O PITCH (Pitch Control)
Turning this control clockwise raises the instrument's
overall pitch, while turning it counterclockwise lowers the
overall pitch. Standard pitch of 440 Hz (A3) is obtained
when the control is set slightly to the left of its center
position. Control range is from 436 to 447 Hz.
@ VOLUME
Adjusts the overall volume of the PF10's sound.
@ When using an external amplifier and speaker system,
setting the external amplifier volume control so that the
most comfortable overall volume is obtained when the
PF10's VOLUME control is set to about “8” results in
the best sound quality.
© STEREO CHORUS
This switch turns the PF10’s vibrant stereo chorus effect
ON or OFF.
e The chorus effect is not produced on sounds coming
through the PF10 from external components.
O TONE SELECT
These switches determine the basic PF10 sound. There are
10 basic selections: PLANO 1, 2 and 3, HARPSICHORD 1
and 2, ELECTRIC PIANO 1, 2 and 3, VIBRAPHONE
and CLAV. When the A/B selection switch is in the A
position (L) the sounds written on the upper line are
obtained for each TONE SELECT switch. When in the B
position (=), the sounds written on the lower line are
obtained. Choose the sound you want using the A/B
selection switch and the appropriate TONE SELECT
switch.
e lf all the TONE SELECT switches are off, PIANO 1 is
automatically selected.
@ To change the sound, wait until the present sound
completely disappears before pressing the next TONE
SELECT switch to avoid erroneous sound selection.
@ if two or more TONE SELECT switches are pressed at
the same time, the switch on the right is selected auto-
matically.

@ KEY TRANSPOSE
While the keyboard has exceptional range thanks to its 76
keys and six octave range, even further versatility is pro-
vided by the KEY TRANSPOSE function, which allows
you to adjust the sounds of the keys another half-octave
up and down. Thus you can have a full octave more of
sound, and all sounds are adjusted accordingly.
e For normal operation, the KEY TRANSPOSE lever is
set in the “C” position.
fa do mi
When the KEY TRANSPOSE lever is placed in the ''C'' position,
this key produces the sound “do”,
When the lever is in the ''E'' position, this key produces the
sound ''mi''.
When the lever is in the “A” position, this key produces the
sound ''la''.
