[. . . ] To change the setting use a "minus" screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage appears next to the pointer on the panel. Weitere Informationen über die Montage des Keyboard-Ständers erhalten Sie in den Anweisungen am Ende dieses Handbuchs. WICHTIG --Überprüfung der Stromversorgung-- Vergewissern Sie sich vor dem Anschließen an das Stromnetz, daß die örtliche Netzspannung den Betriebsspannungswerten auf dem Typenschild an der Unterseite des Instruments entspricht. In bestimmten Regionen ist auf der Unterseite des Keyboards in der Nähe des Netzkabels ein Spannungswähler angebracht. Falls vorhanden, muß der Spannungswähler auf die örtliche Netzspannung eingestellt werden. Der Spannungswähler wurde werkseitig auf 240 V voreingestellt. [. . . ] When the damper pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. When you select the Grand Piano 1 voice on the BKS1, pressing the damper pedal activates the instrument's special "Sustain Samples" to accurately recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano's soundboard and strings. Sostenuto (Center) Pedal If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will sustain as long as you hold the pedal (as if the damper pedal had been pressed) but all subsequently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played "staccato. " When you press the damper pedal here, the notes you play before you release the pedal have a longer sustain. TIP Organ and string voices will continue to sound for as long as the sostenuto pedal is depressed. When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding the note, the note will sustain as long as you hold the pedal. Soft (Left) Pedal The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing when it is pressed. 28 BKS1 Owner's Manual Selecting & Playing Voices Combining Two Voices (Dual mode) You can play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. In this way, you can simulate a melody duet or combine two similar voices to create a thicker sound. Operation 1 Engage Dual mode. While holding down the [VOICE] button, press two keys in the range of C1 through A1 simultaneously (or press one key while holding another) to engage Dual. Refer to "Selecting Voices" on page 27 for more information on the voices that are assigned to the keys. TERMINOLOGY Mode: A mode is an operating condition of the instrument that allows you to perform some special function. In the Dual mode, for example, you can play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. C0 C1 A1 The voice assigned to the lower key will be designated as Voice 1, and the voice assigned to the higher key will be designated as Voice 2. You can make the following settings for Voices 1 and 2 in Dual: Dual Balance You can set one voice as the main voice, and another voice as a softer, mixed voice. While holding down the [VOICE] button, press one of the F#5-F#6 keys (see Quick Operation Guide). The current Reverb Depth setting appears on the display while both controls are held. TIP depth 0: no effect depth 20: maximum Reverb Depth TIP Default depth settings are different for each voice. Transposition ­ [TRANSPOSE] This instrument's Transpose function makes it possible to easily match the pitch of the keyboard in semitone intervals to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the transposition amount to "5, " playing the C key produces a pitch of F. In this way, you can play a song as though it were in C major, and the BKS1 will automatically transpose it to the key of F. Operation Press one of the F#5-F#6 keys while holding the [BGM] button (see Quick Operation Guide). The current amount of transposition appears on the display while both controls are held. 5 Transposition TERMINOLOGY Transpose: Changing the key signature of a song. On the BKS1, transposing shifts the pitch of the entire keyboard. To transpose the pitch down (in semitone steps) Press one of the F#5-B5 keys while holding the [BGM] button. To transpose the pitch up (in semitone steps) Press one of the C#6-F#6 keys while holding the [BGM] button. To initialize the normal pitch Press the C6 key while holding the [BGM] button. TIP The transposition range: F#5: -6 semitones C6: normal pitch F#6: +6 semitones TIP Notes below and above the C-2 . . . . G8 range of the BKS1 sound one octave higher and lower, respectively. BKS1 Owner's Manual 31 ENGLISH This setting adds a continuous reverb effect to the sound, similar to the acoustic reverberation you would hear in a room. Selecting & Playing Voices Fine Tuning of the Pitch You can fine tune the pitch of the entire instrument. This function is useful when you play the BKS1 along with other instruments or CD music. Operation You can also use the keyboard to set the pitch. To tune up (in about 0. 2Hz steps) Press the [+/YES] button while holding down the [BGM] and [PLAY/STOP] buttons. The current pitch setting appears on the display while the key combination is held. TERMINOLOGY Hz (Hertz): This unit of measurement refers to the frequency of a sound and represents the number of times a sound wave vibrates in a second. ENGLISH Example: 432. 0Hz 3 2.
