Korg Sp-500 manual Touch control, Temperaments, Pitch adjustment Transpose, Touch-View LCD screen

Touch control

Playing touch is a vital aspect of a piano’s response, and you can choose from six differ- ent touch settings. This allows the SP-500 to be played by anyone from children (who tend to have a lighter touch) to experienced pianists.

You can also select a setting in which playing dynamics will have no effect on the sound – ideal for playing organ sounds etc..

Temperaments

You can use ten different temperaments, including classical temperaments and tunings used in ethnic music. Four user scales can also be created.

Pitch adjustment (Transpose)

The Transpose function makes it easy to change the key (pitch) of your performance to match another instrument or vocal range.

MIDI

MIDI connectors allow you to connect a computer or another MIDI device. This allows you to record your playing to a computer with music software.

Touch-View LCD screen

The 64 · 240 pixel LCD graphic display makes operation intuitive and easy. Selections shown in the LCD screen can be operated simply by touching them.
