Action Page
Playing the keyboard causes internal
hammers to operate, and the
vibrations may be transmitted to
the floor or walls. To minimize such
vibrations, you can move the piano
away from the wall, or lay down a
commercially available anti-vibration
mat designed for use with pianos.
If you don't need the power to turn
off automatically, turn the Auto Off
setting "Off. "
Power-off the unit before you
connect or disconnect the pedal
cord.
Return the pedal function (Center
Pedal, Left Pedal) to its previous
setting.
If you connect external devices, be
sure to connect them to the same
AC outlet.
Set Local Control to "On. "
Use an expression pedal to adjust the
volume.
Press the [Split/Dual] button to turn
off Dual Play.
If you don't want the other sound
module to produce sound, turn your
DAW's soft thru function "off. "
If Local Control is turned "On, " set
