shock hazards!
This unit, either alone or in combination
with an amplier and headphones or
speakers, may be capable of producing
sound levels that could cause permanent
hearing loss. Do not operate for a long
period of time at a high volume level, or
at a level that is uncomfortable. If you
experience any hearing loss or ringing
in the ears, you should immediately
stop using the unit, and consult an
audiologist.
WARNING
Do not place containers containing liquid
(e.g., ower vases) on this product. Never
allow foreign objects (e.g., ammable
objects, coins, wires) or liquids (e.g.,
water or juice) to enter this product.
Doing so may cause short circuits, faulty
operation, or other malfunctions.
Immediately turn the power o, remove
the power cord from the outlet, and
request servicing by your retailer, or
Rodgers Instruments Corporation, as

the unit.
Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord
to share an outlet with an unreasonable
number of other devices. Be especially
careful when using extension cords—the
total power used by all devices you have
connected to the extension cord’s outlet
must never exceed the power rating
(watts/amperes) for the extension cord.
Excessive loads can cause the insulation
on the cord to heat up and eventually
melt through.
Before using the unit in a foreign country,
consult with your retailer, or Rodgers
Instruments Corporation, as listed on the
“Notice to Users” (p. 3).
CAUTION
The unit should be located so that its
location or position does not interfere

Power Supply
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet
that is being used by an electrical appliance that
is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator,
washing machine, microwave oven, or air
conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending
on the way in which the electrical appliance is
used, power supply noise may cause this unit to
malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it
is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet,
connect a power supply noise lter between this
unit and the electrical outlet.
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn
o the power to all units. This will help prevent
malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other
devices.
• Although the LCD and LEDs are switched o
when the POWER switch is switched o, this does
not mean that the unit has been completely
disconnected from the source of power. If you
need to turn o the power completely, rst turn
o the POWER switch, then unplug the power cord
from the power outlet. For this reason, the outlet
into which you choose to connect the power cord’s
plug should be one that is within easy reach and
readily accessible.
• With the factory settings, the power will
automatically be switched o 4 hours after you
stop playing or operating the unit. If you don’t
want the power to turn o automatically, change
the “AUTO OFF” setting to “OFF” as described on
p. 15.
(Note)
The settings you were editing will be lost when
the power is turned o. If you want to keep your
settings, you must save your settings before
turning the power o.
Placement
• Using the unit near power ampliers (or other
equipment containing large power transformers)
may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change
the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away
from the source of interference.
• This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of
such receivers.
• Noise may be produced if wireless
communications devices, such as cell phones,
are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such
noise could occur when receiving or initiating a
call, or while conversing. Should you experience
such problems, you should relocate such wireless
devices so they are at a greater distance from this
unit, or switch them o.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place
it near devices that radiate heat, or otherwise
subject it to temperature extremes. Also, do not
allow lighting devices that normally are used while
their light source is very close to the unit (such as a
piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon
the same area of the unit for extended periods of
time. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the
unit.
• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to
remain on this unit for long periods of time. Such
objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully aect
the nish.
• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the
keyboard or pedal board. This can be the cause
of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce
sound.
• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this
instrument. Peeling such matter o the instrument
may damage the exterior nish.
• Do not put anything that contains water (e.g.,
ower vases) on this unit. Also, avoid the use of
insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray
cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any
liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.
Maintenance
• To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that
is slightly dampened. Try to wipe the entire surface
using an equal amount of strength, moving the
cloth along with the grain of the wood. Rubbing
too hard in the same area can damage the nish.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of
any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration
and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data
• Please be aware that all data contained in the
unit’s memory may be lost when the unit is sent
for repairs. Important data should always be
backed up USB ash drive, or written down on
paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is
taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain
cases (such as when circuitry related to memory
itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be
possible to restore the data, and Rodgers assumes
no liability concerning such loss of data.
Additional Precautions
• Please be aware that the contents of memory can
be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction,
or the improper operation of the unit. To protect
yourself against the risk of loosing important
data, we recommend that you periodically save a
backup copy of important data you have stored in
the USB ash drive.
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore
the contents of data that was stored in the unit’s
memory or USB ash drive once it has been
lost. Rodgers Corporation assumes no liability
concerning such loss of data.
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the
unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when
using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling
can lead to malfunctions.
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the
display.
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp
the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This
way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to
the cable’s internal elements.
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit
during normal operation.
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the
unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer
to use headphones, so you do not need to be
concerned about those around you.
• When you need to transport the unit, pack it in
shock-absorbent material. Transporting the unit
without doing so can cause it to become scratched
or damaged, and could lead to malfunction.
• Do not apply undue force to the music stand while
it is in use.
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do
not use cables that incorporate resistors for
connecting to this unit. The use of such cables
can cause the sound level to be extremely low,
or impossible to hear. For information on cable
specications, contact the manufacturer of the
cable.
• Due to the structural design of this instrument,
small pets or other animals could end up getting
trapped inside it. If such a situation is encountered,
you must immediately switch o the power and
disconnect the power cord from the outlet. You
should then consult with the retailer from whom
the instrument was purchased, or contact Rodgers
Instruments Corporation, as listed on the “Notice
to Users” (p. 3).
• When opening or closing the lid, please be careful
not to get your ngers pinched between the
movable part and the panel. An adult should
provide supervision until the child is capable
of following all the rules essential for the safe
operation of the unit.
• The explanations in this manual include
illustrations that depict what should typically be
shown by the display.
Note, however, that your unit may incorporate
a newer, enhanced version of the system (e.g.,
includes newer sounds), so what you actually see
in the display may not always match what appears
in the manual.
Before Using External Memories
Using External Memories
• Carefully insert the USB ash drive all the way
in—until it is rmly in place.
• Never touch the terminals of the USB ash drive.
Also, avoid getting the terminals dirty.
• USB ash drive is constructed using precision
components; handle the cards carefully, paying
particular note to the following.
• To prevent damage to the cards from static
electricity, be sure to discharge any static
electricity from your own body before handling
the cards.
• Do not touch or allow metal to come into
contact with the contact portion of the cards.
• Do not bend, drop, or subject cards to strong
shock or vibration.
• Do not keep cards in direct sunlight, in closed
vehicles, or other such locations.
• Do not allow cards to become wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify the cards.
IMPORTANT NOTES

6
For generations, organ key tops were made from the best materials – ivory (for white keys) and ebony (for black keys). The Performance Touch keyboards
use the latest technologies to reproduce the touch and feel of these materials.
• Surfaces incorporate stripes of moisture-absorbing material for improved touch and playability.
• Keys feature a subtle gloss and understated coloring, enhancing the look and elegance.
• White keys are nished with a slight yellowish tinge for the look of real ivory.
 Note: — To Ensure Usage in Optimal Conditions —
Handling…
• Do not write on the keyboard with any pen or other implement, and do not stamp or place any marking on the instrument. Ink will seep into the surface
lines and become unremovable.
• Do not ax stickers on the keyboard. You may be unable to remove stickers that use strong adhesives, and the adhesive may cause discoloration.
Care and Maintenance…
Please note the following points. Failure to do so may result in scratches on the surface nish, damaged gloss, or other discoloration or deformation.
• Gently wipe dirt and grime with soft cloth; do not rub the surfaces forcefully.
• To remove more serious grime, use a commercial keyboard cleaner not containing abrasives.
• Do not use benzene, paint thinner, or alcohol on the keys.

Menu item Value Explanation
Pitch
The reference pitch can be changed from “A=440.0 Hz” to “A=415.0 Hz” (Baroque pitch) or “A=392.0 Hz” (Versailles pitch).
VERSAILLES 392 (Hz)
BAROQUE 415 (Hz)
MODERN 440 (Hz)
VENETIAN 465 (Hz)
Temperament
Historical styles of music such as baroque can be played in the tunings that were used during that time.
EQUAL
(Equal temperament)
This temperament divides the octave into twelve equal intervals. Modulating to a dierent key will not aect the sonority of
the chords.
WERCK.
(Werckmeister)
This temperament combines the meantone temperament and the Pythagorean temperament. It allows playing in all keys
(method 1, number 3).
KIRN.1
(Kirnberger 1)
This is an improvement of meantone temperament and just intonation to allow greater freedom of modulation. It allows
playing in all keys (method 1).
KIRN.3
(Kirnberger 3) This is a variation of Kirnberger 1 (method 3).
VALLO.
(Vallotti)
This is a relatively recent temperament. It is close to equal temperament but has a certain amount of just intonation, making
it easier to stay in tune with other instruments, and is thus frequently used for ensembles.
MEAN.D (Meantone
temperament)
This temperament is a partial compromise from just intonation in order to allow a certain degree of modulation. Preference
is given to the sonority in D#.
MEAN.E (Meantone
temperament)
This temperament is a partial compromise from just intonation in order to allow a certain degree of modulation. Preference
is given to the sonority in Eb.
PYTHG.
(Pythagorean tuning)
This is a system of tuning attributed to the philosopher Pythagoras, in which the fourth and fth are pure. Chords including
the third will not sound smooth, but the melody will sound good.
M.BACH
(Modern Bach) This is one of the recently researched temperaments from the era of Bach. It allows playing in all keys.
Tuning ±100 cents You can adjust this in a range of ±100 cents (a semitone) centered on the selected pitch.
Transpose -6–+5
The transpose function lets you shift the pitch in semitone steps without changing the keys you play on the keyboard.
MEMO

When transmitting performance data via MIDI, you can specify the type of MIDI data that will be transmitted when you press a general memory piston
and division memory piston.
OFF MIDI data will not be transmitted.
STOP MAP
Data describing the details of the sounds that should be produced when that piston is pressed will be transmitted. If you’re
recording your performance into a MIDI sequencer, this will ensure that the sounds are reproduced accurately. However,
since a large amount of data is transmitted when you press the piston, the sounding of the rst note-on after you press the
piston may be delayed in some cases.
PC
Only program changes indicating the current memory bank and the memory piston that was pressed will be transmitted.
If you’re recording your performance into a MIDI sequencer, the performance will not be accurately reproduced unless the
contents of the memory bank used during the performance match the contents during recording. However, since a large
amount of data will not be transmitted when you press the piston, there will be no signicant delay in the rst note-on after
you press the piston.
