When you have made all the connections, you can turn on the keyboard. If you do not press any key for more than 3 minutes, the keyboard will go into standby mode to save power. When you press a key again, the device switches on again.

Operation

Overall volume (Volume) / Volume of the accompaniment

After switching on, you can adjust the volume in steps with the keys (8) Volume (+) and (-). Volume setting for the accompaniment function (Accomp.) is done with the keys (9). If you press (+) and (-) at the same time, the volume will be reset to the value after switching on.

Demo songs and percussion instruments

You can call up 24 different demo songs. Started with the "Demo Song" key (15), all songs are played one after the other. By pressing the second key or the (+/-) keys, you select the next or previous song. Stop the playback with the "Start/Stop" key (3).

After switching on, the keyboard is set to "Piano". You can set the keyboard to 255 different instruments (timbres): Press the Instrument/Timbre key (16), then use the (+/-) keys or the numeric keys to select an instrument according to the label.

Selecting a sound effect

Rhythm accompaniment

You can choose between 255 different rhythms: Press the Rhythm key (17) and select a rhythm with the (+/-) keys or with the numeric keys. Use the Start/Stop key (3) to start or stop the accompaniment rhythm.

With the "Sync" key (4), you activate synchronization of the accompaniment keys (1-19 of the keyboard) to the rhythm of the accompaniment. This means that when you press a key, the accompaniment chord will sound at the beat tempo.

Press the "Fill In" key (5) and 1-2 bars of rhythm variation will be inserted.

Use the keys (10) Tempo (+/-) to change the tempo of the rhythm accompaniment.

In "Fingered" mode, you play several keys to one chord. If the rhythm function is also activated by pressing the key (17), the automatic chord accompaniment is executed. By pressing the "Single" or "Fingered" key again, you deactivate this function.

Learning functions "One Key" and "Ensemble"

Play a demo song and after pressing the "One Key" (21) or "Follow" (22) button, you can play the song note by note. In the "One Key" setting, the song continues even if you play a wrong note.

Play a demo song and after pressing the "Ensemble" key (23), the automatic accompaniment plays by itself, and you can play the main melody to it. If you do not press any key on the keyboard within 8 beats, the keyboard will play the main melody. When the song is over, the next demo song will be played. The "Ensemble" learning function is terminated by pressing the key (23) again. You can also activate the desired learning function first and then start the demo song.

Split

Press the "Split" key (14) to divide the keyboard into two halves. The 24 keys on the left side of the keyboard now sound one octave higher, and the remaining keys on the right side one octave lower.
