1. BRILLIANCE
Brilliance lets you adjust brightness of the preset sounds.
After selecting the “Brilliance” function by pressing the Piano
button, use the Value buttons to change the value to the desired
amount. The LED display shows the brilliance setting with a num-
ber. “0” indicates the standard setting. Brilliance can be set between
-10 to +10. Plus settings produce a brighter tone, minus settings
produce a mellower tone.
Brilliance settings are global for all the preset sounds. You can not have an individual setting for
each sound.
2. TUNING
Tuning allows you to adjust the piano’s pitch. You may need to adjust the tuning when you play
with other instruments.
After selecting the “Tuning” function by pressing the E.Piano button,
use the Value buttons to adjust the tuning. A tuning tone can be
heard. The LED display shows the pitch for “A” in Hz (Hertz). For
example, 40.0 stands for 440.0 Hz. The range of adjustment is from
427.0 to 453.0 Hz. The factory preset value is set to the modern
standard A = 440.0 Hz.
