Layering

14

This function lets you layer and play two different
sounds at the same time. You can layer voices of two
different voices in the same category, and create a
composite voice of greater richness and texture.

The primary(main) voice is "Grand Piano" by default.

"L" means that Layer(secondary) sound.
"15" means that voice number (page 13).

t can be set to any number between 0 and 127.
By default, the Layer Volume is setting to 70, which
results in the secondary sound being a little softer than
the primary(main) sound.

You can not change the primary sound volume. It is
always setting to max 127.

The sustain pedal can be enabled or disabled while
you are in layer or split mode. While holding down
the [Layer] button or [Split] button, press the sustain
pedal.

Select the main voice in the usual way with the [Voices],
the [Next] or the [Previous] button if needed.

Then press the [Layer] button and use the [Next] or
the [Previous] button to select a voice to be layered
with the first one.

The secondary(layered) voice is "Strings" by default.

If you want, use the [Volume] button to adjust the
volume balance between two voices in layer mode.

Chapter 6 Splitting

Splitting

15

Split mode enables you to play two different voices on
the keyboard - one with the left hand and another with
the right hand. For example, you can play a bass part
using the Bass voice with the left hand and a melody
voice with the right hand.

Select the primary voice in the usual way with the [Voices],
the [Next] or the [Previous] button if needed.

The primary(right hand) voice is "Grand Piano" by default.

Then press the [Split] button and use the [Next] or
the [Previous] button to select a split voice.

The secondary(left hand) voice is "Acoustic Bass" by
default.

It is transposed one octave up automatically.

By default the split point is just below "F 3". To change
the split point, use the [Split] button.

While the keyboard is split, hold down the [Split] button
about 3 second and the LED will display "F 3" which is
the default.

To change, press a key on the keyboard until the LED
shows the desired split point.

If you want, use the [Volume] button to adjust the
volume balance between two voices in split mode.

It can be set to any number between 0 and 127.
By default, the Split Volume is setting to 100, which
results in the secondary sound being a little softer than
the primary(main) sound.

You can not change the primary sound volume. It is
always set to max 127.

"P" means that sPlit(secondary) sound.
"11" means that voice number (page 13).

The Dual(Duo) mode allows two different players to
play the instrument, one on the left and one in the
right, over the same octave range.

The keyboard is divided into two sections with the E3
key as Split Point.

The Split Point cannot be changed from E3.

Since Dual(Duo) is designed for two player piano
performance, different voice cannot be assigned to
Left and Right voice.

1) Sustain pedal : Applies sustain to the right section.

2) Sostenuto pedal : Applies sostenuto to both sections.

3) Soft pedal : Applies sustain to the left section.

[Previous] buttons. The range is from 0(no effect)
to 127(max).

3)

The appropriate Reverb type and Level(depth)
are called up automatically when you select each

selected, however, you can select a reverb type.
Available reverbs are Off, Room, Hall 1, Hall 2,
Stage.

2)

You can change the Accompaniment mode
of the style. If you select "Aon", you can hear
the Drum, Bass and Accompaniment of the
style. If you select "AoF", you can only hear
the Drum pattern sound.

4)

You can select a chorus type. Available chorus
types are Off, Chorus, Phaser, Tremolo.

6)

You can finely tune the pitch up or down in about

0.5Hz steps. This function is useful when you play
or record with another instrument that is slightly
out of tune or can't be easily retuned. The default
setting is "40.0" (440Hz). The range is -427.0Hz to

Various historical temperaments other than
the modern "Equal" can be selected. Available
temperaments are Equal, Pythagorean, Pure
Major, Pure Minor, Mean Tone, Werckmeister III,
Kirnberger III.

10)

You can set Local Control on or off here.
Local Control is the connection between
keyboard and internal sound producing
circuitry (engine). When Local Control is set
to "On", the keyboard delivers your performance
information to the sound engine, so you can
hear the sounds you play. At the same time,
the instrument transmits MIDI information via
its USB port.

There are, however, cases you need to set
Local Control to "Off". When using the
instrument with an external MIDI sequencer
or computer via MIDI, the instrument may
play the same note twice-once by the direct
sound engine connection and once by the
"echo" through the sequencer and coming
back. You can eliminate the echoing of notes
by setting Local Control to "Off" which interrupts
the direct connection. The default setting is
"On".

8)

You can set a playback mode for demo repeat.
The default setting is "All"

1) Off : Demo songs only play once.

2) One : Repeat playing of one song.

3) All : Repeat playing of all songs.

7)

You can adjust how the keyboard responds to
your playing. Available touch sensitivity is Flat,
Hard, Normal, Soft. The default setting is Soft.

This piano has three foot pedals : damper(sustain) pedal (right), sostenuto pedal (center)
and soft pedal (left) that produce a range of expressive effects like those produced by
the pedals of an acoustic piano.

2.

Soft

Sostenuto

Sustain

1) Sustain pedal

2) Sostenuto pedal

3) Soft pedal

The sustain pedal functions in the same way as a damper
pedal on an acoustic piano. When the damper pedal is
pressed, notes sustain longer. Releasing the pedal immed­iately stops any sustained notes.

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the
sostenuto pedal while the notes are held, those notes will
sustain as long as you hold the pedal (as if the damper
pedal had been pressed) but all subsequently played notes
will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a
chord, for example, while other notes are played "staccato".

The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes
the timbre of notes played while the pedal is pressed. The
soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing
when it is pressed.

When you press the sustain
pedal here, the notes you
play before you release the
pedal sustain loger.

Chapter 11 Pedals

NOTE

If the pedal doesn't work, make sure that the pedal
cord is properly plugged into the main unit (see page 10)

When you press the sostenuto
pedal here while holding the
note, the note will sustain as
long as hold the pedal.

Chapter 12

MIDI

MIDI is acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which is an industry standard
protocol for electronic instruments to communicate with each other.

A MIDI cable can transmit multiple channels of performance data which is similar to
TV channels. Each channel can be assigned its own voice. Typical MIDI instruments
can play up to 16 channels at the same time which is equivalent to 16 soloists.

If you want to use your piano and record your performances with a computer, a
sequencer program must be installed on your computer.

The instrument can be connected to the computer via a USB cable (AB type USB cable
of less than 3 meters).

Connect the USB cable to the USB Type B terminal of the instrument, then to the USB
Type A terminal of the computer.
