5. Manual An instrument only made for your passion to play MUSIC Content 06 Features ore 20 Facts Preface We are happy if you don t read this manual 04 because as with all Waldorf instru ments our goal during development of Zarenbourg was to design the user interface to be as intuitive and self explanatory as possible In case you do decide to read it you may very likely skip over this preface and jump straight to the hard facts However if you de cide against all odds to continue reading here you will be rewarded in the end During conception of Zarenbourg pi ano we wanted to create an instru ment where playing is the primary focus Usually electronic keyboards require a lot of accessories and add ons like keyboard stands amplifiers etc that you have to assemble and connect before you can even hear the first note We have tried to minimize these often frustrating obstacles with Zarenbourg so that you can approach it as a true musical instrument One element that often adorns most electronic keyboards nowadays is the digital display or LCD But with Zaren bourg we deliberately decided to omit it An LCD demands so much attention that it often steals the show We think you should instead stay focused on playing music Moreover we also con sider the LCD to be a aesthetic catast rophe So instead we made the so phisticated Zarenbourg architecture easily accessi
