Using Artis Se - Kurzweil Artis SE Musician's Manual

Getting Started
Quick Start
3. Connect the AC power adapter to the Artis SE. Before plugging the power adapter's
cable into a power outlet, check that the power outlet is compatible with the Artis SE.
The Artis SE runs on AC power and works with voltages from 90 - 260 volts at 50–60
Hz. The voltage level is detected and set automatically by the power supply. If your power
outlet is not within these ranges it is recommended you use an appropriate adapter.
4. Plug the power cable into the wall.
5. Plug the Switch Pedal into the marked SW1 (Sustain) Pedal jack on the Artis SE rear
panel.
6. Connect stereo headphones to the headphone jack on the rear left 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 SE
MASTER VOLUME slider (on the far left side of the front panel) is all the way down.

Using Artis SE

1. Power up the Artis SE, and then raise the MASTER VOLUME slider, and mixer/amp
volume. Your Artis SE keyboard starts up in Multi 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. Scroll through the Programs using the Alpha Wheel, the Previous and Next buttons, or
press a Category button to audition the sounds in Artis SE.
