Getting Started
Quick Start
3. Connect the AC power cord to the Artis. Before plugging the cable into the power
outlet, check that the power is compatible with the Artis. The Artis runs on AC power
and works with voltages from 90 - 260 volts at 50–60 Hz. The voltage level is detected
and set automatically by the Artis. If your power source does not have the standard three
hole outlet, you should take the time to install a proper grounding system. If your power
outlet is not within these ranges it is recommended you use an appropriate adaptor.
4. Plug the power cable into the wall.
5. Plug the Switch Pedal into the marked SW1 (Sustain) Pedal jack on the Artis rear panel.
6. Connect stereo headphones to the headphone jack on the front left panel, or connect the
audio outputs to your mixer or amplifier inputs using standard (1/4-inch) audio cables
(use the Left out for mono). Balanced ("TRS" or "Stereo") cables are recommended if
your mixer or amp supports balanced inputs.
7. Make sure your sound system is at a safe volume level. Also make sure that the Artis
MASTER VOLUME slider (on the far left side of the front panel) is all the way down.

Using Artis

1. Power up the Artis, and then raise the MASTER VOLUME slider, and mixer/amp
volume. Your Artis keyboard starts up in Program Mode by default. Press one of the
buttons under the "Mode" label to the right of the display to switch Modes.
2. If you are connected to a mixing board and hear distortion, reduce the gain level on
your mixing board, or use the pad (a switch that decreases the input audio signal level, typically by
20dB) if it has one.
3. Scroll through the Programs using the Alpha Wheel, the Previous and Next buttons, or
press a Category button to audition the sounds in Artis. Take note that initially there are
no Programs or Multis stored in the Favorites buttons.
