 About 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 MP11SE'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 60) outlines storing customised sounds, capturing the
entire panel configuration as a SETUP, then recalling different SETUPs from the MP11SE's internal memory.
The Recorder chapter (page 64) 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 MP11SE's metronome/
drum pattern functions. Additional USB functions are covered in greater detail in the USB Menu chapter (page 93), while the
SYSTEM Menu chapter (page 99) explains the MP11SE's System Settings and various reset functions.
Finally, the Appendix section (page 113) 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.
