5 Reverb The GranTouch features sophisticated reverberation effects, which enhance the digital piano by adding natural ambience to the sound. Setting the Amount of Reverb The amount of reverb applied to the piano sound is determined by the REVERB control on the Control Box. Turn the control clockwise to increase the reverb, counterclockwise to decrease it. Reverb is off when the REVERB control is turned fully counterclockwise.
6 Pitch Pitch Initially the GranTouch is tuned to the standard Concert Pitch (A=440 hertz). You can, however, adjust the pitch to suit your particular application. Different pitches are sometimes used in vocal music and orchestral performances. The pitch can be adjusted in one hertz steps from 438 to 445 hertz (one hertz is about four cents). Adjusting the Pitch You’ll need a small, flat-blade screwdriver to adjust the PITCH switch, which is located on the right side of the Control Box, as shown below.
7 Tuning Down To finely tune down the GranTouch, hold down the A and A keys at the far left of the keyboard and press any one of the keys from middle C to B. It doesn’t matter which key you press, just so long as it’s in the middle C to B range, which is shown highlighted in the illustration below. The pitch is lowered 1.2 cents for each key press.
8 Creative Options Creative Options The GranTouch’s AUX and MIDI connectors expand your creative options. They are located underneath the GranTouch. See the illustrations on pages 1 and 2. Recording (AUX OUT) The AUX OUT connectors allow you to record your playing to a tape recorder. They can also be used to record your playing through an audio mixer in a recording studio, or to connect powered speakers. The following illustration shows how to make the connections.
9 Playing Other MIDI Instruments (MIDI OUT) MIDI is an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. It allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with each other. MIDI cables do not carry sound, they carry digital instructions. These instructions tell instruments which notes to play, when to play them, and at what volume. If you want to know more, check out the MIDI books at your local music dealers or bookstore.
