Chapter 5. Changing Various Settings

■Setting the Tuning Curve

(Stretch Tuning)

A piano is generally tuned to a pitch with a lower bass range and a higher treble range than equal temperament. This special tuning method for pianos is called “Stretch Tuning.”

If you press the [Harpsichord] button in step 2 of “Making Detailed Settings (Function)” (p. 26), a display like the following will appear.

Values

 

OFF

This is the standard tuning curve. This is the right

 

choice when using Dual play (p. 12), or when

 

playing in ensemble with other instruments.

On

This tuning curve expands the bass and treble

 

ends somewhat. It is suitable for performances

 

such as piano solos. This setting is in effect when

 

you turn on the power.

Power-up default setting On

→This effect works only with the piano tones.

■Applying the Damper Pedal to

the Left-hand Keyboard Area

When you are using Split play (p. 13), you can apply the damper pedal effect to the sound played by the left-hand keyboard range.

If you press the [Organ] button in step 2 of “Making Detailed Settings (Function)” (p. 26), a display like the following will appear.

Values

 

On

The damper pedal effect will be applied to the

 

sound of the left and right hand keyboard area.

OFF

The damper pedal effect will not be applied to the

 

sound of the left-hand keyboard area.

Power-up default setting OFF

Preventing the Settings from Changing During Performance

■Disabling Everything Except

Piano Play (Panel Lock)

The “Panel Lock” function locks the HP-2 in a state where only piano performance can be used, and all buttons will be disabled. This prevents the settings from being inadvertently modified even if children press the buttons accidentally.

In the Panel Lock state, only the grand piano sound can be played.

1.Turn the volume to the minimum, and press the [Power] switch to turn off the power.

2.Hold down the [Piano] button and press the [Power] switch to turn on the power.

Then, continue to hold down these two buttons for a few seconds.

The following display will appear.

fig.disp—-

All buttons are disabled.

Adjust the volume.

When you play the keyboard, the grand piano sound will be heard.

To defeat the Panel Lock function, turn the volume down to the minimum, and turn on the power once again.

■Disabling the Buttons When Using a Tone Other Than Piano

(Tone Lock)

Even when using Tones other than the Piano, you can set the instrument so all of its buttons are disabled (the settings in effect at that time will be maintained). That way, you won't get switched to the wrong settings if you inadvertently press a few buttons while you’re playing.

1.Hold down the [Brilliance] button and press the [Key Touch] button.

The song or the metronome sound that is playing will stop.

The following will appear in the display:

fig.disp—-

All buttons are disabled while the instrument is set like this. To cancel the Tone Lock function, once again hold down the [Brilliance] button while you press the [Key Touch] button. Alternatively, you can lower the instrument’s volume all the way and switch its power off. Then, turn it on again.
