Keyboard And Pedal Setup - QRS Music Technologies PNOscan III User Manual

Keyboard Setup: To make the setup process easier, connect the MIDI Output of PNOscan III to a soundcard
equipped QRS Pianomation controller or to a MIDI sound module. As you depress each piano key during
setup you will need to hold the key down until the system accepts the key's down position. To indicate the
position has been accepted, the PNOscan III system outputs a midi note. Alternately if you don't have a
MIDI device connected, you can reference the green light on the Function button. Each time a key position
is accepted this button will light.
1. Press and hold the "Key Adj" button.
2. While holding the "Key Adj" button, press and hold the Function button.
3. Hold both buttons in until the 'Key Adj" light flashes, then release both buttons.
 The system is now in keyboard adjust mode and all previous key calibration values in memory
have been erased.
4. Once in the setup mode, start with key # 1, pressing the key firmly through its entire travel. Hold the key
down until you either hear the note play through the speaker or until the Function button lights
momentarily.

It is very important that you hold the key down until it is accepted as a position. This is
normally instantaneous but sometimes takes a couple of seconds.
5. Repeat this process for each key until all 88 notes have been accepted.
 After this process no further action is required from the user and the keyboard setup is complete.
Pedal Setup: Use the following sequence to setup the pedals.

The standard configuration includes a soft shift pedal and a sustain pedal. The Sostenuto sensor is optional. If
used, this pedal adjusts in the same way as the soft shift. The pedal press sequence is; Sustain, Sostenuto and then
Soft Shift.
1. While holding the "Pedal Adj" button, press and hold the "Function" button.
Hold both buttons until the "Pedal Adj" button starts flashing, then release both buttons.
 The system is now in pedal setup mode and all previous pedal values in memory have been erased.
2. While watching the "Function" button, firmly press the sustain pedal fully down and hold . You should
have seen a quick green flash as the pedal was depressed. Release the pedal.
3. Again, watch the "Function" button and firmly press the soft shift pedal fully down and hold. You should
have seen a quick green flash. Release the pedal.

Be sure you see the quick flash for both pedals. If you do not see this flash, exit the setup
procedure by pressing the Pedal Adjust button, then reenter pedal setup mode and start
again.
4. While watching the "Function" button, slowly depress the sustain pedal. As the pedal moves down you
will see the Function button start to flash. Hold this pedal position.

The flashing light indicates you are in the range of the optical sustain sensor and the trigger
point where midi sustain event will occur can now be set. Typically this point should be at the
same exact point where the actual dampers start to lift.
5. With the "Function" button still flashing, repeatedly tap a piano key. Continue depressing the sustain
pedal until the strings sustain. Press the "Pedal Adj" button to lock-in and save the settings and exit the
adjust mode. Release the pedal, the setup procedure is complete.
