Setting Up the SP1

1. If your SP1 has been out in the cold during shipping, give it time to warm up to room
temperature before powering it on, since condensation may have formed inside.
2. Place the SP1 on a keyboard stand or on a hard, flat, level surface.
3. Connect the DC power adaptor to the SP1 DC Power jack.
4. Make sure your power outlet is compatible with the included power adaptor, then plug
the power cable into the power outlet.
5. Plug the included Switch Pedal into the SW1 (SUSTAIN) jack on the SP1 rear panel.
6. If you have a MIDI CC pedal (also known as a MIDI expression or volume pedal), plug
it into the CC (VOLUME) jack for volume control.
7. If you are using speakers, turn the master volume all the way down on your amplifier
or mixer. Using standard (1/4-inch) audio cables, first plug into the input jacks of your
amplifier or mixer, then plug the other end of the cables into the SP1 AUDIO OUT
jacks. (Connecting in this order minimizes the possibility of static discharge damage.) For
a mono signal, only use the LEFT (MONO) jack, and leave the RIGHT jack unplugged.
8. If you are using headphones, connect stereo headphones to the headphone jack on the
rear panel.
9. Turn the SP1 MASTER VOLUME knob (on the far left side of the front panel) counter
clockwise to the minimum setting.

Powering On the SP1

1. Power on the SP1 by pressing and holding the POWER button on the right rear panel.
2. If you are using speakers, turn up the volume on your amplifier or mixer.
3. Slowly turn up the SP1 MASTER VOLUME knob and play some notes to check the
volume level. (If you have a CC pedal plugged into the CC (VOLUME) jack, make sure
it is set to the maximum volume position).
4. If you are using speakers and the SP1 is not loud enough, turn up the volume on your
amplifier or mixer.
