NOTE

The digital piano is equipped with only two pedals. The left-hand pedal can be switched between soft and sostenuto. The pedal effect applied by MIDI data depends on whether data is being sent or received.

Send: Pressing the left pedal sends data that corresponds to the current pedal effect setting (soft or sostenuto).

Receive: Pedal effect is applied in accordance with the data received.

MIDI Settings

1Send Channel

Use this setting to specify one of the MIDI channels (1 through

16)as the Send Channel for sending MIDI messages to an external device.

2Local Control

This setting controls whether or not power is cut off internally from the digital piano’s keyboard and sound source. Turning off Local Control cuts off power to the keyboard and source, which means that the digital piano does not produce any sound when played. This comes in handy when you want to turn off the digital piano’s keyboard and use its auto accompaniment feature to accompany an external sequencer or other device.

1 While holding down the CONTROL button, press one the keyboard keys shown below to configure the setting you want.
