IMPORTANT!  
Connecting to Audio Equipment 3  
Whenever connecting external equipment, first set the  
VOLUME knob of the digital piano and the volume  
controller of the external equipment to relatively low  
volume settings. You can later adjust volume to the level  
you want after connections are complete.  
Be sure also to refer to the documentation that comes with  
the external equipment for its proper connection  
procedures.  
Use commercially available cables to connect the external  
audio equipment to the digital piano's LINE OUT jacks as  
shown in Figure 3. R jack output is right channel sound,  
while L/MONO jack output is left channel sound. It is up to  
you to purchase connecting cables like the ones shown in the  
illustration for connection of audio equipment. Normally in  
this configuration you must set the audio equipment's input  
selector to the setting that specifies the terminal (such as AUX  
IN) to which the digital piano is connected. Use the digital  
piano's VOLUME knob to adjust the volume level.  
Connecting Headphones 1  
Connect commercially available headphones to the digital  
pianos headphones jack. This cuts off the built-in speakers,  
which means you can practice even late at night without  
disturbing others. To protect your hearing, make sure that  
you do not set the volume level too high when using  
headphones.  
Connecting to a Musical Instrument  
Amplifier 4  
Use commercially available cables to connect the amplifier  
to the digital piano's LINE OUT jacks as shown in Figure 4.  
R jack output is right channel sound, while L/MONO jack  
output is left channel sound. Connecting to the L/MONO  
jack only outputs a mixture of both channels. It is up to you  
to purchase connecting cable like the one shown in the  
illustration for connection of the amplifier. Use the digital  
piano's VOLUME knob to adjust the volume level.  
Connecting to a PEDAL Jack 2  
Depending on the type of operation you want the pedal (SP-  
20) to perform, connect the pedals cable to the digital pianos  
DAMPER jack or SOFT/SOSTENUTO jack. If you want to  
use both jacks at the same time, you need to purchase another  
optionally available SP-20 pedal.  
See Using the Pedalson page E-15 for information about  
using a pedal.  
Accessories and Options  
Use only the accessories and options specified for this digital  
piano. Use of non-authorized items creates the danger of fire,  
electric shock, and personal injury.

Basic Operation  
More about tones  
Using Tones  
The following procedures describe everything you need to  
know about selecting and using tones.  
Polyphony  
This digital piano can play up to 64 notes at the same time.  
Also note that the tones below offer only 32-note polyphony.  
GRAND PIANO 1, BRIGHT PIANO, MELLOW PIANO,  
ELEC PIANO 2, HARPSICHORD  
Selecting a Tone  
This digital piano has a selection of 8 built-in tones.  
Touch Response  
TONE Buttons  
The touch response feature of this digital piano causes the  
volume of the tones and the sound of the tones themselves to  
change slightly in accordance with how much pressure you  
apply to the keyboard, just like with an acoustic piano.  
Touch response affects the HARPSICHORD tone only slightly,  
because the original musical instrument normally produces  
the same sound, no matter how much pressure is applied.

Digitally Sampled Tones  
The tones of this digital piano are produced using digitally  
recorded samples of actual musical instruments. Not all of  
the instruments, however, can produce tones across the entire  
range played by this digital piano (A0 through C8). In such a  
case, digital recordings are used for the range that actually  
can be produced by the original instrument, and synthesized  
tones are used for notes that cannot be produced naturally.  
Because of this, you may notice very slight differences  
between natural notes and synthesized notes in sound quality  
and in results produced when using effects. These differences  
are normal and do not indicate malfunction.  
NOTE  
The eight tones that can be selected with the TONE buttons  
are for normal keyboard play. The GRAND PIANO 1 tone was  
recorded with stereo sampling.  
To select a tone  
1. Press the POWER button to turn on the digital  
piano power.  
2. Press one of the TONE buttons to select the tone  
you want.  
3. Use the VOLUME knob to adjust the volume.  
It is a good idea to set the volume to a relatively low  
level at first.  
Moving the knob towards MIN decreases volume,  
while moving it towards MAX increases volume.  
4. Play something on the keyboard.  
Adjust volume to the level you want as you play.  
5. After you are finished playing, press the POWER  
button to turn off power.  
NOTE  
The GRAND PIANO 1 tone is selected automatically whenever  
you turn on the digital piano power.

Sound Quality Setting Keyboard  
Using the Pedals  
The digital piano is equipped with two pedal jacks, one for a  
damper pedal and one for a soft/sostenuto pedal. Whether  
the pedal connected to the SOFT/SOSTENUTO jack operates  
as a soft pedal or sostenuto pedal depends on what you do  
when you turn on the digital piano power.

Pedal functions  
Damper pedal  
Pressing this pedal causes notes to reverberate and to  
sustain longer.  
PREPARATION  
The setting you select here is applied whenever headphones  
are not connected to the digital piano.  
1. While holding down the REVERB and CHORUS  
buttons, press the keyboard key that corresponds  
to the number of the sound quality type you want  
to select.  
Soft pedal  
Pressing this pedal dampens notes and slightly reduces  
their volume. Only notes played after the pedal is depressed  
are affected, and any notes played before the pedal is  
pressed sound at their normal volume.  
A note does not sound when you press a keyboard  
key at this time.  
Sostenuto pedal  
Like the damper pedal, this pedal causes notes to  
reverberate and to sustain longer. The difference between  
the two pedals is the timing when they are pressed. With  
the sostenuto pedal, you press the pedal after depressing  
the notes you want to sustain. Only the notes whose  
keyboard keys are depressed when the sostenuto pedal is  
pressed are affected.  
To change the sound quality of the  
headphones  
PREPARATION  
The setting you select here is applied whenever headphones  
are connected to the digital piano.

pedal  
Press the POWER button to turn on the digital piano power.  
Soft pedal is the normal effect of the pedal connected to the  
SOFT/SOSTENUTO jack.  
1. While holding down the REVERB and CHORUS  
buttons, press the keyboard key that corresponds  
to the number of the sound quality type you want  
to select.  
A note does not sound when you press a keyboard  
key at this time.  
To use the SOFT/SOSTENUTO pedal as a  
sostenuto pedal  
While holding down the pedal connected to the SOFT/  
SOSTENUTO jack, turn on the digital piano power.  
NOTE  
You can specify different sound quality types for the built-in  
speakers and headphones.  
NOTE  
The speaker and headphone sound quality settings you make  
are retained when you turn off the digital piano power.  
When outputting sound to external speakers from the LINE OUT  
jacks, connect headphones to the digital piano so the  
headphones sound quality setting is output to the external  
speakers. A Type 1 or Type 2 headphones sound quality works  
best in this case.  
The following shows how pedal effects are applied during  
different types of operations.

MIDI  
*1 Keyboard play and memory playback data can be sent as  
MIDI data. Demo tunes cannot be sent as MIDI data.  
*2 A device that contains memory storage for MIDI data.  
Some MIDI sequencers feature external storage  
capabilities, which let you record a virtually unlimited  
number of tunes.  
What is MIDI?  
The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital  
Interface, which is the name of a worldwide standard for  
digital signals and connectors that makes it possible to  
exchange musical data between musical instruments and  
computers (machines) produced by different manufacturers.  
MIDI compatible equipment can exchange keyboard key  
press, key release, tone change, and other data as messages.  
Though you do not need any special knowledge about MIDI  
to use this digital piano as a stand-alone unit, MIDI operations  
require a bit of specialized knowledge. This section provides  
you with an overview of MIDI that will help to get you going.  
MIDI Connections  
Two MIDI cables, one for sending and one for receiving, are  
required for two-way recording and playback capabilities  
with a connected MIDI sequencer or other device.  
What you can do with MIDI  
MIDI Channels  
MIDI allows you to send the data for multiple parts at the  
same time, with each part being sent over a separate MIDI  
channel. There are 16 MIDI channels, numbered 1 through  
16, and MIDI channel data is always included whenever you  
exchange data (key press, pedal operation, etc.).  
Send  
MIDI cable: MK-5  
Both the sending machine and the receiving machine must  
be set to the same channel for the receiving unit to correctly  
receive and play data. If the receiving machine is set to  
Channel 2, for example, it receives only MIDI Channel 2 data,  
and all other channels are ignored.

This digital piano is equipped with multi-timbre capabilities,  
which means it can receive messages over all 16 MIDI  
channels and play up to 16 parts at the same time.  
Keyboard and pedal operations performed on this digital  
piano are sent out by selecting a MIDI channel (1 to 16) and  
then sending the appropriate message.  
What you play on the digital piano can be sent to the  
connected device as MIDI messages*1. The connected  
device sounds notes in accordance with the messages it  
receives.  
MIDI messages*1 can be sent from the digital piano to a  
commercially available MIDI sequencer*2 for recording.

Assigning Tones to Individual Channels  
Simultaneous Receive Over  
You can assign tones to channels using a Program Change  
message sent from a connected MIDI device. You cannot  
change the tone assigned to each channel from the digital  
piano.  
Multiple Channels (Multi-Timbre)  
The Multi-Timbre mode makes it possible to assign the digital  
pianos built-in tones to MIDI channels 1 through 16. Then  
you can simultaneously sound multiple channels to play from  
a commercially available multi-track sequencer.  
NOTE  
The GRAND PIANO 1 tone is automatically assigned to all  
channels whenever you turn on the digital piano power.  
NOTE  
See Assigning Tones to Individual Channelson this page for  
details on assigning tones to each channel.  
Up to 16 channels can be received simultaneously (Channel 1  
through channel 16).  
The number of channels to be received simultaneously cannot  
be predetermined. If it becomes necessary to cancel a channel,  
the cancel operation must be performed on the sending side.  
Sending Memory Playback Data  
You can send memory playback as MIDI data.  
The send channel used depends on the keyboard channel  
setting, as shown in the table below.  
Keyboard Play  
Memory  
Keyboard Channel  
Keyboard Channel + 1*  
Setting the Keyboard Channel  
This parameter sets the channel for sending MIDI messages  
to an external device. You can set any MIDI channel in the  
range of 1 to 16 as the keyboard channel.  
* When you have Channel 16 set as the keyboard channel,  
memory playback is send over Channel 1.  
NOTE  
To set the Keyboard Channel  
Pedal effect data recorded to memory is applied to play back  
from memory, and does not affect your performance on the  
keyboard. Likewise, pedal operations on the digital piano are  
applied to the keyboard only, and not to play back from the  
memory.

Pedal and Effect Operation Data (Control Change and Universal System Exclusive  
Message)  
Control Change is used to send and receive data about damper, soft, and sostenuto pedal* depress and release operations, as well  
as data about digital effects.  
* You can connect up to two pedals to this digital piano. You can also specify either soft or sostenuto as the effect of the pedal  
connected to the SOFT/SOSTENUTO jack. Pressing a pedal connected to the SOFT/SOSTENUTO jack sends data that  
corresponds to the effect (soft or sostenuto) currently selected for the pedal.
