Voices
The Concert digital piano features 10 voices. Each of the 5 Voice
buttons has an Original voice and a Variation voice to choose from:
Layer Mode
Layer Mode allows for two different voices to be layered together for a
fuller and richer sound.
To enable Layer Mode:
1. Press the Layer button to enter Layer Mode. The Layer button LED
will be lit green.
2. Select the first voice by pressing one of the Voice buttons to
choose between its Original or Variation voice.
3. Press the Layer button again. The Layer button LED will be lit red.
4. Select the second voice by pressing one of the Voice buttons to
choose between its Original or Variation voice.
5. Press the Layer button again. The Layer button LED will be lit
amber.
6. Play the keys to hear the two different voices layered together.
Note: When you are selecting which voices will be layered, the first
voice you select will be set as the Upper voice, and the second
voice you select will be set as the Lower voice. See Advanced
Functions > Voice Volume to learn how to adjust the levels of the
Upper and Lower voices.
Split Mode
Split Mode allows you to split the 88 keys into two zones so that you
can have two different voices for each of your hands. For example,
you may want the Piano voice for your right hand, and the Bass
voice for your left hand. When Split Mode is enabled, the left hand
voice is referred to as the Split voice.
To enable Split Mode:
1. Select the voice you would like to be in the right-hand zone.
2. Press and hold the Split button, then press one of the Voice
buttons to select the Split voice for the left-hand zone and then
release the Split button to enter Split Mode. The Split button
LED will be lit when Split Mode is enabled.
3. Play the keys and you will hear that the right-hand and left-hand
zones will have different voices.
To disable Split Mode, press the Split button again. The Split
button LED will turn off when Split Mode is disabled.
To set the key for where the split point between the right-hand voice
and left-hand voice occurs, use the following procedure:
1. Press and hold the Split button, and then press the key where you
would like the split to occur.
2. Release the Split button to confirm the new split point.
Note: When you are using Split Mode and Layer Mode at the same
time, the right-hand zone of the split will play both layered voices,
and the left-hand zone of the split will play the Split voice only.
Note: See the Advanced Functions section of this manual to learn how
to adjust the level of the Split voice.

Touch Sensitivity
The Concert Digital Piano is equipped with touch response for
controlling volume level with your playing strength—just like an
acoustic piano. That means the harder you play the keys, the more
volume you’ll hear from the speakers. Turning this function off
results in a fixed volume level, no matter how hard or soft you play
the keys. There are 3 types of touch settings (Off, 1–3).
To set the touch sensitivity:
1. Press the Metronome and Lesson buttons at the same
time to enter Advanced Function Mode. The two button
LEDs will be lit.
2. Use the Touch keys to select an appropriate touch level.

Pedal Resonance
Pedal resonance is a function that simulates the reverberation of

you use the included sustain pedal with Pedal Resonance enabled,
the Concert reproduces the rich harmonics and unique sound
characteristics of an acoustic piano.

time to enter Advanced Function Mode. The two button
LEDs will be lit.

Advanced Function Mode.
Note: When the Pedal Resonance is activated, the chorus effect will be
automatically disabled.
Lesson Mode
For instructional purposes, the Lesson Mode feature divides the 88
keys into two zones with the same pitch-range and voice. This
enables both student and teacher to easily watch each other and
play together without having to move away from the piano, take
turns, or reach over each other.
To enable or disable Lesson Mode, press the Lesson button.
To select a voice for both zones in Lesson Mode, press one of the Voice
buttons.
To change the split point in Lesson Mode, press and hold the Split
button, press a key between C3 and C6, and then release the Split
button. The default split point is E3.
To change the octave of the two zones in Lesson Mode:
1. While in Lesson Mode, press the Metronome and Lesson
buttons at the same time to enter Advanced Function Mode. The
two button LEDs will be lit.
2. Use the keys marked Octave + or Octave - to adjust the octave
value. Press both keys at the same time to restore the default
octave value to 0.
3. Press both the Metronome and Lesson buttons again to exit
Advanced Function Mode.
