Playing <Basic Operation>

Adjusting the volume

◆
Turn the [Volume] knob to adjust the volume.
Turning the knob toward the right will increase the volume,
and turning it toward the left will decrease the volume.
At the 12 o'clock position, the volume is standard and set at
about the same level as a normal harpsichord.

Adjusting the tonal character

◆
Turn the [Tone] knob to adjust the tone.
Turning the knob toward the right will make the tone brighter,
and turning it toward the left will make the tone more mellow.
* You may hear faint noise if you turn the [Tone] knob while producing
sound, but this is not a malfunction.

Adjusting the reverb

Reverberation is the sound that you hear reflected from the walls or other surface of a hall or room in addition to the sound that
reaches your ears directly from the instrument.
The C-30 provides a reverb effect that lets you simulate the reverberation of a variety of environments ranging from a small room
to a large hall, controlled by just a single knob.
◆
Turn the [Reverb] knob to adjust the amount of reverb effect.
• Turning the knob toward the right will produce deeper reverb,
simulating the acoustics of a large hall.
• Turning the knob toward the left will produce shallower
reverb, simulating the acoustics of a smaller room.
• If you turn the knob all the way to the left, you will hear the
resonance of the harpsichord's own body.

Choosing a sound

Switching sounds

◆

sound will be selected. (See following page)
