As the colours of the wores in the mains lead of this apparatus
may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
• the wire which is coloured blue must be comiected to the
terrrdnai which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
• the wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
• Do not connect the wire to earth terminal of a three-pin plug.
Before You Begin
Location
To prevent damage to the instrument electronics, do not use
or store it for extended periods where it may be exposed to:
■ direct sunlight ■ extreme temperature or humidity
■ sand or dust ■ excessive vibration
Power Supply
9 Only connect the instrument to electrical outlets match
ing Üie specifications on the name plate at the rear of ttie unit.
Note: If necessary, add the appropriate step-up or stepdown transformer. Connecting to the wrong polarity or
voltage can irreparably damage the instrument
9 To help prevent noise and poor sound quality, avoid con
necting the instrument to the same electrical circuit as mo
tors or large appliances.
9
For the same reasons, never overload the electrical circuit
with too many extension cords.
9
Always start with the volume at a low level and gradu
ally increase it-especially when the instrument is con
nected to external equipment.
Interference
To minimize the risk of radio-frequency interference:
9
Keep the instrument away from fluorescent light fixtures
and other sources of radio-frequency noise that may dis
rupt operation of the instrument’s main microprocessor.
9
Never use the instrument in the immediate vicinity of a
radio, television set, or similar equipment, as the equip
ment may pick up radio-frequency noise from the micro
processor.
9
If operation becomes erratic or unpredictable or the in
strument fails to respond, reset the micro-processor by
turning off the instrument, waiting a few seconds and
then turning it on again.
Rear Connections
Only use jacks and connectors matching the corresponding
connectors available at the rear of the instrument.
Handling
9
Never apply excessive force to keys, switches, terminals
and other components.
9
Avoid dropping the instrument.
Treatment of the Stand
If you use the stand for long periods of time, the screws may
become loose. For safety, retighten the screws if you notice
significant shaking during use or if you move the stand to
another place (see "Assembling the stand").
Cleaning
9
Wipe the exterior of the instrument with a clean, dry cloth
to remove dust and dirt,
9
Never use harsh cleanser, organic solvents, or flammable
polishes.
Foreign Objects
9
Do not place vases or beverage containers on the instru
ment. Liquid spills may cause fire or electrical shock, as
well as cause permanent damage to the instrument.
9
Care should be taken so that metal objects such as pins
and coins do not fall into the enclosure through openings
between keys.
if any of the above has occurred, turn off the power, un
plug the power cord from the outlet and contact your
dealer or a KORG service center.
Warranty
Have your warranty card validated at the place of purchase
and keep it in a safe place until the warranty period expires.
Manual
This manual is your guide to using the instrument properly
and effectively. Keep it in a safe place.
Features
Six voices
The piano’s "AP Synthesis System" produces six realistic voices:
concert piano, electric piano, harpsichord, vibes, organ, and
strings.
Digital effects
Set the reverberation effects to simulate a large concert hall. Add
modulation effects to obtain a wider sound.
Voice combinations
Use the LAYER mode to play two different voices at the same
time.
Pedal effects
Damper, sostenuto, and soft pedals work in the same was as the
corresponding pedals on an acoustic piano.
Only C-350: The damper pedal on the C-350 includes a reso
nance feature that simulates the resonance effect of an acoustic
damper pedal
Built-in metronome
Use the metronome to set both meter and tempo. Metronome
volume is adjustable, and you can select a bell sound for the
accented beat.
Recorder
Use the piano's built-in recorder to record and play back your
performances.
Touch control
The piano offers three levels of keyboard response. Select the
level by pressing the appropriate TOUCH key combination.
Premodem temperaments
in addition to the modem Equal temperament (tuning), your
piano also offers the premodem Kimberger and Werckmeister
temperaments. Select either of these temperaments to accurately
reproduce the sound of a premodem keyboard instrument.
Transposition and tuning
Use the transposition function to transpose any key into any
other. Use the tuning function to make fine adjustments in pitch.
MIDI
Your piano comes equipped with the industry-standard "Musi
cal instmment Digital Interface." You can use MIDI to connect
your piano to computers and other electronic instruments. Your
piano can drive and be driven by external devices. The piano’s
"MIDI Muitivoice function" allows external input to drive up to
four of the piano’s voices at the same time.
The Backup Battery
Your piano’s backup battery enables the memory to retain re
corder data and various settings even while the piano's power is
off. If the [TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION] lamp begins blinking
when you switch on the piano, it is time to change the battery.
For instructions, refer to your nearest service center or dealer.
To switch the lamp off, press the [TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION]
switch.

3. Add various effects (C-350 only)
The piano offers two voice modes: SINGLE and
LAYER.
SINGLE This, the normal performance mode, uses one
sound over the entire range of the keyboard.
LAYER This mode simultaneously uses two voices over
the entire range of the keyboard.
Note: The LED indicators in the switches light to indicate
which voice or voices are currently in use.
SINGLE
Press a [VOICE SELECTOR] and every note
across the range of the keyboard will sound the
selected voice (for example, PIANO).
B
LAYER
Hold down one [VOICE SELECTOR] and press
another and every note over the range of the key
board will sound both selected voices (for ex
ample, PIANO and STRINGS).
Since the LAYER mode uses two voices , a maxi
mum of 16 notes (or 10, if the PIANO voice is se
lected), instead of the normal 32, can be played at a

4. Using Pedals
The left pedal on the C-150 can function as either a
soft pedal or a sostenuto pedal.
DAMPER
This pedal simulates the effect of a damper pedal on
an acoustic piano. When the pedal is depressed on an
acoustic piano, small felts, called dampers, are lifted
from the strings. This allows all strings to vibrate,
whether the key for those strings has been struck or
not. When the pedal is released, strings vibrating
without keys depressed are damped.
(C-350 only)
If the Surround parameter is set to "Off", pressing the
damper pedal produces an effect that simulates the
sound of an acoustic piano's resonating strings, when
the PIANO voice is selected.
SOFT
This pedal simulates the effect of a soft pedal on an
acoustic piano. When the pedal is depressed on an
acoustic piano, the sound produced is softer, as the
hammers strike one fewer string per key,
SOSTENUTO
This pedal simulates the effect of a sostenuto pedal
on an acoustic piano. When this pedal is depressed
on an acoustic piano, dampers for keys depressed
when the pedal is depressed are suspended above the
strings until the pedal is released. This allows certain
strings to vibrate freely while other strings are struck
and damped by depressing and releasing keys.
