OPERATIONS
The Overture III has an LCD that allows you to see the Voice name as well as its parameters. Most of the front panel buttons are very straight forward and easy to select for general functions. In cases where you want to edit settings in more depth you will need to use the front panel buttons as well as the Function button and Value knob to change parameters.

Powering On the Overture III Press the POWER button in the upper left corner of the front panel. This product has a power standby mode. If the piano turns off while you are not playing it, this is likely due to the Auto Power mode. To adjust the Auto Power Off timer or deactivate this feature, press the Function Button, then turn the Value Dial to “Auto Power” and choose your time settings, or scroll all the way to the left to set it to “Off.” Voices The Overture III piano has 171 built-in voices. All voices may be selected using the value knob, or the most commonly used voices may be selected

using the Voice Select and Variation buttons. Some can be layered to produce two voices at once, or assigned to the left or right hands in the split mode. When a Voice Select button is pressed, the button’s LED will indicate that it is active, and the voice name and number will be shown on the display. When the same Voice Select button is pressed again, or if the Variation button is pressed, the voice will skip to another commonly used sound from the same category. If the voice is a variation, the Variation button will light up white to indicate that the first variation is active, or blue to indicate that the second variation is active.

To disable Bluetooth, disconnect from the Overture III in your app or device’s Bluetooth settings. NOTE: Bluetooth Audio and MIDI can’t be used simultaneously due to the bandwidth of the Bluetooth signal. If you need both Audio and MIDI connection to a device, use the USB port on top of the piano.
USB SONG MODE
The Overture III can play standard MIDI files directly from a USB storage drive. USB Drive should use a Windows FAT 32 format to be read by the Overture III, and all songs should be on the main directory of the drive. Be sure not to put the MIDI files inside of folders otherwise the Overture III will not be able to view the files. To Play MIDI Files from the USB Drive: 1. Insert the drive into the HOST USB slot. The USB
Indicator at the top of the Display will light up to show that the device is connected. 2. Press the [SONG] and [TRACK] buttons simultaneously. The Display will read “USB SONG” followed by the name of the first song on the drive. 3. Select the song you want to play by turning the Value dial. 4. Press the [PLAY] button and the song will start. In some cases there will be a count-in on the song (depending on the MIDI file). 5. Press the Play button again to stop the song.

If you remove the drive, the USB Indicator at the top of the display will turn off to indicate that the drive has been removed.
MIDI
The Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) is an industry-standard protocol that enables electronic musical instruments such as keyboards, computers, drum machines, etc. to communicate, control, and synchronize with each other. MIDI transmissions consist of electronic codes that communicate notes to be played, the instrument, pitch or intensity with which notes are to be played, and controlling codes such as volume, vibrato, cues and clock signals. The Overture III has several functions that facilitate its use as a MIDI device or controller. MIDI Channels The Overture III has 16 channels numbered from 1-16. Each channel is responsible for a voice. When the instrument receives MIDI information from an external device, the active channel is determined by the control message. The Transmission Channels are Fixed as Follows: Channel 1 – Master voice (keyboard) Channel 2 – Split voice (keyboard) Channel 3 – Layer voice (keyboard) On/Off Local On/Off Setting Turning the Local On/Off function to “Off” will disconnect the keyboard from the internal sound engine of the piano. The Overture III may then be used as a MIDI controller to control other MIDI devices or virtual instrument software running on a computer, without playing the sounds on the piano. Additionally, it may be desirable to turn local playing off for other requirements such as when using MIDI sequencing software on your computer. 1. Press the [FUNCTION] button. 2. Turn the Value Dial to select the Local On/Off edit
menu. The display will show “Local”. 3. Press the Function button again to enter the

parameter edit menu. The FUNC Indicator will blink to indicate the value is editable. 4. Turn the Value Dial to select “ON” or “OFF”. Multitimbral Mode The Overture III is able to receive MIDI information on up to 16 channels simultaneously. If you plan to use your piano with a multitrack MIDI recording system, you can record up to 16 different parts using the Overture III voices, each played back individually on different MIDI channels. To ensure your recorded part is played back with the correct voice, make sure to press the voice button first and play your part second. NOTE: Because the Overture III is receiving playback information via MIDI, the currently selected voice on the piano may not correspond to the voice being played back.
Setting The MIDI Channel 1. Press the [FUNCTION] button. 2. Turn the Value Dial to select the MIDI Channel
edit menu. The display will show “MIDI Ch”. 3. Press the Function button again to enter the

WARRANTY
Williams provides the following limited warranty, to the original purchaser: this piano is warranted to be free from electronic and/or structural defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of original purchase. If this Williams piano is defective, at its option during the warranty period, subject to the terms of this limited warranty and upon proof of purchase, Williams will either repair or replace the listed piano with a same or similar model of equal age or newer. Any repairs or modifications must be completed by Williams and/or an authorized agent of Williams. The warranty obligations as set forth herein shall be performed free of charge with the exception of all delivery and shipping expenses. This limited warranty will not apply to this product in the case of misuse, abuse, neglect, alterations, normal wear and tear or other circumstances not directly attributed to electronic and/or structural defects in materials or workmanship. Without limiting the foregoing, this limited warranty will also be inapplicable to products that have not been maintained or replaced in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction, or to products from which the serial number has been removed or altered. If covered defects are found, contact your authorized Williams dealer with regard to the alleged defect within ten (10) days of discovery of the problem. The foregoing repair or replacement obligation for defective products shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of this limited warranty. All warranties including, but not limited to, the express warranty and the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose are limited to the one (1) year warranty period.
