Sound Selection (Basic Playing Methods)
Once you’re familiar with the basics of the FKB-100L, it’s much easier to use most of the
standard functions. In this section, we explain how the basic functions work and how you
can get started quickly while leaving the more extensive functions for later.
Lit Keyboard Guidance
The FKB-100L is fitted with keys that are able to light up. A special ‘KEY LIGHT’ key is
provided for turning the lighting on or off as needed. The lit keys can be used to follow one
of the built-in learning methods, but can also be used as guidance when playing along to
any of the various built-in demo songs. The keys will light up the correct notes when they
need to be played.
Adjusting the Master Volume
Choosing the right volume level is important so that you can comfortably play your first
notes. When you first switch on the FKB-100L, the volume has a basic setting, but this can
be adjusted to your preferred level. This is done using the Master Volume buttons, where a
button marked ‘+’ and a button marked ‘–’ can be used to raise or lower the volume. By
pressing both buttons at once, the volume will be restored to the initial default level.
Timbre Selection (Voice, Sound)
The FKB-100L comes loaded with a large assortment of sounds, also known as voices or
timbres. 500 built-in sounds are provided and numbered from 0 to 499. At the end of this
manual, you will find a full list of every included sound.
When you turn the FKB-100L on, a basic sound will be loaded automatically, and you can
start playing immediately. To change the basic sound, press the ‘Timbre’ button, then use
the numerical buttons to directly input the number for a specific sound, or using the ‘+’ and
‘–’ buttons included in the numerical buttons, you can browse through the various sounds
one by one.
On the control panel of the FKB-100L, the sound categories and corresponding numbers
have been printed so that you can quickly jump to a specific category, then browse through
the sounds included in that category to find what you are looking for.
The sound categories can be found above the Power button, and lists the diverse groups of
timbres/sounds/voices available.
Grand Piano
One of the most used keyboard sounds is the Grand Piano. As such, a special, dedicated
button has been included for this instrument. At the push of this button, the keyboard can be
played using a standard grand piano sound. The assigned number for the grand piano
sound is 000, and this will be displayed on the built-in screen.
Keyboard Percussion
Besides the collection of built-in timbres/sounds, you’ll also find a separate keyboard
