3. THE PEDALS
The instrument has three pedals which allow you to add
expression to your performances. The effects and noises
generated by operating these as pedals are as lifelike as
possible, to provide optimal simulation of the sounds of a real
acoustic piano.
•DAMPER Pedal: when this pedal is pressed, the notes
played have no release, so they will sound until the strings
cease to vibrate, like in a real piano. When the pedal is
released, the notes being played will stop sounding at once.
As well as this, with the pedal pressed and with the three acoustic piano voices (Grand
Piano, Classical Piano and Rock Piano) active, the instrument simulates the
“sympathetic” strings vibration and resonance, and the noise of the damper. Both these
effects can be regulated using functions F5.2 and F5.3 in the Function menu (point
14.6). The pedal operates as a continuous cotroller, so if it is only partially depressed,
the level of these effects will be reduced.
•SOSTENUTO pedal: like the Damper, this pedal only annuls the release of the notes
pressed when the pedal itself is operated. Subsequent notes will sound in the normal
way. When the pedal is released, the notes which are still sounding because of the
Sustain will stop. This pedal is useful when you wish to sustain a chord (meaning that
the pedal should be depressed with the notes of the chord also depressed), and then
play subsequent notes in the normal way.
•SOFT Pedal: The Soft pedal reduces the volume of the notes played when it is pressed.
In the J.Organ 1 and 2 voices, this pedal selects the speed (Slow-Fast) of the Rotary
effect. The F5.1 function (point 14.6) in the Function menu also allows you to enable
the Soft pedal to provide the sequencer Start-Stop commands.
4. [HOST SELECT] selector: selector for setting the port ([MIDI] or [TO HOST]) to be
used for transmitting and receiving MIDI data. For further information about this function,
refer to chap. 15.
5. [MIDI] connectors: these three connectors allow the piano to be connected to other
MIDI instruments. These connectors allow:
-[IN]: reception of MIDI data transmitted by other units.
-[OUT]: transmission of the MIDI data generated by the piano.
-[THRU]: transmission of the MIDI data received by the [IN] connector for cascade
connection with other units.
Set the [HOST SELECT] selector on “MIDI” to transmit and receive data by means of
the [MIDI] connectors.
6. [AC INPUT] connector: connect the power supply lead supplied with
the instrument to this connector.

4. DEMO SONGS
The piano has some demonstration tracks created in our studios to allow you to fully
appreciate the quality of your piano’s voices and sound.
NOTES
The sequencer cannot be activated while the demos are being played.
Performance of the demos does not trigger transmission of the relative
MIDI messages on the [MIDI OUT] and [TO HOST] ports.
Press the DEMO button in order to recall the demonstration pieces. The Led of the voices
will start flashing.
By pushing the button of the choosen voice the Led will stop flashing and will light.
The instrument will start to execute the musical piece.
During the execution of the demonstration piece, fl you press the button of another voice,
the musical piece will be interrupted and it will be executed the demonstration piece of the
last voice you have choosen. In order to stop the execution of the demonstration piece,
press button Start/Stop or the button of the voice. The led will start flashing again and you
have to push button Demo in order to stop this function.
To exit from the Demo mode definitively, press the [DEMO] button.
4.1 DEMONSTRATION TIMBRE OF PIANO ACOUSTIC EFFECTS
Pushing the button Grand Piano and at the same time the Demo button, it will be
possibile to listen to the typical noise of a Grand Piano included in the sounds of Grand
Piano, Classical and Rock Piano sothat they will be as much as possibile realistic.
To listen to these effects, press:
•Keyboard keys A0 to B3: sympathetic vibration of the strings
•Keyboard keys C4 to C8: hammer noise
•DAMPER Pedal: noise of the string damper
To return to the normal operating mode, press any voice button except [GRAND PIANO].

5. PLAYING THE PIANO’S VOICES
5.1 SWITCHING ON THE INSTRUMENT
After connecting the [AC INPUT] connector to a power socket, switch the piano on using
the [POWER] switch on the right-hand side of the front panel.
When the instrument is switched on, the setup present before its last switch-off will be
recalled.
When the instrument is switched on for the first time or a Factory Reset has been performed,
the Grand Piano voice will be activated.
As well as this, the display will show:
showing the current metronome tempo, in this case 120 bpm (Beats Per Minute). To start
the metronome, press the [METRONOME] button.
Further information about the metronome is provided in chap. 12.
5.2 SELECTING THE VOICES
The instrument is now ready to be played. The keyboard features a dynamic response
allowing you to control the volume and timbre of the voice you are playing.
You can also adjust this dynamic response using the [KEY TOUCH] buttons (for more
information, see chap. 8).
NOTE
As well as being regulated by the dynamic curve selected using the [KEY
TOUCH] buttons, the keyboard’s dynamic response also depends on the
type of voice selected.
In addition, the Harpsichord, Jazz Organ 1 and 2 and Church Organ voices
have fixed touch, reflecting the characteristics of the original instrument.
The [VOLUME] and [BRILLIANCE] sliders on the left of the panel
allow you to control the piano’s general volume and the brilliance
of its sound.

Concerto
User Manual
To change the voice you wish to use, simply press the button of the voice of your choice:
The LED of the new voice will come on and you can play the new instrument.
6. THE REVERBS
The instrument has four reverb effects allowing optimal simulation of the way
sound is diffused and propagated in an enclosed environment.
To select the type of reverb you require, press the [REVERB] button on the
right of the display. The LEDs above the button will show that it is activated.
In addition, the [REVERB], [EFFECT] and [KEY TOUCH] buttons
allow you to select the type of reverb, effect and touch you require.
New settings are automatically memorised together with the current voice, so whenever a
new voice is recalled the effects and touch previously used for that voice will be activated.
If all the LEDs are off, no type of reverb is selected. This option is provided for rooms
which already have good reverberation of their own.
These are the types of reverb available:
•ROOM: this effect simulates a reverb of an average-size room, such as a performance
room.
•HALL 1: reverb typical of a concert hall, deeper than the Room.
•HALL 2: simulates the strong reverberation of a big concert hall, such as a theatre.
•STAGE: select this effect if you require a reverb of the type that occurs on a stage.

11
Concerto
User Manual
6.1 REGULATING THE REVERB DEPTH
To regulate the reverb depth, meaning the time for which the sound reverberates in the
room, select your chosen effect and keep the [REVERB] button pressed for a few moments.
The display will show the value currently set:
Use the [VALUE] buttons to set the value, bearing in mind that 0 means no reverb and 20
gives the maximum reverb depth.
Pressing the two [VALUE] buttons simultaneously recalls the default value for the active
voice or effect.
Press the [REVERB] button again to confirm the value.
Whilst adjusting the reverb depth, it is possibile to select other voices or other reverbs.
The display will show automatically the new value. In case the selected voice does not
contain any reverb effect, the display will show:
meaning “No Reverb”.
NOTES
The reverb depth may be set with different values depending on the mode
(Single, Dual or Split) selected. Therefore, Room can be set with depth 8
when playing in Single mode, or at 12 with the Dual mode active.
When setting the reverb, always remember that the value is memorised
for the effect and voice currently active. This means that a reverb depth of
15 can be set for the Room effect when applied to Grand Piano, with 7 set
for the same effect when used with E.Piano 1.

Concerto
User Manual
7. THE EFFECTS
As well as the reverb, you can also enhance your piano’s sound with one of the
four effects provided in the Effect section.
This section contains three classic modulation effects and a Delay, more often
called an echo.
To select the type of effect you require, simply press the [EFFECT] button.
The LEDs above the button will identify the active effect; if all four LEDs are off,
no effect is selected.
These are the effects available:
•CHORUS: a modulation effect which adds depth and a sense of space to the sound.
•FLANGER: a modulation effect similar to the resonance obtained inside a tunnel.
•ROTARY: an effect which simulates a rotary diffuser.
•DELAY: typical echo effect
SELECTING THE SPEED OF THE ROTARY EFFECT
As already mentioned, the Rotary effect simulates the classical rotary
speaker system which became famous with the advent of the
electromagnetic organ.
This system had two speakers which could be turned at two different
speeds, Slow or Fast. On your piano, the speeds of the Rotary effect can
be controlled using the Soft pedal.
7.1 REGULATING THE EFFECT
Keeping the [EFFECT] button pressed for a few moments allows you to regulate the level
of the effect currently selected. For the Rotary effect, you can set the two rotary speaker
rotation speeds.
Use the [VALUE] buttons to make the setting, bearing in mind that 0 means no effect and
20 gives the maximum value of the parameter associated to the selected effect.
Pressing the two [VALUE] buttons simultaneously recalls the default value for the active
voice or effect.
Press the [EFFECT] button again to confirm the value.
Whilst adjusting the effect, it is possibile to select other voices or other effects. The display
will show automatically the new value.
In case the selected voice does not contain any effect, the display will show the message
described on the next page.

13
Concerto
User Manual
meaning “No Effect”.
NOTES
The effects may be set with different values depending on the mode (Single,
Dual or Split) selected. Therefore, Chorus can be set with depth 8 when
playing in Single mode, or at 12 with the Dual mode active.
When setting the reverb, always remember that the value is memorised
for the effect and voice currently active. This means that an Effect Depth
of 10 can be set when the Chorus is applied to the Rock Piano, with 16 set
for the same effect when used with E.Piano 2.
As already explained, for the Rotary effect you can set the rotation speeds
of the simulated rotary speaker system. There is a single setting which
modifies both speeds (fast and slow).
8. REGULATING THE KEYBOARD TOUCH
The [KEY TOUCH] buttons allow you to select three different dynamic curves or
a fixed dynamic response, whose level can be regulated, in order to adapt the
keyboard effectively to the different styles of music and your own personal taste.
These are the types of dynamic provided:
•FIXED: fixed adjustable dynamic (see point 8.1) meaning that the volume
and character of the sound remain unchanged, regardless of the pressure applied to
the keys.
•SOFT: “light” curve with which it is easy to reach high dynamic values.
•MEDIUM: a medium or straight curve; the dynamic levels are proportional to the pressure
applied to the keys.
•HARD: a hard curve, requiring a lot of effort to obtain the highest sound levels.
NOTES
The level of the “Fixed” touch can be set independently for each voice.
In the sounds with fixed dynamic like Harpsichord, Jazz Organ 1 and 2,
Church Organ, the adjustment of this value does not affect the sound
character.

14
Concerto
User Manual
8.1 SETTING THE FIXED TOUCH LEVEL
To regulate the sound output level when the “Fixed” mode is selected, keep the [KEY
TOUCH] button pressed for a few moments, after which the display will show the latest
value set.
To make the setting, use the VALUE buttons. The range of values is from 1 to 127 (MIDI
dynamic). Pressing the two [VALUE] buttons simultaneously recalls the default value (64).
Press the [EFFECT] button again to confirm the value.
Whilst adjusting the fixed dynamic, it is possibile to select other voices or other dynamic
type. The display will show automatically the new value. In case the selected voice does
not contain the fixed dynamic, the display will show:
meaning “No Fixed”.
9. TRANSPOSE FUNCTION
The transposition function allows you to change the keyboard’s pitch in intervals of one
semitone to make it easier to play pieces in the most difficult keys and/or to adapt to the
preferred key of a singer or another musician.
To check any transposition set, keep the [TRANSPOSE] button pressed for a few moments:
Use the [VALUE] buttons if you wish to change the value. Transposition can be set in a
range of +/- 12 semitones (+/- one octave). Here again, pressing the two [VALUE] buttons
simultaneously restores the default value (+1 semitone). Press the [TRANSPOSE] button
again to confirm the new value.
After setting the transposition required, press [TRANSPOSE] to activate it: the LED of the
button will illuminate, informing you that the pitch of the keyboard has been changed.
NOTES
With transposition active, notes below A0 and above C8 will sound one
octave higher and one octave lower respectively.
The notes transmitted on the [MIDI OUT] port will be unaffected by the
transposition.

15
Concerto
User Manual
10. THE DUAL MODE
The Dual mode allows you to play two voices simultaneously throughout the extension of
the keyboard.
To activate the Dual mode, press the buttons of the two voices you wish to play,
simultaneously. When the LEDs of the two buttons are on, both the voices are enabled.
To return to playing just one voice, press the button of the voice of your choice:
The [BALANCE] slider allows you to regulate the volume balance between the two voices;
the 1ST voice is the one with the lower number, following the numbering provided in the
chart. The voice with the higher number will be set as the 2ND voice.
EXAMPLE OF 1ST AND 2ND VOICES
If the Rock Piano and Acoustic Guitar voices are played in Dual mode,
Rock Piano will be the 1ST voice and Acoustic Guitar the 2ND. If the
Acoustic Guitar voice is played together with Strings 1, A.Guitar will be the
1ST voice, and Strings 1 the 2ND.
In Dual mode the reverb set for the 1ST voice will also be assigned to the 2ND, while the
effects and types of keyboard touch are unchanged (so the voices can be played with two
different effects and dynamics).
The [REVERB], [EFFECT] and [KEY TOUCH] LEDs indicate the reverb, effect and touch
set for the 1ST voice, as do the Depth and fixed dynamic values which can be displayed
by pressing these buttons.
However, you can also adjust the Effect Depth of the 2ND voice by recalling the function
F3.5 in the function menu (point 14.4).
You can also use the Functions menu (chap. 14) to adjust the pitch in one hundredths of
a semitone of the 1ST voice in relation to the 2ND voice (function F3.1), the transposition
of the two voices in octaves (F3.2 and F3.3), and the effects Depth (F3.4 and F3.5) when
the Dual mode is active.

16
Concerto
User Manual
11. THE SPLIT MODE
Another of the instrument’s operating modes is the Split mode. In this mode, two voices
can be played in two separate areas of the keyboard, divided by a key called the “split
point”.
The voice on the right of the split point is the 1ST voice and the voice on the left (including
the split point itself) is the 2ND.
To activate the Split mode simply press the [SPLIT] key. The first time the instrument is
switched on or after a Factory Reset, the Grand Piano voice will be the 1ST voice, while
the C.Bass voice will become the 2ND.
Subsequent voice settings are automatically memorised, so whenever the Split voice is
recalled the voices set previously will be activated.
To make the status clear at once, the LED of the 1ST voice is constantly on while the LED
of the 2ND voice flashes.
You can use the [BALANCE] slider to adjust the balance between the volumes of the two
voices.
If you wish to change instrument, just pressing a voice button sets this voice as
the 1ST voice. Keep the [SPLIT] key pressed and select a voice to set this as the
2ND voice.
As in Dual mode, in Split mode the reverb set for the 1ST voice will also be assigned to the
2ND, while the effects and types of keyboard touch are unchanged (so the voices can be
played with two different effects and dynamics).
The [REVERB], [EFFECT] and [KEY TOUCH] LEDs indicate the reverb, effect and touch
set for the 1ST voice, as do the Depth and fixed dynamic values which can be displayed
by keeping these buttons pressed.
However, you can also adjust the Effect Depth of the 2ND voice by recalling the function
F4.5 in the function menu (point 14.5).
You can also use the Functions menu (chap. 14) to set the split point (function F4.1), the
transposition of the two voices in octaves (F4.2 and F4.3) and the effects Depth (F4.4 and
F4.5) when the Split mode is active.
