A potentiometer or control voltage foot pedal can be connected to this input to control the
Wah-wah effect. The Wah-wah effect must be turned on to make use of this effect. This 1/4"
stereo jack conforms to the following specification: Tip=control voltage input, Ring=510 ohm
resistor connected to 5 volts, Sleeve=ground. For a control voltage foot pedal use positive 0 to 5
volts connected to the Tip and the Sleeve is grounded.
5. Connect AC Adapter
The ELECTRIC PIANO requires an external AC adapter. Make sure that you first connect the small
barrel connector on the rear panel of the ELECTRIC PIANO before connecting the AC adapter to
the wall outlet.
6. Select the Basic MIDI Channel
Set the basic MIDI channel on the MIDI channel selector located on the rear panel of the
ELECTRIC PIANO. The basic MIDI channel should be the same as the channel that your MIDI
controller uses to transmit MIDI note on/note off and program change information to the
ELECTRIC PIANO.
Refer to the MIDI channel selection table on page 11 for a list of all valid MIDI channel
combinations.
7. Select tuning
A rotary control is provided in the event that it is necessary to change the tuning of the ELECTRIC
PIANO. The center detent position is A440 standard tuning. The pitch may be raised or lowered
by one semitone.
USING THE ELECTRIC PIANO
Built-in Demo
A built-in demonstration will play some of the various sounds and effects the ELECTRIC PIANO is
capable of creating. It may be activated by holding in the AUTO WAH-WAH button and
simultaneously turning the preset selector to the M position. The VOLUME and OVERDRIVE
controls will remain active during the demonstration. To exit the demonstration mode, turn the
preset selector to another position.
Playing
After connecting the ELECTRIC PIANO as explained in the Set-Up section, you will be ready to
begin playing. The ELECTRIC PIANO was designed to be very easy and intuitive to use. The
following is a brief description of the ELECTRIC PIANO's controls together with an explanation of
their usage.
Volume
: Before powering-up the ELECTRIC PIANO, make sure that the volume level is turned all
the way down (volume control turned full counter clockwise). Power-up the ELECTRIC PIANO, the
MIDI LED should light up, then play some notes on your keyboard and gradually turn up the
volume to a comfortable listening level.
Overdrive
: Overdrive may be used to simulate the sound of a tube amplifier driven into clipping.
It helps to realistically simulate the tube type Wurlitzer model 120 sound used by many "R & B"
and rock bands.
