2. Basic Operations
2.1 Getting Ready
Since the MP6 has no built-in speakers, you will need to connect a mixer,
keyboard amplifier or headphones in order to listen.
Turn the MP6 on, using the POWER SWITCH on the rear panel.
It is recommended to turn the MP6 on before turning on any amplifiers in order
to avoid switching noise.
What you need to know before starting:
Please read this part for a better understanding of the MP6 structure.
The MP6’s SOUND and SETUP modes are largely the same. The main difference
between the two is that SETUP is used to recall stored SETUPs. Edits and changes
can be made freely in either mode, using the 4 faders, 4 knobs and MENU
functions, however edits made in SOUND mode will be lost when the power is
turned OFF and must therefore be stored in SETUP mode.
In order to start from scratch, use the SOUND mode and press PIANO ONLY
first.
In order to modify a SETUP, select the desired SETUP, perform any edits, and
store the changes as a SETUP.
If selected sounds do not sound correct, it is possible that parameters (knobs
etc.) were edited. To restore sounds to their default setting, use the PIANO ONLY
function, then re-select the desired sound.
15
2.2 Selecting a Sound
The MP6 always starts up in SOUND mode when the power is turned ON. The
SOUND button will be lit to indicate SOUND mode is active.
Operation 1
Select the sound category by pressing a sound select button in the top row.
There are 3 rows of sound select buttons, the top row is for selecting a sound
category and the second and third rows are for selecting a variation.
For example, to select "60’s EP2", first press the E.PIANO in the top row and the
first sound in the E.PIANO category "Classic EP" is recalled. (If any other variation
was selected before, the last selected sound is recalled as long as the power is
on.)
Operation 2
Select the first variation by pressing a sound select button in the second row.
Press one of the 1-8 buttons in the second row. If you press 3, the variation 3
"60’s EP" is recalled. (If any other variation was selected before, the last selected
sound is recalled as long as the power is on.)
Operation 3
Select the second variation by pressing a sound select button in the third row.
Press one of the A-D buttons in the third row. If you press B, a variation sound
"60’s EP2" is recalled.
Select the variations with the sound select buttons in the second and third
rows.
The display shows the currently selected sound name.
1 Concert Grand
Note:
Internal sounds or Setups can be also selected using the VALUE buttons.
You should also listen to the preprogrammed Setups.
Setups are organized in 8 Banks with 32 Numbers each (total 256 Setups).
Press the SETUP button to change to SETUP mode and select a Setup by pressing
one of the Bank buttons in the upper row followed by a Number button in the
second and third row.
The display shows the currently selected Setup name.
In Sound mode, the “1” in the display indicates that the zone 1 is currently
selected.

sections.
Press and hold the ZONE SELECT button for zone 1. The display shows the key
range for zone 1 as follows.

RangeEA-1 >C7
While still holding down the ZONE SELECT button for zone 1, press the lowest
note on the keyboard. The display changes as follows.

6. MENU Buttons
The MENU buttons allow access to the edit parameters in the MP6. This collection
of settings together with other editable parameters can be stored as a SETUP.
The MP6 provides 256 SETUPs, and all are user programmable.
A SETUP consists of four zones. Each zone can be set as Internal, External or Both
individually. Inside each of the four zones, a multitude of features and effects
can be programmed and combined together into one exciting SETUP.
A total of 256 SETUPs may be programmed in this way.
The menu consists of Internal parameters, External parameters and Common
parameters.
Common parameter affect all zones. If a zone is set as Both, both the Internal
parameters and External parameters are available for the zone.
Use the MENU buttons to scroll through all the different parameters.
In SOUND mode, both the Int Zone parameters and the Common parameters
without the inverse “S(Setup)” icon can be individually stored. (see page 55)
The Int Zone parameters can be stored as a SOUND of the MP6’s 256 SOUNDs.
The Common parameters can be stored as the initial settings in SOUND mode.

6.1 Editing Procedure and Parameters
First, press the ZONE SELECT button for the zone to be edited.
Next, press the MENU buttons until the parameter you want to edit appears in
the DISPLAY. When a zone is set as Both, pressing the ZONE SELECT button again
will switch the menu list from Internal to External or vice versa.
Set the value of the parameter using the VALUE buttons.
Since each parameter has a different value range, consult the following pages
for the details. Repeat this procedure for any other parameters in any of the
zones that need to be modified.
Save these settings using the STORE button.
(See page 53 for detail)
Note:
Once you enter the edit mode from SETUP mode by pressing the MENU button,
the mode automatically changes to SOUND mode and the SOUND SELECT buttons
are used to select sounds, not SETUPs.
You can exit the edit mode by pressing the EXIT(SW) button. Any edits you have
made so far will be retained to SOUND mode. If you exit the edit mode by pressing
SOUND or SETUP buttons, your changes will be lost and the previously saved
settings are recalled.
6.2 Edit Parameters
Zone No. Sound Name
Zone parameters can be edited individually for each zone. There are two
parameter groups, Internal parameter group and External parameter group. If
1 Classic EP
a zone is set to Int, only Internal parameters are available for editing. If a zone is
Vel Comp.
= 10
set to Ext, only External parameters are available for editing. If a zone is set to
Parameter
Value
Both, both Internal and External parameters are available for editing.
6.2.1 Zone Mode
This parameter sets the Zone mode. The example shows that the Zone 1 is set
1 Concert Grand
SZone Mode =Both
to Both mode.
6.2.2 Sound (Int only)
This parameter determines which internal sound is assigned for the selected
1Internal Sound
= Concert Grand
zone.
35
6.2.3 Damper Resonance (Int Piano only)
When the sustain pedal is depressed, the volume of the whole resonance can be
1 Concert Grand
Damper Reso.= 1
changed to the level you prefer. The value changes from 0 (off) to 10.
* The display shows this parameter only when Piano sound is selected.
6.2.4 String Resonance (Int Piano only)
The volume of string resonance can be changed to the level you prefer. The
1 Concert Grand
String Reso.= 1
value changes from 0 (off) to 10.
About String Resonance
In acoustic pianos, there are strings corresponding to each key. When a key is pressed,
strings of other keys in the related harmonic series to the note played resonate. This effect
is called "sound resonance", which makes the sound of an acoustic piano full and rich.
* The display shows this parameter only when Piano sound is selected.
6.2.5 Key-off Effect (Int Piano only)
Especially for low-pitched tones, when a key is played strongly and released
1 Concert Grand
quickly, there will be the sound of the damper touching the strings immediately
KeyoffEffect= 1
before the sound stops. The key-off effect simulates this phenomenon, and
allows you to adjust the key-off volume to your taste. The value changes from
0 (off) to 10.
* The display shows this parameter only when Piano sound is selected.
6.2.6 Voicing (Int Piano only)
This parameter re-creates electronically the voicing technique of adjusting the
1 Concert Grand
action, hammers and strings on an acoustic piano to change the tone character.
Voicing= Normal
This function is a very powerful way to enhance and customize the piano
response for each player and each sound.
The effect is only available for the internal piano sounds - other sounds cannot
use this parameter.
Normal
Produces the normal tone of an acoustic piano throughout the entire
dynamic range.
Mellow 1/2
Reproduces the effect of a softer hammer surface. It produces a mellower
tone throughout the entire dynamic range.
Dynamic
This setting is not possible with an acoustic piano. Softly played notes
will have the tone of a mellow voicing and notes played harder will have
the tone of a bright voicing. This setting produces a dramatic change
from mellow to bright throughout the entire dynamic range.
Bright 1/2
Produces a brighter tone throughout the entire dynamic range.
* The display shows this parameter only when Piano sound is selected.
36
6.2.7 KeyOff Noise (Int EP only)
Vintage electric pianos often produce a distinctive sound when the keys are
1 Classic EP
KeyOffNoise = 10
released. The MP6 simulates this characteristic, and the KeyOff Noise parameter

6.3 Common Parameters
The following common parameters affect all Zones.
6.3.1 Stretch Tuning
COMMON
The hearing ability of a human is uneven and is not accurate with high frequency
SStrtch= Piano_w and low frequency as it is with the middle range. The tuning of an acoustic piano
is stretched to compensate for this so the sound will be heard naturally to the
ears.
Off:
The tuning is flat without stretching.
On:
The tuning is always stretched.
Piano:
The tuning is stretched only when piano sounds are selected.
On W:
Same as “On” but the stretching is wider.
Piano W:
Same as “Piano” but the stretching is wider.
6.3.2 Temperament
COMMON
This parameter sets the temperament of the MP6.
STempr =Pure
Maj
Equal
This is the most popular tuning method that divides the scale into
twelve equal semitones. This produces the same chordal intervals
in all twelve keys, and has the advantage of limitless modulation of
the key. However the tonality of each key becomes less characteristic
and no chord is in pure consonance.
Pure Maj/Min
This temperament, which eliminates dissonances for thirds and
fifths is still popular for choral music because of its perfect harmony.
When playing in a major key select “Pure Maj” and when playing in
a minor key select “Pure Min”.
Pythagor
This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate
dissonance for fifths, is very limited for use with chords, but it
produces very characteristic melodic lines.
This temperament, which uses a mean between a major and minor
Meantone
whole tone to eliminate dissonance for thirds, was devised to
eliminate the lack of consonances experienced with certain fifths
for the Mersenne pure temperament. It produces chords that are
more beautiful than those with the equal temperament.
Werkmeis /
These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and
Kirnberg
Pythagorean. For music with few accidentals, this temperament
produces the beautiful chords of the mean tone, but as accidentals
increase, the temperament produces the characteristic melodies of
the Pythagorean temperament. It is used primarily for classical music
written in the Baroque era to revive the original characteristics.
User
You can make your own temperament by raising or lowering the
pitch for each half tone.
45
6.3.3 Key of Temperament
Limitless modulation of the key became available only after the invention of Equal
COMMON
TemprKey = C
temperament. When we use a temperament other than Equal temperament, we
must carefully choose the key signature to play in.
For example, if the song you are going to play is written in D major, choose “D”
as the temperament key.
* When Temperament is set to Equal or User, this page won’t be displayed.
6.3.4 User Tuning
When the temperament is set to “User”, adjust the pitch for each key and create
COMMON
C
=
0
your own temperament. The value changes from -50 to +50.
These pages will only be displayed when the user temperament is selected.
Note:
The value is shown in “cent”. Half tone equals to 100 cents.
6.3.5 Foot SW CC# (Control Change)
This parameter assigns a Control Change Number to the Footswitch connected
COMMON
to the FOOT SWITCH jack on the rear panel.
FootSW CC# = SST
See page 96 for the list of Control Change numbers.
If “SW” is selected, the footswitch is used to turn on/off the SW button.
If
“RTR” is selected, the footswitch is used to switch the speed of the rotary
speaker between slow and fast when the Rotary effect is in use.
If
“AMP” is selected, the footswitch is used to turn the AMP simulator on/off.
When the System parameter FootSW is “Setup+” this page won’t be displayed.
6.3.6 EXP CC# (Control Change)
This parameter assigns a Control Change Number to the Expression Pedal
COMMON
connected to the EXP jack on the rear panel.
ExpPdl CC# = EXP
See page 96 for the list of Control Change numbers.
If “AFT” is selected, the expression pedal is used to send After Touch information.
If “RTR” is selected, the expression pedal is used to switch the speed of the rotary
speaker between slow and fast when the Rotary effect is in use.
If “AMP” is selected, the expression pedal is used to turn the AMP simulator on/off.
If “Pedal Wah” is selected in EFX, the pedal works as a Wah Pedal regardless of
the setting in this parameter.
46
6.3.7 Modulation Wheel CC# (Control Change)
This parameter assigns a Control Change Number to the Modulation Wheel on
COMMON
M.WheelCC# = Mod
the right side of the front panel.
If “AFT” is selected, the modulation wheel is used to send After Touch information.
If “RTR” is selected, the modulation wheel is used to switch the speed of the
rotary speaker between slow and fast when the Rotary effect is in use.
If “AMP” is selected, the modulation wheel is used to turn the AMP simulator
on/off.

12. Reference Information
12.1 MIDI IN
When the MIDI Receive Mode SYSTEM parameter is set to ‘Panel’, the MP6
receives the MIDI information coming in the System Channel only. (see page 61)
For changing the internal sounds via MIDI, refer to the SOUND Program Number
List on the next page.
Note:
* If the MP6 receives the Program Number from 1 to 128 and Bank number LSB
from 2 to 3 in the System Channel (see page 58), the MP6 will switch to SETUP mode
and the corresponding SETUP is recalled. (see the SETUP Program Number Table
below.) The recalled SETUP can be played only from the keyboard of the MP6.
When the MIDI Receive Mode SYSTEM parameter is set to ‘Multi’, the MP6 can
be used as a multi-timbral sound module, playing up to 16 different sounds on
16 MIDI channels.
