Before Using the P-70 Before Using the P-70 Turning the Power On 1. Connect the PA-5D power adaptor’s DC cable to the [DC IN 12V] jack. WARNING Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5D AC Power Adaptor (or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to power your instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the P-70. (The shape of plug differs depending on locale.) ENGLISH 2. Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
Before Using the P-70 Using the Pedal ENGLISH FC5 [PEDAL] jack (Sustain Pedal) This jack is for connecting the included pedal (FC5). The pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. Connect the included pedal (FC5) to this jack and press the pedal to sustain the sound. An optional FC3 foot pedal or FC4 foot switch can also be connected to this jack. NOTE Make sure that power is OFF when connecting or disconnecting the pedal.
Reference Listening to the Demo Songs Listening to the Demo Songs Demo songs are provided that effectively demonstrate each of the P-70’s voices. 1. Press the [STANDBY/ON] switch to turn the power on. NOTE Refer to the voice list on page 15 for more information on the characteristics of each preset voice. When the power is turned ON, the power indicator located to the left of the [STANDBY/ON] switch lights up. NOTE The demo songs will not be transmitted via MIDI. ENGLISH 2. Adjust the volume.
Listening to the 50 Piano Preset Songs Listening to the 50 Piano Preset Songs The P-70 provides performance data for 50 piano songs as well as voice demo songs, for your listening pleasure. 1. While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] button, ENGLISH press one of the C2–C##6 keys to select a song to play back. The number of each piano preset song is assigned to the C2–C#6 keys. While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] button, press the D6 key to play all preset songs consecutively in sequence.
Selecting & Playing Voices Selecting & Playing Voices Selecting Voices 1. While holding down the [GRAND PIANO/VOICE] button, press one of the C1–A4 keys to select a voice. C0 Key Voice Name C1 A1 Description C1 Grand Piano 1 Recorded samples from a full concert grand piano. Perfect for classical compositions as well as any other style that requires acoustic piano. C#1 Grand Piano 2 Clear piano with bright reverb. Good for popular music. D1 E.
Selecting & Playing Voices Combining Voices (Dual) You can play voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. In this way, you can combine similar voices to create a thicker sound. 1. While holding down the [GRAND PIANO/VOICE] button, press two keys in the range of C1 through A1 simultaneously (or press one key while holding another) to engage Dual. ENGLISH Refer to “Selecting Voices” on page 15 for more information on the voices that are assigned to the keys.
Selecting & Playing Voices Adding Variations to the Sound – Reverb This control enables you to select four different types of reverb effect that add extra depth and expression to the sound to create a realistic acoustic ambience. Key Reverb Type Description Room This setting adds a continuous reverb effect to the sound, similar to the acoustic reverberation you would hear in a room. C#2 Hall1 For a “bigger” reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting.
Selecting & Playing Voices Transposition The P-70’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures, and to let you easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the transposition amount to “+5,” playing key C produces pitch F.
Selecting & Playing Voices Touch Sensitivity You can adjust the volume level that changes depending on how fast or strong you hit the keys. The following four settings are available. Touch Sensitivity Description A6 FIXED The volume level does not change at all regardless of whether you play the keyboard soft or hard. A#6 SOFT The volume level does not change much when you play the keyboard soft or hard. B6 MEDIUM This is the standard piano touch response (default setting).
Connecting MIDI Instruments Connecting MIDI Instruments The P-70 features MIDI IN/OUT terminals, allowing you to connect the P-70 to other instruments and devices—including computers—and take advantage of the various performance and recording capabilities in MIDI applications.
Connecting MIDI Instruments Connecting a Personal Computer By connecting a computer to the MIDI terminals, you can transfer data between the P-70 and the computer via MIDI. CAUTION NOTE When connecting the P-70 to a computer, first turn off the power to both the P-70 and the computer before connecting any cables. After making connections, turn on the power to the computer first, then to the P-70.
MIDI Functions MIDI Functions You can make detailed adjustments to MIDI settings. ENGLISH MIDI Transmit/Receive Channel Selection In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving devices must be matched for proper data transfer. This parameter enables you to specify the channel on which the P-70 transmits or receives MIDI data.
MIDI Functions Program Change ON/OFF While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [GRAND PIANO/VOICE] buttons, press the C#6 key. Pressing the C#6 key repeatedly toggles between Program Change On and Off. C#6 C7 NOTE For information on program change numbers for each of the P-70’s voices, refer to MIDI Data Format on page 27.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting ENGLISH Problem Possible Cause and Solution The P-70 does not turn on. The P-70 has not been plugged in properly. Securely insert the female plug into the socket on the P-70, and the male plug into a proper AC outlet (page 11). Noise is heard from the speakers or headphones. The noise may be due to interference caused by the use of a mobile phone in close proximity to the P-70. Turn off the mobile phone, or use it further away from the P-70.
