OVERVIEW
The MicroPiano is a 32-voice MIDI sound module.
Designed in a single space, half-rack unit, the
MicroPiano is very easy to use. Basically, you select
a sound by pressing the Program button, then turn-
ing the Data knob at the far right of the module.
You can also select the desired EFFECTS, CHAN-
NEL, TRANSPOSE, and TUNING modes by press-
ing one of their respective buttons on the front
panel, and you select the values in each mode with
the Data knob. The value you select for each mode
is retained until you change it, or turn the power
off.
The default setting for the Program mode is
Ò1Ó (Classical Piano). The default setting for
EFFECTS is (ÒPrgÓ). ÒPrgÓ designates that each
program selected in Program mode has its own
default effect associated with it. See the PROGRAM
and EFFECTS sections for more details about how
programs and effects interact.
The default setting for the CHANNEL mode
is Ò1.Ó The default settings for TRANSPOSE and
TUNING modes are Ò0Ó when you turn on the
MicroPiano.
Each of these modes is discussed in greater
detail in the section entitled, ÒPLAYING YOUR
MICROPIANO.Ó
