PROGRAMMING MODE
The Programming Mode gives you access to many other useful features on your PN Piano. To use
the Programming Mode functions, press a key on the keyboard while holding down the TOUCH
and TRANSPOSE buttons. To exit the Programming Mode, release the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE
buttons.
The followings are functions that can be selected through Programming Mode:
SELECTING A TOUCH TYPE (C or D or E key)
TUNING (C-sharp or E-flat key)
MIDI CHANNEL SELECT (F or G or A key)
TURNING SENDING MIDI PROGRAM NUMBER ON AND OFF (B-flat key)
TURNING MIDI MULTITIMBRE ON AND OFF (A-flat key)
MIDI LOCAL CONTROL ON AND OFF (F-sharp key)
RESET (B key)
1. SELECTING A TOUCH TYPE
Your digital piano lets you select from four different “Touch” types as follows:
NORMAL: The standard setting which produces volume in direct proportion to your force on
the keys. This setting is the most similar to an acoustic piano. This digital piano
automatically selects this Touch Type when the power is turned on.
LIGHT: For those still developing finger strength, such as a child, a louder sound is produced
even when played with a soft touch.
HEAVY: Perfect for those with strong fingers or for practicing with a hard touch.
CONSTANT: For tone colors like organ or harpsichord, and for playing some contemporary music
with the piano sound, loud sound is produced regardless of your force on the keys.
(1) To select the “LIGHT”, “CONSTANT” or “HEAVY”
Touch Type, press one of the following keys on the
keyboard while holding down the TOUCH and
TRANSPOSE switches.
Any C key: Selects the “LIGHT” Touch Type
Any D key: Selects the “HEAVY” Touch Type
Any E key: Selects the “CONSTANT” Touch Type
(2) Release both hands after selecting the Touch Type
to exit the programming mode.
When the TOUCH LED is off, the “NORMAL” Touch
Type is automatically selected. When an alternative
touch type is selected using the above procedure, the
TOUCH LED will light. The TOUCH button is a toggle
switch. Pressing the button turns on the LED. Pressing
it a second time turns off the LED.

2. TUNING
This function allows you to adjust the piano’s pitch to match recordings or other instruments in an
ensemble.
(1) To lower the pitch press any C-sharp key while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE
buttons. To raise the pitch press any E-flat key while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE
buttons.
(2) Release the both hands after finding the desired pitch.
The range of tuning is +/-50 cents (100 cents = a half tone). Each press of the key will change the
tuning 1.56 cents. Press the key repeatedly until you arrive at the desired pitch.
3. MIDI CHANNEL SELECT
In order to exchange MIDI information with a another MIDI instrument, you must first set the two
connected instruments to the same channel.
(1) If you press any A key while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, the MIDI
channel will increase by one each time you press the key. MIDI channel will progress from | to 16
and automatically cycle back to channel 1. If you press any G key, the channel will be set to 1
regardless of what channel is currently selected. And, if you press any F key while holding down
the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, the MIDI channel will decrease by | each time you press
the key.
(2) Release the both hands after selecting the channel.
When the power is first turned on, the PN Piano always selects channel |.

4. TURNING SENDING PROGRAM NUMBER ON AND OFF
You can use 8 program numbers to transmit data of tone color. Program Number | transmits the
data of PIANO 1, Program Number 2 transmits PIANO 2, Program Number 3 transmits E.PIANO,
Program Number 6 transmits CHURCH ORGAN, Program Number 7 transmits HARPSICHORD,
Program Number 8 transmits VIBRAPHONE, Program Number 12 transmits STRINGS and Program
Number 13 transmits CHOIR.
(1) If you press any B-flat key while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, this
function is set to "off" and the PN Piano does not transmit the data corresponding to the tone
selected on the panel. If you press the B-flat key again while holding down the TOUCH and
TRANSPOSE buttons, this function returns to “on” and you can select the tone to transmit as data.
(2) Release both hands after selecting either “on” or “off” of sending program number.
When the power is first turned on, the SENDING MIDI PROGRAM NUMBER is always “on”.
5. TURNING MULTITIMBRE ON AND OFF
Normally, the procedure described in the MIDI CHANNEL SELECT section is used
to transmit or receive data on only one MIDI channel (any one of | through 16). But by turning the
MULTI TIMBRE function “оп”, you can receive more than one MIDI channel and simultaneously
play a different timbre on each channel. With this feature, you can use a sequencer such as the
Kawai Q-80EX or DRP-10 to create performances with contain a variety of timbres on the digital
piano. The term “Multi Timbre” is derived from this ability to play multiple timbre simultaneously.
(1) If you press any A-flat key while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, the
MIDI MULTITIMBRE will be set to “on”. If you press any A-flat key again while holding down
the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, the MIDI MULTITIMBRE function returns to “off”.
(2) Release both hands after selecting the desired setting.
When power is first turned on, the MIDI MULTITIMBRE setting is always off.
6. LOCAL CONTROL ON AND OFF
This mode is used to control whether or not the sound from the piano’s keyboard will be heard.
(1) If you press any F-sharp key while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE
buttons, the MIDI LOCAL CONTROL will be set to “off’. If you press again any F-sharp key
while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, the MIDI LOCAL CONTROL returns
to “on”.
(2) Release both hands after selecting the desired setting.

— MIDI Program Change On
— MIDI Multitimbre Off
— MIDI Local Control On
— Tuning +/-0
— Touch Type (When the TOUCH LED is flashing) LIGHT
— Tempo (Metronome of the Recorder) 120/min.

The term MIDI is an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an international standard
for connecting synthesizers, sequencers (digital recorders) and other electronic instruments so that
they can exchange performance data.
The PN Piano is equipped with two MIDI jacks for exchanging data: MIDI IN and MIDI OUT.
Each uses a special cable with a DIN connector.
MIDIIN : For receiving note, program change and other data.
MIDI OUT : For sending note, program change and other data.
MIDI EXAMPLES
(1) Connection to another MIDI compatible keyboard or sound generator module
When connected as shown in the illustration, data on how the digital piano is played (which keys
are struck) can be sent to another MIDI instrument. Plus, the sound from the PN Piano can be
layered over the sound of the other instrument.
