 A bout this Owner's Manual
Before attempting to play this instrument, please read the Introduction chapter from page 10 of this owner's manual. This chapter
provides a brief explanation of each section of the MP11's control panel, an overview of its various jacks and connectors, and details
how the components of the instrument's sound are structured.
The Main Operation chapter (page 20) provides an overview of the instrument's most commonly used functions, beginning with
turning sections on and off, adjusting their volume, and selecting sounds. Later on, this chapter introduces basic sound adjustment
using the four control knobs, before examining how EFX, reverb, amp simulation, and EQ can all be applied to dramatically change
the character of the selected sound. The chapter closes with an explanation of the instrument's MIDI OUT section.
The EDIT Menu chapter (page 38) lists all available PIANO, E.PIANO, SUB, and MIDI OUT section parameters by category for convenient
reference. The STORE Button & SETUP Menus chapter (page 59) outlines storing customised sounds, capturing the entire panel
configuration as a SETUP, then recalling different SETUPs from the MP11's internal memory.
The Recorder chapter (page 63) provides instructions on how to record and play back pieces stored both in the instrument's internal
memory, and also MP3/WAV audio files saved to USB memory devices. This chapter also explains the MP11's metronome/drum
pattern functions. Additional USB functions are covered in greater detail in the USB Menu chapter (page 92), while the SYSTEM
Menu chapter (page 98) explains the MP11's System Settings and various reset functions.
Finally, the Appendix section (page 110) includes USB-MIDI driver information, software update instructions and listings of the
instrument's internal sounds and drum rhythms, effects, MIDI reference information, and full specification details.
