KR-11 Owner’s Manual—Function Menu

10. Function Menu

The Basic, Piano, and Organ screens provide access to several convenient functions you can take advantage of to opti-

mize your KR-11’s response.

Operating procedure for the Function Menu

1.Press <Func...>.

The Function menu will appear on the screen.

2.Select a function with the buttons below the display.

3.Set the function with the buttons to the side of the display.

Simultaneously press <▲> and <▼> to revert to the default setting. The display automatically returns to the previous page after several seconds of inaction. If you can’t wait to do something else, press the [EXIT] button.

If you want to cancel the operation, press the [EXIT] button before changing the settings.

10.1 Piano screen functions

Metronome volume and beat

1.Press <Metronome>.

“Volume” (1~10) and “Beat” will be displayed.

The velocity of the last note you played is displayed on the left-hand side of the screen. You can refer to this when setting the touch as you play the keyboard.

2.Move the arrow (▼) with the buttons to the right of the screen.

Each time you move the arrow, the touch level changes. The velocity sensitivity and the arrow corre- spond in the following way:

Super

Playing fortissimo doesn’t require much strength.

Light

 

 

 

Light

Little strength is required to play fortissimo.

 

 

Medium

Normal setting. Velocity sensitivity closest to that of

(Center)

an acoustic piano.

 

 

 

Select this setting for maximum expressiveness: even

 

small variations of the force with which you strike a

Heavy

key produce audible changes. The trade-off is that

 

you have to strike the keys forcefully to achieve the

 

maximum volume.

 

 

Fixed

This setting means that all notes are sounded with the

same volume and timbre.

 

 

 

Note: You can also change the velocity sensitivity using the Utility Menu (see page 48).

Tuning

You can select the tuning of the keyboard.

1. Press <Tuning>.

2.Adjust the volume and beat (time signature) with the buttons next to the display.

Note: The volume is set to “5” when the power is turned on.

The available Beat settings are: 0/4, 2/4, 3/4~7/4, 3/8, 6/8, 9/8, 12/8. The metronome always uses the time signature of the last Music Style you selected, so that you can set the Beat by selecting a Style with the appropriate time signature.

Note: You cannot change the Beat in the Arranger mode or when you are using the Composer function.

Key Touch (velocity sensitivity)

You can adjust the way in which the KR-11 translates the velocity data.

1.Press <Key Touch>.

The touch level will appear in the right half of the screen. Refer to this scale when making settings as you play on the keyboard.

■Stretch Tuning

“Stretch Tuning” is a method of tuning unique to pianos. Compared with equal tuning, low notes are tuned slightly lower, while high notes are tuned slightly higher. At power on, this parameter is set to On.

2.Set the Stretch Tuning ON/OFF with the buttons to the left of the display.

ON— Like an acoustic piano, the low range is a little flat, and the upper range a little sharp.

OFF — The tuning of all notes has not been adjusted.

■Temperament

“Temperament” refers to alternative ways of tuning an instrument. Some of the options provided here allow you to play Baroque and Classical pieces with the tuning of those periods.

3.Set the tuning method with the buttons to the right of the display.

You can choose from the following seven types of tuning.
