Basic Operation

RecorderThis instrument allows songs to be recorded and played back. This instrument is equipped with an Internal Recorder to record/playback songs to/from internal memory, and a USB Recorder to record/playbacksongs to/from USB memory device.

▋ Recording format
Internal memory

USB memory device• Internal format• MP3 format
Bitrate: 256 kbit/s fixed, Sampling frequency: 44.1 kHz, Stereo• WAV format
Sampling frequency: 44.1 kHz, 16 bit, Stereo▋ Internal Recorder• This instrument allows up to 10 songs to be recorded, stored in internal memory.
Each song consists of two separate parts.
This allows the right hand and left hand to be recorded into separate parts and played back separately for practicing one hand.
These parts can also be played back together.
• When a song is recorded to the song memory containing performance data, the existing performance data will be overwritten by
the new performance data.
• When recording into part 2 without playing back part 1 which is already recorded, set part 2 to be played back in song recordermode.
• The total recording capacity of this instrument is approximately 90,000 notes.
The LED indicators for the [PLAY/STOP] button and [REC] button turn off and recording stops if the memory becomes full while
recording.
Performances are recorded until immediately before the recorder stops.
RecorderRough guide for the total recording capacity:
For example, if the total recording capacity is 5,000 notes, Beethoven’s Für Elise can be recorded three to four times, orrecording of 10 to 15 minutes is possible.
However, the recording time varies depending on the number of notes in the piece and tempo of the piece.
The recording time is also affected by the number of times the pedal is depressed because the recorder records pedal
operations, too.
• The recorded contents are not erased by turning this instrument off.

▋ Recording to a USB memory device• This instrument is capable of recording performances directly to a USB memory device in audio format.
• The USB Recorder will also capture Bluetooth audio sound, allowing the performances played with backing music to be recorded.
Sound from the LINE IN connectors will not be capturedby the USB Recorder.

▋ Panel operations while recording with the Internal Recorder• The sound selected before recording, and sounds selected during recording will be stored.
• Changes to the effect settings will not be stored.
• The tempo setting will not be stored.

▋ Files that can be played backThis instrument can play back the following data:• Songs that are recorded to store in internal memory.
• SMF files stored in a USB memory device (Format 0, Format 1)• KSO files stored in a USB memory device (internal song format files)• MP3 files stored in a USB memory device (Bitrate: 8~320 kbps, Sampling frequency: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, or 32 kHz, Stereo)• WAV files stored in a USB memory device (Sampling frequency: 44.1 kHz, 16 bit, Stereo)

17 Temperament
In addition to the most common equal temperament, this instrument can be set with early tuning systems used in the Renaissance and Baroque eras.

▋ Temperament types
Description

Equal Temperament(Equal)The most common tuning system for the modern pianos. This allows the consistent harmonies regardless of modulations and transpositions.

Pure Temperament(Pure Major/Pure Minor)

The tuning system that eliminated impurity from the most important third and fifth intervals. Therefore, third and fifth sound pure; however, other intervals may sound impure.
Use this system by specifying the tonic of the piece to be played.

Pythagorean Temperament(Pythagorean)

The tuning system that eliminated impurity from most of fifth intervals. Although chords
sound impure due to the impurity in third intervals, the system brings out the character of
melodies.

Meantone Temperament(Meantone)

The tuning system that incorporated slight impurity in fifth intervals in order to eliminate
impurity from the most important major third intervals. This system was commonly used forearly keyboard music.

Werckmeister Temperament(Werckmeister)
Kirnberger Temperament(Kirnberger)

This tuning system makes keys with fewer key signatures sound closer to the Meantone
Temperament which produces chords purer, and keys with more key signatures sound closer to the Pythagorean Temperament which brings out the character of melodies. This reflects the “character of keys” intended by the classical composers.

User Temperament(User)The original temperament can be set between -50 and +50 cents.

Troubleshooting▋ Power (Settings)
ProblemPossible Cause and SolutionPage

The instrument does not turnon.

Check to see if the main connector of this instrument, AC adaptor, and power outlet
are properly connected.

P13

The instrument turned itself
off all of a sudden.
The instrument turned off byitself.

Check to see if the “Auto Power Off” function is not enabled.

P50

The display turned off all of asudden.

When the time to turn off the display is specified in the “Auto Display Off” function,
the display will automatically turn off after the preset time. Pressing any of the control
buttons will turn on the display again.

P50

ProblemPossible Cause and SolutionPage

No sound is coming out.

• Check to see whether the volume has been set to the lowest level.
• Check to see whether a pair of headphones or a headphone conversion plug havebeen connected to the [PHONES] jacks.
• Check to see whether “Local Control” has been turned off.

P14

Sounds get distorted in certain
performances or at specificranges.

For some performances, increasing the volume may cause the sound to be distorted.
If this happens, reduce the volume.

P14

The pitch or sound quality ofcertain piano tones is odd.

The built-in piano tones are designed to reproduce the tones created by an acoustic
grand piano as accurately as possible. Since the pianos produce a rich variety of resonance, the way the sound is perceived changes depending on the location or environment. The way the sound is perceived also changes when a single key is pressed andwhen the same key is pressed in the flow of a song. For this reason, strong overtones
may be heard in some ranges, or the pitch and sound quality may seem odd.
But this is normal.

The volume is different foreach key.

Adjust the volume of keys as needed in the Key Volume setting.

P60

Some keys are out of tune.

Adjust these keys using User Tuning.

P59

There is a noise or metallic
sound.

Adjust using Tone Control, Fall-back Noise, and/or Damper Noise.

P48
P56
P55

Sound is muffled, or piercing.

Adjust using Topboard Simulation, Tone Control, Touch Curve, and/or Voicing.

P48
P53
P54

There is a noise when releasing
keys.

Adjust Fall-back Noise and/or Key-off Effect.

P56
P56

The high frequency notes
sustain longer even when thedamper pedal is not pressed.

This is normal.
The highest keys on an acoustic piano (shown below) are not equipped with the soundsuppressor dampers.
This instrument replicates this behaviour precisely and allows the sound of the keys
without dampers to sustain longer even when the damper pedal is not pressed.

▋ Sound/Performance

Troubleshooting

No damper is attached

The pedal does not work at
all, or it does not produce thesame effect each time.

Check to see if the pedal cable is properly connected to the instrument. Even when
they are connected, try unplugging the cable and inserting it again to make sure.

79

Appendix
ProblemPossible Cause and SolutionPage

The pedals are unstable.

Check that the adjustor is set to an appropriate height.

P12

There is a noise when pressing
the pedal.

A sound of undamped strings occurs when the damper pedal is pressed regardless ofwhether keys are pressed or not. This is not a fault.

▋ Connection
ProblemPossible Cause and SolutionPage

The instrument is unable toconnect to a smart device.

• Check to see if the instrument’s Bluetooth function is enabled.
• Use the application’s settings to connect, instead of the Bluetooth setting of the smart
device.

P78

Connection fails for the paired
smart device.

If the connection gets cut off immediately after pairing, turn off the Bluetooth setting
on the smart device and turn it back on, then try connecting the device again.

P78

The name of the piano does
not appear in the smart device.

It’s possible that another device is connected to the piano’s Bluetooth MIDI/Bluetooth
Audio. Press and hold the [LEFT] button and [EFFECTS] button on the Home screen tocancel pairing.

P77

Unable to send recorded performance of built-in songs.

Recorded performances of built-in songs will not output from Bluetooth MIDI.

▋ Playing back a song

Troubleshooting

80

ProblemPossible Cause and SolutionPage

The playback of a lesson songdoes not start.

Select a song and then press the [PLAY/STOP] button.

P37

No sound is coming out whenplaying back a song (MP3 or
WAV).

Check that the volume of the USB Recorder is not 0.

Cannot play back songs saved
in a USB memory device.

The data format may be incompatible.
Transfer speed of the USB memory device may be too slow for playing back audio files.
Try another USB memory device that supports USB2.0 Hi-Speed.

P17

The volume of the MP3 or WAV
audio file is too quiet, or too
loud (distorted).

Adjust the recording level setting.

P21

Unintended sound comes out
when playing back an SMF file.
No sound is coming out whenplaying back an SMF file.

This instrument is not GM compatible.
Therefore, the file may be played with different sounds from GM devices or not played
at all depending on the sounds. This is not a fault.
