Using The Artis - Kurzweil Artis Getting Started Manual

GETTING STARTED GUIDE
5. Plug the Switch Pedal into the marked SW1 (Sustain) Pedal jack on the Artis rear panel.
6. Connect stereo headphones to the headphone jack on the front left panel (Artis7 rear
panel) or connect the audio outputs to your mixer or amplifier inputs using standard (1/4-
inch) audio cables (use the Left out for mono). Balanced ("TRS" or "Stereo") cables are
recommended if your mixer or amp supports balanced inputs.
7. Make sure your sound system is at a safe volume level. Also make sure that the Artis
Master Volume slider (on the far left side of the front panel) is all the way down.

Using the Artis

1. Power up the Artis using the power switch on the rear left side of the instrument, and then
raise the Master Volume slider, and mixer/amp volume. Your Artis keyboard starts up in
Program Mode by default. Press one of the buttons under the "Mode" label to the right
of the display to switch Modes.

2. If you are connected to a mixing board and hear distortion, reduce the gain level on your
mixing board, or use the pad (a switch that decreases the input audio signal level, typically by 20dB)
if it has one.
3. To hear the capabilities of the Artis, you can play the demo songs. Press the 13 & 14
Program/Multi buttons simultaneously to listen to a demo song.
4. In Program Mode, scroll through the Programs using the Alpha Wheel, the Previous and
Next buttons, or press a Category button to audition the sounds in the Artis. The Artis has
short demos for each of the factory Programs. To hear a Program Demo for the current
