Preparation

PedalsAs with a grand piano, this piano features threepedals. These pedals produce the following effects.

Damper pedal (right pedal)

sladeP

Depressing this pedal sustains the sound after one’s hands have been lifted from the keyboard – greatly enriching
the piano sound, while also assisting smooth “legato” passages.
The sustain pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling.

Sostenuto pedal (centre pedal)

Depressing this pedal after playing the keyboard and before releasing the keys, sustains the sound of only thosenotes that were played at that moment. Any keys that are subsequently played after the sostenuto pedal isdepressed will not be sustained.

Soft pedal (left pedal)

Depressing this pedal softens the sound, reducing its volume. When the Jazz Organ sound is selected, the soft
pedal is also used to alternate the speed of the rotary simulation between “Slow” and “Fast” effect modes.
CHECK
Depending on the sound, the effect may be difficult to notice.

Adjustor Bolt
An adjustor bolt is attached to the pedal board.
Make sure to turn the adjustor bolt until it makes
full contact with the floor. The pedal board may bedamaged if the adjustor bolt is not in full contact
with the floor or is too strongly pressed against thefloor.

Grand Feel Pedal System

This digital piano features the Grand Feel Pedal System, which replicates the sustain, soft, and sostenuto pedal
weighting of an SK-EX Concert Grand piano.

Internal RecorderThis instrument allows up to 10 songs to be recorded and stored in internal memory.
The total recording capacity of this instrument is approximately 90,000 notes.
Performances are recorded until immediately before the recorder stops.
The Recorder will capture sound changes during recording.
The Recorder will capture switching to Dual or Split playing mode.
The Recorder will not capture changes to the Metronome tempo settings made during the recording.
Performances will be recorded at the tempo specified immediately before recording.
CHECK
Approximate guide for the total recording capacity:
For reference, a 5000 note recorder capacity would be sufficient to record the Beethoven piece ‘Für Elise’approximately 3-4 times, which is the equivalent of 10 to 15 minutes or recording. However, the total
recording time will change depending on the number of notes played and the tempo of the piece. In
addition, pedal presses will also influence the maximum recording length, with each pedal press theequivalent of one note.

Recording to a USB memory device

redroceRThis instrument is capable of recording performances directly to a USB memory device in audio format.
When recording a WAV or MP3 audio file to a USB memory device, the metronome/drum rhythm sound will not
be recorded.

About Rendering sounds
The sound of a grand piano is comprised of various elements that interact to create a rich, harmonious
tone.
Rendering sounds reproduce different types of pianos by reconstructing each of these elements using a
combination of high-resolution multi-channel sampling and advanced modelling algorithms.

Operation
As with an acoustic piano, the digital piano produces a louder sound when
the keys are struck with force, and a softer sound when the keys are
Touch Curve
played gently. The volume and tonal character change in relation to thestrength and velocity of playing on the keyboard is referred to as a “touch
curve”.
The Touch Curve setting allows the touch sensitivity of the keyboard to beconveniently adjusted. There are ten different preset touch curve settings
available. On an acoustic piano, the shape, density, and texture of thehammers all influence the tonal character of the instrument’s sound.
Voicing
Technicians utilise a variety of tools such as needles, files, and brushes tomanipulate these hammer felts, with the ultimate goal of achieving abalanced tonal character across the keyboard. The Voicing setting
recreates various hammer properties, allowing the overall tonal characterof the digital piano to be adjusted.
On an acoustic piano, the strings vibrate when the keyboard is played or
the pedals are depressed, creating a rich resonance. In addition, theresonance sound changes in a complicated manner according to theResonance Rendering
keyboard touch and the state of the pedals. The Resonance Rendering
setting allows the overall resonance effect of the SK-EX Rendering soundengine to be adjusted.
When the damper pedal of an acoustic piano is pressed and released, it isoften possible to hear the sound of the damper head touching andreleasing the strings. The digital piano reproduces this sound, with theDamper Noise
Damper Noise setting allowing the volume of this sound to be adjusted.
The speed at which the damper pedal is pressed and released will also
influence the prominence of the damper noise, with fast pedalling
creating a more pronounced sound.
The dampers of an acoustic piano span almost the full width of the
keyboard. However, the topmost 18 keys (approximately 1.5 octaves) do
not incorporate dampers, as the shorter strings for these treble notes
decay quickly and therefore do not need to be dampened. As a result, theof these “undamped” treble notes are free to vibrate in

sympathetic resonance with those of lower keys independently of thedamper pedal position – helping to enrich the sound with additional
harmonics and tonal colour. The digital piano recreates this phenomenon,

When playing an acoustic piano – particularly in the bass region of the keyboard – if
a key is played with force and released quickly, it is often possible to hear the faintKey-off Effectsound of the damper touching the strings immediately before the vibrations are

When playing an acoustic piano, it is often possible to hear the faint sound of theaction returning (i.e., “falling back”) to the neutral position after a key is

The digital piano recreates this delay, with the Hammer Delay setting allowing thedelay length to be adjusted.
When playing an acoustic grand piano, the position of the instrument’s topboard
Topboard(lid) affects both the volume and “openness” of the tone produced. The digital piano
simulates these characteristics, with five different topboard positions.
In a grand piano, the length of the decay time of the sound after playing the
keyboard differs depending on the length of the strings. The digital piano
Decay Timereproduces this characteristic, with the Decay Time setting allowing the length of
decay while keys are pressed to be adjusted.
With a grand piano, the length of time at which the sound decays after the keyboard
is released differs depending on the size of the instrument. The digital piano

TemperamentType
Description
Equal
This temperament is the most popular tuning method, and divides the scale into twelve
Temperamentequal semi-tones. This produces the same chordal intervals in all twelve keys, and has(Equal)the advantage of limitless modulation of the key.
This temperament, which eliminates dissonances for thirds and fifths, is still popular in
Pure Temperament
music because of its perfect harmony. Any key modulation will result in(Pure Major/Pure Minor) choral
dissonances.
Pythagorean Temperament This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate dissonance for fifths, is(Pythagorean)
very limited for use with chords, but produces very characteristic melodic lines.
This temperament, which uses a mean between a major and minor whole tone to
Meantone Temperament eliminate dissonance for thirds, was devised to eliminate the lack of consonances(Meantone)
experienced with certain fifths for the Mersenne pure temperament, producing a soundthat was widely used in instruments of previous periods.
These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and Pythagorean. For music
Werckmeisterwith few accidentals, this temperament produces the beautiful chords of the mean
Temperament
tone, but as accidentals increase, the temperament produces the characteristic(Werckmeister)
melodies of the Pythagorean temperament. It is used primarily for classical music
written in the Baroque era to revive the original characteristics.
User Temperament
A custom temperament, created by raising or lowering the pitch of each note in the(User)

The sound distorts when performing certain pieces or in certain registers

If the volume is increased, the sound may be distorted when performance certain pieces. In this case, turn down
the volume before playing the instrument.

The volume differs depending on the key pressed

Adjust the volume of the problematic key using the Key Volume parameter in the VPA advanced settings menu.

The pitch of certain keys sounds incorrect

Adjust the pitch of the problematic key using the User Tuning parameter in the VPA advanced settings menu.

There is noise or a metallic soundAdjust the sound using the Tone Control setting, or the Fall-Back Noise or Damper Noise parameters in the VPA
advanced settings menu.

The sound seems muffled/the sound is shrill

Adjust the sound using the Tone Control setting, or the Topboard, Touch Curve, or Voicing parameters in the VPA
advanced settings menu.

The sustain pedal is not depressed but the sound in the topmost 18 notes of the
keyboard are still sustainedThis is not abnormal. On an acoustic grand piano, the keys in the higher register of the keyboard do not havedampers attached to stop the strings vibrating. This digital piano faithfully reproduces this characteristic, allowing
the sound of the topmost keys of the keyboard to be sustained without the damper pedal pressed.

PedalsThe pedals make a noise when they are depressed
The pedals are ineffective

Check that the pedal cable is correctly connected to the instrument. Even if it is connected, disconnect the pedal
cable and then securely reconnect it.
