1. Push the button [PLAY/STOP] to terminate playback. The two-coloured display
stops flashing.
2. If you only have the included songs for the digital piano (i.e. no songs have
been recorded and no USB drive is connected), the button [SONG] can be
pushed to terminate playback of the currently played song.
3. Upon termination of playback, push a button for direct selection of an instru‐
ment voice to return to regular playing mode.
During and after completion of song playback, the digital piano can be
played as usual.
1. Select a source for song
During playback of a song, the source for the song can be changed by pushing
the button [SONG] repeatedly. The LED for the corresponding source ‘PRESET’,
‘USER’ or ‘USB’ lights up.
The source for songs can only be changed to ‘USB’ or ‘USER’ if a USB
drive is connected and recognised correctly, or if a song has already
been recorded.
If you only have the included songs for the digital piano (i.e. no songs
have been recorded and no USB drive is connected), the button

3. Select a song on the USB drive
When the digital piano has recognised the USB drive correctly, the display for
the button [SAVE TO USB] lights up. Now you may push the buttons [SONG] or
[PLAY/STOP] to play back the MIDI files in the root directory of the USB stick. If a
song is played back from the USB drive, you may select the MIDI files with the

– Since the digital piano will recognise MIDI files only in the root
directory of the USB drive, you should put the files you want to
play there.
– The digital piano supports only MIDI files with up to 32 tracks. If a
MIDI file has more than 32 tracks, the song will be automatically
skipped in an endless loop and the next song will be played. In a
single loop, the song will not be played back and the LED display
will show
E r r
. Use the buttons [+] or [–] to select a different
song.
All 60 songs can be used for practice. Keep the button [FUNCTION] pushed in the
operating mode "SONG" and use the piano keys [L]/[R] in the area "MELODY" to select
the hand you want to practice. Push the button [OFF] to leave the practice mode
again.
7.4
Playing
The digital piano offers a selection of ten voices that can be selected right in the con‐
trol field, 128 General MIDI voices and nine additional drum sets. To use the voices
not directly available in the control field, you need to send the corresponding MIDI
bank or programme control commands to the digital piano via the MIDI-IN or USB/
MIDI interface. For detailed information on this, see
Ä
Chapter 9 ‘MIDI Implementation
table’ on page 35.
By default, the voice of the right hand is set to ‘001’.
Push one of the buttons in the control field for direct selection of an instrument
voice. In playing mode, you may also select the voice via the buttons [+]/[–]. When
the voice is selected, the number of the current voice and a dot behind the second
digit in the LED display will appear.

[STRETCHED TUNING] have no function; the current setting for SPLIT and
the left hand remain unchanged, however.
1. Activate/deactivate second voice
Push the button [DUAL] to activate or deactivate the second voice. The corre‐
sponding display for the button [DUAL] lights up or goes out.
2. Select the second voice

Keeping the button [DUAL] pressed will briefly display the number of the cur‐
rent second voice in the LED display. Push one of the buttons in the control
field for direct selection of a second instrument voice. In this mode, you may
select the second voice via the buttons [+]/[–] as well. Pushing the button
[DUAL] again selects the mode for selection of the voice for the entire keyboard
again.
3. Playing two voices at once
If you have selected a first and a second voice in dual mode, you may play both
voices at once on the keyboard.

corresponding display for the button [SPLIT] lights up or goes out.
2. Select voice for the left hand
By default, the voice for the left hand is set to ‘007’ (string instruments).
Keeping the button [SPLIT] pushed will briefly display the number of the cur‐
rently selected voice for the left hand in the LED display. Push one of the but‐
tons in the operating field for direct selection of a voice for the left hand. In this
mode, you may also select the voice for the left hand via the buttons [+]/[–].

3. Playing voice for the left hand
If you have selected a voice for the left hand in this mode, you may play dif‐
ferent voices on the keyboard at once.
4. Split point
Keep the button [SPLIT] pushed and push a piano key. This specifies the split
point, i. e. the keyboard area to the left of this point applies for the left hand
and the keyboard area to the right of this point applies for the right hand.
– You will only be able to select a voice for the left hand if the display on
the button [SPLIT] is lit. It will then sound at once on the digital piano.
– The point on the keyboard that separates the left-hand area from the
right-hand area is referred to as the "split point". By default, the split
point is specified at key F#3 (34).

You may save the recording as a MIDI file in the root directory of the USB drive and
then play it back on a MIDI player. Proceed as follows:
1. When the digital piano has recognised the USB drive correctly, the display for
the button [SAVE TO USB] lights up.
2. Push the button [SAVE TO USB]. The recording is automatically saved as a MIDI
file in the root directory of the USB drive. During saving, the LED display ‘---’
appears. After completion of saving, the digital piano switches to automatic
deactivation mode.

If you push the button [SAVE TO USB] and the LED display shows
E r r
, this
means that saving has failed. Try another USB drive or format the USB drive
and try again from step 1.
– If you push the button [SAVE TO USB] although there is no recording,
the LED display will briefly show ‘noF’, i.e. no file can be saved.
– If the LED display shows ‘---’, the data is saved. To avoid data loss, do
not remove the USB drive during this process and do not switch off the
digital piano.
7.6
Historic temperaments
This function permits experimentation with different historic temperaments if you
are playing certain types of music that were not composed based on equal tempera‐
ment.
1. Push the button [STRETCHED TUNING] to switch to the mode for historic tem‐
peraments. The display for the button lights up. By default, the historic tem‐
perament set is ‘001’ (Pythagoras).
2. In addition to the equal temperament, six other historic temperaments are
available. They are: Pythagoras, pure major, pure minor, meantone, Werck‐
meister and Kirnberger.
3. Push the button [STRETCHED TUNING] to leave the mode for historic tempera‐
ments. The display for the button goes out.
4. Keep the button [STRETCHED TUNING] pushed in the mode for historic tem‐
peraments to switch to the mode for selection of the historic temperament.
Use the buttons [+]/[–] to select the historic temperament displayed in the LED
display and the piano keys C7 to B7 to determine the root note of the key.
– Historic temperaments and the root note can only be selected if the dis‐
play for the button [STRETCHED TUNING] is lit. Then the historic tem‐
perament sounds on the digital piano.
– The historic temperament is automatically deactivated once the digital
piano switches to the mode for song playback.

the button [SAVE TO USB] is not lit.
n Check that the USB drive was pushed onto the piano inter‐
face correctly.
n Check that the USB drive is OK. Re-format the drive with a
computer and try again or use another USB drive.
When switching the digital piano on and off, the speakers
make a "pop" sound.
This is normal. No reason for concern.
No sound is heard when playing on the keyboard. Ensure that the volume controller is set accordingly.
Using a mobile phone causes interference. Using a mobile phone close to the digital piano may cause
interferences. To avoid this, switch off your mobile phone or
use it only at a corresponding distance.
