The sound distorts when playing at very
loud volume levels.

Check that the MASTER VOLUME slider is set to an appropriate level,

reducing the volume if excessive distortion is heard.

If connecting the instrument to an amplifier/mixer using the Line Out

jacks, reduce the value of the ‘Line Out Volume’ setting in the Basic

Settings menu

p. 14

Strange sounds or noises are heard when
playing with piano sounds.

The CN35 digital piano attempts to reproduce the rich variety of tones

created by an acoustic grand piano as accurately as possible. This

includes string and damper resonances, key-off noises, and other

subtle characteristics that contribute to the overall piano playing

experience.

While these additional tones are intended to enhance the realism of

the instrument, it is possible to reduce their prominence, or disable the

effects altogether using the settings in the Virtual Technician menu.

p. 89

The top 18 notes of the keyboard sustain
for longer than neighbouring notes, even
when the damper pedal is not pressed.

This is the correct behaviour, and intended to reproduce the undamped

notes (typically the top two octaves) of an acoustic grand piano.

„

Pedals

Issue

Possible Cause and Solution

Page no.

The pedals are unreliable or do not function
at all.

Check that the pedal cable is firmly connected to the instrument.

p. 118

When depressing a pedal, the pedal board
