Playing the Keyboard


Opening/Closing the Fallboard
To open the fallboard, hold the hand grip with both hands, then lift the fallboard slightly, and push it up until it is fully upright. To close the fallboard, lower the fallboard back in place gently with both hands.

(Figure)
CAUTION
Be careful to avoid catching your fingers when opening/closing the fallboard.

The fallboard is equipped with the special SOFT-CLOSE TM mechanism which closes the cover slowly. 

CAUTION
Hold the fallboard with both hands when opening or closing it. Do not release it until it is fully opened or closed. Be careful to avoid catching fingers (yours or others, especially children's) between the fallboard and the unit.
Do not apply excessive force when closing the fallboard. Applying excessive force to the fallboard when closing it could damage the SOFT-CLOSE TM mechanism, and possibly result in injury to your hands and fingers caught under the closing fallboard.
Do not place anything (such as metal objects or pieces of paper) on top of the fallboard. Small objects placed on the fallboard may fall inside the unit when the fallboard is opened and may be nearly impossible to remove. Once inside, they could cause electric shock, short circuit, fire or other serious damage to the instrument.

The shape of the plug and outlet differ depending on your area.

NOTE
When disconnecting the power cord, first turn off the power, then follow this procedure in reverse order.

WARNING
Use only the AC power cord supplied with the instrument. If the supplied power cord is lost or damaged and needs to be replaced, contact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a fire and shock hazard!
The type of AC power cord provided with the instrument may be different depending on the country in which the instrument was purchased. (In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin configuration of the AC wall outlets in your area.) Do NOT modify the plug provided with the instrument. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

CAUTION
When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet.

Adjusting the Master Volume
To adjust the volume level by using the [MASTER VOLUME] control located at the front left, just below the keyboard while playing the keyboard. 

(Figure)
Level decreases.
Level increases.

CAUTION
Do not use this instrument at a high volume level for a long period of time, to avoid hearing damage.

Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC)
This function automatically adjusts and controls the sound quality according to the overall volume of the instrument. Even when the volume is low, it permits both low sounds and high sounds to be clearly heard. Note that the IAC is effective only from the sound output of the instrument speakers.

To turn on/off the IAC: 
While holding down [FUNCTION], press the C0 key repeatedly (if necessary). The setting ("On" or "OFF") appears on the display.

Default setting: On

To adjust the IAC Depth: 
While holding down [FUNCTION], press one of the keys between A0 to D sharp 1. 

(Figure)
Lowest key (A minus 1)

Setting range: minus 3 to 0 to 3
Default setting: 0

The higher the value, the more clearly that low and high sounds are heard at lower volume levels. 


Using Headphones
Since this instrument is equipped with two [PHONES] jacks, you can connect two sets of standard stereo headphones. If you are using only one set of headphones, insert a plug into either jack; this automatically shuts off the speakers. You can conveniently hang the headphones on the headphone hanger.

CAUTION
Avoid listening to the instrument at a high volume level through headphones for a long period of time, to prevent hearing damage.

NOTICE
Do not hang anything other than the headphones on the hanger. Otherwise, the instrument or the hanger may be damaged.

Reproducing the Natural Sound Distance Sensation (when using Headphones)--Binaural Sampling and Stereophonic Optimizer
This instrument features two advanced technologies that allow you to enjoy exceptionally realistic, natural sound, even though listening on headphones.

Binaural Sampling ("CFX Grand" Voice only)
Binaural sampling is a method that uses two special microphones set at the ear position of a performer and records the sound from a piano as it is. Listening to the sound with this effect through headphones gives the impression of being immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the piano. Moreover, you can enjoy the sound naturally for a long time without ear strain. When the default Voice, "CFX Grand" (page 17) is selected, connecting the headphones automatically enables the binaural sampling sound.

Stereophonic Optimizer (Piano Voices other than "CFX Grand")
The Stereophonic Optimizer is an effect which reproduces natural sound distance like the sound of binaural sampling even though you hear it on headphones. When one of the Piano Voices other than "CFX Grand" (Display numbers 2 to 5; page 17) is selected, connecting headphones enable the Stereophonic Optimizer.

Turning the Binaural Sampling and Stereophonic Optimizer functions on/off 
When headphones are connected, the sound from this instrument changed to the sound of Binaural Sampling or the sound enhanced with the Stereophonic Optimizer. Since these sounds are optimized for listening with headphones, we recommend that you set this function to "OFF" (as described below).

You should turn these functions off when: 
Playing the sound of this instrument with an external powered speaker system or a mixer, while monitoring the sound output from this instrument on connected headphones.
Making an audio recording (page 28) and then playing that recorded audio Song through speakers. 
(Make sure to turn off these functions before using audio recording.) 

NOTE
Before connecting an external powered speaker system, be sure to read "Using an External Stereo System for Playback--AUX OUT [R] [L/L+R] jacks" (page 36).

While holding down [PIANO/VOICE], press the C6 key repeatedly (if necessary) to turn this function on/off. The setting ("On" or "OFF") appears on the display.

Default setting: On

Using the Pedals
The instrument has three pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.

(Figure)

Damper Pedal (Right)
Pressing this pedal will sustain notes longer. Releasing this pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. The damper pedal features a half-pedal function.

(Figure)
If you press and hold the damper pedal here, all the notes shown will be sustained. 

Half-pedal function
This function allows the sustain length to vary depending on how far the pedal is pressed. The farther you press the pedal, the more the sound sustains. For example, if you press the damper pedal and all notes you are playing sound a bit murky and loud with too much sustain, you can release the pedal half way to subdue the sustain (murkiness).

To set the Half Pedal Point: 
While holding down [PIANO/VOICE], press one of the A sharp 4 to E5 keys. This operation sets the degree to which pressing the damper pedal applies the half-pedal effect. The smaller the value, the shallower the half-pedal point. The larger the value, the deeper the half-pedal point.

(Figure)
Highest key (C7)

Setting range: minus 2 to 4
Default setting: 0

GP Responsive Damper Pedal
This special pedal has been designed to provide enhanced tactile response and, when pressed, is much closer in feel to the pedal of an actual grand piano. It makes it easier to physically experience the half-pedal point and more easily apply the half-pedal effect than other pedals. 

Sostenuto Pedal (Center)
Pressing this pedal while holding the notes will sustain the pressed notes (as if the damper pedal had been pressed), but all subsequently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while the other notes are played "staccato."

(Figure)
If you press and hold the sostenuto pedal here, only the notes held at this timing will be sustained. 

NOTE
While the sostenuto pedal is held, the Organ Voices (Display numbers 12 to 15; page 17) sound continuously without decay after the notes have been released.

Soft Pedal (Left)
Pressing this pedal will reduce the volume and slightly change the timbre of the notes. The notes played before this pedal is pressed are not affected.
