GETTING STARTED
1. BASIC OPERATIONS
(1) Turn on the power.
(2) Adjust the volume.
Play a note on the keyboard and adjust the volume (Moving the slider to the right raises the volume
while moving to the left lowers it.)
(3) Choose a sound.
Pressing a Sound button automatically changes the sound made by the ES4. The LED indicator of
the selected sound button will light to indicate which sound is currently in being used.
The ES4 has three sounds assigned for each Sound button. When a Sound button is pressed, the
variation number is briefly shown in the display. Pressing the same Sound button again will select
the next variation sound assigned to the Sound button.
(4) Play.
Experiment by playing the different sounds.
(5) Demo
The ES4 has a main demo and 19 built in sound demos for your listening enjoyment. Press this
button and the main demo will start. When the main demo is finished, the ES4 will play the demos
for Piano category. After the Piano demos are finished, the ES4 will play all the other sound demos
one at a time in random order. To select a specific demo, press the desired Sound button while the
demo is playing. To stop the demo, press this button again.
(6) Dual
With Dual mode you can layer two sounds together. To layer two sounds, select the first sound and
then, while holding down that Sound button, select the second sound by pressing another sound
button. If you want to layer two sounds on the same Sound button, select the first sound and then,
while holding down that Sound button, use the Value up/down buttons to select the second sound.
To adjust the volume balance of the two sounds, use the Balance buttons. The default balance is 5-
5.
NOTE:
When in Dual mode, the maximum polyphony will be reduced to 48 notes.
(7) Split
The split function divides the keyboard into two sections—upper and lower—and lets you play
each part with a different sound. First select the desired sound for upper section. Then, while
holding down the Split button, select the desired sound for the lower section. The LED Indicator
for a lower sound will start flashing. To adjust the volume balance of the two sounds, use the
Balance buttons.
