Keyboards
The DK-40C has five keyboards.
The upper four are called ''manuals" ("'solo", "portamento", "upper"
and ''lower''), and the bottom, for the feet, is the "pedals".

Solo Manual

Lower Manual

The Electone is designed to permit playing the melody on the upper manual with the right hand, the
chords on the lower manual
with the left hand, and bass note on the pedals with the left foot. For
special selections the solo manual can be used to provide a melodic line with its own exciting voices. Use
the portamento manual to create a range of unique sounds, pressing or sliding your finger(s) up and
down. All keys and pedals are arranged in the layout shown below. Each white key has a name (from
C to B), and the blacks are sharps or flats.

Note:
It should be noted that precedence is to the higher note if two
more keys are pressed simultaneously. This assures tonal clarify.
