Headphones
The headphones output is located on the rear side of the device.
Connecting headphones (not supplied) to the headphones output mutes the
speakers.
Pedal
Connect the supplied Sustain pedal to the provided connector on the rear side of the
device.
Pedal functions:
Sustain pedal
With the sustain pedal all played notes sound longer. This effect simulates the
lifting of the damper in an analogue keyboard instrument.
USB to host
Via this output, the MIDI data generated by the digital piano are transferred to a PC
(MIDI stands for ‘Musical Instrument Digital Interface’ and enables the electronic
interaction of various instruments and sound modules as a worldwide standard).
At the same time, the audio signal from the digital piano is transmitted to a con‐
nected PC via this output and can be recorded and reproduced using appropriate
software.
NOTICE!
To prevent damage to the speakers, turn the volume down to ‘Min‐
imum’ before you connect other devices to the digital piano.

Operating
Setting Meaning
‘F#1’ Soft (0...30)
In this setting, the volume is lower than usual even when
playing with a hard touch.
‘G#1’ Normal (31...70)
This setting corresponds to the usual touch response of a key‐
board (factory default setting).
‘A#1’ Hard (71...127)
In this setting, the volume is higher than usual even when
playing with a soft touch.
In Edit mode, various parameters of the digital piano can be customized. Keep
[METRONOME] and [TEMPO] pressed to enter the Edit mode.
The piano is tuned to 440 Hz by default. That's why the piano does not need to be
tuned after turning on. If desired, the tuning of the piano can be adjusted in small
increments -50 and +50 (one semitone).
1. Enter the Edit mode. Keep [METRONOME] and [TEMPO] pressed.
2. Use [A#-1] to tune the piano in semitone increment.
3. Use [METRONOME] and [TEMPO] to exit the Edit mode.
With this function you can activate the MIDI output of the digital piano. The MIDI out
channels range from 1 to 16. Enter the Edit mode. Keep [METRONOME] and [TEMPO]
pressed.
To change the value of the MIDI OUT channel, proceed as follows:
1. Press [A#0] according to the value of the desired MIDI out channel.
2. The number of hits on [C3] sets the value of the MIDI out channel. The default
MIDI out channel is set to 1. Press [A#0] once in Edit mode. To confirm that the
MIDI out channel is set to 1, the tone C3 is reproduced once.

3. Example: Pressing key [A#0] nine times will play the tone C3 ten times. This
confirms that the MIDI out channel value has been set to 10.
Pressing the Panic button sends the commands ‘Reset all controllers’ and ‘All sounds
off’ as MIDI messages to all MIDI channels from 1 – 16.
This function can particularly be used when notes ‘hang’ in external MIDI
devices or MIDI software.
The Local On / Off function disconnects the keyboard from its internal sound system.
This allows you to use the piano as a MIDI controller for other MIDI devices (or for
virtual software instruments running on your computer). If you are running MIDI
sequencing software, it is also recommended to run it in Local Off mode.
1. Enter the Edit mode. Keep [METRONOME] and [TEMPO] pressed.
2. Press [D#1] for Local On / Off
n ‘Local: ON’ – built-in sound system activated (double key touch sound).
n ‘Local: OFF’ – built-in sound system deactivated (single key touch sound).
3. Keep [METRONOME] and [TEMPO] pressed to exit the Edit mode.
When switching off the built-in sound system, the speakers as well as the
line and headphones outputs are switched off.

Use [METRONOME] and [TEMPO] to transpose the entire keyboard by twelve semi‐
tones up or down. Use [D#2] to call up the ‘Transpose’ function. Use the piano keys
[C2] to [C4] to transpose the value range. By default, the value corresponding to [C3]
is set.
