SETTING UP AND PLAYING YOUR P50-m

Powering Up

1. If you haven’t done so already, press the POWER/VOL

control on the P50-m.

2. Turn on the power of your MIDI keyboard.

3. Make sure that all volume controls (on the P50-m and the

connected amplifier) are turned down. Then, turn on the

power of your amplifier speaker system.

4. Finally, set the volume control on the P50-m to about the

midway position initially (you can raise it later if needed),

and set the volume on the amplifier to a suitable level.

Playing the Demo Song

Now that you’ve set everything up properly, try playing the built-

in Demo Song. This showcases the high-quality Voices and the

AWM2 tone generation system of the P50-m.

Simultaneously press the MASTER TUNE and NOTE SHIFT

buttons.

The Demo song for the selected Voice starts playing

immediately and repeats indefinitely until stopped (by pressing

any panel button). (The LEDs and lamps flash in a pattern dur-

ing playback.)

More about Demo Song

There are actually two Demo Song modes. In the Single

Demo Play mode (described above), the currently selected

Voice is used for the Demo song. Each Voice has its own

Demo song, specially programmed to suit and showcase

that particular Voice.

In the All Demo Play mode (described below), all Demo

songs can be played back in succession.
