19IntroductionUnderstanding the MP11SE Preparation before useThe MP11SE does not feature built-in speakers. Therefore, in order to listen to the MP11SE, it will first be necessary to connect a mixer,keyboard amplifier, or headphones to the instrument.Once connected to an audio output device, press the POWER SWITCH located on the right of the rear panel to turn on the MP11SE.It is recommended to turn on the MP11SE before the audio output device in order to avoid the unpleasant switching noise that cansometimes occur. MP11SE section structure: explanationThe MP11SE features 3 internal sound sections: PIANO, E.PIANO, and SUB. Each section features a dedicated VOLUME fader and canbe turned ON or OFF freely.The PIANO, E.PIANO, and SUB sections share largely the same operation, with 4 category buttons and multiple sounds assigned toeach category. The PIANO and SUB sound sections each feature one EFX module, while the E.PIANO section offers two separateEFX modules and an additional AMP simulator. All sounds can be adjusted using the various parameters in the EDIT menu, withadditional ‘Feature Parameters’ that are specific to each of the three sound sections.The MP11SE’s external (MIDI) functionality is divided into four independently controlled zones. As with the internal sound sections,various EDIT menu parameters are available to define transmit/receive channels, MMC features, keyboard ranges, and knobassignments etc.REVERB settings are common for all internal sections, however the DEPTH can be controlled independently for each section.The MP11SE’s EQ is also common for all internal sections, however parameters in the EDIT menu allow the tonal character for eachsection’s sound to be adjusted independently.Modifications to each sound can be stored as individual SOUND presets, while the entire configuration of the MP11SE itself can bestored in one of the 208 SETUP memories.As noted previously, the master VOLUME fader does not affect the FIXED OUTPUT jacks, but does affect the (normal) OUTPUT jacks.This allows audio engineers to control the level of the instrument at the mixing desk, while still allowing performers to adjust thevolume of their monitor speakers freely.
