ADJUSTING THE LEVEL OF THE
PIANO MICROPHONES
You need to adjust the level of the piano microphones
using the The PIANO MIC IN L/R LEVEL knobs on
the back panel. Play the piano and watch the L/R level
indicator on the front panel. When you play loud with
both hands the first red LED should light just for the
loudest notes. Adjust the L and R microphone levels
to be the same. Play soft and loud and also in different
key ranges when setting the microphone levels to make
sure that the level will be good regardless of how you
play the piano.

RECORDING
REST 00:00
* You can use the start timer to delay the recording so the actual
recording does immediately start when you press the play but-
ton. You can program in a delay to allow time to move your
fingers to the keys. The start timer is also useful to prevent too
much space at the beginning of the recording while you are
moving your fingers to the keys. (see pg.10).
* You can also start recording by using the foot switch (see pg.11).
