Sync start

You can set the music sequencer playback-ready, so that it will start
playback as soon as you play a key on the keyboard. This function
can be very helpful when the music sequencer is used as an
"accompanist". The function is also available in DEMO mode.
1) Make sure that the playback tracks are active (PLAY LED above
the corresponding TRACK button lights up green). If necessary,
activate the tracks by pressing their TRACK buttons in the
SEQUENCER section.
2) Press and hold one of the active TRACK buttons, then press
the button in the SEQUENCER section.

A dot in the lower right-hand corner of the display starts flashing in
the tempo of the metronome, thus signaling that the instrument
is set to sync start mode. The sequencer starts playback as soon as
you play a key on the keyboard.

If you want to quit sync start mode, simply repeat step 2.

Start the music sequencer with foot pedal

This function allows you to reprogram the left soft pedal, so that it
can be used to start/stop the music sequencer. This is useful when
you are playing a music piece live and want to start a sequencer
accompaniment at a later point during the piece. When the pedal
has been set accordingly, you can also use it to start/stop playback
in DEMO mode.

The CDP2400USB provides several setting options to control
the global functions of the instrument. Please read below which
options are available and how you can edit their settings.

Key velocity

This parameter determines the volume of the sounds with
reference to the key velocity applied, i.e. you can set here how hard
you have to strike a key to achieve maximum volume.
The following section describes how to change the key velocity.
1) Press the KEYS button to select one of the following settings:
HARD: The keys must be played very hard to achieve
maximum volume.
MEDIUM: The keys must be played with medium velocity to
achieve maximum volume (default setting).
SOFT: The keys must be played only lightly to achieve
maximum volume.
OFF: If none of the LEDs lights up, each key stroke will
produce a defined volume, irrespective of how hard
you play the keys.
