Using Other Functions
In addition to selecting a preset sound or demo song, the SP-170 enables you to use
various functions by pressing and holding down the A
#
7, B7, and C8 keys and pressing
a key to where the corresponding function has been assigned. Please refer to the “MIDI”
section on the next page for more information on MIDI channels and program change
messages.
While pressing and holding down the A
#
7, B7, and C8 keys, do not play the key-
board. Otherwise, you might get an unexpected result.
Effects (Reverb and Chorus)
You can use a reverb eect to add reverberation and depth to the sound, and a chorus
eect to add width and space.
• While simultaneously pressing and holding down the A
#
7, B7, and C8 keys, press
the A5 key to turn on the reverb eect. To turn o the reverb eect, repeat the pre-
vious procedure but press the C
#
5 key instead of A5.
• While simultaneously pressing and holding down the A
#
7, B7, and C8 keys, press
the B5 key to turn on the chorus eect. To turn o the chorus eect, repeat the
previous procedure but press the A
#
5 key instead of B5.
You can apply eects to each preset sound. When you turn on the power to the unit,
the eects will use the optimum seings for each preset sound.
Key Touch Control function
The Key Touch Control function enables you to change the way your playing strength
affects the sound output level. You can set this function using the white keys in a
range from D2 to F2. (See the gure on the le.)
• To play fortissimo with so strokes (Light touch), press and hold down the A
#
7, B7,
and C8 keys (at the right end of the keyboard), and press the D2 key.
• To play fortissimo with very strong strokes (Heavy touch), press and hold down
the A
#
7, B7, and C8 keys, and press the F2 key.
• To simulate a normal piano touch (Standard touch), press and hold down the A
#
7,
B7, and C8 keys, and press the E2 key.
The default seing (when you turn on the unit) is Standard touch.
Transpose function (Shifting the key)
In some cases, a song may be wrien in a dicult key (e.g., using many black keys), or
you may wish to shi the key to match another instrument or vocalist. In such cases,
you can transpose (shi the key) to use an easier ngering (without playing too many
black keys), or to use the same familiar ngering to play in a dierent key. This is
called the Transpose function. You can shi the key in a range of eleven semitones.
For example if you transpose upward by one semitone, playing the notes shown in the
upper score to the le will produce the pitches shown in the lower score.
•
To transpose the key, press and hold down the A
#
7, B7, and C8 keys, and press a key
from F
#
2 to B3 or from C
#
3 to F3. The name of the key that you pressed will become
the transposed key. For example, if you wish to use the C3 key to play note A2 (lower
by three semitones), press and hold down the A
#
7, B7, and C8 keys, and press the
A2 key. If you wish to use the C3 key to play note D
#
3 (higher by three semitones),
press and hold down the A
#
7, B7, and C8 keys, and press the D
#
3 key.
To reset the Transpose function to “No Transposition (+/-0),” press and hold down the
A
#
7, B7, and C8 keys, and press the C3 key.
The default seing (when you turn on the unit) is “No Transposition.”

the A
#
7, B7, and C8 keys simul-
taneously at the right end of the
