Piano

Fixed

Notes are sounded at an

 

 

unchanging volume level,

 

 

regardless of how lightly

 

 

or forcefully you finger

 

 

the keyboard.

 

 

 

E.Piano

Light

Fortissimo (ff) can be ob-

 

 

tained with weaker touch

 

 

than usual, so, you will

 

 

feel that the keyboard is

 

 

lighter. This setting makes

 

 

it easy to play, even for

 

 

children.

 

 

 

Harpsi-

Medium

This is the most natural

chord

 

touch for the keyboard.

 

 

This is the closest to the

 

 

touch of an acoustic piano.

 

 

 

Organ

Heavy

Fortissimo (ff) can be ob-

 

 

tained only with forceful

 

 

playing, so you will feel

 

 

that the keyboard is heavi-

 

 

er. Dynamic fingering

 

 

adds even more feeling to

 

 

what you play.

 

 

 

* The [Strings] button cannot be used in this operation.

Disabling Buttons

(Panel Lock)

Making the setting for the panel lock enables a state where only piano play is possible, and all buttons are disabled. As the settings are not changed, this is convenient for piano performances.

PianoPower

While holding down...

Turn the power ON

1.Before you switch on the power, turn the volume down all the way by rotating the [Volume] knob.

2.While holding down the [Piano] button, press the [Power] switch to turn on the power.

3.Adjust the volume.

Fingering the keyboard now produces a grand piano sound. It will be not possible to switch to another sound.

4.By turning the power off and then on once again, the keyboard returns to its normal status with Panel Lock cancelled.

3.Press the [ (Metronome)] button or the [Demo] button.

The button’s indicator returns to its previous state.
