BeforeYouBegin

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.

TheBackupBattery

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.

4. Using Pedals

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

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.
