WILLIAMSPIANOS.COM

5.   To disable transposition, either select 

Fu C#2 again or turn the power off 
and on.

MENUS & 

BUTTONS

There are 4 function buttons on the Legato 
III that control various functions. These are 
Metronome, Bluetooth, Chorus and Reverb.

Reverb and Chorus Buttons

The Reverb and Chorus effects may be applied 
to each voice individually and will be retained 
even when the power is turned off.

To apply the effect, press either button. The 
button will light and the effect will be heard 
when the piano is played.

To turn off the effect, press the button of the 
desired effect again and the LED light will go off. 
 
To modify the depth of the effects

1.  Press and hold the effect button

2.  While this function is active the LED should 

blink. You can then release the button and 
press a key on the keyboard corresponding 
to the setting you want for the reverb  
depth. It's possible to change the setting by 
pressing multiple keys after each other until 
the right setting is found.

3.  Set the reverb or chorus depth by pressing  

a key on the keyboard to select the value. 
See the Appendix for the value ranges.

4.  The keyboard should still play the sound 

originally selected so the user can hear the 
new setting with the sound selected.

5.  To exit, press the Reverb or Chorus  

button again.

Reverb and Chorus settings are set per 
Instrument and retained over power cycling.

Mod FX

There is an additional, hidden effect called 
“Mod FX.” On the organ sounds, this creates 
a rotary speaker effect with speed controlled 
by the sustain pedal. On Electronic Pianos, it 
creates a Tremolo effect. It is switched off for 
most sounds except for the organ. To switch 
Mod FX on or off, press Function (Chorus 
+ Reverb together) and press A#2 on the 
keyboard.

Metronome Button

1.   Press the METRONOME button to activate 

the metronome function. You can hear the 
click in headphones or speakers. When on, 
the button LED is lit.

2.   To set the level of the metronome click, hold 

the Function keys ( Reverb) and 
press F#0 on the keyboard.

3.   You can then select the level by pressing a 

key on the keyboard. Higher keys make the 
metronome louder.

4.   Press the Metronome button again to 

disable the metronome.

Metronome Tempo

Follow these steps to change the speed of  
the metronome.

1.   To change the tempo, press and hold the 

Metronome button. If the Metronome is off, 
no sound will be heard.

2.   Press any white key on the keyboard to 

select a tempo. The LED will blink to the 
new value.

3.   To exit, release the Metronome button.  

See the Appendix on page 14 for a chart of 
metronome tempos.

The tempo defaults to 120 and the tempo 
setting is retained when powered off. 120BPM 
is selected by pressing C3 (Middle C.)

See the Appendix for a chart of Metronome 
settings.
