Preparing to Play

Adjusting the volume

Turn the VOLUME knob on the front panel to adjust the

sound to the optimum level.

The VOLUME knob sets the volume of sound coming from

the built-in speakers, the headphones jack and the OUTPUT

jacks.

Using the sheet music stand

Insert the sheet music stand into the two holes for the same on

the front panel.

Using headphones

Connect the stereo mini‐plug of a pair of commercially

available headphones to the headphones jack on the rear

panel.

Headphones

Note:

The built-in speakers will not make a sound if a pair of

headphones has been connected to the headphones jack (but

sound will still be outpued from the OUTPUT jacks).

Using headphones at high volume for an extended time

may cause hearing damage. Avoid excessively high volume

levels.

Using a pedal

You can plug an optional pedal (sold separately) into the FOOT

CONTROLLER jack on the rear panel to use as a damper pedal,

or to control the volume.

Use the SETTING function to make the pedal seings, according

to which kind of pedal you will connect (see page 21

“Changing the pedal polarity” and page 21 “Changing the

pedal function”).

Damper pedal, pedal switch, etc.

• When using a Korg DS-1H (damper pedal), PS-1 or PS-3

(pedal switch), this will function as a damper switch. As

with the damper pedal on a piano, you can use a pedal with

this instrument to sustain the notes you play, even after

taking your ngers o the keyboard. You can also make

seings for quarter tone playing.

Note:

Note that the damper eect does not work on the

lower part.

Note:

This instrument does not feature a half-damper

function.

• Connect a Korg EXP-2 foot controller to control the volume

of the keyboard part (see page 10 “Selecting the keyboard

set”).
