Chapter 1 Introducing the Stage Piano Welcome! Congratulations, and thank you for purchasing a Kurzweil / Young Chang Stage Piano. YouÕve got your hands on an excellent-sounding and ßexibleÑyet economicalÑperformance instrument and MIDI controller. This manual will get you started with your new instrument. YouÕll deÞnitely want to keep the manual handy as you become an advanced user, also. Stage Piano Overview The Stage Piano is a great live performance instrument.
Introducing the Stage Piano The Keyboard The Keyboard Depending on model, the keyboard has 76 keys (E1ÐG7) or a full 88 keys (A0ÐC8). These are full-sized, weighted keys, the equal of keyboards found on more expensive synthesizers and controllers. The keyboard is velocity-sensitive, meaning the harder (faster) you press a key, the louder the voice (except for organ voices which, realistically, are not velocity-sensitive).
Introducing the Stage Piano Connectors Connectors The rear panel has a total of 8 connectors: ¥ Left and Right audio jacks accept standard 1/4-inch mono plugs connected to your stereo audio system. (See Changing to Mono Output on page 2-5 for how to obtain a mono output.) ¥ Headphone jack accepts a standard 1/4-inch stereo plug. ¥ MIDI In and Out jacks for connecting to external sound modules or a computer. ¥ Control pedal jack for connecting to a continuous-control pedal.
Chapter 2 Getting Started This chapter will help you hook up your Stage Piano and learn its basic functions. Unpacking the Instrument The box that your Stage Piano ships in contains the following: ¥ The Stage Piano ¥ AC Adapter (12V DC, 0.5A) ¥ Single switch pedal ¥ Four adhesive-backed rubber feet ¥ This manual ¥ Warranty card Be sure to keep the box and packing materials, at least during the warranty period, in case you need to ship the unit for any reason.
Getting Started Playing the Demo Playing the Demo To play the demonstration song, press the left-most two buttons (Internal/Setup and MIDI Prog Change) at the same time. YouÕll hear a short demonstration of the sounds and effects. The unit must be in Play mode (all LEDs to the left of the display off) for this to work. The demo can be stopped before it is complete by pressing any button. NOTE: MIDI signals from the demo song will not be sent.
Getting Started The Rear Panel Power Switch Press the white dot to turn the Stage Piano on or the blank area to turn it off. If it will be off for a long period of time, unplug the power adapter from the wall. The Stage PianoÕs hi-tech EEPROM memory is like a computerÕs hard drive and needs no power or battery to retain information. So there is no advantage in leaving the power on. Power Jack Plug the cord from the included power adapter into this jack.
Getting Started The Rear Panel MIDI Ports Use the MIDI Out port to connect to an external sound module like a Kurzweil K2600R. Use the MIDI In port to connect to a computer for use in sequencer applications. See page 2-6 through page 2-10 for more possibilities. Connecting Switch Pedals The included single switch pedal will, by default, act like a piano damper pedal and will control sustain. Of course this can be changed by programming as described in Chapters 3 and 4.
Getting Started Connecting to Your Audio System Connecting to Your Audio System The Audio Output jacks are professional 1/4-inch ÒphoneÓ jacks so if you are connecting to an audio system with ÒRCAÓ jacks, you will need two Òphone plug-toRCA plugÓ adapter cables.
Getting Started Connecting Headphones Connecting Headphones The Phones jack is designed to drive 100 ohm or greater headphones. Lower impedance is safe too but the volume level can be reduced. You can also use a stereo Y adapter and connect two headphones at the same time if they are 100 ohms or greater. You can use headphones and an audio system at the same time; plugging in the phones does not affect the line outputs at all.
Getting Started Connecting MIDI Connecting More Sound Modules With MIDI, youÕre not limited to just one add-on sound module; you could connect 2, 3, or even more using the basic method illustrated below.
Getting Started Connecting MIDI Connecting to a Computer Sequencer If you have a computer with a MIDI interface and MIDI sequencing software, your Stage Piano can become an integral part of a home MIDI recording studio. The basic connection pattern is shown below.
Getting Started Connecting MIDI NOTE: Different sequencer applications use different terms for what weÕre calling Through mode. For example, the sequencer may have a Patch Thru or Soft Thru parameter, which you should set to On in this case.
Getting Started Connecting MIDI Full System Even more complex setups are possible. Below is just one possibility using a Kurzweil ExpressionMate MIDI processor and K2600R to provide unprecedented expressive control over a vast palette of sounds.
Getting Started The Front Panel The Front Panel The Stage PianoÕs front panel is illustrated in detail below.
Getting Started The Front Panel Each character in the display also has a small dot at the bottom right. If these dots are on, it means that the current setup has been edited but the change has not yet been made permanent by storing it into memory. Mode LEDs The two fundamental modes of the Stage Piano are Internal Voices mode and MIDI Setups mode. The mode LEDs above and below the display indicate which mode is current. One of them will always be on.
Getting Started The Front Panel Button Combinations How many ways can you press a button? Actually the Stage Piano recognizes 3 special cases beyond just Òpressing a button.Ó Direct Select In Play mode, if you want the red sound or odd-numbered setup next, itÕs simpleÑ just press the corresponding sound/setup select button. Two presses, however, are required to get a green sound or setup. There may be cases where youÕd prefer to skip the Þrst (red or odd) selection and go directly to the second.
Getting Started What Mode Am I In? What Mode Am I In? WeÕve used the word ÒmodeÓ quite a bit in this chapter. Here is a reference list of all of the possible modes and how to recognize them. The signiÞcance of the modes will become clear as you read on through Chapters 3 and 4.
Chapter 3 Internal Voices Mode This chapter describes Internal Voices mode in detail. This is the simpler of the two modes and is automatically selected when power is turned on. Internal Voices mode is indicated by the LED immediately over the display being on. When in Internal Voices mode, the entire keyboard plays the selected sound. MIDI signals can also be sent so that an external sound module can Òplay along,Ó or a computer sequencer can record your performance.
Internal Voices Mode Selecting Internal Voices Mode Modifying Effects To change the effect type or intensity of the currently selected sound, you will need to make a brief excursion into Edit mode. Do the following to temporarily change the effect setting of a sound: 1. Press the Play/Edit button once if in Play mode. This enters Edit mode. 2. Select the left column of parameters by pressing the Col Select button until the left-column LED lights. At most 2 presses will be required. 3.
Internal Voices Mode Saving a Sound’s Effects Settings Saving a Sound’s Effects Settings 1. Go to Edit mode and select one of the 3 effects parametersÑEffect (left column, 4th row), Reverb Wet/Dry (right column, 1st row upper), or Chorus Wet/Dry (right column, 1st row lower). If youÕre not sure how to select parameters, see Modifying Effects on page 3-2 for an example.
Internal Voices Mode Sending a MIDI Program Change Sending a MIDI Program Change You can change the program (sound) in an external device from the front panel of your Stage Piano quickly and easily without leaving Play mode: 1. While in Play mode, press the MIDI Prog Chg (MIDI Program Change) buttonÑitÕs the lower-left editing button. The display will change to the last sent program number (or Ñ if none). 2.
Internal Voices Mode Modifying Other Internal Voice Parameters MIDI Channel 1-16 and Off SpeciÞes which MIDI channel to send on. No MIDI signals are sent if the value is Off. Destination Int, Mid, Bot This speciÞes where your performance data should be sent. Int means the internal sound module, Mid means MIDI, and Bot means both. Internal Effect 0-9, Noc This is the effect number for the currently-selected sound.
Internal Voices Mode Editing Basics Hold or Zero Hld, Zro SpeciÞes whether the B ribbon signal remains at its last value or returns to zero when your Þnger is lifted. Default is Hold. Control Slider, Control Pedal 0-129 and Off SpeciÞes where signals from the front panel Volume/Controller slider and control pedal are sent. Defaults are Volume and Foot Controller. The internal sound module does not respond to Foot Controller signals.
Internal Voices Mode Editing Basics Edit vs. Play Mode In Play mode you select different sounds (or MIDI Setups if in MIDI Setups mode) by pressing the Sound/Setup Select buttons to the right of the display. In Edit mode, the sound (or setup) is frozen and the Sound/Setup Select buttons perform a variety of editing functions as marked on the buttons themselves. That is really the main differenceÑyou can play the keyboard and controls equally well in either mode.
Internal Voices Mode Editing Basics Direct Numerical Editing Most parameters have numerical values which can also be entered directly using the Sound/Setup Select buttons marked with digits. You can enter a 1, 2, or 3-digit value, then press Enter to accept it. There are a couple of rules though: ¥ You cannot enter a value greater than 255. If you try, the current entry value will revert to just the last digit entered.
Internal Voices Mode Editing Basics You may have noticed that on return to Play mode after editing a non-effects parameter, all of the dots in the display are lit. This is a signal that the Internal Voices Setup has been edited but not yet saved. Executing the above save procedure will turn them off. If you attempt to change modes and the dots are on, youÕll see one of the query sequences shown in Step 2 above, and you can do one of the following: 1. Press Up arrow or Store to save before the mode change.
Chapter 4 MIDI Setups Mode Up to now youÕve been operating your Stage Piano exclusively in Internal Voices mode (unless of course youÕre like most readers and have tried MIDI Setups mode anyway). YouÕve learned that you can set the physical controllers, like ribbons and pedals, to transmit to desired MIDI destination numbers; transpose the keyboard; send a MIDI Program Change; specify the MIDI channel; and set the effects for each of the 32 interval voices.
MIDI Setups Mode Zones Zones The biggest difference between the Internal Voices Setup and a MIDI Setup is that the latter has 2 zones whereas the former has only 1. This name comes about from its usual association with a split keyboard. In the Stage Piano, however, the zones can overlap partially or even completely thus making the term layer more accurate. Nevertheless, weÕll use Òzone.Ó Figure 4-1 should help you better understand the concept of zones.
MIDI Setups Mode Editing MIDI Setups Editing MIDI Setups Editing MIDI Setups is much like editing the Internal Voices Setup. The main difference is that you have the two zones to deal with now. The Play/Edit button now functions as a zone selector button as well. Starting from Play mode, the Þrst press of Play/Edit will take you to Edit mode, Zone L. This is indicated by the Left Zone LED above the button being lit. The value shown for the current parameter is its value in Zone L.
MIDI Setups Mode Sending a MIDI Program Change Sending a MIDI Program Change You can send a MIDI Program Change from Play mode using the same procedure that was described for Internal Voices mode on page 3-4. In MIDI Setups mode however you will need to specify which zone the program change is for. When the MIDI Prog Chg button is Þrst pressed, Zone L is selected initially and its LED will be blinking. You can press the Play/Edit button to swap to Zone R at any time during number entry.
MIDI Setups Mode Parameter Summary Destination Int, Mid, Bot This speciÞes where your performance data for this zone should be sent. Int means the internal sound module, Mid means MIDI, and Bot means both. Internal Effect 0-9, Noc This is the effect number for the sounds for this setup and is the same for both zones. A value of 0 means no effect and Noc means no effects change when changing to this setup.
MIDI Setups Mode Parameter Summary Velocity Curve 1-8 Allows you to alter the relationship between keyboard playing effort (keystroke velocity) and the resulting sound volume in this zone. Below are sketches of these curves. Volume Max 0 Key 127 Velocity 0 1 Linear 5 Reverse Figure 4-2 2 Expand 6 Reverse Expand 3 Compress 7 Reverse Compress 4 Bump 8 Dip Velocity Curves You can use Velocity Curves is several ways.
MIDI Setups Mode MIDI Controller Destinations B Ribbon Up, B Ribbon Down 0-129 and Off SpeciÞes where signals from the two halves of the right ribbon are sent for this zone. Defaults are Modulation Wheel (1) and Pan (10) respectively. See MIDI Controller Destinations for a description of MIDI destination numbers. Some internal sounds will respond to Modulation but none will respond to Pan.
MIDI Setups Mode Continuous Controller Destinations Continuous Controller Destinations These communicate ÒcontinuousÓ (meaning smoothly varying) values of 0Ð127 to an external sound module or effects device. If you assign one of these to a switch pedal, 127 (maximum effect) will be sent when the pedal is down and 0 (minimum effect) when it is up. Destinations listed as UndeÞned can be used by some receivers for purposes that donÕt Þt the deÞned functions.
MIDI Setups Mode Switch Controller Destinations MIDI # 33–63 Table 4-1 Controller Name Description LSB for 1-31 Originally defined for vernier (fine) control of destination numbers 32 less than these. The Stage Piano will send to these like any other destination and so they should be considered Undefined.
MIDI Setups Mode Switch Controller Destinations MIDI # Controller Name Description 84 84 Portamento Control When Portamento Switch (65) is turned on and Portamento Time (5) is not zero, the value of this Controller is the MIDI note number from which the pitch glide will start. 85–90 Undefined 91 Reverb Depth Controls the mix ratio of reverberated sound to unprocessed sound (0 = all unprocessed, 127=all reverberation). The Stage Piano’s internal sound module responds to this control.
MIDI Setups Mode More on Keyboard Splits More on Keyboard Splits The example given earlier described the simplest possible keyboard split where one section of the keyboard controls one sound and an adjacent section controls a different sound but there are other possibilities too. Split-with-transpose is one of these possibilities. The Piano/Bass split discussed earlier might be modiÞed to make the split between E 2 and F 2 thus giving the piano an octave more downward range.
MIDI Setups Mode Changing Setups: Special Considerations setup are sent at setup change time. When the effect type (number) changes, the Stage Piano will brießy mute the effects processor to avoid any audible pops and clicks. Although much less objectionable than a click, this momentary muting will be audible if notes are sounding or still decaying during the changeover. However, if the effect number is the same in the old and new setup or the new setup speciÞes Noc (no change), then no muting occurs.
Chapter 5 Global Parameters Global parameters do just what their name implies: affect the operation of instrument-wide behavior (like the tuning of all the notes you play). There is one set of seven global parameters; they affect both Internal Voices mode and MIDI Setups mode. Access to the Global Parameters View or edit the global parameters in Edit mode (either Internal Voices or MIDI Setups) by pressing the Col Select button until both of the Parameters column LEDs are off.
Global Parameters Access to the Global Parameters Touch 1–5 This parameter affects the response of the keyboard to your playing effort as follows: 1 Easier. Little effort is required to play notes loudly. Also, softly-played notes are louder than the other settings. Best for ensemble playing. 2 Easy. Less effort is required to play notes loudly than with the Normal setting. Softly played notes remain soft. 3 Normal.
Global Parameters Access to the Global Parameters Effect Snd, Set, Off This parameter speciÞes how the effects processor in the internal sound module responds to MIDI Setup changes. The possibilities are: Snd Sound. The effect associated with the internal sound as deÞned for Internal Voices mode is selected regardless of the Effect speciÞed by a setup. This is the default setting. Set Setup. The effect speciÞed by a setup is what is used for the internal sound. Off Off.
Global Parameters Access to the Global Parameters Saving Global Parameters If you change a global parameterÕs value, the new value remains in effect until you turn the power off. To make your global edits permanent so theyÕll be effective next time your Stage Piano is turned on, you need to save them in the EEPROM memory. The following procedure will save all 7 global parameters as a group: 5-4 1.
Chapter 6 Advanced Applications You will Þnd that your SP76 or SP88 is superb for straight-ahead solo or ensemble playing on stage and at home. With the addition of external equipment though it can do much more and can form the core of your own personal MIDI studio. This chapter will present a few ideas to get you started but there are many, many more possibilities as well.
Advanced Applications Computer Sequencers Once youÕve mastered this simple setup, try the following for some variety in your setups: ¥ Transpose the two zones differently so that you play intervals. ¥ Try different Velocity Curve settings so you can emphasize one zone or the other according to your playing effort. ¥ Try setting the left or right zone to Both (Bot) so that it plays both modules. ¥ Set the Control Pedal destination in Zone L to 7 and R to Off. Then set the Control slider in Zone L to Off.
Advanced Applications Computer Sequencers MIDI Hookup The Þrst step in using your Stage Piano with a sequencer is getting the MIDI connections happening. Few sound cards have MIDI ports built-in (the connectors are too big) so youÕll probably have to use an adapter cable that plugs into the cardÕs ÒgameÓ or ÒjoystickÓ port. Check the sound cardÕs manual for information on making MIDI connections.
Advanced Applications Computer Sequencers When using a sequencer keep in mind that although the Stage Piano can be set to send on any MIDI channel, its internal sound module will receive only on Channel 1. This means the sequencer must be instructed to play material intended for the internal sound module on Channel 1. The remaining 15 channels then are available for sound card and external sound modules to play additional instrument parts.
Advanced Applications External MIDI Processors Reloading Setup Memory ItÕs even easier to reload saved data by following these steps: CAUTION: The entire EEPROM content will be reloaded, erasing all of your edits since the last time you reloaded. 1. Make sure a MIDI cable is connected from the computer or sequencerÕs MIDI Out port to the Stage PianoÕs MIDI In port. 2. Go to Edit mode (either Internal Voices or MIDI Setups is OK). 3. Press the Ld/Dmp button. The display will show ld/. 4.
Advanced Applications External MIDI Processors Zone multiplication, for example, means that a full range of notes can be received on one MIDI channel then the device divides them into zones and retransmits them on a different MIDI channel for each zone. Typically a set of programmable parametersÑ like low/high key, transposition, and velocity curveÑis available for each of the new zones. Arpeggiation creates a series of musically related notes in response to or inßuenced by each note it receives.
Chapter 7 Troubleshooting Maintenance Aside from normal care in handling and use, your Stage Piano requires no regular maintenance. Clean with a soft cloth dampened with water. Never use abrasives or solvents as they may damage the unitÕs paint, markings, info strip and display lens. There are no batteries inside to replaceÑever. Instead of volatile SRAM used in most other instruments, your Stage Piano uses nonvolatile EEPROM for storage, which retains information as captured electrons, without power.
Troubleshooting Common Problems Audio Problems NOTE: When diagnosing audio problems, set the Stage Piano to play its demo sequence. If there is no sound from your Stage Piano, check the following: ¥ Stage Piano Volume/Controller slider turned down. Move the slider to the right. ¥ Volume control on audio system or mixer turned down. ¥ Signal source selection on audio system or mixer is incorrect. ¥ Audio cables not securely plugged in at both ends. ¥ Incorrect type of audio cable.
Troubleshooting Common Problems MIDI Problems If you are experiencing problems sending MIDI to an external module, check these: ¥ MIDI cable not securely plugged in at both ends. ¥ Wrong MIDI connections. To send MIDI, plug into the Stage PianoÕs MIDI Out connector and the moduleÕs MIDI In connector. DonÕt assume; read the jack labels. ¥ Defective MIDI cable (refer to page 7-8 for how you can check MIDI cables with the Stage PianoÕs diagnostic software).
Troubleshooting Common Problems A dual switch pedal must be wired as shown below. Any other wiring pattern will not work correctly. In in doubt, check the Switch Pedal diagnostic described on page 7-7.
Troubleshooting Service Centers Use the Right Impedance, Taper, and Range For best results, use a Kurzweil CC-1 control pedal, available from your dealer. The CC-1 meets all of the requirements described below at an economical price. A control pedal should have an impedance between 5,000 and 100,000 ohms. Less than 5,000 may overload the reference voltage source in the Stage Piano and interfere with operation of other controls like the Volume/Controller slider.
Troubleshooting Restoring Factory Defaults Restoring Factory Defaults 1. Turn power off. Then hold down the two buttons labeled Panic and turn power on. Continue holding until the LEDs have ßashed the second time. 2. Wait for the display to show PLC then press the Row Select button once. The display should show cpu. 3. Press Col Select once. The display will ßicker then show rom. 4. Press Row Select 5 times until the display shows ini; then press Col Select once. 5. The display will then show ok/.
Troubleshooting Diagnostics Player Control Diagnostic The Player Control diagnostic is most likely to be of interest to the user. It displays the response of every user control to being played, moved, pressed, whateverÑexactly as the internal computer sees it. If a control does not respond correctly for the diagnostic, then it will not respond appropriately during normal playing. Since the diagnostic displays the raw data in real time, itÕs easier to Þgure out what might be going wrong.
Troubleshooting Diagnostics Testing the Buttons and LEDs When pressed, any button should show a unique number on the display. The number should appear immediately when the button clicks down and should disappear immediately when released. Flickering while down may indicate a problem with the switch while a sluggish release is likely to be an alignment problem between the button and the front panel hole. The Sound/Setup Select buttons will also turn on their LEDs when pressed.
Troubleshooting Diagnostics Burnin Test (bur) This runs the above diagnostics in a continuous loop for reliability veriÞcation. A cable between MIDI Out and MIDI In must be installed before running it. After each run of the diagnostics, the pass count will be displayed brießy. If more than 255 times, the count will remain at 255. Initialize EEPROM (ini) This ÒtestÓ erases the EEPROM and then rewrites all of the factory default setups.
Troubleshooting Diagnostics Delay RAM Test (drm) This tests the memory used for the effects. Sine Wave Test (sin) This test produces a 1KHz sine wave until either select button is pressed. The Volume/ Controller slider will very the volume from full scale (3.15Vrms) down to -127dB below that (1.4uV) in steps of 1dB. Viewed on an oscilloscope, there should be no clipping of the full scale signal.
Chapter 8 Reference Display Characters The 3-character display is often used to communicate nonnumeric information. As it has only 7 display segments, letters are not always well formed. Below is a list of all possible characters the display may be called upon to show.
Reference Factory Default Internal Voices Setup Factory Default Internal Voices Setup The Internal Voices Setup deÞnes the MIDI characteristics of Internal Voices mode. You also set the effects parameters for each of the 32 sounds while editing the Internal Voices Setup. Internal Voices Parameters Below is a list of the parameters and default values for the Internal Voices setup. The shaded parameters are not available in Internal Voices mode.
Reference Factory Default Internal Voices Setup The Internal Voices Below is a list of the 32 sounds (voices) available from the internal sound module. The list includes the factory default effects setting for each sound. # Sound Name # Sound Name 1 Grand Piano 1 (Solo, beat tuned) 17 Tremolo Digital E. Piano 2 Grand Piano 2 (Ensemble tuned) 18 Stereo Hard E. Piano 3 Stage Piano 1 (Solo, beat tuned) 19 Digital Electric Piano 4 Stage Piano 2 (Ensemble tuned) 20 Digital E.
Reference Factory Default MIDI Setups Factory Default MIDI Setups The 32 factory-default MIDI Setups are all the same except for the Internal Sound parameter which is set to be the same as the setup number. MIDI parameter settings are also similar to the Internal Voices Setup. In particular, only the Left Zone is enabled. In fact, until you edit the MIDI setups to meet your particular needs, there will be little difference between Internal Voices mode and MIDI Setups mode.
