IBM PS1500 Congratulations, Multimedia Facilities, Introduction, How to use the manual

CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations and thanks for purchasing Baldwin’s Pianovelle PS1500. This instrument provides high quality sounds and accompaniments, and a simple user interface with a 2x40 LCD backlit display which allows total control of all performance and programming activities.

MULTIMEDIA FACILITIES

PS1500 is a multimedia piano workstation which offers several ways of interfacing with the instrument. With the optional Audio/Video Interface, a guitar player can connect to the Mic/Line inputs of the PS1500 and mix his sounds with those of the workstation (complete with effects processing). At the same time, a group of singers can follow the lyrics projected on a television (or other video projection device) by the

PS1500.

THE OWNER’S MANUAL

The Owner’s Manual is supplied as a 3-ring binder with instructions inserted inside.

How to use the manual

Do not use it as a paperweight: read it. If you understand how PS1500 operates, you can save a lot of

time. You are encouraged to experiment with alternative operating methods: the PS1500 is sufficiently flexible to permit several choices to obtain the same results. The User Guide offers information on three different levels of complexity: as numbered images or pictures, as brief instructions and as detailed instructions. You can limit yourself to following the images only, or by reading the bold black type, or by referring to the normal text containing detailed instructions.
