[. . . ] A CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product. IMPORTANT SAFETY & INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS WARNING: When using electric products, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. Read all of the Safety and Installation Instructions and Explanation of Graphic Symbols before using the product. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a power supply cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. [. . . ] If you want, you can connect a second MIDI cable from the MIDI Out port of the slave to the MIDI In port of the master. With the cables connected this way, either instrument can be the master or the slave. 5 The Kurzweil Troubadór Setting Up If the slave instrument has line-level audio outputs, you can connect those outputs to the Troubad--rÕs Audio In jacks to play the slave instrument through the Troubad--r. Using a Computer People often use instruments like the Troubad--r with personal computers. There are many software packages available that enable you to record or compose music, then play it back. One of the most common types of music software is called sequencing software, which lets you record music much as you would with a tape recorder. ItÕs easy to set things up so that you can play the Troubad--r and have a computer record all the information. Then the computer can play the music back through the Troubad--r. For a setup like this, both the Troubad--r and the computer have to be able to be both the master and the slave at different timesÑso youÕll need two MIDI cables. Take the Þrst MIDI cable, and connect one end to the Troubad--rÕs MIDI Out port, and the other end to the computerÕs MIDI In port. Connect one end of the second MIDI cable to the Troubad--rÕs MIDI In port, and the other end to the computerÕs MIDI Out port. Now both the Troubad--r and the computer can send MIDI data to each other, and receive MIDI data from each other. Caution: Decrease the Troubad--rÕs volume before plugging in your headphones or connecting the Audio Out jacks. Warning: The Troubad--r has no control over the volume of sounds that it receives at its Audio In jacks. If you want to change the volume of these external sounds, adjust the volume of the instrument or sound system thatÕs sending the sounds to the Troubad--r. The Demonstration Song The Troubad--r comes with a demonstration song (a recording technically known as a sequence) that shows the Troubad--rÕs sounds and effects. To play the demo, Þrst press the Function button (see Figure 4). When you press the button, the LED above it lights. Now press the Play button (in the Recorder section of the control panel), and the demo begins. Note that the LED above the Play button is lit, and the LED above the Function button has gone out. The demo lasts about two minutes, and stops automatically when itÕs Þnished. To stop the demo before it Þnishes, press the Play button. The demo stops and the LED goes out. Selecting Sounds When you turn on your Troubad--r, it starts up with the Grand Piano sound. You can change a sound at any time by pressing one of the Sound Select buttons (see Figure 4. ). [. . . ] The LED above the Function button goes out when you play a key, and the Troubad--r returns to normal playing mode. There are two ways to turn local control back on: ¥ ¥ Turn off the Troubad--r, then turn it on again. Press the Function button, then play C 6. Stereo/Monaural When you turn on your Troubad--r, it always sets itself to play in stereo, which means that the audio output is split into two parts. One part goes to the left speaker (or to the Left Audio Out jack), and the other part goes to the right speaker (or to the Right Audio Out jack). [. . . ]
