Introduction

Main features

Thirty high-quality sounds
The D1 provides 30 built-in expressive high-quality sounds, including a stereo concert grand piano. You can use Layer mode to simultaneously play two sounds at once.

Effects
The D1 provides 3 built-in digital effects. These effects can adjust the brightness of the tone (Brilliance), simulate the natural ambiance of a concert hall (Reverb), and add richness to the sound (Chorus).

Metronome
The built-in metronome allows you to select the time signature, tempo, and volume, and you can even choose a bell sound as the accent.

Touch control
You can choose from five different settings to adjust how the sound will respond to your keyboard playing dynamics.

Temperaments
For the authentic performance of a wide range of music, the D1 allows you to select from nine temperaments, including the equal temperament, pure temperaments (major and minor), classical temperaments (Kirnberger and Werckmeister) as well as temperaments used with Middle Eastern and Indian folk music. When an acoustic piano sound is selected, the stretched tuning used on pianos is automatically selected.

Adjustable pitch
The Transpose function lets you change the pitch of the piano, and the Pitch Control function allows you to make finely tuned adjustments.

MIDI capabilities
The D1 supports the MIDI protocol, the standard that allows music data to be transferred between musical instruments and computers. MIDI allows two or more devices to control or be controlled by each other and also allows you to use the D1 as a 16-part multitimbral tone generator.

Preparation and demo performances

Before you begin playing

About the stand
This instrument does not include a stand. Refer to page 17 if you wish to use the ST-SV1 optional keyboard stand (sold separately) with the D1.

Connecting the included AC adapter
Insert the DC plug end of the AC adapter into the DC 9V jack on the rear panel, and connect the plug of the AC adapter to an AC outlet.

• Pass the AC adapter cord through the cord hook so that the plug won’t be removed from the jack accidentally (Fig. 1). When you unhook the cord, don’t pull on the cord with force.
• Be sure to use the AC adapter that came with your unit. Using other AC adapters may cause malfunctions or other unforeseen events.
• Be sure to plug the unit into an AC outlet of the appropriate voltage.

Connecting audio equipment and headphones
The D1 does not have built-in speakers. In order to hear the sound of your performance, you’ll need to connect the LINE OUT of the D1 to other audio equip-ment such as a monitor amplifier, a mixer, or a stereo set, or connect a pair of headphones to the headphones jack.

• You must only connect devices with the power turned off. The careless operation may damage the D1 or the device where it’s connected, or malfunctions may be caused.
• Connection cables are sold separately. You will need to obtain the appropriate commercially-available cables for your equipment.

Using a monitor amp or mixer
To use a monitor amp or mixer, use the LINE OUT jacks. Plug-in audio cables from the D1 to the input jack of a monitor amp or other audio equipment.

The D1’s audio output is designed to produce a signal level that is higher than ordinary consumer audio equipment such as CD players. For this reason, playing at an excessive volume may damage the connected speakers or audio equipment, so use caution with the volume level.

1. Minimize the volume of all connected equipment, and turn off the power.
2. Connect the D1’s LINE OUT jacks to the input jacks of your monitor amp or mixer.

If you’re playing back through your stereo audio system or an audio player that has external input jacks, connect the D1 to the jacks that are marked LINE IN, AUX IN, or external input. (You might need to obtain the appropriate adapter plug or conversion cable.)

Using the headphones

• Use the headphones jacks when connecting headphones.
• Use stereo headphones with a stereo 1/8” mini plug.

Playing the D1

Playing a single sound (Single mode)
You can select a sound from the thirty sounds supplied with the instrument (10 sounds x 3 banks).

These columns show the number of oscillators per voice that are used by each sound. (refer to “About maximum polyphony”.

1. Press the sound button for the sound that you want to play. The selected button will light up.

2. Press the BANK button to select one of the three sounds.
   Each press of the BANK button switches the bank in the order 1, 2, 3, 1, …, and the corresponding LED to the right of the BANK button will light up. For example, to select the electric grand piano sound, press the PIANO2 button, after which its button lights up. Then, press the BANK button twice to select Bank 3 (Electric Grand Piano); the LED below and to the right of the BANK button will light up. In addition, the bank selected for a sound button remains the same, even if a different sound button is pressed.

   • Each time the D1 is turned on, the sound in bank 1 is selected for all sound buttons.

Playing two sounds at the same time (Layer mode)
You can play two sounds at the same time on the keyboard. This is called the Layer mode. Simultaneously press the two sound buttons for the sounds to be played at the same time. The two selected sound buttons will light up.

The leftmost or uppermost selected sound button is layer 1, and the other (rightmost or lowermost) one is layer 2 (see the diagram at the below).

For example, if E.PIANO1 and ORGAN1 are selected, E.PIANO1 is layer 1 and ORGAN1 is layer 2. In order to use sounds in different banks, first select the banks in the Single mode for the sound buttons to be pressed.

For example, to play by layering the grand piano and jazz organ 2 sounds, select bank 2 (grand piano) for the PIANO1 button and bank 2 (jazz organ 2) for the ORGAN1 button, and then press both buttons simultaneously.

• When selecting Layer mode, the total number of voices that can play at the same time is reduced, depending on the total number of oscillators used by the selected sounds. (refer to “About maximum polyphony”).
• Sounds in different banks for the same sound button (concert piano and grand piano for the PIANO1 but-ton) cannot be selected.

Returning to the Single mode
To return to Single mode, just press a single sound selection button.

Layer mode settings
In Layer mode, the volume balance between sounds can be adjusted, the octave for each sound can be shifted, and the damper pedal can be enabled or disabled for each sound. (refer to “Function mode”.)

Using a damper pedal
You can use the pedal to make your playing more expressive and realistic. Pressing this pedal will sustain the sound, producing a richly resonant decay. You can also add the damper reso-nance to the concert piano, the grand piano and the jazz piano sound (bank 1 and 2 of Piano1, bank 1 of Piano2). Using the optional damper pedal DS-1H will let you vary the amount of damper that’s applied according to how deeply you press the pedal (“half-pedaling”).

Memo:
In Layer mode, you can select the sound(s) where you want to apply the damper effect. (refer to “Pedal of layer mode”)

Temperament types

Spacing all semitones at equal pitch intervals, this temperament is the most widely used.

01| Pure temperament [major]: Major chords in the key (C) are perfectly tuned.
02| Pure temperament [minor]: Minor chords in the key (C) are perfectly tuned.
03| Arabic: This scale includes the quarter-tone inter- vals used in Arabic music.
04| Pythagorean: This ancient Greek scale is espe- cially effective for playing melodies. It consists of perfect fifths; however, other intervals – the major third in particular – is out of tune.
05| Werckmeister: The Werckmeister III scale was created in the later Baroque period to allow rela- tively free transposition.
06| Kirnberger: The Kirnberger III scale is used mainly for tuning harpsichords.
07| Slendro scale: This is an Indonesian gamelan

scale with five notes per octave.

08| Pelog scale: This is an Indonesian gamelan scale with seven notes per octave.

About stretched tuning
In order to produce the most natural resonance, PIANO1 and PIANO2 sounds use a “stretched tuning” that makes the notes of the lower range slightly flatter than equal temperament, and the upper range slightly sharper. This is how an acoustic piano is normally tuned by professional tuners.

MIDI

What is MIDI?
MIDI, is the abbreviation of Musical Instrument Digital Interface. It is an international standard that was created to connect and transfer data between electronic musical instruments, computers, and other devices.

What can you do with MIDI?
Thanks to MIDI, you can use the D1 to control other instruments, use other instruments to control the D1, and use a sequencer to create complex musical pieces. When you use the D1 keyboard or pedal or select a sound, the notes, pedal activation, and change in sound are transmitted to another instrument, or are recorded by a sequencer.

Connections

Commercially available MIDI cables are used to transfer MIDI data. Connect these cables from the MIDI connec-tors of the D1 to the MIDI connectors of the external MIDI device that you want to exchange data with. There are two types of MIDI connectors.

MIDI IN connector
This connector receives MIDI messages. The MIDI IN connector lets you play the D1’s sounds from an external MIDI device (e.g., MIDI keyboard or sequencer). Use a MIDI cable to connect the D1’s MIDI IN connector to your external MIDI device’s MIDI OUT connector.

MIDI OUT connector
This connector transmits MIDI messages. The MIDI OUT connector lets you control an external MIDI device using the MIDI messages transmitted from the D1. Use a MIDI cable to connect the D1’s MIDI OUT connector to your external MIDI device’s MIDI IN connector.

MIDI function mode
When the D1 is turned on, the MIDI parameters are set to transmission channel 1, all reception channels (1–16), Local On and Omni Off.

• These settings can be changed from the MIDI function mode.

Setting procedure for parameters in the MIDI function mode

1. Hold down the FUNCTION button (for at least 3 seconds).
   The FUNCTION button blinks and the PIANO1 button lights up.

2. Press the appropriate button shown below to select a parameter.
   The pressed button lights up, and the current setting appears in the display.

3. Press the + or – button to select a setting.

4. To exit Function Mode, press the FUNCTION button. The FUNCTION button goes dark.

   • All MIDI settings are applied to all sounds.
   • When the D1 is turned off, all parameters return to their factory default settings.

List of MIDI functions

Description [default setting]
PIANO1| MIDI Channnel *1| C01…C16
1…16 [C01]
Specify the transmission channel for MIDI data.
PIANO2| Local On/Off| on, oFF
Enabling (turn on)/disabling (turn off) the D1 sound source [on]
With the Local On setting, playing the D1’s keyboard produces the sounds of the perfor- mance as well as transmits MIDI data. With the Local Off setting, playing the D1’s key- board does not produce the sounds of the performance; MIDI data is only transmitted. Normally this parameter is set to Local On (default setting: on).

Disable this (set to “oFF”) in order to prevent echo back (two sounds playing unintention- ally at the same time).

E.PIANO1| PC Filter *2| on, oFF
Enabling/disabling program change trans- mission/reception filtering [oFF: transmis- sion/reception]
The programs on a connected MIDI device can be changed by sending a MIDI change number from the D1. In addition, the pro- grams on the D1 can be changed by receiv- ing a MIDI change number from a connect- ed MIDI device.

If an incompatible program change number is received, the D1 sound is not changed.

E.PIANO2| CC Filter| on, oFF
Enabling/disabling control change transmis- sion/reception filtering [oFF: transmission/ reception]
Messages, such as usage of the D1’s damper pedal, can be transmitted to a connected external MIDI device to control it, and these messages can be received from the external MIDI device to control the D1.
HARPSI/ CLAV| Multi-timbral On/Off| on, oFF
Operating as a 16-part multi-timbral sound module [on: operating]
The D1 can operate as a 16-part multi-tim- brawl sound module when an external MIDI device is used to control its internal sound generator.

1. MIDI channel
   In Layer Mode, this setting will be the transmission channel for Layer 1, and the transmission channel for Layer 2 will automatically be set to the following channel.
   For example, if MIDI channel C07 is selected for layer 1, MIDI channel C08 will automatically be specified for layer 2. If MIDI channel C16 is selected for layer 1, MIDI channel C01 will be specified for layer 2.

Troubleshooting

If during use any of the following problems should occur, carefully examine the instrument to see if you can find out what the problem is, and try resolving it by following the suggestions below. If the instrument still does not function properly, please contact your dealer.

The instrument will not turn on

• Check that the AC adapter is correctly connected to the piano and the outlet.

No sound

• Make sure that the volume is not set on MIN. If it is, bring it up to an adequate level.
• Make sure that the MIDI Local function is not set on OFF. If it is, set it to ON (or turn the instrument off and then on again).

Notes are interrupted

• You have exceeded the maximum polyphony. see “About maximum polyphony.”

The pitch or tone of the piano sounds wrong in some key regions

• The D1’s piano sounds to replicate the sound of an actual piano as faithfully as possible. This means that in some regions of the keyboard, you may feel that the overtones seem stronger, or that the tone or pitch seems wrong. This is not a malfunction.

The connected MIDI device does not respond to transmitted MIDI data

• Make sure that all MIDI cables are correctly connected. Make sure that the D1 is receiving MIDI data on the same channel as the MIDI device.

About maximum polyphony
If the number of notes being played simultaneously exceeds the maximum polyphony, some notes will be lost since the D1 is equipped with a mechanism that stops the first note being played to give priority to notes played with keys pressed later. Some D1 sounds, although they may be a single sound, are generated by two or more os-cillators (one note of a sound-generating circuit). Sounds using just one oscillator, such as those in banks 1 and 2 of VIBES/GUITAR, have a maximum polyphony of 120 notes. Sounds using two oscillators, such as those in banks 3 of PIANO1 and in banks 1 and 2 of E.PIANO2, have a maxi-mum polyphony of 60 notes.

120 ÷ Number of sound oscillators = Maximum polyphony Keep the maximum polyphony in mind and carefully choose sounds when using Layer mode to play two sounds simultaneously or when using the damper pedal.

using the ST-SV1 optional keyboard stand

When using the ST-SV1 optional keyboard stand (sold separately)
The D1 can be used with an ST-SV1 keyboard stand (the ST-SV1 BK model, sold separately). For the D1, use the instructions shown below instead for step 8 when assembling the ST-SV1 BK.

Using two people, lift the D1 (A), and attach it to the ST-SV1 stand (B). While one person prevents the D1 from falling down, The other person lines up the screws (o) on the left and right of the ST-SV1 with the screw holes (n) on the bottom of the D1. As a guide, plate (f) should fit right between the two grooves (p) on the center of the bottom of the D1. Be careful that the plate does not touch the screw (k) at the center front of the bottom of the D1 and the head of the screw (l) in the center towards the back. Align the holes (n) under the D1 to match the screws (o) of the ST-SV1.

• Remove the included AC adapter before assembling the ST-SV1.
• Be very careful not to pinch your fingers during lifting and attaching the D1 to the ST-SV1.
• Make sure that the D1 is firmly secured to the ST-SV1 before playing. Failure to secure the ST-SV1 may cause the D1 to fall off and injure you, or cause damage to the D1.
