Before You Play
Installing the Music Stand
fig.00-01
1. Using the supplied screws, fasten the music stand
to the back of the KF-90 as illustrated.
Turn the screws clockwise to tighten them.
2. To remove the music stand, support it with one
hand while loosening the screws.
* Be sure to use the supplied screws for attaching the music
stand.
* When attaching the music stand, support it firmly with one
hand to make sure that you do not drop it.
Be careful, so you do not get your fingers pinched.
* Do not apply excessive force to the installed music stand.
Connecting the Power Cord
fig.00-02.j
* Be sure to use the supplied power cord.
1. Connect the supplied power cord to the AC inlet
on the back of the piano.
2. Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
Connecting Pedals
1. Connect the supplied pedals (DP-6) to one of the
pedal jacks.
fig.00-03.j
When connected to the Damper jack, the pedal can be
used as a damper pedal.
When connected to Sostenuto, the pedal can be used as a
sostenuto pedal.
When connected to Soft, the pedal can be used as a soft
pedal.
* Unplugging a pedal cord from the unit while the power is on
may cause the pedal’s effect to be applied without stopping. Be
sure to switch off the power to the unit before attempting to
disconnect or connect a pedal cord.
Damper Pedal
Use this pedal to sustain the sound.
While the pedal is depressed, long lingering reverberations
continue to be added to the sound after you release from the
keys. When you depress the damper pedal on an acoustic
piano, the sound from the strings that were struck resonates
with other strings, adding rich reverberations and broadness
to the sound. You can adjust this resonance (Sympathetic
Resonance) when the damper pedal is depressed.
→ You can vary the amount of resonance applied when the
damper pedal is depressed. Refer to “Adjusting Resonance” (p.
144).
Sostenuto Pedal
When this pedal is depressed, reverberations are applied
only to the keys being played at that time.
Soft Pedal
This pedal is used to make the sound softer.
Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that
is not as strong as when otherwise played with the
equivalent strength. This is the same function as the left
pedal of an acoustic piano.
→ When connected to the Sostenuto jack or the Soft jack, you can
also assign other functions to the connected pedal. For more
information, see “Assigning Functions to Pedals” (p. 147).
→ By providing two more pedals, you can use three pedals at the
same time. If you wish to purchase the optional pedal (DP-2/
DP-6), please contact the dealer where you purchased the
keyboard.
→ You'll be able to change the pitch smoothly using the "Glide"
and "Bend Up/Down" functions (p. 147), after you connect an
EV-5 Expression Pedal (sold separately) to the Sostenuto or
Soft jack. An expression pedal can't be used to adjust the
volume, however.
