Introduction

Main features

Thirty high-quality sounds

The SP-280 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,

or you can use Partner mode, which allows two people to

play the same range, one on each half of the keyboard.

Eects

TheSP-280provides3built-indigitaleects.Theseeects

can adjust the brightness of the tone (Brilliance), simulate

the natural ambience of a concert hall (Reverb) and add

richness to the sound (Chorus).

Pedal eects

Youcanobtainthesamedampereectasthatofanacous-

tic piano using the damper pedal that is included with the

unit. You can also add the damper resonance to the classic

piano and the grand piano tone (bank 1 and 2 of PIANO1).

Furthermore, the damper pedal can function as a half

damper pedal so that you can change the condition that

the damper is applied by the depth to which the pedal is

pressed.

Use optional pedal unit (sold separately) for soft and soste-

nutoeectsinadditiontothedampereect.

Metronome

The built-in metronome allows you to select the time sig-

nature, tempo, and volume, and you can even choose a bell

sound as the accent.

Touch control

Youcanchoosefromthreedierentseingstoadjusthow

the sound will respond to your keyboard playing dynamics.

Temperaments

For authentic performance of a wide range of music, the

SP-280 allows you to select from nine temperaments, in-

cluding the equal temperament, pure temperaments (ma-

jor 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

nelytunedadjustments.

Two headphone jacks

Two headphone jacks (one each on the front and back of

the SP-280) are provided, allowing two people to listen si-

multaneously.

LINE IN/LINE OUT jacks

When connecting a sound system or other electronic musi-

cal instrument to the LINE IN jack, sound from the con-

nected device will be heard through the speakers of the SP-

280. In addition, powered monitors or a recording system

can be connected by using the LINE OUT jacks.

MIDI capabilities

The SP-280 supports the MIDI protocol, the standard that

allows music data to be transferred between musical instru-

ments and computers. MIDI allows two or more devices to

control or be controlled by each other, and also allows you

to use the SP-280 as a 16-part multitimbral tone generator.

Before you begin playing

About the included stand

If the stand is to be used, see the “Installing the stand” section on page 16 before con-

nectingtheACadapterandaachingthemusicstand.

Connecting the Power

Connect the supplied AC adapter to the power cord. Insert the DC plug end into the

DC19V jack on the rear panel of the unit. Next, plug the power cord into an AC outlet.

Pass the AC adapter cord through the cord hook so that the plug won’t be re-

moved from the jack accidentally. When you unhook the cord, don’t pull the cord

with force.

Be sure to use the AC adapter that came with your unit. Using other AC adapters

may cause the unit to malfunction.

Be sure to plug the unit into an AC outlet of the appropriate voltage.

Using the headphones

Use stereo headphones with a stereo mini plug.

Since there is one headphone jack on the back (Fig. 1) and one on the front (Fig. 2), two

people can listen simultaneously.

When the headphone plug is inserted into the headphone jack on the front or back of

the SP-280, no sound will be produced from the speakers. Use headphones at night or

when you don’t want disturb others.

If your headphones feature a standard-to-mini adapter plug, be sure to hold the

adapter plug when you connect or disconnect the headphones.

To protect your hearing, do not listen to loud, high-volume sounds for a long pe-

riod of time through headphones.

Using the music stand

Insert the pins on the included music stand into the music stand holes in the rear

panel. (Fig. 2)

Adjust the volume

Rotate the VOLUME knob that’s located next to the power switch toward “MAX” to

raise the volume level.

Rotate it left toward “MIN” to lower the level. (Fig. 3)

The VOLUME knob controls the output level of the built-in speakers, the headphones

jacks and the LINE OUT jacks.

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 SP-280 to control other

instruments, use other instruments to control the SP-280,

and use a sequencer to create complex musical pieces.

When you use the SP-280 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 connectors

of the SP-280 to the MIDI connectors of the external MIDI

device that you want to exchange data with. There are two

types of MIDI connector.

MIDIINconnector

This connector receives MIDI messages.

The MIDI IN connector lets you play the SP-280’s sounds

from an external MIDI device (e.g., MIDI keyboard or se-

quencer). Use a MIDI cable to connect the SP-280’s MIDI IN

connector to your external MIDI device’s MIDI OUT con-

nector.

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 SP-280. Use a MIDI cable to connect the SP-280’s MIDI

OUT connector to your external MIDI device’s MIDI IN

connector.

Appendix

Troubleshooting

If during use any of the following problems should occur,

carefullyexaminetheinstrumenttoseeifyoucanndout

what the problem is, and try resolving it by following the

suggestions below. If the instrument will still not function

properly refer to 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oand

then on again).

• Make sure there is not a jack plugged into one of the

Headphones jacks. This would turn the internal speak-

erso.ifso,unplugthejack.

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 SP-280’s piano sounds 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 trans-

mitted MIDI data

• Make sure that all MIDI cables are correctly connected.

Make sure that the SP-280 is receiving MIDI data on the

same channel as the MIDI device.

About maximum polyphony

If the number of notes being played simultaneously ex-

ceeds the maximum polyphony, some notes will be lost

since the SP-280 is equipped with a mechanism that stops

therstnotebeingplayedtogiveprioritytonotesplayed

with keys pressed later. Some SP-280 sounds, although

they may be a single sound, are generated by two or more

oscillators (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 1 and

2 of PIANO2 and in banks 1 and 3 of E.PIANO2, have a

maximum 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.

Warning

●

The stand must be installed by at least two people.

Installation precautions

Be sure to observe the following precautions in order to

safely and correctly perform the installation.

• Make sure that the correct parts are in the correct ori-

entation and position, and perform the installation in

the order of the steps provided.

Other precautions

Observe the following precautions after the stand has been

installed.

• Loosenedscrews

Since the screws may become loose as time passes af-

ter installation, we recommend periodically checking

for loose screws. In addition, if you feel that the stand

shakes excessively, it may be due to screws becoming

loose. In that case, re-tighten them.

• Whentransportingtheinstrument

Transporting the instrument with the stand installed

may result in unforeseen damage. Remove the stand

from the SP-280, and then transport them separately.

After they have been transported, re-install the stand

as described in “Installing the stand”.

• Removal

Remove the stand by reversing the installation proce-

dure. After removal, store the screws and other parts

so they will not be lost.

Installation procedure

Make sure that all of the following parts are available.

In addition, check if enough of the bolts on the front legs

extend out (14 mm or more), and then install the legs after

adjusting the bolt lengths.

If the bolts are not long enough (less than 14 mm), turn

the adjusters until they reach an appropriate length.

Tempéraments

Afin de garantir un jeu authentique dans un vaste éventail de

styles musicaux, le SP-280 vous permet de choisir parmi neuf tem-

péraments, comprenant la gamme tempérée, les tempéraments

purs (majeur et mineur), les tempéraments classiques (Kirnberger

et Werckmeister) ainsi que des tempéraments utilisés dans la

musique traditionnelle d’Inde et du Moyen-Orient. Quand vous

Prises LINE IN/LINE OUT

Quand vous reliez un dispositif audio ou un autre instrument

de musique électronique à la prise LINE IN, le son de l’appareil

connecté est reproduit sur les enceintes du SP-280. En outre, vous

pouvez connecter des retours actifs ou un système d’enregistre-

ment via les prises LINE OUT.

Caractéristiques MIDI

Le SP-280 supporte le protocole MIDI, c’est à dire un protocole

standard qui permet d’échanger des données musicales entre

instruments musicaux et ordinateurs. Le protocole MIDI permet à

deux dispositifs (ou plus) de piloter ou d’être pilotés l’un l’autre ;

le SP-280 peut ainsi fonctionner comme un générateur sonore à 16

parties multitimbres.
