THE SOUNDS
The keyboard features 131 sounds divided into 17 families (e.g. 025-032 GUITAR).
They are selected when the SOUND button is on by entering a three digit number between 001 and 131 of the SOUNDS list
you will find at the end of the Instructions Manual.
Example: for NYLON GUITAR type in number 025 (0, 2, 5with the SELECT keyboard.)
If the display shows “Disable”, this means an incorrect number has been typed in.
Sounds can be selected also by using the SELECT “+ / –” buttons.
By entering code 29 you will enable the “SELECT LOWER” function, the keyboard will be split and
you will also be able to choose different sounds for the left hand; enter the code for the chosen
sound.
IMPORTANT:With some sounds you might notice a slight difference of volume or sound quality when playing
them in different areas of the keyboard.This is an inevitable consequence of multiple sampling and not a technical problem.
THE DUAL
With the DUAL control, you can mix two sounds and create thousands of combi-
nations.
To mix press DUAL; the display shows “SoundMix1”; select a sound and press the
SOUND button: the display shows “SoundMix2”; select the second sound that
will be mixed with the first one.
To select other sounds, keep using the SOUND button.
To return to just one sound, press the DUAL button again: the display shows
“Sound”. To change the volume of the two sounds, to use the “+/–“ buttons of
VOLUME SECTION and to select the first or second sound, keep SOUND
button pressed.
THE TOUCH
By pressing the TOUCH button, you will enable and disable the keyboard’s sensiti-
vity to touch (dynamics).
THE TRANSPOSER
The TRANSPOSER +/– controls shift the whole keyboard tonality by +/– 12
semitones.
By pressing one of the two buttons, the display temporarily shows the current
value.
The TRANSPOSER variation is always indicated on the display by the “< Tr “ or “
Tr > “ signs. By simultaneously pressing the “+/–“ buttons of TRANSPOSER, you will
return to the standard 00 value.
THE PIANO
With the PIANO button, the PIANO sound and the chord identifier will be immediately enabled on the whole
keyboard.

THE METRONOME
The metronome helps you to learn the music, giving the beat during musical exercises and simulating the traditional time-marking
instrument.
It can be turned on and off with the METRONOME button.To change the tempo, use the “TEMPO +/–“ buttons.To set the volu-
me, press the STYLE or SONG button and use the VOLUME SECTION +/– button.
Chart of general BEATS for the METRONOME.
THE KEYBOARD
It has 61 professional pace keys and can be used in the following ways:
1.When simply turned on, one single sound is enabled over the whole keyboard, together with the chord identi-
fier.
2. By pressing the FULL KEYB/SPLIT button, the keyboard will be divided into two sections: one dedicated to
accompaniment to form chords (keys on the left) and the other one to play the melody (keys on the right).
It is possible to set the point where the keyboard will be divided into two modes:
a. by entering 24, the display indicates “Split 19”; this
means that the left part of the keyboard goes from the
first to the nineteenth key.
b. by entering 25, the display indicates “Split 24”; this
means that the left part of the keyboard goes from the
first to the twenty-fourth key.
The keyboard on the display shows the division point
with an arrow.
Chords can be played in the FREE CHORD mode, which means in the traditional way, or in the EASY CHORD mode, which
means in the simplified mode (see the EASY CHORD paragraph).
THE BENDING AND MODULATION CONTROLS
To the left of the keyboard there are three keys, two BEND (Pitch Bending) and one MODUL (Modulation).
When playing a note and pressing one of the two BEND keys you will hear a variation in the frequency of
the note.This simulates the “pulling” of a string on an instrument such as the guitar.The “Modulation” control
modulates the frequency of the sound.
THE SOUNDS OF THE LEFT PART OR LOWER
The sounds for the ACCOMPANIMENT, when the rhythm is not playing, can be selected by entering 29 (SELECT LOWER) and
the corresponding number in the SOUNDS list.
To set the volume of the accompaniment section,use the VOLUME SECTION
+/–buttons;
The display shows “Lower Vol” and the value of the volume.
By keeping the button pressed, the variation will continue.
To return to the standard volume, simultaneously press the +and –buttons of
the VOLUME SECTION.

When a rhythm is on function and you select a new style this latter starts at the end of the previous
rhythm pattern.
