Various Function Settings (Function Mode)
To make settings in Function mode, while pressing the [KEY TOUCH] button, hold down the [PIANO] button, and press one of the keys
shown in the illustration.
Changing the USB Flash Drive Setting (USB Memory Mode)
In some cases, when USB ash drive is connected to the USB MEMORY port, it may take longer for data to
be loaded, or data may fail to be loaded successfully. In this case, you may be able to solve the problem by
changing the USB MEMORY Mode setting to “1.” When the unit left the factory, this was set to “2.” Normally,
there is no need to make this setting.
* After you change this setting, you must turn the power o, then back on again. The new setting takes
eect when you turn the power back on.
Matching the Pitch with Other Instruments (Master Tuning)
When playing ensemble with other instruments and in other such instances, you can match the standard
pitch to another instrument.
The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note that’s played when you nger the middle A key.
For a cleaner ensemble sound while performing with one or more other instruments, ensure that each
instrument’s standard pitch is in tune with that of the other instruments. This tuning of all the instruments to
a standard pitch is called “master tuning.”
You can adjust the tuning in the range of 415.3 Hz–440.0 Hz (default)–466.2 Hz (in 0.1 Hz steps).
Changing the Key of the Keyboard (Transpose)
You can use the Transpose function to transpose the keyboard
in semitone steps.
For example, if a song is in the key of E major, and you want to
play it with the ngering of C major, set Transpose to a value of
“+4.”
Controlling Video Equipment (Visual Control Mode)
Visual Control is a function that lets you control images along with your performance.
If you’ve set Visual Control mode to “MVC” (MIDI Visual Control, p. 9) or “V-LINK,” playing the keyboard of this
unit will control the images produced by the Visual Control device connected to this unit using a USB MIDI.

MIDI Transmit Channel Settings
This setting species the MIDI channel on which this unit will transmit.
MIDI uses sixteen “MIDI channels,” which are numbered 1 through 16. By connecting MIDI devices and
specifying the appropriate MIDI channel for each device, you can play or select sounds on those devices.
This unit will receive all sixteen channels (1–16).
Preventing Double Notes When Working with a
Software Synthesizer
(Local Control)
If a software synthesizer is connected to USB
MIDI, turn this item “OFF.”
Since most software synthesizer have their
Thru function turned on, notes you play on the
keyboard may be sounded in duplicate, or get
dropped. To prevent this, you can enable the
“Local O” setting so that the keyboard and
internal sound generator will be disconnected.
If you play C E G It will sound E G B
