Key Functions [ ]* indicates MIDI Note number.
Transpose function (Shifting the key)
In some cases, a song may be wrien in a dicult key (e.g.,
using many black keys), or you may wish to shi the key to
match another instrument or vocalist. In such cases, you can
transpose (shi the key) to use an easier ngering, or to use
the same familiar ngering to play in a dierent key. This is
called the Transpose function. You can shi the key in a range
of eleven semitones.
For example if you transpose upward by one semitone, play-
ing the notes shown in the score on the le below will pro-
duce the pitch that’s shown in the score on the right.
• To transpose the key, press and hold down the PIANO
PLAY and SOUND buons, and then press a key from F#2
to B3 or from C#3 to F3. The name of the key that you
pressed will become the transposed key.
For example, if you wish to use the C3 key to play note A2
(lower by three semitones), press and hold down the PIANO
PLAY and SOUND buons, and press the A2 key. If you wish
to use the C3 key to play note D#3 (higher by three semitones),
press and hold down the PIANO PLAY and SOUND buons,
and press the D#3 key.
To reset the Transpose function to “No Transposition (+/-0),”
press and hold down the PIANO PLAY and SOUND buons,
and then press the C3 key.
The default seing (when you turn on the unit) is “No Trans-
position.”
Pitch Control function (Tuning)
When you’re playing together with other instruments, you
can use this the Pitch Control function to x any slight dier-
ences in pitch between instruments. You can adjust the tun-
ing of the SP-170DX in half-step (0.5) Hz intervals over a range
of 427.5–452.5 Hz (Hertz) by using the E5 and F5 keys.
• Press and hold down the PIANO PLAY and SOUND but-
tons, then press the E5 key to lower the pitch in 0.5Hz steps
each time your press it, or press the F5 key repeatedly to
raise the pitch in 0.5Hz steps each time you press it.
• To reset the pitch to 440Hz, press and hold down the PIA-
NO PLAY and SOUND buttons, and press the E5 and F5
keys simultaneously.
The default seing (when you turn on the unit) is A4=440Hz.
MIDI
Please visit the Korg website (hp://www.korg.com/) to view
the MIDI Implementation Chart.
Using the MIDI OUT jack
The MIDI OUT jack transmits MIDI messages. When you play
the keyboard, the MIDI messages will be output to control (e.g,
play the sound of) an external MIDI device. Use an optional
MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT jack of the SP-170DX to
the MIDI IN jack of an external MIDI device.
Changing the MIDI channel
If you’re using the SP-170DX as a controller to play sounds from
a connected MIDI device, the MIDI channel of the SP-170DX
must match the MIDI channel the external MIDI device.
To change the MIDI channel (1–16) that MIDI data is being
transmied from via the MIDI OUT jack on the rear panel, press
and hold down the PIANO PLAY and SOUND buons simulta-
neously, and press one of the keys ranging from C4 to D#5.
The default MIDI channel (when you turn on the unit) is “1.”
Transmitting Program Change and Control
Change messages
You can change the program number of the connected MIDI
device from the SP-170DX.
When you select a preset sound on the SP-170DX (see “Playing
Different Sounds” on page 2), it transmits a MIDI Program
Change number (PC#) as shown in the table below. To dis-
able this transmission (DIS), press and hold down the PIANO
PLAY and SOUND buttons simultaneously, and then press
the G#3 key. To enable this transmission (ENA), repeat the
previous procedure but press the A3 key instead.
The SP-170DX also transmits Control Change messages to con-
trol Damper (CC64), Bank Select (CC00), etc. for the connected
MIDI device. To disable this transmission (DIS), press and hold
down the
PIANO PLAY and SOUND buons simultaneously,
and then press the A#3 key. To enable this transmission (ENA),
repeat the previous procedure but press the B3 key instead.
The default seing (when you turn on the unit) is ENA (trans-
mied) for both Program and Control Change messages.

Troubleshooting
If you perceive any malfunction, check the following sug-
gestions. If the problem persists, contact your nearest Korg
distributor.
Power does not turn on
• Make sure that the AC adapter is properly connected to the
SP-170DX and the AC outlet.
• Make sure that the power LED is illuminated.
No sound from the speakers
• Rotate the VOLUME knob on the rear panel to the right to-
ward MAX.
• The speakers will be muted if the headphones are con-
nected.
Sound is interrupted
• The preset sounds of the SP-170DX have been created by
sampling (recording) sounds of actual musical instru-
ments. When you press a key, some sounds play a single
piece of sampled data, while other sounds play two pieces
of sampled data. The SP-170DX uses two pieces of data for
most of its preset sounds. When one of these two-sample
sounds is selected (regardless of whether the damper pedal
is being pressed), the maximum polyphony is 60 notes.
However, with two Piano sounds, the maximum polyph-
ony is 120 notes. If the maximum polyphony is exceeded,
some of the notes will be lost.
The pitch or tone of the piano sounds wrong in some key re-
gions
• The SP-170DX’s piano sounds replicate the sound of an
actual piano as faithfully as possible. This means that in
some regions of the keyboard, you may feel that the over-
tones seem stronger, or that the tone or pitch seems wrong.
This is not a malfunction.
Pedal is not effective
• Make sure that the pedal cable is properly connected.
Connected MIDI device does not respond to MIDI messages
• Make sure that all MIDI cables are properly connected.
• Make sure that the SP-170DX is transmitting MIDI data on
the same MIDI channel as the connected MIDI device.

Utilisation de casques
La connexion d’un casque coupe les haut-parleurs internes. Cela permet de jouer du clavier
le soir sans déranger votre entourage. Le SP-170DX dispose de deux prises pour casques, per-
meant à deux personnes d’écouter au casque.
• Branchez la che de casque stéréo à une des prises PHONES en face arrière. (Illustration 3)
Si votre casque est doté d’une che adaptatrice jack standard/mini-jack, veillez à tenir la che
adaptatrice lorsque vous branchez ou débranchez le casque.
Pour protéger votre ouïe, évitez une écoute au casque prolongée à volume élevé.
Connexion de périphériques audio
Vous pouvez utiliser les prises PHONES comme sorties lignes pour brancher des enceintes
actives ou d’autres périphériques audio au clavier. Utilisez pour cela des câbles conçus pour
ces périphériques et disponibles dans le commerce.
Avant de brancher des périphériques audio, n’oubliez pas de mere l’instrument et les
périphériques audio hors tension. Faute de quoi, vous risquez d’endommager l’instru-
ment ou les périphériques.
Utilisation du pupitre
• Insérez les pieds du pupitre fourni dans la fente située au centre du panneau supérieur.

Jouer avec différents sons
Le SP-170DX propose 10 sons préprogrammés.
Appuyez plusieurs fois sur le bouton SOUND pour changer de son selon la séquence suivante:
Piano 1 → Piano 2 → E.Piano 1 → E.Piano 2 → Harpsichord → Clavichord → Vibraphone → P.Organ →
E.Organ → Strings
Après le son “Strings”, vous revenez au son “Piano 1”. Une pression sur le bouton PIANO PLAY sé-
lectionne automatiquement le son “Piano 1”.
Quand vous meez l’instrument sous tension, le son “Piano 1” est sélectionné par défaut.
Piano 1: Piano à queue chaud et riche
Piano 2: Piano à queue clair et brillant
E.Piano 1: Piano électrique authentique et uide
E.Piano 2: Piano électrique moderne et percutant
Harpsichord: Clavecin classique
Clavichord: Clavicorde électrique expressif
Vibraphone: Vibraphone au son velouté
P.Organ: Orgue à tuyaux
E.Organ: Orgue électronique à registres
Strings: Section de cordes
Vous pouvez aussi changer de son en appuyant sur une des touches de la plage Do7 à La7 tout
en maintenant les boutons PIANO PLAY et SOUND enfoncés. (Voyez la section “Fonctions des
touches” aux pages 12 et 13.)
Utilisation du pédalier
Branchez le pédalier fourni avec le clavier au connecteur sur le dessous de l'instrument.
Une fois branché, ce pédalier vous permet d'exploiter toutes les nuances d'expression avec ses
pédales douce, de soutien et de résonance.
Pédale douce (‘soft’)
Appuyez sur cee pédale pour adoucir le son. Vous pouvez contrôler le degré d'aénuation
du son en enfonçant plus ou moins la pédale douce (eet “mi-pédale”).
Pédale de soutien (‘sostenuto’)
L’eet de soutien s’applique uniquement aux notes dont les touches sont déjà enfoncées au
moment où vous appuyez sur la pédale; seules ces notes continuent de résonner tant que
la pédale de soutien est enfoncée. L’eet de soutien ne s’applique pas aux notes que vous
jouez après l’enfoncement de la pédale de soutien.
Pédale de résonance (‘damper’)
L’action de cee pédale soutient le son et produit un estompement des notes plein de réso-
nance. Vous pouvez en outre contrôler le degré de résonance des sons de piano 1 et 2 selon
la pression que vous exercez sur la pédale (eet “mi-pédale”).

Installation du pédalier
Vériez que l’instrument est hors tension avant de bran-
cher le pédalier.
1. Branchez le câble de pédalier sur le dessous du pédalier,
en veillant à orienter correctement son connecteur.
2. Acheminez le câble de pédalier ainsi branché dans la fente
prévue à cet effet sur le pédalier comme illustré ci-des-
sous.
3. Branchez l’autre extrémité du câble de pédalier sur le
dessous de l’instrument, en veillant à xer le câble avec
le support prévu à cet eet.
Support de câble
Lorsque le pédalier est utilisé
sur un sol où il risque de glis-
ser ou de bouger facilement,
posez le tapis antidérapant
fourni avec l’instrument sur
le sol et placez le pédalier sur
son tapis.
