Playing the pRP7
Connect the audio cables
The pRP7 does not incorporate an internal amplification system, there­fore you must either play using headphones or connect to a suitable external amplification system.
Connect the audio outputs to your amp. system (mixer, powered speakers, etc.) using audio cables with standard 1/4” jacks. Use RCA jacks to connect to domestic stereo units. For mono reproduction, connect to the Right/M jack.
Headphone jack
If you are not playing connected to an external amplfication system, plug a set of headphones into the Phones jack to play in total silence without disturbing others in the same room. Use a mini jack1/4” adapter for Walkman or MidiDisc headphone sets. The Phones jack is located on the rear connections panel.
Use the Volume control to adjust the Headphones volume.
Connect the power supply
Connect the Generalmusic power supply unit to the 12V. D.C. jack.
Turn the instrument on
To turn the pRP7 on, press the ON/OFF switch located on the rear connections panel.
After a short period, the instrument will be ready to play the Grand Piano preset. The LED of the Grand Piano Preset button will be on and the 3­digit LCD display will show a tempo setting as an indication that the instrument is on.
In this power up condition, you will be able to play a piano sound (GrandPiano) across the entire keyboard without carrying out other operations.
LED on
Adjust the overall volume
Use the VOLUME control knob to adjust the overall volume level. Sliding the VOLUME control knob to the right will increase the overall
volume, while sliding to the left will decrease it.
5
Play using the Pitch/Modulation Joystick
While you play, you can apply Pitch Bend and Modulation to the Preset sounds by using the Pitch/Modulation Joystick located on the extreme left of the control panel.
To obtain Pitch Bend, move the Joystick Up or Down.
To obtain Modulation, move the Joystick in Left/Right directions. Pitch Bend is aglide” (or glissato) effect which simulates the effect that
certain instruments can produce (trombone, guitar, violin, etc.). Modulation is an effect which simulates the natural vibrato of such
instruments as the violin, cello, human voice, etc..
Pedal Connection
The pRP7 has two connectors for the connection of optional, switch­action pedals: SOFT and DAMPER.
SOFT: The Soft pedal is a switch control pedal (On/Off) which affects the timbre of the instrument such that it plays softer, allowing you to continue using the same playing style at a lower volume.
MODULATION
PITCH BEND
DAMPER: The Damper pedal applies the Sustain effect to all notes released. If you release a note after depressing the Damper, the note will proceed towards its natural decay according to the type of sound played. The Damper is particularly effective with Piano type sounds.

Listen to the Demo songs
The pRP7 contains a selection of demonstration recordings of the internal sounds.
1. Press both the [–] and [+] buttons of the SOUND VARIATIONS buttons at the same time.
The LEDs of the SELECTION section start to flash.
Shortly after, all the LEDs turn off except the one corresponding to the PIANO button and the first demo starts to play. When it reaches the end, the second demo starts automatically, indicated by the LED of the second SELECTION button, (El Piano) and so on. The demonstration sequence consists of 8 recordings, chained to play as a medley automatically.
2. To stop the current Demo song at any point without cancelling Demo mode, press any of the buttons of the SELECTION section.
The Demo song stops instantly and the LEDS of the SELECTION section start flashing. At this point, while the LEDs are still flashing, you can select another Demo song by pressing the corresponding button of the SELECTION section.
3. To Stop the Demo song and escape Demo mode, press both the [–] and [+] buttons of the SOUND VARIATIONS buttons at the same time.
The LEDs of the SELECTION section turn off and the instrument sets to the last selected PRESET prior to entering Demo mode.
Select a single demonstration song
It is possible select a single demonstration recording without acti­vating the chain playback.
4. Press the [–] and [+] buttons of the SOUND VARIATIONS buttons at the same time and press one of the buttons to trigger the demo song.
In this example, while the LEDs are still flashing, press the first button marked PIANO. The LED remains on and the correspond­ing demo will start to play.
The 3-digit display shows the number of the Demo song selected for the entire duration of the playback.
Each button recalls a recording of a song using the instru­ment’s internal library of Sounds.
7
The pRP7 Presets
The pRP7 contains 48 Internal Presets, consisting of Single, Split and Layered sound combinations. Each sound combination also recalls the volume levels, a configuration of effects (Reverb and Delay/Modula­tions) together with relative effect send levels
The Presets are organized in the SELECTION section. The table shown opposite lists the pRP7 Presets, grouped in sets of six, each group corresponding to a button of the section.
The Selection buttons
This section consists of a row of 8 Preset “family” Groups.
The 8 Preset Group buttons are marked as follows: Piano, Electric Piano, Keyboard, Organ, Strings, Choir\Pad, Guitar, Vibes.
Each button of the SELECTION section activates a Bank of 6 Presets. Using the [–] and [+] buttons of the SOUND VARIATIONS buttons, it is
possible to select the 8 Presets of each bank sequentially. The 8 Presets of each bank are factory-set to recall Presets configured in the following manner:
123456
Single Single Single Single Layer Split
Each Preset of the current Group contains a memorized Layer and Split sound combination which you can recall in real time by activating the LAYER or SPLIT buttons in the CONTROL section accordingly.
Similarly, a Layer or Split Preset is easily converted to one of the other modes by activating/deactivating the SPLIT or LAYER buttons accord­ingly.
For example, if you have selected the Layer Preset 5 of a Preset Group, simply press SPLIT to recall the memorized Split combination, or deactivate LAYER to recall the memorized Single sound.
The 3 digit LCD display will show the current selection for about 4 seconds before returning to the Tempo display setting.

Preset selection
1. After turning the pRP7 on, press one of the SELECTION buttons.
In this example, we press the PIANO button.
You will recall the first Preset, “Grand Piano”, which plays across the entire keyboard.
The display will show “P1” for an instant before returning to the Tempo setting.
2. Press the [+] button of the SOUND VARIATIONS to select the second preset of the Piano bank, another variation of a piano sound, in this case, Electric Grand.
The 3 digit display shows the selection as “P 2”:
The last Preset button selected for the current Preset Group remains memorized. For example, if you select the Organ Group button, Preset 1, (Jazz Organ), will be recalled. If you now select the Piano Group button, you will recall the last Preset selected, Preset 2, (Electric Grand), in this case.
This system of memorizing the last selection made will help you recall your preferred Presets quickly.
3. Continue pressing the [+] button of the SOUND VARIATIONS to select the Presets of the Piano bank in increasing order.
When you reach the last Preset of the current Bank, pressing the [+] button will have no effect.
When you reach Preset n. 6 of the current Bank, you can use the [–] button to select the Presets in reverse order.
4. To cancel the current Preset and return to the Grand Piano Preset, press the Grand Piano button.
The Grand Piano button will always return to the Grand Piano Preset active across the entire keyboard.
LED on
The Grand Piano Preset is shown in the 3-digit display as “G P” for a short period before returning to the Tempo setting.

The CONTROL section
Realtime operations
The pRP7 operating system has been conceived to permit several simple and quick real time operations using the buttons of the CON­TROL section.
Activate Split mode
Starting from the Single Preset “GrandPiano”, you can easily split the keyboard by pressing the SPLIT button. This will divide the keyboard into separate left and right sections.
<------- Ac. Bass ------><--------- GrandPiano ----------> After pressing the SPLIT button (the LED turns on), the GrandPiano
sound remains active on the right side of the split. An Acoustic Bass sound is automatically assigned on the left side of the split.
If you press the SPLIT button again, the LED will turn off and the keyboard returns to the previous mode with the GrandPiano sound active to play across the entire keyboard.
Change the Split point setting
The default setting of the Split point corresponds to F#3. You can quickly modify the setting to suit your requirements.
1. Press and hold down the SPLIT button.
The LED of the SPLIT button starts to flash and the display shows the current split point setting expressed as the MIDI note number (54 = F#3).
2. While still holding down the SPLIT button, press the note on the keyboard corresponding to the new split point required (B3 in the example).
Flashing
The new split point is shown in the display as Midi note 59 (B3).
The setting remains memorized for all the Presets. It is not possible to assign a different Split point setting for each Preset.
10
Activate Layer mode
To mix or “layer” two sounds together, simply press the LAYER button. After pressing the LAYER button (the LED turns on), a second sound is
activated layered with the first (in this case, Strings is added to the GrandPiano sound).
<------------------------ GrandPiano ---------------------->
<----------------------- Strings ---------------------->
If you press the LAYER button again, the LED turns off and the keyboard returns to the previous mode with the GrandPiano sound active to play across the entire keyboard.
Add effects to the selected Preset
You can easily add or cancel effects from the current Preset by activating/deactivating the REVERB and EFFECTS buttons in the CONTROL section.
The on/off status of these two buttons show whether or not the current Preset is playing with or without one or both effects. When the LED of a button is on, the preset is playing with the corresponding effect.
In the following example, the REVERB and EFFECT buttons are both on, meaning that the current Preset can be played with both effects.
When the LED of a button is off, the Preset can be played without the corresponding effect (bypass).
In the following example, the REVERB button is off (LED off) and the EFFECT button is on, meaning that the current Preset can be played with the recalled Delay/Modulation effect only.
11
Change the Volume Balance between two sounds
If you are playing either in Layer or Split mode, you can regulate the volume of the two sections in real time using the BALANCE buttons. These buttons regulate the volume of one section with respect to the other, creating a perfect balance between the two sections according to your requirements.
1. Hold down the BALANCE button to increase the volume of the main sound.
The volume of the main sound will increase while the second sound (split or layer) will decrease automatically in proportion to the main one. Release the Balance button when you obtain the required setting. The 3 digit LCD display will show the current setting for a short period before returning to the Tempo setting.
2. Conversely, hold down the BALANCE button to increase the volume of the second sound.
The volume of the second sound will increase while the main sound will decrease automatically in proportion to the second one. Release the Balance button when you obtain the required setting. The display will eventually show a negative value when the level of the second sound is higher than the main one.
If you select a Single Preset (or deactivate the SPLIT or LAYER button), the BALANCE buttons operate as normal Volume con­trols for the main section.
12
Transpose
Pressing either TRANSPOSE button will adjust the pitch of the instru­ment in half-step (semitone) increments or decrements, through the overall range of –/+ 12 semitones.
When both LEDs are off, the pitch of the instrument is set to normal (Equal: C = C).
1.Press the TRANSPOSE # button once to raise the pitch of the instrument.
Play on the keyboard and you will hear that the pitch of the instrument is raised one semitone. The LCD display shows the current setting as a relative value, “01”, for a short period before returning to the tempo setting.
The LED of the TRANSPOSE # button remains on to indicate the changed status of the pitch. Every time you press the TRANS­POSE # button, the pitch is raised by one semitone.
ii
#
2.Press the TRANSPOSE b button to lower the pitch of the instrument.
Play on the keyboard and you will hear that the pitch of the instrument is lowered one semitone. The LCD display shows the current setting as a relative value, “–01” in this case, for a short period. A negative transposition value indicates that the pitch is one semitone lower than normal (00).
The LED of the TRANSPOSE b button remains on to indicate the changed status of the pitch. Every time you press the TRANS­POSE b button, the pitch is lowered by one semitone.
After about 5 seconds, if you fail to press either Transpose button, the display returns to the previous situation and the instrument remains at the last set pitch.
The current Transpose setting remains memorized even after turning the instrument off. When you turn the instrument on again, the LED of the Transpose buttons will indicate the changed status of the pitch.

13
Touch
The pRP7 offers three different keyboard responses, or “velocity curves”, which affect the instrument as a whole. When you turn on the instrument for the first time, the “NORMAL” curve will be shown set, indicated by the LED in correspondence to the NORMAL setting of the TOUCH button.
SOFT: This is useful for a player with a lighter touch or somebody more accustomed to a synth action keyboard. It requires only a relatively soft touch to achieve maximum volume.
NORMAL: This setting most accurately represents the touch response of a piano.
HARD: This setting is for “stronger” players. It requires a fairly powerful touch to achieve maximum volume.
The various curves can be selected by repeatedly pressing the TOUCH button.
The selection of the Touch curves is cyclic; starting from Normal, pressing TOUCH once selects HARD, followed by SOFT, then back to
NORMAL, and so on....
The selected response curve remains in memory even after turning the instrument off. When you turn on again, you will be able to see at a glance what the current Touch setting is by looking at the status of the LED.
14
The Functions of the pRP7
pRP7 features 4 functions which affect the instrument in various ways. The Functions are activated using the last 4 notes of the highest octave of the keyboard.

Midi Local
If you are using your pRP7 via MIDI as a controlling device connected to an external sound generator (expander, keyboard, etc.), when you play, you will hear the expander’s sounds together with the pRP7 Sounds. If you prefer to listen to the expander’s sounds alone, you can choose to exclude the pRP7 sounds by setting the MIDI Local function to OFF.
Setting this function to OFF disconnects the keyboard from the internal generator and transmits keyboard data via the pRP7 MIDI OUT only.
The Midi Local function does not play a reference note during the setting operation.
1. Press and hold the MIDI Local function key (B7) and press the TEMPO/ DATA – button once.
The display will show the Local Off setting for a short period.
Play a note anywhere along the keyboard. You will not hear any sound, because the MIDI LOCAL OFF setting disconnects the keyboard from the internal sound engine. This setting will allow you to play your external expander’s sounds via MIDI without hearing the pRP7 sounds.
2. To return to MIDI LOCAL ON, press and hold the MIDI Local function key, (B7) and press the TEMPO/DATA + button.
The display will show the Local On setting for a short period.
Play any note and you will hear that the connection with the internal generator will be restored.

About MIDI
MIDI, the abbreviation for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface”, is a world standard interface that allows MIDI compatible instruments and other equipment to communicate with each other, in order to exchange data and control one another. MIDI is now a very common feature and a great deal of literature is available explaining all the standards implemented by MIDI. You are recommended to consult other special­ized literature if you wish to know more about the standards imple­mented and how to apply them. This section limits itself to give some examples regarding the simplest forms of MIDI applications for your
pRP7.
The MIDI ports
The pRP7 is fitted with two MIDI ports: MIDI IN and MIDI OUT. The MIDI IN port receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device which
can be used to control the pRP7. The MIDI OUT port transmits MIDI data generated by the pRP7 (for
example, note or velocity data generated by playing the keyboard).
MIDI channels
The “MIDI channels” used in the MIDI communication system is similar to television broadcasting. Each channel can receive a different stream of data with respect to the others. Exactly as occurs in television broadcasts, in order to exchange data, the receiving and transmitting devices must be tuned correctly. In other words, the MIDI controlling device and the MIDI receiving device must both be set to the same MIDI channel, selected from 16 possible channels.
Multiple channel instruments, called multi-timbral units, can receive and transmit across several different MIDI channels at the same time, but each part must correspond to the same MIDI channel between the two communicating units. pRP7 is able to transmit on up to three MIDI channels. In reception, pRP7 can be used as a multi-timbral unit, because it can receive MIDI on 16 channels.
Midi Common
If you set pRP7 to receive MIDI messages on the Common channel, all program change messages received by pRP7 are interpreted as Preset Change messages, allowing you to play the 48 Presets from the external keyboard which emulates the pRP7 internal keyboard. Simply set the external controlling device to transmit MIDI messages on the same channel as the pRP7 Common channel (16).
The pRP7 MIDI Sounds and Banks
Via MIDI, your pRP7 offers some interesting features which cannot be achieved using the instrument on its own. On its own, the maximum number of Presets you can select on pRP7 are those listed on page 6, a total of 48, some of which recall single sounds, some two layered sounds across the keyboard and others two or three sounds on a split keyboard.
When you use pRP7 as a slave device, a MIDI controller keyboard can play the pRP7 internal Midi sounds which are organized in four banks,
20
the first three housing 128 sounds organized in “family” groups, and the fourth containing 60 sounds. The bank 1 sounds correspond to the industry standard General MIDI sound library, while banks 2 and 3 contain sounds taken from Generalmusic’s own extensive sound library. Bank 4 contains an additional 60 Sounds, but not organized in “family” Groups like those in banks 1, 2 & 3. Banks 2 and 3 also contain a Percussive family where you’ll find a selection of 16 Drumkits. Another drumkit is also in Bank 4.
These sounds and sound banks can only be selected via MIDI, not from the pRP7 control panel. To select these sounds via MIDI, you would have to send a Midi message to the pRP7 consisting of two parts: ControlChange/Bank Select (CC00-BankSelect) followed by a Program Change (PC). Refer to the Midi sound tables in the Appendix for information regarding the Banks and Program Change numbers of all the sounds and Drumkits.
MIDI messages transmitted and received by pRP7
pRP7 transmits and receives the following type of MIDI information. Note and Velocity data: This is information pertaining to the note played
and relative velocity value. The receiving device recognizes the note because it is defined by the “MIDI note number”, and the velocity value is defined by the “MIDI velocity value”. Whenever a key on the pRP7 is pressed, the note and velocity information is transmitted from the instrument’s MIDI OUT port to the receiving device. Conversely, pRP7 will play the corresponding notes whenever note and velocity data is received at the instrument’s MIDI IN port.
Program Change numbers: This type of information relates to data which identifies the pRP7 Preset. pRP7 transmits MIDI Program Change numbers from 0 - 47, corresponding to the 48 Presets that can be selected from the panel. Whenever you select a Preset, the corresponding MIDI Program Change numbers are transmitted to the receiving device, causing the correspondingly numbered voices to be selected in the external MIDI unit, set to receive on the same MIDI channels as the pRP7.
Conversely, whenever pRP7 receives Program Change number data (for 0-47) from an external MIDI device, the correspondingly numbered pRP7 Preset will be automatically selected, but only if received on the Common channel, otherwise, the internal Midi Sounds will be selected.
Control Change messages: The Soft and Damper pedals of the pRP7 generate Control Change data which is transmitted from the instru­ment’s MIDI Out port whenever the pedals are operated. The internal tone generator of the receiving device will respond to the pedal solicita­tions in the same way as the pRP7 Sound engine. Whenever the same type of Control Change data is received by pRP7, it will respond appropriately.
21
MIDI Applications
The following explains how your pRP7 can be used in the most common MIDI setups suited to this instrument:
a) as a MIDI controlling device (Master); b) as a tone generator (in other words, a Slave); c) for MIDI sequence recording.
As a MIDI controlling device
pRP7, like most MIDI instruments, transmits note and velocity information (touch response) via the MIDI OUT port whenever notes are played on the keyboard.
If the MIDI OUT port is connected to the MIDI IN port of another MIDI keyboard (synthesizer, etc.) or a tone generator (more commonly called an “expander”, but essentially any device with an internal sound engine), the external unit will respond precisely to the notes played on the transmitting keyboard.
The result is that such a setup allows you to play two instruments at the same time, using pRP7 as the controlling device (Master) and the other as the device being controlled (Slave).
Quite simply, every time you select a Preset, you will send Program change messages to the external device who will respond by playing a second sound.
As a Slave device
As well as transmitting MIDI information, pRP7 recog­nizes the same type of data if received at the MIDI IN port from an external controlling device. In this case, the MIDI IN port of the pRP7 is connected to the MIDI OUT port of the external controlling unit. This, therefore, allows pRP7 to be controlled in exactly the same manner as described above, only this time, the pRP7 behaves as the slave and the external device the controller.
Midi Sequencer recording
The type of data transfer described above can be exploited very efficiently for MIDI sequence recording. For this connection, shown in the diagram, the pRP7 MIDI OUT is connected to the Sequencer MIDI IN, and the Sequencer MIDI OUT is connected to the pRP7 MIDI IN. This connection is more commonly know as a “MIDI Loop”.
Any instrument with a sequencer, or a Computer running sequencer software, can be used to capture (record) the MIDI data transmitted by the pRP7.
When the recorded data is played back, the pRP7 reproduces the recorded sequence in exactly the same manner as it was recorded.
22
Recording Studio
The pRP7 features a simple but powerful sequencer which allows you to accurately record your playing or create simple songs. This section takes a closer look at the controls and related functions.
The Recording Studio, located on the extreme right of the control panel, consists of four buttons: Play\Stop, Rec, Click and Song Library.
Play/Stop : Starts and stops either playback or recording. Rec (Record) : Activates “Record pending” mode. Click : Activate/deactivates the Metronome (click). Song Library : Gains access to the internal library of Songs which
you can select with the Tempo/Data +/– buttons after activating the Song Library button.
Recording a song
The pRP7 sequencer (Recording Studio) allows you to record a simple song just as you play it.
1. Select the Preset that you want to record.
For example, select an ORGAN PRESET by pressing the ORGAN button and using the SOUND VARIATIONS buttons to select the required Preset.
2. Press the REC button.
The LED of the REC button turns on as well as the CLICK LED (metronome).
3. If you want to change the recording speed, use the TEMPO/DATA buttons.
Using the TEMPO/DATA +/– buttons to the right of the display, you can change the Tempo setting (the recording and playback speed).
4. Press the PLAY/STOP button to start the recording.
The LED on the PLAY/STOP button starts to flash and the metronome (Click) starts a one measure countdown into the recording.

During the playback, you can select a different Preset and play along with your recording.
Press PLAY/STOP to stop the recording at any point.
Flashing
Recording a new song
To record a new song, simply repeat the procedure as already ex­plained. The old song will be completely erased by the new the instant you start the new recording. Therefore, if you accidentaly press the RECORD button then escape, the song currently in memory will not be erased.
Click (metronome)
This button allows you to activate/deactivate the Metronome at will.
24
Song Library
pRP7 contains a large library of well known compositions taken from the vast repertoire of classical and traditional music.
The songs contained in the Song Library have been recorded with the scope of being used as study pieces; they contain little or no expression. These pieces are ideal for the student who can listen to and follow each composition, slowing down the tempo, muting tracks and activating the metronome.
Select a sequence from the Song Library
1. Press the Song Library button to access the main Song Library display.
The LED of the button turns on and the LCD display shows the current library number, L01 in this case:
2. With the Tempo/Data +/– buttons you can scroll through the Songs, up to L96.
For example, hold down the TEMPO/DATA + button and scroll to Song number 34.
N.B. You can “jump” 10 songs at a time by pressing both Tempo/ Data +/– buttons at the same time.
For a complete list of the pieces contained in the Sound Library, refer to the Appendix.
3. Press the PLAY/STOP button to start the selected SONG.
Playback begins instantly. If you want to listen to the playback with the metronome, simply
press the CLICK button to turn it on (LED on). During playback, you can play along with the song with any Preset.
4. To stop the playback, press the PLAY/STOP button.
The LED of the SONG LIBRARY remains on to allow you to make another selection with the TEMPO/DATA +/– buttons.
Flashing
5. To escape the SONG LIBRARY, press the SONG LIBRARY button.
The LED turns off and the instrument returns to the last selected PRESET.
25
Panel Reset
pRP7 offers a Panel Reset function which allows you to restore the factory settings without turning the instrument off. For example, should you have changed several aspects of the instrument (a new Midi channel setting, a change of the tuning, a different Touch setting, etc.) and wish to return to the factory settings in a single step, here’s how to do it:
Hold down the GRAND PÎANO button and press both the SOUND VARIA­TIONS +/– buttons at the same time.
All the user-programmed settings will be cancelled and the factory settings will be restored.

Technology
The pRP7 features a unique application of sound design technology patented by Generalmusic as “Damper Physical Model”.
Damper Physical Model
The damper pedal accurately simulates the effect of the dampers being moved closer to or further away from the strings of the piano. Because of this, effects such as partial or half damping can be achieved. The dampers can even be slowly “squeezed” back against the strings. When the damper pedal (optional) is depressed, the damper physical model will simulate the effect of sympathetic resonances being produced by the un-damped strings. Even if you are using a standard switch type pedal, you can hear the effect of the Damper Physical Model by comparing the sounds of notes played in the highest octave of the instrument with and without the damper pedal depressed.
Note: The Damper Physical Model is applied to the Grand Piano sound only.
