1. Press the [DUET] button, the LED indicator of [DUET] lights up, and
the nixie tube currently displays duet type: “d**”(such as“d01” )for
2 seconds before it goes back to the main display status.
2. If you want to turn the duet function off, press the [DUET] button
again. The nixie tube currently displays “oFF”, and the LED indicator
of [DUET] goes out.
Select a Duet Type
Press and hold the [SHIFT] button, then press the key marked DUET
+/- to select the desired duet type. The nixie tube currently displays
type number, for example: “d01”.
There are 32 duet types built into this instrument, and the default type
is :01.
Note:
This piano has been programmed with an appropriate duet type for
each voice. So the duet type can also be changed by different voice
settings.
The Split Point of Duet
When the duet function is in use, the keyboard is automatically split into
two sections: Chord section in the left-hand area and melody section
in the right-hand area. This split point is related to the lower voice split
point setting, and the default setting is : F#3 (34).
Operation:
Press and hold the [LOWER] button, then tap any key on the keyboard
as the split point. The system will automatically exit the split point
setting when you release the [LOWER] button.
With this harmony function, the system will automatically add harmony
effect to your performance.
Operation:
1. Press and hold the [SHIFT] button, then press the [HARMONY]
button to turn this function on/ off, the default setting is: OFF.
2. Press and hold the [SHIFT] button, then press the key marked
HARMONY +/- to select the desired harmony type. The nixie tube
displays current number of selected harmony, such as: “H-1”.
There are 3 preset types of harmony effect, the default setting is:
1 1+5.

on this temperament method to make your own composition and
performance. Especially for piano, equal temperament is widely used
and taken for granted. But people used several other scales to
compose and perform before adopting the equal temperament.
1. Press and hold [SHIFT] button , then press the [SCALE] button to

variety of electronic musical instruments, computers and other related
devices to connect and communicate with one another. MIDI carries
event messages that specify notation, pitch and velocity, control signals
for parameters such as volume, vibrato, audio panning, and program
change information to change the voice selections.
MIDI Terminals
This instrument has been equipped with 2 MIDI terminals: 1 USB
terminal and 1 MIDI OUT terminal.
Terminal Rules
In MIDI terminals, we define those devices which control other devices
as “master device”, and the other controlled devices as “subordinate
device”. Connect the MIDI OUT terminal of master device to the MIDI
IN terminal of subordinate device. The MIDI terminals of the same
device cannot be connected. Similarly the same MIDI terminals of
different Devices cannot be connected.
MIDI OUT
Connect the instrument MIDI OUT terminal through a standard MIDI
cable to a computer or MIDI IN jack of other external audio source. So
the MIDI data can be transmitted from the MIDI out to another MIDI
device when you play the keyboard or use the MIDI control function.
such as: note on/off, voice change, control data and so on. Please refer
to MIDI Implementation Chart for details.
MIDI Controller
This instrument has 3 independent MIDI controllers, which can be used
to control the MIDI device. Please refer to the detailed procedures as
below.

You can refer to above procedures 3-6 to complete parameter settings of
controller 1/2/3. Press [MIDI EDIT] button to exit MIDI controller edit
mode, and the relevant indicator will go out.
Note:
1) The command value will be the DATA 1 of Bn if it is within the range
of 0-127 you set, then the value of DATA 2 can be set by pressing
[DATA] button.
2) If the number you set is 128, it can be the command Cn, then the
data value can be set by pressing the [DATA] button.
3) If the number you set is 129, it can be the command Dn, then the
data value can be set by pressing the [DATA] button.
4) If the number you set is 130, it can be the command En, the value
of DATA 2 can be set by pressing the [DATA] button and the DATA 1
will be automatically generated by DATA 2:
If Data2 = 0~126, then Data1=0;
If Data2 = 127, then Data1=127;
In addition:
If Data1=Data2=0, that means the pitch bend is in the lowest level;
If Data1=0,Data2=64, that means the pitch bend is in the middle
level;
If Data1=127,Data2=127, which means the pitch bend is in the
highest level.

A tuning system is the system used to define which tones, or pitches, to use when playing music. In other words, it
is the choice of number and spacing of frequency values used. The equal temperament (has only one tuning
method, and is suitable for keyboard) is the common musical scale used at present, used for the tuning of pianos
and other instruments of relatively fixed scale. One of the advantages of the equal tempered scale is that it is the
same in any musical "key", so that compositions may be freely transposed up or down without changing the
musical intervals. Especially for piano, equal temperament is widely used and taken for granted. But people used
several other scales to compose and perform before adopting the equal temperament. This piano has been
equipped with 6 scale tuning systems, you can select one to reappearing its matched chord of the melody at that
time.
Characteristics of Different Scale Tuning Systems
Pythagorean
The Pythagorean tuning, named after the ancient mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras, is based on a stack
of intervals called perfect fifths. It is particularly well suited to music which treats fifths as consonances, and thirds
as dissonances.
Scale Tuning System
Pure Major & Pure Minor
In music, just intonation (sometimes abbreviated as JI) or pure intonation is any musical tuning in which the
frequencies of notes are related by ratios of small whole numbers. Any interval tuned in this way is called a pure
or just interval. And the major scale which consisted of just intonations especially for this triad chords: Root, Third,
Fifth are sounded extremely harmony. The just intonation must be the most natural temperament.

Meantone
The Meantone System is a musical temperament which is close to just intonation. Used to tuning pipe organ in
16th century Europe. These musical scales which based on the Pythagorean System, minus quarter of common
comma for once, are extremely approaching just intonation. So, use this system to create musical scales are
sound beautiful and pure, just like a perfect triad chord.
Werckmeister
The Werkmeister was named after Andreas Werckmeister, and this scale was created as an improvement on the
Pythagorean scale. This tuning collapse comma maxima, created by Pythagorean, into four perfect fifths, the rest
fifths still remain their Pythagorean scale characteristics. Werkmeister Tuning can tune scale from harmonic to
melodic by increasing tone number, making each tonality sound distinct, this is the important gist for classicists
and romanticism tonality music to name the tone name.
Kirnberger
Kirnberger temperament is an irregular temperament developed in the second half of the 18th century by Johann
Kirnberger and regarded as an improved version of Meantone temperament. It makes possible to switch different
tunes freely when performing.
Twelve-tone equal temperament
In twelve-tone equal temperament, which divides the octave into 12 equal parts, the width of a semitone , i.e. the
frequency ratio of the interval between two adjacent notes, is the twelfth root of two. There is minute difference of
the same amount between each two intervals.
