Before Using the P-65 Before Using the P-65 Turning the Power On 1. Connect the PA-5D power adaptor’s DC cable to the [DC IN 12V] jack. WARNING Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5D AC Power Adaptor (or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to power your instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the P-65. (The shape of plug differs depending on locale.) ENGLISH 2. Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
Before Using the P-65 Using the Pedal ENGLISH FC5 [PEDAL] jack (Sustain Pedal) This jack is for connecting the included pedal (FC5). The pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. Connect the included pedal (FC5) to this jack and press the pedal to sustain the sound. An optional FC4 foot switch can also be connected to this jack. NOTE Make sure that power is OFF when connecting or disconnecting the pedal.
Reference Listening to the Demo Songs Listening to the Demo Songs Demo songs are provided that effectively demonstrate each of the P-65’s voices. 1. Press the [STANDBY/ON] switch to turn the power on. NOTE Refer to the voice list on page 14 for more information on the characteristics of each preset voice. When the power is turned ON, the power indicator located to the left of the [STANDBY/ON] switch lights up. NOTE The demo songs will not be transmitted via MIDI. ENGLISH 2. Adjust the volume.
Selecting & Playing Voices Selecting & Playing Voices Selecting Voices 1. While holding down the [GRAND PIANO/VOICE] button, press one of the C1–G1 keys to select a voice. ENGLISH Pressing the [SELECT] button switches among the following eight voices. C0 Key Voice Name C1 G1 Description C1 Grand Piano 1 Recorded samples from a full concert grand piano. Perfect for classical compositions as well as any other style that requires acoustic piano. C#1 Grand Piano 2 Clear piano with bright reverb.
Selecting & Playing Voices Combining Voices (Dual) You can play voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. In this way, you can combine similar voices to create a thicker sound. 1. While holding down the [GRAND PIANO/VOICE] button, press two keys in the range of C1 through G1 simultaneously (or press one key while holding another) to engage Dual. ENGLISH Refer to “Selecting Voices” on page 14 for more information on the voices that are assigned to the keys.
Selecting & Playing Voices Adding Variations to the Sound – Reverb This control enables you to select four different types of reverb effect that add extra depth and expression to the sound to create a realistic acoustic ambience. ENGLISH Key Reverb Type Description C2 Room This setting adds a continuous reverb effect to the sound, similar to the acoustic reverberation you would hear in a room. C#2 Hall1 For a “bigger” reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting.
Selecting & Playing Voices Transposition The P-65’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures, and to let you easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the transposition amount to “+5,” playing key C produces pitch F.
