EFFECT: Is used to select one of four modulation effects (CHORUS, FLANGER, TREMOLO, DELAY) for the selected sound. An LED shows which effect is currently active. If no LED lights up, no modulation effect is active.
VELOCITY: Is used to set the key velocity to SOFT, MEDIUM or HARD. An LED shows which setting is currently active.
If no LED lights up, no key velocity has been selected and playing a key always triggers a fixed volume level, irrespective of how hard you play the key.
TRANSPOSE : Is used for setting keyboard/pitch transposition.

Fig. 4.2 Connectors of the EG2080
LINE OUT: There are two LINE OUT jacks available to send signals from the EG2080 to other equipment.
1/4" jacks: Use the 1/4" jacks to route the sounds of devices connected to the LINE IN jacks to the output of the EG2080. The level of the output signal depends on the position of the MAIN VOLUME control.
RCA jacks: The RCA jacks solely provide the sounds of the EG2080, but at a fixed volume level. Signals fed in via the LINE IN jack are not present here.
LINE IN: Is used to connect feeding devices such as CD players, sound cards or drum computers. The connected signal sources are routed to the LINE OUT 1/4" jacks and to the
MIDI: The three MIDI jacks enable you to connect external MIDI devices such as synthesizers, sequencers, etc. to the EG2080.
MIDI data controlling the sound generator of the EG2080 are received at the IN jack.
MIDI data generated by the keyboard, pedals and some control elements of the EG2080 are sent from the OUT jack.
Use the THRU jack to route MIDI data received at the MIDI IN to the MIDI OUT without changing them. This jack can be used to connect additional MIDI devices.
PEDALS: Connector for the pedal unit of the EG2080.
4.3 Foot pedals
The EG2080 has three pedals similar to those found on acoustic grand pianos.
Soft/Piano pedal: Is used for passages to be played very softly.
Sostenuto pedal: Is used to sustain tones that have been played before the pedal is pressed, but have not yet decayed. All tones played after the pedal is pressed decay normally.
Damper/Forte pedal: Is used to sustain tones already played but not yet decayed. All tones played after the pedal is pressed will also be sustained.
4.4 Power supply
POWER: Switches the EG2080 on and off.
Merely switching the unit off does not mean that it is fully disconnected from the mains. If you do not plan to use your piano for a prolonged period of time, please disconnect it from the mains by unplugging the power cable from the wall outlet.
LED: Lights up when the EG2080 is ready for operation.
4.5 Headphone connectors
The headphone connectors are located on the underside of the playing console (front left).
