Setup

1. Assembly

The Classic Cantabile DP-50 WM Digital Piano requires assembly.

1. Unpack all components carefully.
2. Assemble the piano stand structure according to the diagrams.
3. Attach the pedal unit to the stand.
4. Carefully place the main keyboard unit onto the assembled stand, ensuring it is securely fastened.

Operating Instructions

1. Basic Playback

• Volume Control: Adjust the master volume using the dedicated knob or buttons.
• Voice Selection: The piano features 14 different voices. Use the voice selection buttons or menu to choose your desired instrument sound (e.g., Grand Piano, Electric Piano, Organ, Strings).
• Touch Response: The 88 weighted hammer-action keys provide a realistic piano feel. The touch response allows for dynamic expression based on how hard or soft you press the keys.

2. Pedal Functions

The DP-50 WM includes three pedals, mimicking an acoustic piano:

• Soft Pedal (Left): Reduces the volume and softens the tone of the notes played.
• Sostenuto Pedal (Middle): Sustains only the notes held down at the moment the pedal is pressed, allowing subsequent notes to be played without sustain.
• Sustain Pedal (Right): Sustains all notes played while the pedal is held down, allowing them to ring out longer.

• Layer Function: Combine two different voices to play simultaneously (e.g., piano and strings).
• Split Function: Divide the keyboard into two sections, allowing different voices to be played with the left and right hands.
• Twin Function (Duo Mode): Splits the keyboard into two identical pitch ranges, ideal for student-teacher lessons.
• Recording Function: Record your performances directly on the piano. Consult the manual for specific recording and playback procedures.
• Metronome: Use the built-in metronome to practice with precise timing. Adjust tempo and beat as needed.
