PLAYING THE DEMO SONGS Your P-100 is programmed with two songs that demonstrate the instrument’s capabilities. You might want to try playing these songs to set the volume level and make sure that everything is working properly after you finish setting up the P-100. To do so, follow the steps below. 1 . Turn on the P-100. Move the [VOLUME] slider down to a low level, then press the [POWER] switch to turn on the P-100. If you have connected your P-100 to an external amplifier, you should turn the

PLAYING THE P-100 Selecting a voice Once you’ve set up the P-100 and adjusted the volume level, you’re ready to start making music. The standard mode for playing the P-100 is known as Single mode. In this mode, as its name implies, the P-100 plays only a single voice. Playing the P-100 in Single mode is thus much like playing a normal acoustic piano. The biggest difference between the P-100 and an acoustic piano is the fact that the P-100 lets you choose between ten different voices. NO. DESCRI

Voice polyphony As the table above shows, the P-100 produces 32 notes of polyphonic sound for seven of its voices. For convenience, we will refer to these voices as 32-note The remaining three voices can produce only 16 simultaneous notes. The first voice, PIANO 1, is a stereo voice, created using stereo sampling techniques. If you wish, however, you can switch it to mono (for 32 notes output) by pressing and holding the [PIANO l] button for a few moments. When you do so, the following display

Using the reverb effect Reverb adds warmth to sounds by creating the impression of an acoustic environment. The P-100 lets you select one of three different types of reverb to apply to each voice. The ROOM setting simulates the reverberation characteristics of a normal-sized room. STAGE reproduces the reverberations you would hear during a live on-stage performance. HALL gives a sense of a room with more space between the walls. Finally, the OFF setting — a fourth option which does not appear as

Using the modulation effects In addition to the reverb effect, the P-100 lets you apply one of three different modulation effects to its voices. CHORUS is a modulated delay effect that adds thickness to a voice, making it sound as though more than one instrument is being played. The SYMPHONIC effect is a heavier chorus. TREMOLO applies a tremolo effect to voices by modulating their output level. Finally, an OFF setting allows you to play without modulation. These modulation effects have nothing

Adjusting the equalization The P-100’s equalizer works much like the three-band graphic equalizers found on many portable stereo sets. It allows you to adjust the P-100’s output in three frequency ranges, LOW, MIDDLE and HIGH. Slide the slider for each range up to increase the level of output, or down to decrease output in that range. The graph below should give you an idea how you can use the equalizer to modify the sound output by the P-100. 11
