About this Owner’s Manual

Before attempting to play this instrument, please read the Introduction chapter from page 10 of this owner’s manual. This

chapter provides a brief explanation of each section of the MP11SE’s control panel, an overview of its various jacks and connectors,

and details how the components of the instrument’s sound are structured.

The Main Operation chapter (page 20) provides an overview of the instrument’s most commonly used functions, beginning with

turning sections on and o, adjusting their volume, and selecting sounds. Later on, this chapter introduces basic sound adjustment

using the four control knobs, before examining how EFX, reverb, amp simulation, and EQ can all be applied to dramatically change

the character of the selected sound. The chapter closes with an explanation of the instrument’s MIDI OUT section.

The EDIT Menu chapter (page 38) lists all available PIANO, E.PIANO, SUB, and MIDI OUT section parameters by category for

convenient reference. The STORE Button & SETUP Menus chapter (page 60) outlines storing customised sounds, capturing the

entire panel conguration as a SETUP, then recalling dierent SETUPs from the MP11SE’s internal memory.

The Recorder chapter (page 64) provides instructions on how to record and play back pieces stored both in the instrument’s

internal memory, and also MP3/WAV audio les saved to USB memory devices. This chapter also explains the MP11SE’s metronome/

drum pattern functions. Additional USB functions are covered in greater detail in the USB Menu chapter (page 93), while the

SYSTEM Menu chapter (page 99) explains the MP11SE’s System Settings and various reset functions.

Finally, the Appendix section (page 113) includes USB-MIDI driver information, software update instructions and listings of the

instrument’s internal sounds and drum rhythms, eects, MIDI reference information, and full specication details.
