Advanced Operation

Changing the Internal Speaker Settings (Speaker Switch)

You can specify how the internal speakers are heard.

Setting

Explanation

Off

Sound is not output from the internal speakers; sound is output only from the Output jacks.

This is convenient when you’re using the piano in a live performance.

Stand (default)

Sound is output both from the internal speakers and from the Output jacks.
The character of the sound is adjusted optimally for when the piano is played while placed on

a stand.

Desk

Sound is output both from the internal speakers and from the Output jacks.
The character of the sound is adjusted optimally for when the piano is played while placed on

a table.

Regardless of this setting, sound is not output from the internal speakers if headphones are connected to the Phones

jack. If you want the internal speakers to output sound even when headphones are connected, see the following

reference (p. 11).

Playing Songs from a USB Flash Drive

You can play songs from a USB flash drive, or switch songs.

Matching the Pitch with Other Instruments (Master Tuning)

When playing ensemble with other instruments and in other such instances, you can match the standard pitch to

another instrument.
The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note that’s played when you finger the middle A key.
For a cleaner ensemble sound while performing with one or more other instruments, ensure that each instrument’s

standard pitch is in tune with that of the other instruments. This tuning of all the instruments to a standard pitch is

called “master tuning.”
You can adjust the tuning in the range of 415.3 Hz–440.0 Hz (default)–466.2 Hz (in 0.1 Hz steps).

Changing the Keyboard Playing Feel (Key Touch)

You can change the playing feel of the keyboard.

Setting

Explanation

+2: Super Heavy

An even heavier setting than “Heavy.”

+1: Heavy

You have to finger the keyboard more forcefully than “Medium” in order to play fortissimo (ff),

so the keyboard touch feels heavier.

0: Medium

Sets the keyboard to the standard touch.

-1: Light

You can achieve fortissimo (ff) play with a less forceful touch than “Medium” so the keyboard

feels lighter.

-2: Super Light

An even lighter setting than “Light.”

-3: Fix

The sound plays at one set volume, regardless of the force used to play the keys.

Changing the Key of the Keyboard (Transpose)

You can use the Transpose function to transpose the keyboard in

semitone steps.
For example, if a song is in the key of E major, and you want to play it

with the fingering of C major, set Transpose to a value of “+4.”

Setting the MIDI Transmit Channel

You can specify this piano’s MIDI transmit channel.
MIDI uses sixteen channels, 1–16. By connecting this piano to another MIDI device and setting both devices to the

same MIDI channel, you can play sounds or switch sounds on that device. This piano receives all channels 1–16.

Setting the Song (SMF) Playback Mode (SMF Play Mode)

This setting specifies the tone that you play on the keyboard while a song is playing back. Normally you will use the

“Auto-Select” setting. This determines whether the setting that is most suitable for the internal song or most suitable

for external data is selected when you play back a song whose file format is SMF.
Changing this setting does not affect the sound character of tone that you play from the keyboard.

Setting

Explanation

External

The tone that you play from the keyboard does not change when you play back a song.
This is recommended when you play back external data such as commercially available music data.

* With this setting, some effects might not apply to the song playback sound. For this reason,

the character of the sound during playback might be different than the sound while you

were recording.

Internal

When you play back a song, the tone that you play from the keyboard changes to the tone

that is saved in the song. This is recommended when you play back an internal song or a song

that you recorded on this piano.

Auto–Select

Automatically switches the SMF Play Mode to either “Internal” or “External” depending on the song that

is being played.

Preventing Double Notes When Working with a Software Synthesizer (Local Control)

When you have a MIDI sequencer connected, set this parameter to Local Off.
Since most sequencers have their Thru function turned on, notes you play on the keyboard may be sounded in

duplicate, or get dropped. To prevent this, you can enable the “Local Off” setting so that the keyboard and internal

sound generator will be disconnected.
