We recommend setting the [EQ] sliders to their central posi-
tions and adjusting the overall tone using the keyboard ampli-
fier. This approach provides the maximum adjustable range
should you need to change the tone during your performance.
We recommend that you turn the Sound Boost function on.
This function boosts the presence of your instrument so that
the entire audience can clearly hear not only notes played very
loud, but also those played soft.
Yo u can choose from three dif-
ferent types of sound boost. (See page 18.)
Check your settings.
Once turned on, ensure that your digital piano is set up
as follows.
•Auto Power-Off function disabled (page 10)
Foot switch operating correctly as a sustain pedal (page 11)
•Built-in speakers turned off if you do not need to hear them
(page 44)
Lock the control panel to prevent mistakes.
Your digital piano’s Panel Lock function allows you to
temporarily disable control-panel buttons to prevent
them being operated unintentionally while perform-
ing. To activate this function, press the [EFFECT] and
[SOUND BOOST] buttons together. Note that the fol-
lowing will continue to operate normally when the
control panel is locked.
•Standby/On switch

Performing
When playing live, relax and try to listen to the overall
sound of your performance so that you can make
small adjustments if necessary. For example, you
could use the [MASTER VOLUME] slider to keep the
vocal and digital-piano volumes well balanced.
This completes the setup process. You should
now be ready to play live.

Other Convenient Functions
Thanks to its digital design, the P-255 offers a range of
highly useful functions as described below. When put to
effective use, they can help make your performances
much more enjoyable.
Dual mode: Two layered Voices
Using Dual mode, each key can simultaneously produce
the sound of two different Voices. (See page 14.)
Split mode: One Voice for the left, another for the right
Yo ur digital piano’s Split mode lets you divide the key-
board at a freely selectable point and assign different
Voices to the left and right sides. (See page 14.)
Transpose
Using the Transpose function, you can shift the pitch of
keyboard notes up or down in semitone units. This allows
you to change key without having to change what you
actually play on the keyboard. (See page 16.)
Touch sensitivity
Yo ur digital piano’s touch sensitivity function allows you to
adjust the degree to which changes in the strength of
your playing are reflected in the sound produced. (See
page 45.)
Rhythm tracks
Playing along with one of the many rhythm tracks pro-
vided is almost like having your own private band. (See
page 20.)
Reverb
Adding reverb to your sound is a great way to create a
rich sense of depth and space. (See page 15.)
Effects
The digital piano’s Effect function can enhance your
sound in various different ways for more expressive per-
formances. (See page 16.)
Playing along with a recording
If you have created a song by recording yourself playing,
you can then play along with that song as an accompani-
ment. (See page 21.)
Music input from an audio player
With an audio player connected to your digital piano, you
can play along with your favorite tunes or add backing
tracks or effect sounds to your live performances. (See
page 34.)
Extensive MIDI and computer support
Yo ur digital piano can be easily integrated with other MIDI
instruments or a computer. In this way, you can output
MIDI performance data as you play, perform with voices
only found on other devices, and enhance your keyboard-
playing experience in many other ways. (See page 35.)
Support for smart-device apps
Using the specially developed app P-255 Controller, you
can set your instrument in a simpler, more intuitive man-
ner. (See page 35.)
Here at Yamaha, we are continually releasing exciting
new apps for smart devices. For details, visit the following
