17 Before You Start Playing The RG-1 has two jacks for plugging in headphones.

When you play the keyboard, you will hear a sound in the selected tone group. Selecting Va[...]

22 Performance Some tones enable you to perform with two tones layered together.

24 Performance This adjusts how your playing strength will affect the timing at which the note sounds. This is called the “Hammer Response” function. On an acoustic piano, pressing a key moves a hammer, which strikes a string to produce sound.

26 Performance You can change the volume of the damper pedal resonance. On an acoustic piano, depressing the damper pedal makes the notes you play resonate with other strings, adding rich reverberations and fatness to the sound. The damper pedal on the RG-1 recreates this resonance (Damper Resonance) when depressed. 1 Press the [Function] (Exit) bu[...]

27 Performance You can adjust the damper noise of the acoustic piano sound (the sound of the damper releasing the strings when you press the damper pedal). 1 Press the [Function] (Exit) button, getting its indicator to light. 2 Press the [Song] (Select -) button or [ ] (Select +) button to select “Damper Noise” in the RESONANCE screen. fig.03-1[...]

28 Performance “Duplex Scale” refers to a system that causes sympathetic vibrations in the sections of the string toward the front and toward the back. It can produce sound that is richer and brighter by adding the string’s higher harmonics. Because no damper (sound-stopping mechanism) is applied to the front or back sections of the string, t[...]

29 Performance When you play the keys on an acoustic piano, the strings that are already playing resonate as well.

31 Performance Pianos are generally tuned so that the low range is flatter and the high range is sharper than equal tempered pitches. This method of tuning is unique to the piano, and is known as “stretched tuning.” A graph that shows the changes in pitch of actual tuning compared with the changes in equal temperament pitch is called a tuning c[...]

32 Performance You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic temperaments (tuning methods). Most modern songs are composed for and played in equal temperament, the most common tuning in use today. But at one time, there were a wide variety of other tuning systems in existence. By playing in the temperament that was in use when a comp[...]

33 Performance When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need to specify the tonic note for tuning the song to be performed (that is, the note that corresponds to C for a major key or to A for a minor key). 5 Press the [Function] (Exit) button so the indicator goes out.

37 Performance In situations such as when playing ensemble with other instruments, you can tune the RG-1’s standard pitch to the pitch of another instrument. The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note that’s played when you finger the middle A key. This tuning of all the instruments to a standard pitch is called “tuning.” [...]

38 Performance Dividing the keyboard into right-hand and left-hand areas, then playing different sounds in each is called “Split performance.” The boundary key is called the “split point.” The split point key is included in the left-hand keyboard area. fig.03-290 1 Select a tone (p. 21). 2 Press the [Function] (Exit) button, getting its ind[...]
