control box. Each push of the “TONE” changes to the next instrument in sequence

as follows:

Piano → Bright Piano → Mellow Piano → Electric Piano1 → FM Electric Piano

→ Church Organ → Warm Organ → Percussive Organ → (Back to the Piano)

A sample of each instrument will sound with each push of the “TONE” button.

88 different instruments can be selected using the “TONE” button in conjunction

with the piano keys (including the 8 instruments listed above).

< Selecting one of the 88 instruments using the piano keys >

the instrument desired. (See the keyboard chart on the following page.)
A sample of each instrument will sound with each key pressed.

（２）Release the “TONE” button once you have selected an instrument.

［Note］

・If the power is turned off, the instrument will return to Piano.

・Some of the instruments have pre-set effects (such as chorus & reverb)

as part of their default setting. In some cases, the effect may continue
when a different instrument is selected, depending on the instrument
selected.

・The rotary speaker effect is pre-set on the following instruments:

Warm Organ, Percussive Organ, Drawbar Organ 1, Drawbar Organ 2, Rock Organ

When these instruments are selected, the damper pedal acts as a switch

which changes the speed of the rotary effect.

on the next page show which piano keys are used to access the storage banks.

Chapter 8.1 Recording

< Record Instructions >

（１）Press and hold the piano key for the bank you wish to record to. Then

press the “REC” button. The “REC” lamp will light up to indicate that

you are in the record mode.

by default.

（２）Recording will start when you play the first note or press a pedal.

（３）When you are finished, press the “REC” button. The “REC” lamp will turn

off and data will be saved in the selected bank.

［NOTE］

・ Recording to a bank that already has data will cause the previously stored

data to be overwritten.

・ Any instrument can be setup to record. However it cannot be changed during

the recording.

・ The Metronome can be used during recording but the sound is not recorded.

・ Each bank can store about 10,000 key or pedal strokes. Once this limit

is reached, recording will be stopped automatically.

・ The recorded data is saved when power is turned off.

< To Delete a Recorded Song >

button.
(2) Press the piano key for the bank you wish to delete (see the figure

Chapter 10.4 Touch Control (Adjusting the Touch)

ProRecord has the capability of changing the touch control of the keyboard
(lighter or heavier). While it does not actually change the touch of the piano
action, it can give the impression that the action is lighter or heavier. The
idea is to match the feel of your piano. A heavier action would use a setting
of 1 or 2 and a lighter action would be set to 7 or 8. The factory default for
Touch Control is based on a Yamaha U3.

< Touch Control Instructions >

（１）Press and hold down keys A#0 and B1 (see figure below) while turning

the power on. You will hear a MIDI signal that confirms that the system
is in the setup mode. Continue holding the two keys.

（２）Select the desired touch control setting. (Refer to the figure below).

Here are some typical settings:
YAMAHA ：３～５
KAWAI ：２～３

（３）Release the two keys to store your setting and to exit setup. The setting

is retained when the power is turned off.
