TCH on the rear panel It is recommended to turn the MP8 on before turning on any amplifiers in order to avoid switching noise What you need to know before starting Please read this part for a better understanding of the MP8 structure Basically there is no difference between SOUND and SETUP mode The main difference is that SETUP is used to recall your stored SETUPs You can edit and make changes in both modes freely The same parameters are available in both modes If you edit in SOUND mode your settings get lost after power of if you don t store them as SETUP If you want to start from scratch use the SOUND mode and press PIANO ONLY first If you want to modify a SETUP just select it and start editing and store later it as SETUP If you notice when you select a sound that it sounds strange its probably because some of the parameters like knobs etc were edited To get back to the default settings for any sound simply use the PIANO ONLY function and reselect the sound 2 2 Selecting a Sound The MP8 always starts up in SOUND mode when the power is turned ON The SOUND button will be lit to indicate SOUND mode is active Operation 1 Select the sound category by pressing a sound select button in the top row There are 3 rows of sound select buttons the top row is for selecting a sound category and the second and third rows are for selecting a variation For example to select 60 s EP2 first press the E PIANO in the
