Keyboard Settings Adjusting the Tuning of the Digital Piano You can adjust the overall tuning of the digital piano for play along with another instrument. You can adjust tuning within a range of ±50 cents* from A4 = 440.0Hz. Use the keyboard keys noted below to adjust the tuning of the digital piano. Setting keys Temperament Modern pianos employ a tuning system called “Equal Temperament,” which is also used by your digital piano.
Keyboard Settings 3 Select a root by pressing one of the keys in the range shown in the illustration below. Remember to keep the SETTING button depressed. • The note for the keyboard key you press is applied as the root. If you press key F5, for example, the root becomes F. F 4 F5 • No sound is produced when the keys are pressed. • When Baroque Pitch (page E-31) is ON, the root is a half-note higher than the key you press. This means that to set a root of C, you should press B4.
Keyboard Settings Using Baroque Pitch During the Baroque Era, standard pitch (A4) was lower than the modern standard. The Baroque pitch setting of your digital piano lets you play Baroque era music at the pitch it was written for. Use the keys shown below to change the Baroque pitch setting.

MIDI What is MIDI? Specifying the Keyboard Channel MIDI is a standard for digital signals and connectors that allows musical instruments, computers, and other devices, regardless of manufacturer, to exchange data with each other. The keyboard channel is the channel used when sending MIDI messages to another MIDI device. You can specify any channel from 1 through 16 as the keyboard channel.
MIDI Sending Song Memory Playback Data You can send song memory playback as MIDI data. The send channel used depends on the keyboard channel setting, as shown in the table below.
MIDI Tone Change Data (Program Change) A program number is data used for tone selection. Program numbers come in handy when using the tones of this digital piano to play MIDI data received from an external sequencer or other MIDI device. When the program number received from another devices does not match one of the built-in tones of this digital piano, however, the tone change is ignored and play continues without a tone change.
Troubleshooting Symptom No sound produced when keyboard keys are pressed. Possible Cause 1. VOLUME slider set to MIN. 2. Headphones connected to the digital piano. 3. Local Control turned off. Keyboard out of tune. 1. Transpose is set to a value other than 0. 2. Incorrect tuning setting 3. Baroque pitch is turned on. Action Reference 1. Move VOLUME slider more towards the MAX side. 2. Disconnect the headphones from the digital piano. 3. Turn on Local control. Page E-12 1.
