If you wish to use headphones while playing by

yourself, plug your headphones into the top headphone output (Headphone Output 1). This will automatically turn off the speakers, so that you only hear sound through the headphones. Volume is still controlled by the Master Volume knob. Be sure the Master Volume is turned down before you put on your headphones, and then gradually turn it up to a comfortable level.

! Warning: Using headphones at high volumes can permanently damage your hearing.

Note that plugging headphones into the bottom

headphone output (Headphone Output 2) does not automatically turn off the speakers. Headphone Output 2 is designed for use at times when you wish to practice quietly together with another person (such as a student), with both people wearing headphones. In this case, the speakers will still remain off, since headphones are also plugged into Headphone Output 1.

Using the Pedals

soft sostenuto sustain So So

The pedal board has three pedals:

Pedal (Left Pedal): When this pedal is pressed, notes will sound slightly softer than they normally would if played with the same force without pressing the pedal.

Sostenuto Pedal (Middle Pedal): The Sostenuto pedal acts as a selective damper pedal by sustaining specifically chosen notes. To use it, play and hold down a note or chord. Then depress the sostenuto pedal. After releasing the keys, only those notes will continue to sustain until the sostenuto pedal is released.

Sustain Pedal (Right Pedal): When this pedal is pressed, notes will continue to sustain even after the keys are released.

Congratulations, you've learned all you need to know to be able to start enjoying your new digital piano. You can put this manual away and start playing music. If you want to learn about all the additional functionality DCP-200 has to offer (including how to play the built-in demo songs, use the metronome, and record your own songs using the built-in Song Recorder), please continue on to the "Additional Features" section.

6 Additional Features

Resetting DCP-200:

What to do if you need to start over

If you come to a point while using some of the advanced features built into DCP-200 where you are feeling a little lost and just want to start over, there are two ways to do this.

Method 1: Piano Reset

The Piano Reset Function resets selected aspects of DCP-200 back to their default factory state. These elements are carefully selected to give you a quick and easy way to restore DCP-200 back to being a simple Grand Piano once more, with the Data Control knob assigned for selecting voices.

Press the Reverb button and the Voice/Function button at the same time.

When both buttons are pressed the display will immediately change to show:

M-AUDIO DCP-200 - Method 1: Piano Reset - 1

The LED display will show this for 1 second and then return to the default display.

Now the piano is back in Performance Mode, with the Grand Piano voice selected, and the Data Control knob ready to choose other voices if you wish.

In most cases, this is all you will need to do. Any songs you have recorded in the Song Recorder will be preserved.

For detailed information regarding which MIDI commands are sent during a Piano Reset, as well as a list of which settings are saved or returned to default after a Piano Reset (or after powering DCP-200 off), please see Appendix A: Defaults.

Method 2: Factory Reset

Performing a Factory Reset will clear all battery backed memory and restore all functions to their factory defaults, just like they were when you used DCP-200 for the first time. Please note that anything you have recorded in the Song Recorder will be erased by this procedure!

Hold down the Reverb and Voice/Function buttons while powering on DCP-200.

+ ON / OFF

The LED Display will light ALL segments, and all LEDs on the device will light while these buttons are held down. Once this has happened, you can release the Reverb and Voice/Function buttons.

When the Reverb and Voice/Function buttons are released, DCP-200 will return to Performance Mode (ready-to-play). All button LEDs will return to their default states. The LED Display will show the version number of the firmware (the piano's internal operating software) for 2 seconds and then return to showing the Voice Name (Grand Piano - Pno).

DCP-200 will then function normally and as if powered on for the first time.

Using the Built-in Reverb

Your DCP-200 piano includes a built-in digital Reverb that can be used for adding a natural-sounding room ambience to any of the piano's eight voices.

Please note that time signature and Tempo cannot be changed while recording a song in Song Record Mode.

NOTE: Now the Data Control knob is assigned to control time signature instead of Voice Selection. To reassign the Data Control knob for Voice Selection, press the Voice / Function button and then press the Eb2 key. (This procedure is illustrated at the beginning of the "Edit Mode" section.) Also, keep in mind that no matter how the Data Controller knob is assigned, you can always select sounds (in Performance Mode) by holding down the Voice /Function button while turning the Data Control knob.

Performance Mode? Edit Mode?

As you read this User Guide, you will notice mention of Performance Mode and Edit Mode.

Performance Mode is the mode DCP-200 is in when first powered on. It is the mode in which you can play (or "perform" on) the keyboard.

Edit Mode is what happens any time you press the Voice/Function button. In Edit Mode, the keys do not make sound. Instead, several of the keys have a special function (as you will find referenced on the included A4 laminate sheet). When you are done editing the desired function, DCP-200 will be in Performance Mode again so you can play the keyboard.

Using the Song Recorder

The Song Recorder built into DCP-200 can record two individual tracks, allowing you to record one part and then record a second complementary part while the first part is played back.

To record a track:

1
REC PIANO RESET Reverb Voice / - Function Song Metronom RECORD Data Control [Assignable]

Press the Song button and the Metronome button simultaneously to enter Record Wait Mode. The Song button's LED will light, and the Metronome will begin playing at the currently selected tempo.

200 is now in Record Wait Mode. To start recording, begin playing the keyboard. Recording starts automatically as soon as you start playing.

NOTE: When Record Wait Mode is active, you can also start recording by pressing the Song button. In that case, the Song Recorder will record silence until you start playing the keyboard.

REC PIANO RESET Reverb Voice / Function Song Metronome RECORD Data Control [Assignable]

To end recording, press the Song button.

As mentioned at the beginning of this section, you can record to two independent tracks within each song you record. This means that you can make a recording, and after you're done, play back what you recorded while recording a complementary part on a second track. DCP-200 automates some of the track selections to make work with the Song Recorder more intuitive:

When you start recording, if data has already been recorded on track 1, the display will show b c , and the Song Recorder will record on track 2.
During recording, any notes already recorded on the other track will be played back. If you are recording on track 2, anything previously recorded on track 1 will be played back for you to play along to.
If tracks 1 and 2 both contain data, DCP-200 will automatically choose to record to the track that was NOT last recorded to. (If your last recording was on track 1, track 2 will be selected; if your last recording was on track 2, track 1 will be selected.)

To manually select a track to record to:

Adjusting Keyboard Sensitivity: 'Touch' Select Keys (F3, F#3, Ab3, Bb3)

The Touch Select control, sometimes referred to as Velocity Curve, lets you decide how the pressure with which you hit the keys determines the volume at which the notes play. DCP-200 provides you with four different keyboard sensitivity options:

- Normal (Ab3 key) is the default setting, and is designed to be useful for most players with an "average" touch (i.e.: people who play with an average amount of force). When selecting this option (explained further below), the LED display shows n or r

- Low (F#3 key) is a sensitivity setting that generates lower velocity values for the same force. This setting is useful for playing more quietly, even if you have a "heavy" touch. When selecting this option (explained further below), the LED display shows

- High (Bb3 key) is a sensitivity setting that generates higher velocity values for the same force. This setting is useful for playing more loudly, even if you have a naturally "light" touch. When selecting this option (explained further below), the LED display shows h1

- Fixed (F3 key) is a setting that effectively disables sensitivity, meaning the keyboard will generate a fixed velocity value of 100 (on a scale of 0-127) regardless of how hard or soft you play. When selecting this option (explained further below), the LED display shows Fd

9 MIDI Functions

If you are an advanced MIDI user, this section will help you to access the MIDI controller capabilities of DCP-200. If you already know that you need this specialized functionality, then this section is for you. However, this information is not necessary in order to enjoy playing the piano. A good rule to keep in mind is: If you don't know what a function described in this section is, then you probably don't need it.

MIDI, or Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is the way most electronic keyboards communicate with computers and with each other. Through a series of MIDI messages a computer or keyboard can tell an instrument what note to play, how loud to play it, when to stop playing it, and a host of other information.

DCP-200 can send MIDI information to a computer or another MIDI-capable instrument, via its MIDI or USB output. This enables DCP-200 to act as a controller keyboard for another instrument, MIDI sequencer or MIDI-enabled Digital Audio Workstation program. You can even use DCP-200 to directly input notes onto a musical score using the included Sibelius First notation software.

Local On/Off (C#3)

Turning the Local On/Off function to Off will disconnect the keyboard from the internal sound engine of DCP-200. This means you can use DCP-200 as a MIDI controller to control other MIDI devices (or virtual instrument software running on your computer) without playing the internal sounds of DCP-200. You may also find other occasions (such as when you are using MIDI sequencing software on your computer) where it is useful to turn Local off.

For example: If you decided that instead of using the sounds built into the included Sibelius First music notation software, you would rather use the sounds built into DCP-200, you would choose DCP-200 as the Playback Device in Sibelius (note that DCP-200 will show up as “USB Audio Device” on Windows XP computers). You would then want to switch Local On/Off to “off” on the DCP-200 to avoid note “doubling” (where notes you play on DCP-200 actually play twice at almost the same time, diminishing the available polyphony).

10 Care and Maintenance

As with all furniture, avoid placing items directly on the piano (such as drink glasses, potted plants, etc.) that may cause moisture damage to the piano's finish.

Cleaning should be done with a soft, dry cloth (or if necessary, a slightly damp cloth). Chemical cleaning products should not be used, as they may harm the piano's finish.

11 Troubleshooting

Your DCP-200 digital piano has been tested under a wide variety of conditions to ensure trouble-free performance. In the event that you do experience any difficulty, this section provides tips to help resolve some basic issues you may encounter.

Problem: My piano keyboard is working correctly, but the pedals do not seem to be working.

Solution: Make sure the Pedal Board cable is firmly connected to the Pedal Connector on the piano's rear panel.

Problem: My piano is on with the volume turned up, but I do not hear any sound when I play the keyboard.

Solution 1: Local On/Off may be set to Off, or the currently selected voice's volume may be turned down. In either case, a Piano Reset will fix the problem. To do a Piano reset, press the Reverb button and the Voice/Function button at the same time.

Solution 2: If the Master Volume knob is turned up, but you do not hear sound from the piano's built-in speakers, make sure nothing is plugged into Headphone Output 1.

Problem: When I turn on the piano, the LED display does not light up, and I do not hear any sound.

Solution: Make sure one end of the AC cable is connected to the jack on the piano's rear panel, and that the other end is plugged into an electrical outlet. If the AC cable is plugged into a power strip, make sure the power strip is switched on.

Problem: My piano is not recognized by my music software.

Solution: The USB cable between the computer and the DCP-200 piano must be connected (and the piano powered on) before the music software is launched.

With the USB cable connected and DCP-200 powered on, try quitting the software and then launching it again.

Refer to the documentation which came with your software to learn how to make sure DCP-200 is properly selected within the software.

Note that on Windows XP computers, DCP-200 will show up as "USB Audio Device."
