settinps. These settings determine how the keyboard will
respond to certain playing dynamics. Choose the setting

KE TOUCH
Medium Pa UA

setting is generally perceived as being the most natural.

and fortissimo levels can be achieved with much less
effort.
aen AVR
Heavy = pe
With this setting, the keys will seem heavier to the touch,
and you will need to apply even mare force than normal
to obtain fortissimo levels.

For Those Who Wish To Use MIDI
Those satisfied with playing the piano by itself need not
read the following.
About MIDI...
The MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) standard
was created to provide tor the exchange of perlormance
information among electronic musical instruments and
computers.
The MIDI Connectors
Take a look at the rear panel of your piano. You should be
able to quickly find the two MIDI sockets. These connec-
tors enable the piano to 'converse' with other MIDI-
equipped units. The two connectors function as follows:
MIDI
OUT IN
LI []
o o 9 0
OoG, 009
e NIDI IN Connector
This connector is where messages trom other MDI-
equipped units are received, and can be likened to the
"ears" which listen to what the other instrument has to
convey.
* MIDE OUT Connector
From this connector, messages are sent out to other
MIDlI-equipped units. It can be likened to the "mouth"
in the ongoing dialogue between the units.
In order to enable communication between two devices,
vou need to run a cable, such as shown at right, between
their respective MIDI connectors.
