6 Quick Guide
Settingupandgettingtoknowtheinstrument
The Equinox does not have it ‘s own built in amplification so
either headphones or an external amplifier/speaker system are
required.
For external amplification, a high quality stereo keyboard ampli-
fier system is recommended.
Connectingasetofheadphones
If you prefer to play with headphones for high quality personal
monitoring, plug a standard stereo headphone set (8 Ω ) into one
ofthe two headphones jacks located on the left sideof the instru-
ment, under the Wheels panel.
Use the Master volume slider to adjust the headphone volume.
Connectingtoanamplificationsystem
Before connecting audio cables, be sure that the power switch
on the rear panel is off and the master volume is at minimum.
Connect the power cord to the rear panel mains socket and in-
sert the other end of the power cord into a suitable grounded wall
outlet.
Connectthe audio cables tothestereo audio outputs (Left,Right)
and the other ends to your amplifier system. Use audio cables
with standard 1/4” jacks. To connect to domestic stereo units,
use RCA jacks. For mono reproduction, connect to either the
Left or Right output jack. The auxiliary outputs 1 and 2 emit “dry”
signals (i.e. no effects).

Setting-up 7
Turnonthepower
The power switch is located on left side of the rear panel (when
sitting in front of the keyboard).
Turn the power on only after all the connections to other equip-
ment (amplifiers, Midi devices, etc.) have been made.
After a short scanning period, the display will appear showing
the last used mode (Sound, Performance, Drawbar, etc.).
The various modes available are explained afterwards.
Adjustthevolume
Adjust the general volume of the instrument with the Master pan-
el slider.
If you are using headphones, you should find that about three
quarter volume is a comfortable listening level.
Connectthepedals
There are four rear panel PEDALS jacks marked Volume, 1, 2
and Damper which accept control pedals.
The Volume jack is a non-programmable port for a standard Vol-
ume Pedal. The remaining three jacks (Damper, 1, 2) are fully
editable although their functions have been pre-set at the facto-
ry.
The default configuration of the pedals is as follows:
Ped1 = Expression
Ped2 = Start/Stop
Damper = Damper (sustain)
Volume = Volume
Your pedals settings can either be stored with each performance
or they can be “locked” so that their functions are global.
Note: better results are obtained
by adjusting the volume of the
mixer or amplifier controls rather
than lowering the volume of the
instrument.
(All Generalmusic control pedals
are optional accessories).

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
8 Quick Guide
The pedal jacks 1, 2 and Damper are function assignable and
canbe independently enabledordisabled for eachofthe 16 parts
in a Performance.
All three pedals (1, 2, Damper) can be programmed to accept
Switch action (on/off) or Continuous (graduated levels) control
pedals (Volume type). It is also possible to reverse the polarity of
the Switch action pedals.
Usingthewheels
The on-board controlling devices include two wheels on the left
key block.
The default configuration of the wheels is as follows:
Wheel 1 (left) = Pitch Bend
Wheel 2 (right) = Modulation
Wheel 1 is spring loaded to return to the central position.
Wheel 2 is free-moving and remains at the last set position.
The programmed Wheel configuration is a general setting which
applies to the instrument as a whole.
The Wheels can be independently enabled or disabled for each
of the 16 parts in a Performance.
UsingAftertouch
This feature makes is possible to vary the degree of modulation
by varying the pressure applied to the keys. No effect is pro-
ducedwith normal key pressure, but the effect can be introduced
by applying pressure to the keys after playing them.
The Aftertouch effect can be independently enabled or disabled
for each of the 16 parts in a Performance.

Playingwithorwithouttheeffects
Whether you are playing single Sounds, Performances, Draw-
bars, etc., you’ll find that in all cases one or more effects will be
applied to the sounds you are playing. If you prefer to play with-
out effects, you can instantly bypass the internal digital effects
processors by pressing the FX OFF button.
Whenthe LED is off,thesound(s) will play withtheirprogrammed
effects.
When the LED is ON, the sound(s) will play “dry” (without ef-
fects).
The on/off status of the FX OFF button cannot be memorised.

The TRANSPOSE b/# buttons allow real time pitch adjustments
(transpositions) in steps of one semitone (range ± 24 semitones
= 2 octaves).

sary until you reach the desired pitch. The display returns to
normal after a few seconds. The LED of the Transpose # or
b button remians on to show that the instrument has been
transposed up or down.

• Press both TRANSPOSE buttons at the same time.
Note: Transposing with the #/ b
buttons affects the instrument as a
whole. If, for example, you switch
fromSounds mode toPerformance
mode, the Performances will also
play at the new pitch. If you turn
the instrument off, turning on again
will restore normal pitch.

10 Quick Guide
Sectiontransposer(Octaves)
If you are playing a single Sound (in Sounds mode), you can
transpose in octave steps within the range +/– 5 octaves (60
semitones) by means of the Octave +/– buttons.
If you are playing in Performance mode, the Octave +/– buttons
affect the currently selected part (shown in negative highlight in
the parts list).
• Press the OCTAVE + or OCTAVE – button as many times as
desired until you reach the correct octave..
Octave +: Octave –:
…
The setting is shown in a temporary window and the LED on
the octave button turns on to show the raised or lowered sta-
tus of the sound (or part). The display returns to normal after
a few seconds.
UsingtheSolobutton
In multi-part situations (Performance, Drawbars, Song), the Solo
button isolates a sound from the rest in order that you may make
some changes and listen to the result without listening to all the
other sounds. Once you have obtained the sound you want, you
can select another part to solo or deactivate Solo to restore the
multi-part situation to normal.
• Simply press the SOLO button to activate the function (LED
on).
InPerformance andSongmodes, thecurrentSound isshown
in the Parts list. To select another sound, simply press the
corresponding Part select button.
In Drawbar mode, the sound heard will correspond to the
selected Drawbar, shown in the Drawbar Setup display. To
listen to another Drawbar, simply move the corresponding
Slider.
Note: Unlike the Master transpos-
er, Octave transpositions only af-
fect the current Sound or Perform-
ance part. If, for example, you are
playing in Sounds mode and you
changeSound or switchto Perform
mode, the octave transposition will
be cancelled.
