Assembling the Stand

Warning

At least one other person must help you assemble the stand.

Caution during assembly

Make sure that you have the correct part in the correct orientation, and perform the assembly in the order given.

Other cautions

- Loosened screws

The screws may loosen as time passes after assembly. You should periodically check whether any screws have become loose. If you feel that the stand vibrates excessively, it is possible that screws have come loose. If so, re-tighten them.

- Moving the digital piano to another location

To move the assembled stand, remove the AC adapter cord from the stand, close the key cover, and then move it slowly with at least two people, keeping it as level as possible.

Disassembly

If you need to disassemble the stand, do so by reversing the steps of the assembly procedure. After disassembly, keep the screws and other parts in a safe place so that they are not lost.

Assembly procedure

You'll need a Phillips (+) screwdriver.

1. Make sure that all of the following parts are available.

1. Connect the attached pedal cord, observing the correct orientation, to the connector on the reverse side of the pedal unit, and then engage it with a slot in the pedal unit.

The pedal cord can be attached to or detached from the connector with its locking tab held down.

3. Insert the pedal unit into the pedal board, and then fasten it by pressing a push rivet into the hole (above the cutout) at the rear of the pedal board.

After pressing the push rivet into the hole, lift the pedal board to check that the pedal unit do not drop. The push rivet will prevent the pedal unit from falling out. Otherwise, it will not be fully fastened to the pedal board.

1. Using four screws (M4, long), temporarily fasten the pedal board (with the pedal unit attached) to the brackets at the bottom of the inside of the left and right side panels.

2. To temporarily tighten the screws is to tighten them leaving a clearance of about 2 mm.

1. Lift up the speaker box so that the brackets (A) on the left and right side panels pass through the dents in the speaker box. When the brackets (A) are fully hidden within the speaker box, push the speaker box forward so the rear of the speaker box is nearly flush with the edges of the side panels. Then, the speaker box can be released.

Lift the speaker box from below the bracket. Be careful not to pinch your fingers.

1. Align the bracket holes in the left and right side panels with the holes in the speaker box, and then secure them with the four screws (M4, long) so the gaps on the left and right sides are equal.

1. Attach the brackets at the holes (under the speaker box) in the left and right side panels with the screws (M4, short).

1. Slightly bend the rear panel and insert it into the grooves in the left and right side panels.

Be careful not to pinch your fingers.

1. Lift up the rear panel to align the holes in the rear panel and the brackets installed in step 7, and then temporarily fasten the bottom of the rear panel with the four screws (M4, short).

1. Fasten the rear panel and the brackets (through the holes aligned in step 9) with two screws (M4, short).

1. Firmly tighten the speaker box screws temporarily tightened in step 4.
   Make any vertical and horizontal adjustments necessary so that the left and right side panels are positioned equally.
2. Ensure that the stand has no gaps and is not tilted, and that all the screws are tightened firmly.
   This completes the assembly of the stand.
3. Place the Poetry on the stand, make any vertical and horizontal adjustments, and then fasten them to each other from the bottom, using two screws (M6).
   Position the Poetry so that it extends about 1mm from the rear of the stand.

1. Make sure to attach the anti-tipping brackets behind both side panels, starting with the round hole at the bottom. When attaching the anti-tipping bracket on the left side, also attach the cord holder, as shown in the diagram.

2. Connect the pedal cord and the speaker cord to the connectors on the rear of the Poetry's connector box.

When connecting the pedal cord and the speaker cord, observe the correct orientations of the connectors.

The pedal cord or the speaker cord can be detached from the connector with its locking tab held down.

1. Use the cord holder to hold the pedal cord.

After securing the cord with the cord holder, ensure that excess pressure is not applied to the connectors.

1. Connect the dedicated cord to the AC adapter. Then, plug the AC adapter into the DC 24V connector, and wrap the cord around the cord hook of the piano. For details, refer to "Connecting the Power" on page 8.

2. Place the Poetry where you intend to use it. Make sure to place it in a safe location where the floor is flat and stable.

When setting the digital piano in place, make sure that the stand does not rest on the AC adapter cable or pedal cable.
For greater safety, be sure to attach the anti-tipping brackets to the rear of the left and right side panels.

Check following assembly

Joints between the side panels and the attached anire any parts left over?

tipping brackets should be even (with no level difference left).

If any parts are left over, carefully review the assembly procedure to see where those parts should have been used.

Make sure that all screws are tight.
Depending on the condition of the floor at the installation location, the digital piano may shake back and forth. In that case, attach one or two pieces of stabilizing felt to the bottom of the anti-tipping brackets in order to reduce the shaking (see the diagram for step 14).

The # column shows the number of oscillators, or voices, used to create a single note for that sound. (Refer to "About maximum polyphony" on page 20.)

*1: PLEYEL pianos manufactured in Chopin's era were tuned at 430 Hz (A4). Playing with the pitch of each PLEYEL sound set to 430 Hz therefore allows you to enjoy the ambiance of that era.

For details on changing the pitch, refer to "List of functions" on page 16 and "Additional Functions and Descriptions" on page 17.

*2: The Pleyel 1843 sound reproduces the 1843 Pleyel piano with 80 sound-producing keys. Keys A0 to B0 and G#7 to C8 do not produce sound.

In addition, the touch sensitivity for producing quiet notes is subtle.

Using pedals

The Poetry includes all three of the pedals found on a grand piano. Using the pedals can add expression, control, and sophistication to any performance.

Soft pedal (left)

The Soft pedal slightly reduces the volume and softens the tone. Accurate half-pedaling allows you to control the depth of the effect by how far down the pedal is pressed. ("half-pedaling").

Sostenuto pedal (center)

This pedal provides a similar effect as the al-allowing notes to continue to sound after the key is released-but the effect only applies to the notes being held down when the Sostenuto pedal is pressed. New notes played after the Sostenuto pedal has been pressed will not sustain.

Damper pedal (right)

As mentioned above, the Damper pedal allows notes to continue to sound after the key has been released, adding a rich, resonant decay. You can also add damper resonance to the PIANO and PLEYEL sounds. Accurate half-pedaling allows you to control the depth of the effect by how far down the pedal is pressed. ("half-pedaling").

Effects

Brilliance

This effect changes the brightness of the tone.

The setting can be changed by holding down the BRIL-LIANCE button and pressing the + or - button beside the display.

The setting appears in the display with 003 producing brighter sound and 001 producing a less bright sound.

Brilliance cannot be turned off.

The same setting is applied to all sounds and remains applied until the Poetry is turned off. When the instrument is turned on, the default setting 002 is selected.

By performing the "Save parameter settings" (see page 6) operation before the Poetry is turned off, the new settings specified for each sound can be saved as the default settings.

rb

This effect adds ambience and depth to the sound, producing the sense of performing in a concert hall.

Each press of the REVERB button turns the reverb on (button lights up) or off (button turns off).

To change this setting, hold down the REVERB button and press the + or - button beside the display.

The setting appears in the display with 003 producing deep reverb effect and 001 producing a light reverb effect.

As a factory default, the on/off setting for this effect as well as this effect's setting are saved with each sound.

By performing the "Save parameter settings" (see page 6) operation before the sound is switched, the new settings specified for each sound can be saved as the default settings.

us

Chorus adds modulation to the sound, producing an expansively rich sound.

Each press of the CHORUS button turns the Chorus effect already (button lights up) or off (button turns off).

To change this setting, hold down the CHORUS button and press the + or - button beside the display.

The setting appears in the display with 003 producing deep chorus effect and 001 producing a light chorus effect.

As a factory default, the on/off setting for this effect as well as this effect's setting are saved with each sound.

By performing the "Save parameter settings" (see page 6) operation before the sound is switched, the new settings specified for each sound can be saved as the default settings.

Touch settings

The keyboard sensitivity, or touch, can be programmed. With the "Light" setting, loud notes will be produced even if the key is lightly pressed, and with the "Heavy" setting, loud notes will not be produced unless the key is strongly pressed.

To change the setting, hold down the TOUCH button and press the + or - button beside the display.

Display	Touch sensitivity
001 Light Loud	notes can be produced even by pressing lightly, which produces a brighter sound.
002 Normal Normal piano touch, recommended with Poetry.
003 Heavy	Loud notes can be produced only by pressing hard, which makes it easier to produce soft notes. Since this allows for a more expressive performance, it is intended for advanced players.
004 Stable	Sensitivity variations are reduced, and a relatively stable sound is produced. This makes playing easy, even for beginners and children.
005 Steady	Steady notes are produced, like with an organ, regardless of the force used to press the key.

Note The diagram below shows the relationship between how hard you press the key and how loud or quiet the notes sound.

Note When the instrument is turned on, the touch setting is reset to 002 (Normal).

Note The settings are applied to all sounds.

Transpose

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 an easier fingering, or use the same familiar fingering to play at a different pitch. This is called the Transpose function.

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.

While holding down the TRANSPOSE button, press the keyboard key (F#6-F7) for the desired transposition. If a keyboard key other than C7 is pressed, the TRANSPOSE button lights up to indicate that the keyboard is transposed. The pitch of the entire keyboard is transposed according to the pitch of the pressed keyboard key in relation to C7.

To return to the original pitches, hold down the TRANS-POSE button and press the C7 key.

The TRANSPOSE button turns off, and transposition is canceled.

key Effect
F#6 - B6	6-1 semitones lower
C7 Standard pitch
C#7 - F7	1-5 semitones higher

Note When the instrument is turned on, the transposition is reset.

The metronome

The Poetry is equipped with a metronome, which can be changed to a bell sound. This is convenient for practicing.

Turning on/off the metronome

Performance Modes

Playing two sounds at the same time (Layer Mode)

You can play two sounds at the same time on the keyboard. This is called the Layer Mode.

1. While holding down the button of a sound to be layered, press another sound button.

The two selected sound buttons light up.

In order to use sounds in different banks, first select the banks in the Single mode for the sound buttons to be pressed.

For example, to play by layering the Italian Grand Piano and Jazz Organ 2 sounds, select bank 1 (Italian Grand Piano) for the PIANO button and bank 2 (Jazz Organ 2) for the ORGAN1 button, and then press both buttons simultaneously.

To adjust the volume balance of the two sounds, press the FUNCTION button, then the HARPSI/CLAV button, and then press the + or - button to adjust the setting. After selecting the setting, press the FUNCTION button again.

(Refer to "Layer Mode settings" below and "Function Mode" on page 16.)

1. To return to Single Mode, press any single Sound Button.

When selecting Layer Mode, the total number of voices that can play at the same time is reduced, depending on the total number of oscillators used per voice by the selected sounds. (Refer to "About maximum polyphony" on page 20.)

Sounds accessed by the same Sound Button cannot be layered. For example, Italian Grand Piano and Jazz Piano are both accessed via the PIANO button and thus cannot be layered.

Layer Mode settings

In Layer Mode, the volume balance between sounds can be adjusted, the octave for each sound can be shifted, and the damper pedal can be enabled or disabled for each sound. (Refer to "Function Mode" on page 16.)

Note The leftmost or uppermost selected sound layer 1, and the other (rightmost or lowermost) one is layer 2 (see the diagram at the below).

For example, if E.PIANO1 and ORGAN1 are selected, E.PIANO1 is layer 1 and ORGAN1 is layer 2.

Performing with another person (Partner mode)

Two people can play in the same range with the keyboard divided in half between them. This is called the Partner mode.

Entering Partner Mode

With the Poetry turned off, hold down the BANK button, and then press the Power button. When a dot appears in the lower-right corner of the display, release the BANK button. When the Poetry is in Partner Mode, a dot appears in the lower-right corner of the display.

The PIANO sound is used for both the left and right sides of the keyboard.

The right side of the keyboard, from E4 to C8, produces sounds two octaves lower in pitch (E2-C6).

The left side of the keyboard, from A0 to E4, produces sounds two octaves higher in pitch (A2-E6).

Pitches A2 to E6 for the player on the left side
Pitches E2 to C6 for the player on the right side

The left side of the keyboard will be output from the left speaker (L channel), and the right side of the keyboard will be output from the right speaker (R channel).

Changing the sound for both sides

Press a sound button. Both sides will change to the same sound.

Selecting sounds for the left and right sides

Simultaneously press the two sound buttons for the sounds to be used. The two pressed sound buttons light up.

Sound for left side of keyboard

The leftmost or uppermost selected sound button is for the left side of the keyboard, and the other (rightmost or lowermost) one is for the right side of the keyboard. For example, if the sound from the E.PIANO1 button is to be applied to the left side and the sound from the ORGAN1 button is to be applied to the right side, hold down the E.PIANO1 button, and then press the ORGAN1 button.

In order to use sounds in different banks, banks in Single Mode before entering Partner Mode.

Damper Pedal Assignments

In Partner Mode, the Soft pedal acts as a damper pedal for the left side of the keyboard; the Damper pedal acts as the damper pedal for the right side of the keyboard.

The Sostenuto pedal has no function in Partner Mode.

The volume balance of the sounds for the left and right sides can be adjusted with "Volume balance for Layer Mode (or Partner Mode)" in "Function Mode" on page 16.

Exiting Partner Mode

Turn off the Poetry to exit Partner Mode.

When only the Power button is pressed to turn on the Poetry, it will be in the normal mode (Single Mode).

In Partner Mode, a demo song cannot be played back and a user song cannot be recorded or played back. In addition, no Function Mode settings other than the volume balance for Partner Mode and no MIDI function mode settings can be specified.

Recording/playing back a performance

The recorder of the Poetry allows you to easily record and play back keyboard performances. This is called a user song. A user song has two parts. You can separately record the right- and left-hand parts of a song, then play back the two parts at the same time.

If you record to a part where data has already been recorded, the previous performance data will be deleted and overwritten with the new data. Therefore, before recording to a part, be sure it does not contain any data that you wish to save.

In addition, you can check each part according to the lighting status of its button.

Part button Status

MIDI

What can you do with MIDI?

Thanks to MIDI, you can use the Poetry to control other instruments, use other instruments to control the Poetry, and use a sequencer to create complex musical pieces. When you use the Poetry keyboard or pedal, or select a sound, the notes, pedal activation and change in sound are transmitted to another instrument, or are recorded by a sequencer.

Connections

Commercially available MIDI cables are used to transfer MIDI data. Connect these cables from the MIDI jacks of the Poetry to the MIDI jacks of the external MIDI device that you want to exchange data with. There are two types of MIDI jack.

MIDI IN jack

This jack receives MIDI messages.

The MIDI IN jack lets you play the Poetry's sounds from an external MIDI device (e.g., MIDI keyboard or sequencer). Use a MIDI cable to connect the Poetry's MIDI IN jack to your external MIDI device's MIDI OUT jack.

MIDI OUT jack

This jack transmits MIDI messages.

The MIDI OUT jack lets you control an external MIDI device using the MIDI messages transmitted from the Poetry. Use a MIDI cable to connect the Poetry's MIDI OUT jack to your external MIDI device's MIDI IN jack.

MIDI function mode

When the Poetry is turned on, the MIDI parameters are set to transmission channel 1, all reception channels (1-16), Local On and Multi-Timbral On. These settings can be changed from the MIDI function mode.

Setting procedure for parameters in the MIDI function mode

When sending begins from the computer, all recorded song data on the Poetry is erased.

While receiving, the Record button blinks in red, and " _ _ _ appears in the display.

When receiving is finished, the Record button goes dark (not lit), and "ddd" appears in the display.

To cancel sending/receiving, press the FUNCTION button to exit MIDI setting mode, or select a different MIDI parameter. However, if receiving is cancelled after it has already begun, all recorded song data on the Poetry will have been erased.

Recording to the Recorder

When the recorder of the Poetry is in recording standby mode, recording can be started with MIDI messages sent from an external MIDI keyboard, etc.

The performance is recorded only when Local Off is set.
- When Part 1 is in recording or recording standby mode: The performance is recorded when an event with the specified MIDI channel and a channel of +1 is received.
- When Part 2 is in recording or recording standby mode: The performance is recorded when an event with channels of +2 and +3 of the specified MIDI channel is received.

Using as a Bluetooth Speaker

If a computer, tablet, smartphone, audio player, etc., compatible with Bluetooth audio is connected, the Poetry can be used as a Bluetooth speaker.

Adjust the volume on the output from the device connected via Bluetooth audio. It cannot be adjusted with the VOLU-ME knob on the Poetry.

Note The auto power off function of the Poetry will not operate during playback of a device connected via Bluetooth audio.
Multiple devices cannot be connected at the same time.

Connecting a New Device (Pairing)

When a new device is connected, "pairing" (mutually registering connection information) must be performed.

Note The information for up to eight paired devices can be stored. When a ninth device is paired, the information for an existing device is deleted so that the new information can be stored.
Even if pairing failed, the information for that device may be stored on the Poetry. If the information for eight devices has already been stored, the information for an existing device is deleted.
In order to reconnect to the device whose information was deleted, delete the Poetry's information from that device, and then perform pairing again.

1. When the Poetry is turned on, it enters the pairing standby mode.

Pairing is enabled for only 1 minute after "120" appears in the display when the Poetry is turned on.

1. Turn on the Bluetooth function for the device to be connected, and then select "KORG Poetry" in the list of the settings screen that appears.

When a message appears, requesting permission for pairing, allow pairing.

When a passkey is requested, enter "0000".

Tip The passkey may also be called a PIN code, password, etc.

1. If pairing is successful, the connected device enters a connection-ready mode and displays a connection with "KORG Poetry".

Since the displays differ depending on the device, refer to the manual of your device.

Reconnecting to a paired device

• If the Bluetooth function for the device to be connected was turned off when the Poetry was turned on. Turn on the Bluetooth function for the device to be connected.
• If the Bluetooth function for the device to be connected was turned on when the Poetry was turned on. Turn off the Bluetooth function for the device to be connected, and then turn it on again, or select "KORG Poetry" in the list of paired devices.

If a connection cannot be established again, turn off the Bluetooth function for the device, and then turn it on again. If a connection still cannot be established, cancel pairing or delete the information from the device, and then try performing the operation described above in "Connecting a New Device (Pairing)".

Cutting the Connection

Perform the operation by using the Bluetooth settings screen on the connected device.

If the Poetry is turned off while it is connected to device, it may be difficult for the connection to be re-established the next time.

Appendix

Troubleshooting

If any of the following problems should occur, carefully examine the instrument to see if you can discern what the trouble may be, and try resolving it by following the suggestions below. If the instrument still does not function properly, please contact your dealer.

The instrument will not turn on

• Check that the AC adapter is correctly connected to the piano and the outlet.
• Make sure that the power cord is fully plugged into the AC adapter.

No sound

• Is the cable from the speaker box connected securely to the speaker connector on the Poetry?
• Be sure that the volume is set to an adequate level, and not set to the MIN value.
• Make sure that the MIDI Local function is not set on OFF (see page 18). If it is, set it to ON (or turn the instrument off and then on again).
• Check to see that nothing is connected to the headphone jacks; any connection to either of these jacks will mute the internal speakers.

Notes are interrupted or sound generation is heavy

The maximum polyphony may have been exceeded; see "About maximum polyphony."

The sound has changed.

Effects such as reverb and chorus are saved with each sound.

The effect settings that are applied differ depending on the order that sounds are selected in Layer Mode or the sounds selected for a User Song; therefore, different nuances may be heard even with the same combination of sounds. Be careful when selecting sounds.

The pitch or tone of the piano sounds wrong in some key regions

The Poetry's piano sounds replicate the sound of an actual piano as faithfully as possible. This means that in some regions of the keyboard, you may feel that certain overtones seem stronger, affecting the pitch or tone. This is not a malfunction.

Your external MIDI device does not respond to MIDI data sent from the Poetry.

Make sure that all MIDI cables are correctly connected.
Make sure that the Poetry is transmitting MIDI data on the same channel that the MIDI device is receiving on.

About maximum polyphony

If the number of notes being played simultaneously exceeds the maximum polyphony, some notes will be lost. The Poetry is equipped with a mechanism that stops the first note played to give priority to notes played later. Some Poetry sounds, although they may be a single sound, are generated by two or more oscillators (one note of a sound-generating circuit). Sounds using just one oscillator, such as the bank 1 and 2 sounds of the VIBES/GUITAR button, have a maximum polyphony of 120 notes. Sounds using two oscillators, such as the bank 1 and 2 sounds of the E.PIANO2 button, have a maximum polyphony of 60 notes.

120 ÷ Number of sound oscillators = Maximum polyphony

Keep the maximum polyphony in mind and carefully choose sounds when using Layer Mode to play two sounds simultaneously or when using the damper pedal.
