Introduction
About CD10
CD10 is a keyboard with automatic accompaniments (called Styles ). Styles allow you to play in live situations backed by the
accompaniment of a “virtual band”; a single player can give the impression that he is playing all the instruments of the band alone,
offering hours of personal enjoyment and for the pleasure of his friends.
Naturally, CD10 can also be used as a solo keyboard for performances with a real band; thanks to its realistic sounds CD10 can
perform as an electronic organ, a piano or a string orchestra.
All the CD10 sounds are “sampled”; in other words they are recordings of actual instruments using a technique similar to that used
for Compact Discs. Sampling provides sounds which are not only very realistic and clear but also extremely powerful.
To unleash more audio power, CD10 may be connected to an external amplification system (stereo amplifiers, amplified speakers,
amplified mixers) or it can exploit the built-in speakers.
Important: remember that when you turn off your instrument, all the contents of the memory will be cancelled.
Every time you turn off the instrument, all newly programmed settings return to their original factory-set values (default situation).
Split points, sounds that have been assigned to the various sections, Style selections and MIDI assignments all return to their default
settings.
The Song recorded by the Sequencer is cancelled but you can store this in an external sequencer with MIDI DUMP.
