This section explains the locations and functions of the panel buttons and sliders.

FRONT PANEL

zCONCERT MAGIC

Press the CONCERT MAGIC button to enjoy listening to or performing a collection of pre-programmed piano songs. Concert Magic will provide the correct melody and accompaniment notes, regardless of which keys are pressed. Anybody, young or old, can enjoy Concert Magic from the moment they sit down at the CN piano (page 21).

zLESSON

Press the LESSON button to access the etudes or Alfred lesson books (USA, Canada, UK, AU only), for an enjoyable piano lesson experience (page 28).

zLED DISPLAY

The LED display provides useful information such as the currently selected sound type. It also shows values or status when other functions are active.

zVALUE

These two buttons are used to change the value for various functions.

zMASTER VOLUME

This slider controls the piano’s master volume level.

Move this slider to the right to increase the volume and move it to the left to decrease the volume.

This slider also controls the headphone volume and the LINE output level of the piano’s sound.

zSOUND SELECT

Press the SOUND SELECT button below the name of the instrument to be played. When the button is pressed, an LED indicator will turn on, indicating that the sound has been selected (page 12).

PEDALS

The CN piano has three pedals—just like a grand piano. They are Sustain, Sostenuto and Soft.

Soft pedal

Sustain pedal

Sostenuto pedal

¡Sustain pedal

Sustains the sound after hands are lifted from the keyboard. The sustain pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling.

¡Sostenuto pedal

Depressing this pedal after playing the keyboard and before releasing the keys sustains the sound of only the keys just played. Any keys that are pressed after the Sostenuto pedal is depressed will not be sustained after the keys are released.

¡Soft pedal

Depressing this pedal softens the sound and reduces its volume. When the rotary effect is active the soft pedal is used to change the speed of the rotor between slow and fast.
