[Work Procedure] - Adjusting the stop rail height per section - In the GP, the distance between the keybed and the string undersurfaces may vary depending on the areas of the piano. In the GP-ATX, it is possible to adjust the stop rail height per section to follow the variation of this distance, and make sure that the muting happens at the 4 mm point of let-off.
【C】Adjusting the Sensor Height [Preparation] ・Phillips Screwdriver No.2 ・Flat screwdriver No.2 The height of the sensor is one of the elements that has a direct influence on the emission of the electronic sound and the muting position. For instances, if the sensor is located at an extremely high position, the position of emitting sound may be higher than the position where the hammer stops by the stop rail.
【D】Adjusting the Controller View from the piano underside [Preparation] Sound Source Box ・Phillips Screwdriver No.2 The GP-ATX is equipped with a drawer-style controller that does not compromise the appearance of the piano. Therefore if an adjustment is needed for appearance or operational reasons between the controller box and the control panel (containing the LCD and the operation buttons in a pull-out style), follow the procedures below.
【E】Adjusting the Pedal Sensor 【F】Adjusting the Transducer [Preparation] [Preparation] ・Phillips Screwdriver No.2 ・Phillips Screwdriver No.2 ・10 mm Wrench In the GP-ATX, the sensors sensing the movement of pedals are housed in the box located over the pedal rods. A type of guard called “push nut” is fixed on the pedal rod, and this drives functionally the volume (for Loud The GP-ATX-f is equipped with a soundboard speaker.
【G】Replacing and adjusting the Drive Lever (P) [Preparation] ・Phillips Screwdriver No. 2 The install position of the drive lever (P) is very important since it has direct influence on the muting performance (See 〔2〕 【A】 for details).When replacing the drive lever (P), follow carefully the procedures below, and install it paying extremeattention to the lengthwise position (Length A) from the keybed front side.
