OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Before turning the power to the SK PRO “ON,” make sure you have connected all
peripherals (Expression Pedal, Foot Switch(es), etc.) properly. Also be sure to set the
[MASTER VOLUME] knob to its minimum setting.
NOTE: The polarity of each Foot Controller will be detected automatically.
2. Th e Power Switch is located on the left side of the Accessory Panel (right side facing
the keyboard). Turn the power to the instrument “ON.” Th e display will show,
“Loading...” below the opening screen for approximately 1 minutes while the system
software loads, then the PLAY Mode screen will display.
NOTE: If you have a Leslie Speaker connected to the instrument, the Leslie will turn “ON”
automatically.
NOTE: In order to protect the circuits, the SK PRO will be ready to play approximately 1 minutes
after the power is turned “ON.”
3. Turn the power to the connected amplifi er “ON.”
4. Hold down a playing key and turn the [MASTER VOLUME] clockwise slowly. Adjust
the [MASTER VOLUME] as needed.
NOTE: If the [MANUAL] button is pressed in the Default setting and the [ALLOCATE] buttons are
all “OFF,” no sound will be heard. You can touch any of the [ALLOCATE] buttons or select
any of the [FAVORITE] ([1] to [10]) buttons to hear sounds.
5. Adjust the volume of the amplifi er.
NOTE: To turn the SK PRO power “OFF,” reverse the above procedure. Also, be sure to turn the
power to a connected amplifi er “OFF” before turning the keyboard “OFF.” This will prevent
a loud “pop” from the amplifi er.
BACKING UP THE INITIAL SETTINGS
Th e SK PRO does not remember the status of the playing controls before the power is
turned “OFF.” Th e status of the default settings is the same as when the [FAVORITE] [1]
button is depressed.
AUTO POWER OFF
Th e SK PRO has an “AUTO POWER OFF” feature which will automatically turn the
power to the instrument “OFF” if no keys or buttons are pressed for 30 minutes.
NOTE: Depending on the status of the instrument - while editing, for example - the power may
not turn “OFF” even if AUTO POWER OFF in enabled. Therefore, it is best to turn the SK
PRO power “OFF” via the Power Switch after every use.

1. Turn the power to the SK PRO “OFF.”
2. Press and Hold the red [RECORD] button.
3, While holding the red [RECORD] button, turn the [POWER] “ON.”
3. Continue to hold down the red [RECORD] button. When “Loading Default” is
displayed, release the red [RECORD] button. Th e system will load.
