This parameter sets the global master tuning of the MP4. The value changes from 427.0 to 453.0 (Hz).

This selects how the volume sliders react, when you change the volume.

Normal: The value changes immediately, when the volume slider is moved.

Catch: The value won’t change until the volume slider catches the position

of the previously saved Volume value. This setting is designed for

live editing to prevent you from unexpected volume jumps.

On: The keyboard of the MP4 and the internal tone generators are connected.

Set this parameter to “On” for normal use.

Off: The internal connection between the keyboard and the tone generators

is switched off. This feature will avoid the “Doubled Sound” that results from use with an external sequencer equipped with Soft Thru or Echo Thru.

8.2.6 Multi-Timbral Mode

SYSTEM Multitimbre= Off

8.2.7 Receive Channel

SYSTEM RX Ch 1 = On

Multi-Timbral Mode allows the MP4 to receive data on more than one MIDI channel simultaneously. In this mode, the MP4 can play different musical parts with different sounds for each part.

On: This is a flexible 16 part multi-timbral setup.

Off: This turns off the multi-timbral capability. Only the system channel

will be active and only the preset sound currently selected will be

heard when a MIDI signal is received.

This parameter determines whether or not a particular MIDI channel will receive incoming MIDI data from an external source. This parameter can be used to filter out data on specific MIDI channels that are not intended for the MP4.

On: The MP4 responds to MIDI data received on this channel.

Off: The MP4 ignores MIDI data received on this channel.

When the Multi-Timbral Mode is set to Off, this page won’t be displayed.

8.2.8 LCD Contrast

SYSTEM LCD Cont. = 10

8.2.9 LED Brightness

SYSTEM LED Bright.=High

8.2.10 Out Mode

SYSTEM Out Mode =Stereo

This parameter adjusts the contrast of the LCD display. As the value changes higher, the contrast gets sharper. The value changes from 0 to 10.

This adjusts the brightness of the LEDs. You can choose from High or Low. The Low setting is designed for dark stages, while the High setting is good for bright ambience.

Sometimes it is convenient to have two mono outputs instead of a stereo output. In this case one mono output can be used for your own monitor system and the other goes to the mixing console.

Stereo: The signal on the Line-Outs is normal stereo.

2xMono: The signal on the Line-Outs is mono on both jacks

Note: To avoid unexpected sounding some stereo effects like AutoPan will be turned off, when 2xMono is selected.
