IAC is a function which automatically adjusts and controls the sound quality according to the overall volume of the instrument.

IAC Control is effective only on the sound that is output to the instrument speakers or headphones. Even when the volume is

low, this lets you hear both low sounds and high sounds clearly. Especially when using headphones, the burden on the ears is

reduced without the need for raising the overall volume excessively.

the C#2 key to turn it on.

Default setting: On

To adjust IAC depth:

Grand Piano

This sound was sampled from a concert grand piano. It uses different

samples depending on the strength of your playing and produces smoother

tonal changes. Even the tonal changes produced by the damper pedal and

the subtle sounds of releasing a key are reproduced. The sympathetic

vibration (string resonance) that occurs among the strings of an acoustic

piano has also been simulated. Suitable not only for classical compositions

but also for piano pieces of any style.

Live Grand Spacious and clear piano with bright reverb. Good for popular music.

Ballad Grand Warm and soft piano sound. Good for relaxing music.

Bright Grand Bright piano sound. Clear tone helps the sound to “cut through” when playing

in an ensemble.

Stage E.Piano The sound of an electric piano using hammer-struck metallic “tines.” Soft tone

when played lightly, and an aggressive tone when played hard.

DX E.Piano

An electronic piano sound created by FM synthesis. Extremely “musical”

response with varying timbre according to keyboard dynamics. Good for

standard popular music.

Vintage E.Piano A slightly different electric piano sound often heard in rock and popular music.

Used in the Dual mode it blends well with an acoustic piano Voice.

Jazz Organ

A “tonewheel” type electric organ. Often heard in jazz and rock music. When

the sep- arately sold Pedal Unit (LP-1) is connected, the rotary speed of the

“ROTARY SP” effect can be switched by using the left pedal.

Rock Organ Bright and edgy electric organ sound. Good for rock music.

Organ Principal A typical pipe organ sound (8 feet + 4 feet + 2 feet). Good for sacred music

from the Baroque period.

and Fugue.”
