More about tones Polyphony This digital piano can play up to 64 notes at the same time. Note, however, that the tones listed below are capable of only 32-note polyphony. GRAND PIANO 1, BRIGHT PIANO,

HONKY-TONK, ELEC PIANO 1, HARPSICHORD, STRINGS

1, CHOIR, SYNTH-PAD, RIDE ACO BASS

Touch Response The touch response feature causes changes in the volume and the sound of the tone in accordance with how much pressure you apply to the keyboard, just like an acoustic piano. Touch response affects the HARPSICHORD tone only slightly, because the original musical instrument normally produces the same sound, no matter how much pressure is applied. Digitally Sampled Tones The tones of this digital piano are produced using digitally recorded samples of actual musical instruments. Not all of the instruments, however, can produce tones across the entire range played by this digital piano (A0 through CS). In such a case, digital recordings are used for the range that actually can be produced by the original instrument, and synthesized tones are used for notes that cannot be produced naturally. Because of this, you may notice very slight differences between natural notes and synthesized notes in sound quality and'in results produced when using effects. These differences are normal and do not indicate malfunction. Adijusting the Brilliance of a Tone You can use the BRILLIANCE slider to adjust the clarity and sharpness of a tone to suit your music and personal preferences.

1. Slide the BRILLIANCE slider left and right to

adjust the brilliance of a tone to the level that you want. + Moving the slider towards MELLOW produces a more mellow sound, while moving it toward BRIGHT produces a brighter sound. E-16 ”] | AP38_e_08-19,p65 16 Using Digital Effects This digital piano provides you with a selection of digital effects that you can apply to tones.

The octave is divided into 12 semitones that are equal in frequency ratio. With this system, you can perform in all the major and minor keys without any adjustment. Though we take this system for granted these days, it was a revolutionary development in the history of music. Equal Temperament tuning has been the most common system used in the world since the middle of the 18th Century. © Kirnberger III This is also one of the precursors to equal temperament. It is an evolution of just intonation and the mean-tone system, and all keys (from C-major to F-major) can be used for keyboard play. © Werckmeister Werckmeister is a famous theorist who also did research on equal temperament. This particular system is said to be a precursor to equal temperament, and all keys (from C-major to F-major) can be used for keyboard play. © Mean-Tone System This system was the first actually used for tuning of keyboard musical instruments. It was widely used starting from the Renaissance up until the second half of the 18th Century. During the days of Handel and Bach, it was employed for cembalos, organs, and pianos. © Pythagorean System This system was developed by the philosopher Pythagoras sometime during the 5th Century B.C. Most of the fifths in this system do not deviate from the “pure” (acoustically correct) intervals. The Pythagorean system is perfect within a small range of tones and in the simple keys, but it becomes inadequate in others. Despite this, this system was used for Middle Age religious music, which was performed (sung) using only the simple keys. © Just Intonation This system is one of the “pure” systems in which many ofthe fifths and thirds are acoustically correct. Try setting the root to C and playing C, E, G. 428h.E-032A 026.12, 15:55

What is MIDI? The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which is the name of a worldwide standard for digital signals and connectors that makes it possible to exchange musical data between musical instruments and computers (machines) produced by different manufacturers. MIDI compatible equipment can exchange keyboard key press, key release, tone change, and other data as messages. Though you do not need any special knowledge about MIDI to use this digital piano as a stand-alone unit, MIDI operations require a bit of specialized knowledge. This section provides you with an overview of MIDI that will help to get you going. What you can do with MIDI Send MIDI cable: MK-5

Demo tunes cannot be sent as MIDI data. #2 À device that contains memory storage for MIDI data. Some MIDI sequencers feature external storage capabilities, which let you record a virtually unlimited number of tunes. MIDI Connections Two MIDI cables, one for sending and one for receiving, are required for two-way recording and playback capabilities with a connected MIDI sequencer or other device. MIDI Channels MIDI allows you to send the data for multiple parts at the same time, with each part being sent over a separate MIDI channel. There are 16 MIDI channels, numbered 1 through 16, and MIDI channel data is always included whenever you exchange data (key press, pedal operation, etc.). Both the sending machine and the receiving machine must be set to the same channel for the receiving unit to correctly receive and play data. If the receiving machine is set to Channel 2, for example, it receives only MIDI Channel 2 data, and all other channels are ignored. This digital piano is equipped with multitimbre capabilities, which means it can receive messages over all 16 MIDI channels and play up to 16 parts at the same time. Keyboard and pedal operations performed on this digital piano are sent out by selecting a MIDI channel (1 to 16) and then sending the appropriate message. 428h.E-034A 026.12, 15:55

Simultaneous Receive Over Multiple Channels (Multi-Timbre) The Multi-Timbre mode makes it possible to assign the digital piano’s built-in tones to MIDI channels 1 through 16. Then you can simultaneously sound multiple channels to play from à commercially available multi-track sequencer. INOTE + See “Assigning Tones to Individual Channels” on this page for details on assigning tones to each channel. + Up to 16 channels can be received simultaneously (Channel 1 through channel 16). +_ The number of channels to be received simultaneously cannot be predetermined. Ifit becomes necessary to cancel a channel, the cancel operation must be performed on the sending side. Specifying the Keyboard Channel The keyboard channel is the channel used when sending MIDI messages to another MIDI device. You can specify any channel from 1 through 16 as the keyboard channel.
