Connecting the i40M to a hi-fi system
Connect the OUTPUT jacks of the i40M to the AUX or
TAPE inputs of the amplifier using two audio cables
with a mono jack at one end and an RCA connector at
the other end (do not use the PHONE or TUNER
inputs).
Connecting the power cable
● Plug the power cable into
the power socket.
Make sure that the mains
voltage is suitable for the
instrument (the voltage is
indicated next to the AC
power inlet).
Turning on the power
● Press the POWER
switch to turn the
instrument on.
On turning on, the
instrument will be in
the Arrangement
Play mode. If you
are connected to an
external amplifying
system, turn the speakers on only after having
switched on the i40M.
● To turn the instrument off, press the POWER
switch again.
In order to save on electricity, turn the instrument
off when you are not using it. Do not turn the
power off while the disk indicator is lit or while a
message such as “Loading”, “Saving” or “Format-
ting” is shown on the LCD display.
Note: When the instrument is turned off, all the data
contained in the RAM memory will be lost (e.g. back-
ing sequence and song). On the contrary, USER styles,
USER arrangements and USER programs are
retained. Before turning the instrument off, save back-
ing sequence (☞P. 33) and song (☞P. 35) on disk.
Adjusting the general volume
● Use the MASTER VOLUME knob
to adjust the general volume of
the internal sound generation.
Moving the knob towards “10” will
increase the volume, and moving it
towards the “0” will decrease the
volume. In the “0” position the instrument will be
mute.
If you are connected to an external amplifying sys-
tem, you should at this point turn the volume of the
mixer or the speakers up and then adjust both the
volume of the i40M and that of the speakers.
The MASTER VOLUME knob controls the level of
the internal sound generation both of the OUTPUT
jacks and the headphones.
Note: This knob does not control the volume of the
VOCAL/GUITAR section (input signal from the INPUT-
IN jack). Use the VOLUME knob to adjust the level of
this section.
Warning: At the maximum volume the sound can be
distorted. Should this happen, decrease the volume of
the i40M.
Adjusting the volume of the
Vocal/Guitar section
The VOCAL/GUITAR section takes the input signal
from the INPUT-IN jack and process it with dedicated
effects. The processed signal is combined with the
sounds generated by the internal sound generation
and comes out from the OUTPUT jacks.
● Use the VOLUME knob to adjust
the volume of the section.
Moving the knob towards “10” will
increase the volume, and moving it
towards the “0” will decrease the
volume. In the “0” position the VOCAL/GUITAR
section does not reach the OUTPUT jacks.
The VOLUME knob controls the level of the
VOCAL/GUITAR section both of the OUTPUT
jacks and the headphones.
Note: Use the GAIN knob located next to the INPUT-
IN jack to adjust the input level at best. Connect the
instrument, start playing and check the color of the
SIGNAL led on the control panel: if it is red, distortion
is present and the gain must be decreased; if it is
orange, distortion is close and the gain should be
