Main features

A wide variety of sounds

Eight different expressive and high-quality sounds, including a concert grand piano, are produced by Korg's proprietary HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis system.

Pedal effects (

p.6)

The C-1500 has the same three pedals as on an acoustic piano: damper, sostenuto, and soft.

The damper pedal and soft pedal allow half-pedaling techniques, where the amount of effect can be adjusted by the depth with which you press the pedal.

Touch control function ( p.6)

You can choose from three different settings to adjust how the sound will respond to your keyboard playing dynamics.

Adjustable pitch (

p.6,7)

The Transpose function lets you change the pitch of the piano, and the Pitch Control function allows you to make fine adjustments in the tuning.

MIDI capability (

p.7)

The C-1500 supports MIDI, the standard that allows musical data to be transferred between musical instruments and computers. MIDI allows two or more devices to control or be controlled by each other, and also allows you to use the C-1500 as a 16-part multi-timbral tone generator.

Consideration for others when playing your piano

Please remember to take others into consideration as you enjoy playing music. Depending on the time of day, it may be appropriate to adjust the volume or to use headphones.

Even when using headphones or when playing at a low volume, please remember that the keyboard mechanism will still produce a slight amount of audible sound.

4. Using the pedals

Soft pedal Damper pedal Sostenuto pedal

This instrument has three pedals: damper, sostenuto, and soft. They can be used to make your performance more expressive.

Damper pedal

While you continue pressing the pedal, the sound will be sustained, and a rich resonance will be produced. The depth at which you press the pedal will adjust the degree of the damper effect (Half-damper effect).

Sostenuto pedal

The damper effect will be applied only to notes which were already held while the pedal was pressed, so that these notes will continue sustaining while the pedal remains pressed. The damper effect will not apply to new notes that are newly played while the sostenuto pedal is already pressed.

Soft pedal

The sound will be softer and more mellow while you press the pedal. The depth at which you press the pedal will adjust the softness of the sound (half-pedal effect).

Pitch control

You can make fine adjustments to the pitch. This allows you to precisely match the pitch when playing with other instruments.

KEYBOARD touch control function

You can use the white keys E4 through G4 to specify how your keyboard playing dynamics will affect the volume of the sound (see diagram at left).

If you want to be able to produce loud notes by playing gently, hold down the [FUNCTION] switch and press E4 (light).

If you do not want loud notes to be produced unless you play strongly, hold down the [FUNCTION] switch and press G4 (heavy).

If you hold down the [FUNCTION] switch and press F4 (standard), the volume will respond to your playing dynamics like on a conventional piano.

When the power is turned on, the standard setting is selected as the default.

Pitch control function (Tuning)

You can use the B4 and C5 keys to adjust the pitch of the C-1500 in a range of 452.5 Hz to 427.5 Hz in 0.5 Hz steps.

Each time you press B4 while holding down the [FUNCTION] switch, the pitch will fall 0.5 Hz. Each time you press C5 while holding down the [FUNCTION] switch, the pitch will rise 0.5 Hz. If you simultaneously press B4 and C5 while holding down the [FUNCTION] switch, the pitch will return to 440 Hz.

When the power is turned on, the pitch will be set to 440 Hz (A4) as the default.

Transpose function

In some cases, a song may be written in a difficult key (e.g., many black keys), or you may wish to shift the pitch to match another instrument or vocalist. In such cases, you can transpose (shift the pitch) so that you can use easier fingering, or to use the same familiar fingering to play at a different pitch. This is called the Transpose function. You can transpose over a range of 11 semitones.

For example if you transpose upward by one semitone, playing the notes shown at the lower left will produce the pitches shown at the right.

Musical notation showing a treble clef and a right-handled musical staff with notes and rests

While holding down the [FUNCTION] key, press a key in the range of F#5 to B5, or C#6 to F6 to transpose the pitch accordingly.

If you wish to produce a pitch that is lower than the key you play, for example if you wish to produce the A5 pitch (-3 semitones) when you play the C6 key, hold down the [FUNCTION] switch and press A5.

If you wish to produce a pitch that is higher than the key you play, for example if you wish to produce the D#6 (+3 semitones) when you play the C6 key, hold down the [FUNCTION] switch and press D#6.

Holding down the [FUNCTION] switch and pressing C6 will defeat Transpose (+/-0). With the default settings when the power is turned on, there will be no transposition.

6. MIDI

MIDI IN MIDI OUT Bottom MIDI IN MIDI sound module MIDI OUT

MIDI keyboard

MIDI channel

If you wish to use the MIDI connectors to play another MIDI device from the keyboard of the C-1500, or to use another MIDI keyboard or sequencer (automatic playback device) to control the C-1500 and play its built-in sounds, you will need to set the C-1500 to the same channel as the connected device.

What is MIDI?

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a world-wide standard that allows a variety of MIDI data to be exchanged between electronic musical instruments and computers, etc.

By playing the C-1500, you can trigger other MIDI instruments that are connected via MIDI. Sound selections and damper pedal operations etc. that you perform on the C-1500 will also control the connected MIDI device. You can also control the C-1500 from another MIDI keyboard or sequencer (automatic playback device), causing the C-1500's internal tone generator to sound. By combining two or more MIDI devices, you can enjoy additional sounds with the C-1500.

This section will explain how MIDI can be used in ways relating to the C-1500. If you would like to learn more about MIDI, please refer to one of the many introductory books on MIDI that are commercially available.

MIDI connections

Special MIDI cables are used to transfer MIDI data. These cables are connected between the MIDI connectors of the C-1500 and the MIDI connectors of the external MIDI device to (or from) which you want to transfer data. There are two types of MIDI connector.

MIDI OUT...MIDI messages are transmitted from this connector. The MIDI messages transmitted when you play the keyboard of the C-1500 can be transmitted to an external MIDI device to control it. Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT connector of the C-1500 to the MIDI IN connector of the external MIDI device.

MIDI IN...MIDI messages are received at this connector.

This connector can be used to play the C-1500's sounds from an external MIDI device (MIDI keyboard or sequencer etc.). Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI IN of the C-1500 to the MIDI OUT of the external MIDI device.

Changing the MIDI channel

You can use the C2 through D#3 keys to change the MIDI channel (1...16) on which MIDI data is transmitted from the MIDI OUT and MIDI IN connectors located on the bottom of the C-1500.

For example if you want to use the C-1500's keyboard to play (control) an external MIDI device that is connected to the MIDI OUT jack and which is set to MIDI channel 2, you need to set the C-1500 to MIDI channel 2 by holding down the [FUNCTION] switch and pressing the D2 key.

When the power is turned on, the MIDI channel will be 1 by default.

Local control

Turn this off in the following situations.

• When you do not want the C-1500 to sound when you play its keyboard, but want only a connected MIDI tone generator to sound.
• When you are using a sequencer that is set to echo back (re-transmit) the data it receives, and wish to prevent notes from being sounded in duplicate by the C-1500.

C-1500 Program List

PC# sound
0 Piano1
1 Piano2
2 Electric piano1
3 Electric piano2
4 Harps chord
5 Vibraphone
6 Organ
7 Strings

This instrument will switch sounds when it receives MIDI program numbers 0–7. If MIDI program numbers above 8 are received from the external MIDI device, the C-1500 will not switch sounds.

Changing the Local Control setting

Use the C4 and B3 keys to switch Local Control on/off.

If you do not want the C-1500 to produce sound when its keyboard is played (i.e., to only transmit and receive MIDI data), hold down the [FUNCTION] switch and press B3 to turn Local Off. If you hold down the [FUNCTION] switch and press C4, you will turn Local On, and the C-1500 will sound normally when you play its keyboard. When the power is turned on, this setting will be Local On (default).

If you turn Local Control off, playing the keyboard will normally produce no sound.

Transmitting and receiving Program Changes

The program numbers of a connected MIDI device can be selected from the C-1500, or you can use a connected MIDI device to select program numbers on the C-1500. When you select a sound on the C-1500 (p.5 "3. Selecting and playing different sounds"), MIDI program change numbers (PC#) 0...7 will be transmitted, as shown in the table at left. When a program change number (PC#) is received from an external device, the corresponding sound will be selected for the C-1500 timbre of that MIDI channel. At this time, no program change will occur for the sound that is played from the keyboard.

Using the C-1500 as a multi-timbral tone generator

The C-1500 will function as a 16-part multi-timbral tone generator that can be controlled and played from an external MIDI device. If you transmit performance data together with program change messages from a connected sequencer etc., the C-1500 will play using its sounds that correspond to those program numbers. By using the C-1500 as a multi-timbral tone generator you can produce performances similar to demo number 2 (p.5)

7. Troubleshooting

	If you suspect a malfunction, please check the following points first. If this does not resolve the problem, please contact your dealer or a Korg service center.
Power does not turn on	· Is the power cable connected to an appropriate AC outlet? ...... p.4 · Is the power cable connector plugged into the socket on the bottom of the C-1500? ...... p.10 · Is the power switch turned on? ...... p.4
No sound from the speakers	· Is the [ VOLUME] slider raised? ...... p.4 · Have headphones been plugged in? ...... p.4 · Was the Local Control setting turned off? ...... p.8
Notes are interrupted	· The sounds of the C-1500 are produced by sampling (recording) the sounds of actual instruments, and processing or analyzing them. Some sounds play one piece of sampled data when a note is played (mono), while other sounds play two pieces (stereo). The PIANO 1 sound is stereo, so the maximum number of notes that can be played simultaneously (i.e., the polyphony) will be 32 notes, even if the damper pedal is pressed. For other sounds, the polyphony is 64 notes.
The pitch or tone of piano sounds is wrong in certain key ranges	· The piano sounds of the C-1500 are designed to simulate the sounds of a real piano as accurately as possible. For this reason, it may sound as though there is something unusual about the pitch or tone, such as an emphasis in the overtones of certain ranges. This is not a malfunction.
An external device does not respond to transmitted MIDI data	· Make sure that MIDI cable connections are correct. · Make sure that the C-1500 is transmitting MIDI data on the channel that the receiving device is set to receive...... p.7
Pedal effects do not apply correctly	· Has the pedal connector been disconnected? ...... p.10
