Thank you for purchasing the Korg SP-500 digital piano. In order to enjoy this instrument to its fullest potential, please read this owner’s manual carefully and use the instrument as directed. 1. Introduction Introduction Before you begin Please read the sections entitled “Precautions” on p.ii of this manual. Check the included items Please make sure that the following items were included with the SP-500. • “Owner’s manual” (the book you are reading) • AC/AC power supply • Pedal • Music stand 2.
3. Main features Grand piano-like touch The SP-500 features an RH2 (Real Weighted Hammer Action 2) keyboard, which provides a differing key weight in each of four keyboard ranges, just as on a grand piano. Diverse sounds Use the keyboard to play 412 different sounds (including 16 drum kits) produced by Korg’s proprietary stereo sampling system. You can use the Layer function to play two sounds simultaneously, or the Split function to divide the keyboard and play two different sounds in separate ranges.
Playing touch is a vital aspect of a piano’s response, and you can choose from six different touch settings. This allows the SP-500 to be played by anyone from children (who tend to have a lighter touch) to experienced pianists. You can also select a setting in which playing dynamics will have no effect on the sound – ideal for playing organ sounds etc.. Introduction Touch control Temperaments You can use ten different temperaments, including classical temperaments and tunings used in ethnic music.

Connecting other equipment 1. Connecting MIDI equipment What is MIDI? MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard for connecting a variety of MIDI instruments together allowing to talk to each other. By playing the SP-500, you can connect other MIDIequipped instruments. When doing so, your sound selections and damper pedal operations etc. will control the other instrument as well.
“Keyboard” Transmit channel functions The performance data of each automatic accompaniment part will be output on this channel. Receive channel functions Use this when you wish to use an external device to control the SP-500 via MIDI with the same operation as the SP-500’s own keyboard. If [LAYER] or [SPLIT] is on, note events will be sounded in the same way as when the SP-500’s own keyboard is used. However, program changes will not be received. Recorder Track 1–Track 5 are fixed at MIDI channels 2–6.
To return to the previous display If you press the [EXIT] switch or the [FUNCTION] switch, the [FUNCTION] switch indicator will go dark, and you will return to the previous LCD screen.
