TAKING CARE OF YOUR INSTRUMENT
Your ORLA Stage Ensemble is a fine musical instrument and deserves careful treatment.
Follow the next few points carefully, to keep it at its best for many years.
- Never open the case and touch the internal circuits.
- Always switch the power OFF after use.
- Use a cloth or a damp sponge. If the dirt is particularly persistent, use a neutral detergent
to remove it. Never use solvents or alcohol.
- Do not place your instrument near electric motors, neon or fluorescent lamps as these
may generate disturbances.
- In most cases you just need to change the position of the instrument to avoid interference.
- Keep your instrument away from dusty environments, high humidity, and high
temperatures.
- Do not use on the same AC power outlet with electrical appliances, neon lights or
variable lighting systems.
- Before turning on the instrument, make sure that any external amplifier and speaker
system that you have connected to your instrument are turned off.
- Computer controlled instruments can be interrupted by spikes, surges and dropouts on the
AC power line. If your instrument stops working because of an AC power line
disturbance, switch it off for a few seconds and then switch it on again.
- Never disconnect the power cable without turning the power switch off.

GETTING STARTED
PREPARATION
This section contains information about setting up your instrument and preparing to play. Be sure
to go through this section carefully before using this instrument.

2. Set the MASTER VOLUME to the desired level. The MASTER VOLUME controls the
overall volume for the entire instrument.
USING HEADPHONES OR AN EXTERNAL SOUND SYSTEM
A standard stereo headphone set can be plugged into the PHONES socket for private practice or
late-night playing. The internal speaker system is automatically switched off when the
headphone set is plugged into the PHONES socket. There are two sockets available on the rear
panel that allow the use of two headphone sets at the same time.
The LINE OUT (Left and Right) sockets can be used to deliver the output of the sound to an
external amplifier, stereo sound system, mixing console, or tape recorder.
SUSTAIN PEDAL (supplied)
The Stage Ensemble is supplied with a Sustain pedal.
Connect it to the Pedal Input number 2 to obtain the Sustain effect when used.
It has the same function as the ''sustain'' pedal on an acoustic piano.

SOFT/SOSTENUTO/SUSTAIN PEDAL (optional)
If necessary the Stage Ensemble can be used with an optional 3 Pedals pedalboard.
Insert the mono jack to the Pedal Input number 1 and the stereo jack in the Pedal Input number 2.
Soft Sustain
Sostenuto
The instrument now works with a set of three pedals giving the following functions:
SOFT: gives the piano voices a ''softer'' sound.
4

SOSTENUTO: this allows only the notes pressed on the keyboard before the Sostenuto
pedal is activated to sustain, and subsequent notes played afterwards will
not sustain.
SUSTAIN: has the same function as the ''sustain'' pedal on an acoustic piano. It
provides sustain and lets the sound slowly decay after the keys have been
released.
If the optional 3 Pedals pedalboard is used it is possible to program the Soft and Sostenuto pedals
to control the Start /Stop and Fill In features of the style section.

also when connected to a headphone set.
The Rhythm Volume slider controls the Drum Sounds volume when playing the automatic
accompaniment.
The Bass/Chord Volume slider controls the Auto Accompaniment volume when playing the
automatic accompaniment.
