Chapter 5. Changing Various Settings

Setting the Tuning Curve
(Stretch Tuning)

A piano is generally tuned to a pitch with a lower bass range
and a higher treble range than equal temperament. This
special tuning method for pianos is called “Stretch Tuning.”

If you press

the [HARPSICHORD] button

in step 2 of

“Making Detailed Settings (Function)” (p. 26), a display like
the following will appear.

Values

OFF

This is the standard tuning curve. This is the right
choice when using Dual play (p. 12), or when
playing in ensemble with other instruments.

On

This tuning curve expands the bass and treble
ends somewhat. It is suitable for performances
such as piano solos. This setting is in effect when
you turn on the power.

Power-up default setting

On

This effect works only with the piano tones.

Applying the Damper Pedal to
the Left-hand Keyboard Area

When you are using Split play (p. 13), you can apply the
damper pedal effect to the sound played by the left-hand
keyboard range.

If you press

the [ORGAN] button

in step 2 of “Making

Detailed Settings (Function)” (p. 26), a display like the
following will appear.

Preventing the Settings from

Changing During Performance

Disabling Everything Except

Piano Play (Panel Lock)

The “Panel Lock” function locks the MP-60 in a state where
only piano performance can be used, and all buttons will be
disabled. That way, you won’t get switched to the wrong
settings if you inadvertently press a few buttons while you’re
playing.
In the Panel Lock state, only the grand piano sound can be
played.

1.

Turn the volume to the minimum, and press the

[Power] switch to turn off the power.

2.

Hold down the [PIANO] button and press the [Power]

switch to turn on the power.

Then, continue to hold down these two buttons for a few
seconds.
The following display will appear.

fig.disp—-

All buttons are disabled.
Adjust the volume.
When you play the keyboard, the grand piano sound
will be heard.
To defeat the Panel Lock function, turn the volume down
to the minimum, and turn on the power once again.

Disabling the Buttons When

Using a Tone Other Than Piano

(Tone Lock)

Even when using Tones other than the Piano, you can set the
instrument so all of its buttons are disabled (the settings in
effect at that time will be maintained).

1.

Hold down the [BRILLIANCE] button and press the

[KEY TOUCH] button.

The song or the metronome sound that is playing will stop.
The following will appear in the display:

fig.disp—-

All buttons are disabled while the instrument is set like this.
To cancel the Tone Lock function, once again hold down
the [BRILLIANCE] button while you press the [KEY
TOUCH] button. Alternatively, you can lower the
instrument’s volume all the way and switch its power
off. Then, turn it on again.
