A
MASTER VOLUME
The volume cursor controls the total sound level of the instrument. To adequately reproduce the sound of the piano, you are recommended not
to exceed 50-70% of the total volume, since this value allows you to obtain a sound level comparable with that of a traditional acoustic piano.
KEYBOARD / PEDALS
The GP 10 is equipped with a keyboard of 88 high quality weighed keys, sensitive to the touch.
It also avails of S S u u s s t t a a i i n n pedal that works just like the typical Sustain pedal on the acoustic piano and extends the notes played.
PRESETS
The GP 10 is equipped with 1 1 6 6 P P r r e e s s e e t t s, namely pre-selected voices, which however cannot be programmed. There are 8 keys used to select the
Voices and they are situated on the right hand side of the display. 2 Voices are assigned to each of the 8 keys. When the LED of the V V a a r r i i a a t t i i o o n n
key is switched off, the 8 keys are used to select the sounds written under the keys (Grand, Rock etc.); when the V V a a r r i i a a t t i i o o n n key is lit, they are
used to select the sounds written above the keys ( Upright, Honky etc. ).
The names written on the panel only refer to the Presets (and not to the Programs ).
To select a Preset, check if the LED of the Program key is switched off first.

DUAL MODE
The Dual Mode is used to select two Preset Voices simultaneously. If, for example, you wish to play Piano and Strings together, press and hold
the Grand key down and then press the Strings key too. In this case the Strings Voice is denominated 2nd Voice, since it is the second one
pressed. If a Preset Voice amongst the first 8 locations is to be played in Dual Mode with another amongst the second 8, such as Grand and
Choir for example, press the Grand key first and hold it down, then press Variation and then, holding both keys down, press the key relative to
the Choir Voice too. The Dual mode works exclusively with the Presets (and not with the Programs ).
