OPERATIONS
Most of the front panel buttons are very straight
forward and easy to select for general functions.
In cases where you want to edit settings in
more depth you will need to use the front panel
buttons as well as the Function button and Value
buttons to change parameters.
Powering on Rhapsody III
Press the POWER button in the upper left hand
corner of the front panel. The LED light in the
button will stay on when the piano is on. This
product has a power standby mode. If the piano
turns off while you are not playing it, this is likely
due to the Power mode being set to Auto Power
off. To turn off this function, hold the Function
button and press F#2 on the keyboard (below
middle C). The piano will automatically play
middle C twice to confirm your selection.
SELECTING VOICES
The Rhapsody III piano has 12 built-in voices.
Each voice may be selected one at a time. They
can be layered to produce two voices at once,
or assigned to the left or right hands in the split
mode.
To select a voice, press the Voice Select button
that relates to the sound listed above the button.
The button will light and the LED indicator to the
left of the voice list will indicate whether the top
or bottom voice is selected
