The metronome
The D1 is equipped with a metronome, which can be
changed to a bell sound, which is convenient for practic-
ing.
Turning on/off the metronome
PresstheMETRONOMEbutton.The
button lights up, and the metronome
starts.
Tostopthemetronome,presstheMETRONOMEbutton
again.Thebuonturnso.
Specifying the tempo
When the tempo appears in the dis-
play(defaultseingof120),regardless
of whether the metronome is turned
on or off, the tempo can be specified
withthe+and–buonsbesidethedisplay(Thetempocan
alsobespecifiedinMetronomeSettingsmode.).Theset-
ting range is
q
= 40 – 240.
Toreturntothedefaultseing,simultaneouslypressthe+
and–buons.

Using a damper pedal
Youcanusethepedaltomakeyourplayingmoreexpres-
sive and realistic.
Pressing this pedal will sustain the sound, producing a
richly resonant decay.
Youcanalsoaddthedamperreso-
nance to the concert piano, the grand piano and the jazz
piano sound (bank 1 and 2 of Piano1, bank 1 of Piano2).
Using the optional damper pedal DS-1H will let you vary
the amount of damper that’s applied according to how
deeply you press the pedal (“half-pedaling”).
In Layer mode, you can select the sound(s) where you
want to apply the damper effect. (refer to “Pedal of
layer mode” on page 12)
Effects
Brilliance
Thiseectchangesthebrightnessofthesound.
TheseingcanbechangedbyholdingdowntheBRIL-
LIANCEbuonandpressingthe+or–buonbesidethe
display.
The setting appears in the display with 3 producing a
brighter sound and 1 producing a less bright sound.
Thesameseingisappliedtoallsoundsandremainsap-
plied until the D1 is turned off. When the instrument is
turnedon,thedefaultseing2isselected.
 Brilliancecannotbeturnedo.
Reverb
Thiseectaddsambienceanddepthtothesound,produc-
ing the sense of performing in a concert hall. As a factory

Chorus
Chorus adds modulation to the sound, producing an ex-
pansivelyrichsound.Asafactorydefault,theon/oset-
