PROGRAMMING MODE
The Programming Mode gives you access to many other useful features on your CN piano. To use
the Programming Mode functions, press a key on the keyboard while holding down the TOUCH
and TRANSPOSE buttons. To exit the Programming Mode, release the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE
buttons.
The following functions can be selected in the Programming Mode:
SELECTING A TOUCH TYPE (C or D or E key)
TUNING (C-sharp or E-flat key)
MIDI CHANNEL SELECT (F or G or A key)
TRANSMIT MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE ON/OFF (B-flat key)
MULTI TIMBRAL MODE ON/OFF (A-flat key)
MIDI LOCAL CONTROL ON/OFF (F-sharp key)
RESET (B key)
1. SELECTING A TOUCH TYPE
Your CN piano lets you select from four different “Touch” types as follows:
NORMAL: The standard setting which produces volume in direct proportion to your force on
the keys. This setting is the most similar to an acoustic piano. The CN piano
automatically selects this Touch Type when the power is turned on.
LIGHT: For those still developing finger strength, such as a child, a louder sound is produced
even when the piano is played with a soft touch.
HEAVY: Perfect for those with strong fingers or for practicing with a hard touch.
CONSTANT: For tone colors like organ or harpsichord, and for playing some contemporary music
with the piano sound, a constant loud sound is produced regardless of your force on
the keys.
