Follow steps 1 through 3B above.
The piano volume range is from “P-9” to “P 9”.
Tap the Piano Volume buttons until “P 0” displays. This sets the piano volume in the center of it’s range.

listening level.
Note:
It is normal for the piano to stop playing when the Piano Volume is set to “P 0” AND the Master Volume is
turned down to “000”. The piano is playing at it’s softest level when the Piano Volume is set to “P 0” AND the
Master Volume is turned down to “001”. Pianomation can only play as softly as the individual instrument will allow
and is also affected by the room’s acoustics. If you feel that the piano is playing too loudly, try asking someone to
play the piano as softly as possible and compare that volume to Pianomation.
Advanced: If you feel that the piano is still playing too loudly, See page. 30. “How to set the Minimum Key Force / Alignment / Test 11”.
Listen, and tap the Audio volume buttons to match the music from the speaker with the acoustic piano. You may
want to adjust the volume controls on the speaker itself.
You can now use the Master Volume to adjust the overall volume, the audio and piano will follow together.
Advanced: You can affect how the audio and piano volume levels “follow” the master volume by adjusting the “Function
Curves”. See pages 34 & 35. “F-Curves - Activate / Change“ section in the advanced section of this manual for details.

Play MIDI & MP3 Files from CDROM or CompactFlash
CD “cd” or CompactFlash “cF” Source
Petine can read MIDI & MP3 files that are burned to a CD-R disc or copied to a CompactFlash memory card.
MIDI
Must be written for “Piano” [Patch numbers 1-6] to trigger the piano keys. See the “General MIDI Sounds List” on page 55.
The optional soundcard must be installed to hear any other instruments [Patches 7-128] and drums. See page 55.
Google search “MIDI Piano” on your computer to find MIDI files on the internet that will play the piano keys.
MP3
If the MP3 file was generated from QRS data Petine will automatically detect the Analog MIDI information on the left
channel to play the piano keys. Otherwise the piano keys will not play.
See “File Types Recognized by Petine’s Sources” Page 26.
Root Files vs. Program Files
Programs are subdirectories on a CDROM disc or CompactFlash card where song files can be categorized and saved for playback.
Petine will recognize and playback the file types, listed above, on either the Root or within a Program on a CDROM or
CompactFlash, but not from both areas on the same media. This means... if there are playable song files on both the Root and
within a Program Petine will only recognize and display the song files on the Root of the media.
Save music files to either the Root or in Programs on a particular CDROM or CompactFlash card.
Root Files will display three numbers “xxx”, ranging from 000-999 on a CDROM and 000-509 on a CompactFlash.
Programs will display as “Pxx”, where “xx” is a number from 01 to 99.
Refer to the following pages for more information.
“Maximum Number of Songs & Programs”, page 10.
“Playing Songs from the Root Directory”, page 12
“Playing Songs from a Program Directory”, page 12

The very first time that an individual recording is saved directly to the CompactFlash card Petine creates a folder named “RECSES99”
and saves the individual recording as “RECSN001. All subsequent recordings saved to “rcF”, on the same CompactFlash card, are
placed in the same folder and named “RECSN002...RECSN###” up to RECSN999.
Note: If there are ANY music files on the “root” of the CFLASH card Petine will not recognize the files in the “RECSES99” folder. The nine
record locations can also be saved, as a group, using the “Copy Record Memory” option of the “CompactFlash Utility”.
These naming conventions are useful only when the CompactFlash card is viewed on a computer. Petine will display these groups as
“Pxx” where “xx” is a number corresponding to the location of the groups on the CompactFlash card. For more information see
“Playing Songs from a Program Directory” under “Number Buttons” which is located in the “Remote Control Features” section on page 12.
