(16) EQ
EQ changes overall sound character of the ES4. There are three types of EQ setting. To change the
EQ type, press the Reverb button while holding down the Touch and Transpose buttons. The LED
display shows "Eq" and the EQ number alternatively. Use the Value buttons to select the desired
EQ.
EQ 1 Recommended for normal playing circumstances like in a living room or classroom.
With headphones, the normal sound of the ES4 is reproduced.
EQ2 Recommended when you play with ES4 facing a wall.
With headphones, the higher frequencies are enhanced compared to EQ1 or EQ3.
EQ3 Recommended when you play the ES4 using external speakers or when recording.
With headphones, the normal sound of the ES4 is reproduced (same as EQ1).
EQ settings are global for all the preset sounds. You cannot have an individual setting for each
sound,
2. TRANSPOSE
The transpose function lets you raise or lower the piano's key in half steps. This is especially useful
when you have learned a song in one key and have to play it in another key. The transpose feature
allows you to play the song in the original key, but hear it in another key.
(1) Press and hold the Transpose button. The LED display shows you the current value. The value
is always set to "O" when the power is turned on.
(2) While still holding the Transpose button, use the Value buttons or the keyboard from C2 to C4 to
specify the transposition amount. The LED display shows you a number telling you how many half
steps up or down you have transposed the piano. -5, for example, represents a transposition that is
5 half steps lower. "0" indicates no transposition.
(3) The piano can be transposed up to 12 half steps higher or 12 half steps lower.
(4) Pressing Transpose button again turns the Transpose function off. The Transpose function
remembers the current setting as long as the power is on.
3. TOUCH RESPONSE
The Touch button is used to select a different touch sensitivity of the keyboard from the standard
touch of an acoustic piano. You can change the sensitivity to one of five different settings: LIGHT 1/
2, HEAVY 1/2 and OFF,
