Initial Set-up 

  NOTE: 

If the piano has only 2 pedals, disconnect the cable that is connected to the 

“Sostenuto” pedal sensors.  Do this before powering up the control box. 

o

 

Power On 

- Turn the power on.

 

o

  A chime will be heard and the “PLAY” and “REC” lamps will flash alternately 

indicating that the system is in “Initial Setup Mode” 

o

  Play each note of the keyboard with equal force, making sure each key goes to full 

depth.  When each note is released, the note will sound slightly delayed indicating 
that each key was calibrated. 

o

  Press each pedal with equal force and full depth.  A chime will sound after eah pedal 

is pressed indicating that the pedal was calibrated.  The chime for each pedal will 
sound at a different pitch. 

o

  Push the “PLAY” button. If the calibration of all keys and pedals was successful, a 

chime will be heard and the “PLAY” and “REC” lamps will stop flashing. 
 

Notes 

 o 

If the system is powered off before the “PLAY” button is pressed, the calibration procedure will not 

 

be completed and must be done again. 

 o 

It may be helpful to pause a moment between each note to ensure that the note calibrates 

 properly. 

 o 

If any key or pedal did not calibrate properly, setup cannot be completed until the keys and/or 

 

pedals have been calibrated. The system will play the MIDI note of the keys or pedals that need to                             

 

be calibrated. Play the keys or pedals again and then push “PLAY”.  If the problem is with one of the pedals 

 

not calibrating, the sensor may be too close to the pedal lever.  Try moving the sensor further away from the 

 pedal 

lever.

Sensor Re-calibration 
 

 

The sensitivity of the keyboard and pedal sensors can change with time and/or temperature. Periodic 
adjustments are required to keep your system operating at its optimum performance. 
 

o

  To Re-Calibrate the system, press “PLAY” and “REC” while turning the power on. 

o

  A chime will be heard and the “PLAY’ and “REC” lamps will flash alternately indicating that the system 

is in set-up mode. 

o

  Press any keys or pedals that need to be re-calibrated.  It may not be necessary to play every key 

and pedal. Only those that need calibration. 

o

  Press the  “PLAY” button.  If calibration was successful, a chime will be heard and the “PLAY” and 

“REC” lamps will stop flashing.
