WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed

below to avoid the possibility of serious injury

or even death from electrical shock, short-

circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards.

These precautions include, but are not limited

to, the following:

Power supply

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources

such as heaters or radiators. Also, do not

excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord,

or place heavy objects on it.

• Do not touch the product or the power plug during

an electrical storm.

• Use only the correct voltage specified for the

product. The required voltage is printed on the

name plate of the product.

• Use only the supplied or the specified AC adaptor

(page 118)/power cord. Do not use the AC

adaptor/power cord for other devices.

• Check the power plug periodically and remove

any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on

it.

• Insert the power plug firmly all the way into the

AC outlet. Using the product when it is not

plugged in sufficiently can cause dust to

accumulate on the plug, possibly resulting in fire

or skin burns.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the

AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If

some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately

turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug

from the outlet. Even when the power switch is

turned off, as long as the power cord is not

unplugged from the wall AC outlet, the product

will not be disconnected from the power source.

• Do not connect the product to an electrical outlet

using a multi-plug outlet extender. Doing so can

result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause

overheating in the outlet.

• When disconnecting the power plug, always hold

the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the

cord can damage it and cause electric shocks or

a fire.

• If not using the product for long periods of time,

be sure to pull the power plug from the AC outlet.

Do not disassemble

• This product contains no user-serviceable parts.

Do not attempt to disassemble the internal parts

or modify them in any way.

Water warning

• Do not expose the product to rain, use it near

water or in damp or wet conditions, or place on it

any containers (such as vases, bottles or

glasses) containing liquids which might spill into

any openings or places where water may drop. A

liquid such as water getting into the product may

cause a fire, electric shocks, or malfunctions.

• Use the AC adaptor indoors only. Do not use in

any wet environments.

• Never insert or remove a power plug with wet

hands.

Fire warning

• Do not place any burning items or open flames

near the product, since they may cause a fire.

Wireless unit

• Radio waves from this product may affect electro-

medical devices, such as a heart pacemaker

implant or defibrillator implant.

- Do not use the product near medical devices or

inside medical facilities. Radio waves from this

product may affect electro-medical devices.

- Do not use the product within 15 cm (6 in.) of

persons with a heart pacemaker implant or a

defibrillator implant.

Connections

• Be sure to read the manual of the device to be

connected, and follow the instructions. Failure to

observe this may cause a fire, overheating,

explosion, or malfunction.

PRECAUTIONS

4P-525 Owner’s Manual

If you notice any abnormality

• If any of the following problems occur,

immediately turn off the power switch and

disconnect the power plug from the outlet.

product.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed

below to avoid the possibility of physical injury

to you or others, or damage to the instrument or

other property. These precautions include, but

are not limited to, the following:

Location

• Do not place the product in an unstable position

or a location with excessive vibration, where it

might accidentally fall over and cause injury.

• Do not go near the product during an earthquake.

Strong shaking during an earthquake could

cause the product to move or tip over, resulting in

damage to the product or its parts, and possibly

causing injury.

• When transporting or moving the product, always

use two or more people. Attempting to lift the

product by yourself may result in injuries, such as

back injuries, or cause the product to be dropped

and broken, which could lead to other injuries.

• Before moving the product, remove all connected

cables, to prevent damage to the cables or injury

to anyone who might trip over them.

• Use only the stand specified for the product.

When attaching it, use the provided screws only.

Failure to do so could cause damage to the

internal components or result in the product

falling over.

Connections

• Before connecting the product to other devices,

turn off the power for all devices. Before turning

the power on or off for all devices, set all volume

levels to minimum.

• Be sure to set the volumes of all devices at their

minimum levels and gradually raise the volume

controls while playing the product to set the

desired listening level.

Handling

• Do not insert foreign materials such as metal or

paper into any openings or gaps of the product.

Failure to observe this may cause a fire, electric

shocks, or malfunctions.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy

objects on the product, and do not use excessive

force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

• Do not use the product or headphones for a long

period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume

level, since this can cause permanent hearing

loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing

in the ears, consult a physician.

• Remove the power plug from the AC outlet before

cleaning the unit. Failure to observe this may

cause electric shocks.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is

not in use.

Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in

standby status (power lamp is off), electricity is still

flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.

When you are not using the instrument for a long

time, make sure you unplug the power cord from

the wall AC outlet.

GM System Level 2

“GM (General MIDI)” is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. “GM System Level 2” is a

standard specification that enhances the original “GM” and improves Song data compatibility. It provides

for increased polyphony, greater Voice selection, expanded Voice parameters, and integrated effect

processing.

XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically

to provide more Voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects, and to

ensure compatibility of data well into the future.

GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhancement

of the GM specifically to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater

expressive control over Voices and effects.

NOTICE

After removing the music rest from the instrument, do not leave it on the

instrument for long time. Doing so may cause color transference or glue to

adhere to it.

Insert into the hole without removing the cap.

P-525 Owner’s Manual

Truly Portable electric piano,

ideal for wide variety of

applications

The P-525 digital piano is exceptionally portable—

allowing you practice it in your bedroom, or perform

with it at a party. You can enjoy it like a normal piano

when using it with the separately sold keyboard stand

(L-515) and pedal unit (LP-1). You can also enjoy

authentic live performances when using it with the

portable pedal unit (FC35).

Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer

Imperial piano samples

The P-525 features gorgeous piano sounds created with

samples of the Yamaha CFX flagship concert grand piano

and famed Vienna-made Bösendorfer* grand piano.

These piano samples bring two world’s finest and most

prominent concert grand pianos to your fingertips.

* Bösendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.

Grand Expression Modeling

and Virtual Resonance

Modeling (VRM) — two

powerful, expressive grand

piano-like features (page 24)

“Grand Expression Modeling” technology recreates the

subtle changes in the sound that are produced by

changing your touch from when you press a key to when

you release it. The VRM technology featured in this

instrument reproduces the complicated interaction of

both string and soundboard resonance and makes the

sound more like a real acoustic piano. These two

technologies enables a wide variety of performance

expression.

GrandTouch-S™ keyboard with

real wood keys provides the feel

of an acoustic grand piano

The P-525 features white keys made from select quality

wood and fitted with the highest quality synthetic ivory,

while the black keys are finished in synthetic ebony. This

keyboard features a broad dynamic range and faithful

response to every nuance of touch that puts a wide

expanse of tone—from delicate to bold—at the pianist’s

fingertips.

Dynamic Rhythm Tracks

(page 43)

The P-525 comes complete with forty rhythm patterns

(drums and bass accompaniment) that are perfectly

suited to many types of music regularly performed on

the piano, for even greater performance potential. Simply

playing with your favorite rhythm pattern automatically

triggers and controls the drums and bass accompani-

ment, and you can enjoy the feeling of playing with a

backing band.

Convenient on-stage

performance functions

(page 92)

The P-525 also features the following useful functions for

performing on stage or in live spaces.

• Sound Boost (page 37)

This helps your sound stand out when playing along with

other instruments or in noisy environments.

• Panel Lock (page 40)

This allows you temporarily disable the front panel

buttons to prevent them being operated unintentionally

while performing.

• Registration Memory (page 72)

This allows you to save (register) your favorite settings to

buttons on the front panel, and then instantly recall the

settings while performing.

Comprehensive compatibility

with smart devices

Connecting the P-525 with a smart device, such as a

smartphone or tablet, gives you even greater musical

enjoyment and performance control.

• Powerful, convenient smart device apps

(page 81)

The P-525 is compatible with two highly convenient

apps: Smart Pianist and Rec'n'Share. Smart Pianist lets

you operate the instrument from your smart device and

even display the notation of Songs, while Rec'n'Share

enables you to film, record, and edit your performances.

• Bluetooth audio function enables audio

playback from a smart device (page 79)

You can use the P-525 as an audio device, and listen to

music from your Bluetooth-equipped device, such as a

smart device, and even enjoy performing with your

favorite music.

Setting Up

Auto Power Off function

To prevent unnecessary power consumption, this instrument features an Auto

Power Off function that automatically turns the power off if the instrument is

not operated for a specified period of time. The amount of time that elapses

before the power is automatically turned off is approximately 30 minutes by

default; however, you can change the setting (page 106).

To adjust the volume, use the [VOLUME] slider located at the right of the

panel. Play the keyboard to actually produce sound while you adjust the

volume.

Adjusting the [VOLUME] slider also affects the output level of the [PHONES]

jacks (page 14) and the output level of the AUX OUT jacks (page 76).

Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC)

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 output of 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 the headphones, the burden on the ears is reduced

without raising the overall volume excessively.

You can set the IAC setting On or Off and its depth. For details, refer to “IAC”

and “IAC depth” on page 105. The default setting for this function is “On.”

Disabling Auto Power Off (simple method)

Turn the power on while holding down the lowest key on the keyboard. An

“Auto power off disabled” message appears briefly and Auto Power Off is

disabled.

Setting Up

You can connect two pairs of headphones to the [PHONES] jacks. If you are

using only one pair, insert the plug into either of these jacks.

Reproducing the Natural Sensation of Sound Distance

—Binaural Sampling and Stereophonic Optimizer

This instrument features two advanced technologies that allow you to enjoy

exceptionally realistic, natural sound, even when listening on headphones.

Binaural Sampling (“CFX Grand” Voice only)

Binaural sampling is a method that uses two special microphones set at the ear

position of a performer and records the sound from a piano as it is. Listening to

the sound with this effect through headphones gives the impression of being

immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the piano. When

“CFX Grand” (page 110) is selected, connecting the headphones automatically

enables binaural sampling sound.

Stereophonic Optimizer (Voices in the Piano group other than

“CFX Grand”)

The Stereophonic Optimizer is an effect which reproduces natural sound

distance like the sound of binaural sampling even though you hear it on

headphones. When any other Voice in the Piano group besides “CFX Grand” is

selected, connecting the headphones automatically enables the Stereophonic

Optimizer.

Using Headphones

CAUTION

Do not use headphones at a

high volume for an extended

period of time. Doing so may

cause hearing loss.

This function is turned on by default. Note that when the “Speaker” setting

(page 106) is “On,” this function will always be disabled. Since these sounds are

optimized for listening with headphones, we recommend that you set this function

to “Off” in the following situations.

• Playing the piano sound of this instrument with an external powered speaker

system, while monitoring the sound output from this instrument on connected

headphones.

• Making an audio recording (page 61) while using headphones, and then playing

that recorded audio Song through speakers of this instrument. (Make sure to turn

off these functions before audio recording.)

For details on setting this On or Off, refer to “Binaural” on page 105.

Setting Up

Using the Foot Pedal

You can switch various selected functions on/off by using the included FC3A

foot pedal connected to the [AUX PEDAL] jack. Also a separately sold FC4A or

FC5 footswitch can be connected to the jack. To select the function, use the

“Aux Assign” (page 104) in the “System” menu display.

Using the Pedal Unit (sold separately)

The [PEDAL UNIT] jack is for connecting a separately sold LP-1 or FC35 pedal

unit. When connecting the LP-1 pedal unit, make sure to also assemble the unit

on a separately sold keyboard stand (L-515). When connecting the FC35 pedal

unit, a keyboard stand is unnecessary.

NOTE

Make sure that power is off

when connecting or

disconnecting the foot pedal or

footswitch.

Half-pedal function

This function can be used when an included FC3A foot pedal or separately sold

LP-1 or FC-35 pedal unit (see below) is connected and it allows you to vary the

sustain length depending on how far the pedal is pressed. The farther down you

press the pedal, the more the sound sustains. You can specify the point to which

you must depress the foot pedal connected to the [AUX PEDAL] jack or the

damper pedal of the pedal unit (Half Pedal Point). To do this, press the [MENU]

button repeatedly to call up the “System” menu display: “Pedal” → “Half Pedal

Damper pedal (right pedal)

When you press the damper pedal, the notes you play

have a longer sustain. When you select a Voice in the

Piano group, pressing the damper pedal activates the

VRM (page 24) to accurately recreate the unique

resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard

and strings. This pedal features Half-pedal function.

Sostenuto pedal (center pedal)

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press

the sostenuto pedal while holding the note(s), the

notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. All

subsequent notes will not sustain.

Soft pedal (left pedal)

The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes

played while the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are

already playing when it is pressed. In order to apply this effect, play notes after

pressing the pedal.

Keep in mind that this pedal function will be changed from the Soft pedal

depending on the selected Voice (page 20). When “Jazz Organ” or “Rock

Organ” is selected, this pedal switches the Rotary Speaker speed between slow

and fast (“Rotary Speed” on page 96). When “Vibraphone” is selected, this

pedal switches Vibrato on and off (“VibeRotor” on page 96).

Assigning Functions to the Pedals

You can assign a different function to the foot pedal or footswitch connected to

the [AUX PEDAL] jack or left/center/right pedal connected to the [PEDAL

Term Description

Damper Noise Damper noise is the sound made on an acoustic piano when the damper pedal is pressed. The damper

noise changes in tone and volume depending on how quickly the damper pedal is pressed down. Pressing

the damper pedal slowly will make a quieter sound when the damper heads are released from the strings.

Pressing the damper pedal with force will transmit the vibrations to the strings, which adds a lower and

louder sound.

Duplex Scale Duplex scaling is a stringing method for pianos that uses extra, un-struck strings in the upper octaves to

enhance the tone. These strings sympathetically vibrate with other strings in an acoustic piano, resonating

with overtones, and adding richness, brilliance and complex color to the sound. Since the dampers do not

touch them, they will continue sounding even after you release your hands from the keyboard.

Grand Expression

Modeling

On an actual acoustic piano, subtle changes in the sound can be produced by changing your playing

touch from when you press a key to when you release it. For example, when you press a key all the way to

its bottom, the key hits the keybed underneath and the noise reaches the strings, changing the sound

slightly. Furthermore, the tone when the damper is lowered onto strings to mute the sound is changed by

how quickly you release the key. Grand Expression Modeling technology recreates these subtle changes in

the sound that respond to your touch. This allows you to add accents by playing strongly or add resonance

by playing softly to produce superbly expressive sound. A crisp tone can be heard when playing staccato

as well as a lingering sound produced when releasing the keys slowly.

VRM

(Virtual Resonance

Modeling)

The VRM (Virtual Resonance Modeling) function uses sophisticated physical modeling to simulate the

actual string resonance sound that occurs when the damper pedal on a real piano is pressed or keys are

played and held. On an actual acoustic piano, if you press the damper pedal and play a key, not only does

the string of the pressed key vibrate, it also causes other strings and the soundboard to vibrate, each

influencing the rest and creating a rich and brilliant resonance that sustains and spreads. The VRM (Virtual

Resonance Modeling) technology featured in this instrument reproduces the complicated interaction of

both string and soundboard resonance faithfully using a virtual musical instrument (physical modeling),

and makes the sound more like a real acoustic piano. Since instantaneous resonance is made at the

moment according to the state of the keyboard or pedal, you can vary the sound expressively by changing

the timing of your pressing the keys, and the timing and depth of your pressing the pedal.

• Commercially available Audio Song data: Wav (file extension = .wav with 44.1 kHz sample rate, 16-bit

resolution, stereo, and maximum 80 minutes length)

•MIDI Song

A MIDI Song is comprised of your keyboard performance information and is not a recording of the actual

sound itself. The performance information refers to which keys are played, at what timing, and at what

strength—just as in a musical score. Based on the recorded performance information, the tone generator

outputs the corresponding sound. A MIDI Song uses a small amount of data capacity in comparison to an

Audio song, and allows you to easily change aspects of the sound, such as Voices used, etc.

•Audio Song

An Audio Song is a recording of the performed sound itself. This data is recorded in the same way as that used

with voice recorders, etc. This data can be played with a portable music player, etc., allowing you to easily let

other people hear your performance.

54 P-525 Owner’s Manual

Recording Your Performance

This instrument allows you to record your performance in the following two methods.

• MIDI Recording

With this method, your performances are recorded as an SMF (format 0) MIDI file and saved to the

instrument or a USB flash drive. If you want to re-record a specific section or edit parameters such as Voice,

use this method. Also you can record your performance to each Track one by one. Since a MIDI Song can

be converted to an Audio Song after recording (page 70), you may want to use MIDI recording (with

overdubbing and multiple parts) to first create a complex arrangement you would not otherwise be able to

play live, then convert it to an Audio Song. This instrument allows you to record approximately 500 KB of

data per Song.

•Audio Recording

With this method, recorded performances are saved to a USB flash drive as an Audio file. Recording is done

without designating the recorded part. Since it is saved in stereo WAV format of normal CD quality

resolution (44.1 kHz/16 bit), it can be transmitted to and played on portable music players by using a

computer. Because the audio sound input* from the external device is also recorded, you can record your

keyboard performance along with the performance sound of the connected audio device, computer, or

smart device, etc. This instrument allows you to record up to 80 minutes per single recording.

* Audio sound input (Audio input sound):

Audio data sent to this instrument from the external devices such as a computer or a smart device, etc., when connecting the instrument

with the devices via [AUX IN] jack, [USB TO HOST] terminal, wireless LAN, or Bluetooth). For connection with these devices, refer to the

“Connecting to Other Devices” section from page 74.

For details about the difference between MIDI Songs and Audio Songs, refer to page 44.

This chapter covers the following four methods. Note that the created data

format differs depending on the method, MIDI or Audio.

• Quick MIDI Recording ....................................... page 55

This method lets you start recording most quickly. Your performance will be

recorded and saved to the “User” category (page 45) in this instrument’s

internal memory.

• MIDI Recording — Independent Tracks ............ page 57

This lets you record the right, left and extra parts separately. Since you can

record the left part while playing back the right, this is useful for recording both

parts of a duet. Since you can record up to sixteen parts separately, record the

performance of each instrument part one by one and create fully orchestrated

compositions.

• MIDI Recording to the USB Flash Drive ............ page 59

This method is useful when you want to overwrite the already recorded MIDI

Song in the USB flash drive or create a New MIDI Song on the USB flash drive.

• Audio Recording to the USB Flash Drive ...........page 61

This method lets you record your performance as Audio data to the USB flash

drive connected to the [ ] (USB TO DEVICE) terminal.

Recording Your Performance

With MIDI Recording, you can create a MIDI Song consisting of 16 tracks by

recording your performance to each track one by one. In recording a piano

piece, for example, you can record the right-hand part to Track 1 then record

the left-hand part to Track 2, allowing you create a complete piece which may

be difficult to play live with both hands together. To record a performance with

Rhythm playback, for example, record Rhythm playback, then record melodies

to Track 1 while listening to the already recorded Rhythm playback. In this way,

you can create an entire Song which would otherwise be difficult, or even

impossible, to play live.

1. Execute the same operations as in step 1 and step 2 on

page 55 to enter the Recording mode with a new blank

Song selected.

2. Use the [ ]/[ ] buttons to select a Recording Track.

Rhythm cannot be added to a recorded Song. When you want to record

Rhythm, make sure to record the Rhythm playback first.

When you want to record the right-hand part, highlight “R” (Track 1).

When you want to record the left-hand part, highlight “L” (Track 2).

Alternately, when you want to record your performance to Tracks 3 – 16,

call up the desired one by pressing the [ ]/[ ] buttons repeatedly.

If the Rhythm playback was recorded first before other tracks, it is

automatically recorded to one of the Tracks 9 – 11 (or all the three tracks).

If this is the case, select the desired track for recording from any except

for these tracks.

and deterioration than that from the [AUX IN] jack.

• Recording performance on the instrument as audio data by

using a recording software or a music production software

The recorded audio data can be played back on the computer or smart

device.

Example:

Audio Loopback On/Off

This allows you to set whether audio sound input from the connected

computer or smart device, via the USB audio interface function, or Bluetooth

Audio (page 79) / wireless LAN (page 83) / [AUX IN] jack (page 76), is output

to a computer or a smart device or not along with the performance played on

the instrument. To output the audio input sound, set the Audio Loopback to

“On.” However, input sounds via Bluetooth Audio or [AUX IN] jack are always

output regardless of this Audio Loopback on/off setting.

For example, if you want to record the audio input sound as well as the sound

played on the instrument by using the computer or the smart device, set this to

“On.” If you intend to record only the sound played on the instrument by using

the computer or the smart device, set this to “Off.”

For details on the settings, refer to “Audio Loopback” on page 106.

About Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a technology for wireless communication between devices within an area of

about 10 meters (33 ft.) employing the 2.4 GHz frequency band.

Handling Bluetooth communications

• The 2.4 GHz band used by Bluetooth compatible devices is a radio band shared by

many types of equipment. While Bluetooth compatible devices use a technology

minimizing the influence of other components using the same radio band, such

influence may reduce the speed or distance of communications and in some cases

interrupt communications.

• The speed of signal transfer and the distance at which communication is possible

differs according to the distance between the communicating devices, the presence of

obstacles, radio wave conditions and the type of equipment.

• Yamaha does not guarantee all wireless connections between this unit and devices

compatible with Bluetooth function.

Before using the Bluetooth function, be sure to read “About Bluetooth” (see below).

mixer’s inputs. Normally, this connection is made via a DI box (direct box)

located onstage. Connect the AUX OUT [R] and [L/L+R] jacks on the

instrument’s rear panel to the DI box inputs using commercially available

standard mono audio cables.

1 Set the [VOLUME] slider to the MIN position.

2 Check with the PA operator whether you can connect the instrument to the PA

mixer or not.

3 Connect the instrument as the following illustration.

Your instrument should now be fully connected. The next step will be to

balance your performance sounds.

NOTICE

Please read the following

before setting up.

• Ensure that the instrument

is turned off before making

any connections.

• Make sure to check with the

PA operator when

connecting or

disconnecting cables or

turning on/off. Failure to do

so may damage to the PA

system.

NOTE

• When playing the piano

sound of this instrument with

an external powered speaker,

and while monitoring the

sound output from this

instrument on connected

headphones, we recommend

that you set the “Binaural

Sampling” or “Stereophonic

Optimizer” functions to “OFF”

(page 14).

• If only one of the DI box

channels is available for use

with your instrument, connect

it to the AUX OUT [L/L+R]

jack using a standard mono

audio cable. In this

configuration, your left and

right signals will be mixed

and output from the

instrument in mono.

• If DI boxes are not being

used, connect the AUX OUT

[R] and [L/L+R] jacks to the

input jacks on the PA mixer or

an on-stage sub-mixer.

P-525 Owner’s Manual

Performing Live

Sound setup

Once all of the instruments and microphones have been connected, the PA

operator will ask each musician in turn to play his or her instrument. You

should get ready as follows.

Turn on your instrument.

Set the [VOLUME] slider to the MIN position. Check with the PA operator whether you

can turn on the instrument, then press the [] (Standby/On) switch.

Check your settings.

• Once turned on, ensure that your instrument is set up as follows.

- Tuned to match the other instruments (Master tuning, page 35).

- Auto Power-Off function disabled (page 13).

- Footswitch or foot pedal is operating correctly as an assigned function (page 17).

- Reverb is turned off (page 26).

• Turn off the speaker sound of your instrument (page 106) as necessary.

• Recall the settings saved to Registration Memory (page 72) as necessary.

Determine the optimum levels.

When asked by the PA operator to output a sound, play the digital piano as you would

when performing and determine the best settings for the following.

• Volume when you are playing accompaniment

• Volume when you are playing loudest, such as during a keyboard solo

• Volume of each Voice to be used

Master Volume Setting

Roughly speaking, the [VOLUME] slider should be set between 5 and 7 for playing

accompaniment and to 8 or 9 when you need to play louder. If set too high, your sound

may become distorted; if too low, any background noise will be more noticeable.

Sound Boost (page 37) Setting

Turn on the Sound Boost function if you are finding it difficult to make your instrument

heard within the overall mix. Choose from three different Sound Boost types.

Master EQ (page 38) Setting

The Master EQ function may help in making the optimum sound for performing live.

Balance the overall sound of the band.

After the levels of the various instruments have been set, the PA operator will have

everyone play together in order to balance the overall sound of the band. At this time,

you should listen to the nearest monitor speaker and ensure that you can hear

everything you need to in order to play well. If, for example, you cannot hear your own

sound, the singer, or another instrument well enough, ask the PA operator to raise the

corresponding level in your monitor’s mix.

This completes the setup process. You should now be ready to play live.

Lock the front panel to prevent mistakes.

Your instrument’s Panel Lock function allows you to temporarily disable front

panel buttons to prevent them being operated unintentionally while performing.

For details on this function, refer to page 40.

Scale Tune (Setting display) Modern acoustic pianos are tuned almost exclusively in

equal temperament, which divides one octave into

twelve equal intervals. Likewise, this digital piano

employs equal temperament, but it can be changed at

the touch of a button to play in historical temperaments

used in the 16th to 19th centuries.

Equal Refer to the

“Scale Tune List”

below.

Base Note (Setting display) Determines the base note for the Scale selected above.

When the base note is changed, the pitch of the

keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch

relationship between the notes. This setting is

necessary when Scale Tune is set to something other

than “Equal.”

NOTE

When Scale Tune is set to “Equal,” “---” is shown on the

display and this parameter cannot be edited.

Equal (Temperament) One octave is divided into twelve equal intervals. Currently most popular piano tuning scale.

PureMajor/PureMinor Based on natural overtones, three major chords using these scales produce a beautiful, pure sound.

Pythagorean This scale was devised by Pythagoras, the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a series of perfect fifths,

which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tuning is slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and

suitable for some leads.

MeanTone This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the major third interval more “in tune.”

It was especially popular from the 16th century to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale.

Werckmeister/

Kirnberger

These scales combine Mean Tone and Pythagorean in different ways. With these scales, modulation changes the

impression and feel of the Songs. They were often used in the era of Bach and Beethoven. They are also often used now

to reproduce the music of that era on harpsichords.

P-525 Owner’s Manual

When a message is displayed, refer to the “Message List” (page 113) for troubleshooting aid.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

The instrument does not turn

on.

The instrument has not been plugged in properly. Securely connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN jack on the

instrument and to the AC outlet (page 12).

The power is automatically

turned off.

This is normal and due to the Auto Power Off function. If necessary, set the parameter of the Auto Power Off

function (page 13).

The message “USB device

overcurrent error” is shown

and the USB device does not

respond.

Communication with the USB device has been shut down because of the overcurrent to the USB device.

Disconnect the device from the [ ] (USB TO DEVICE) terminal, then turn on the power of the instrument.

Noise is heard from the

speakers or headphones.

The noise may be due to interference caused by the use of a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument.

Turn off the mobile phone, or use it further away from the instrument.

Noise is heard from the

instrument’s speakers or

headphones when using the

instrument with your smart

device, such as an iPhone/

iPad.

When you use the instrument along with your smart device, we recommend that you set that device’s “Airplane

Mode” to “ON” and then the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth setting to “ON” on your smart device in order to avoid noise caused

by communication.

The overall volume is low, or

no sound is heard.

The Master Volume is set too low; set it to an appropriate level using the [VOLUME] slider (page 13).

The volume level for the keyboard performance is set too low. Adjust the volume balance to increase the

keyboard volume via the “Song” menu display: “Volume”  “Song - Keyboard” (page 52).

Headphones are connected when the Speaker setting is “Normal” (page 106). Disconnect the headphone plug.

The Speaker setting is “Off.” Set the Speaker to “Normal” or “On” via the “System” menu display: “Utility” 

“Speaker” (page 106).

Local Control is “Off.” Set Local Control “On” via the “System” menu display: “MIDI”  “Local Control”

(page 105).

The speakers do not switch

off when a pair of

headphones is connected to

the [PHONES] jack.

The Speaker setting is “On.” Set the speaker setting to “Normal” via the “System” menu display: “Utility” 

“Speaker” (page 106).

Pedals do not function. The pedal cord may not be securely connected to the [PEDAL UNIT] jack. Be sure to insert the pedal cord all the

way until the metal part of the cord plug disappears from view.

The on/off setting of the pedal

connected to the AUX PEDAL

jack is reversed.

Some types of pedals may turn on and off in opposite fashion. Set to the appropriate parameter via the “System”

menu display: “Pedal”  “Aux Polarity” (page 104).

The keyboard volume is

lower than the Song playback

volume.

The volume level for the keyboard performance is set too low. Adjust the volume balance to increase the

keyboard volume via the “Song” menu display: “Volume”  “Song - Keyboard” (page 52).

The buttons do not respond. While you are using a function, some buttons not used for the function are disabled. If the Song is playing, stop

playback. Otherwise, press the [EXIT] button to return to the Voice or Song display, Then, perform the desired

operation.

Higher or lower notes do not

sound correctly when the

transpose or octave setting is

made.

This instrument can cover the range of C -2 – G8 when you set the transposition or octave. If notes lower than

C -2 are played, the sound is moved one octave higher. If notes higher than G8 are played, the sound is moved

one octave lower.

Performance in Dual/Split/

Duo mode is not recorded, or

part data is lost

unexpectedly.

Switching to Dual/Split/Duo mode in the middle of the Song is not recorded. Also, the recording part for the Voice

2 (Dual mode) or the left Voice (Split/Duo mode) is automatically assigned (page 57). If the assigned part

already has data, the data will be overwritten and deleted when you record.

Depending on the selected

Voice, the keyboard sound in

Duo mode may be output

from only one speaker.

This is because the default pan setting differs depending on the Voice.

Change the settings from the “Voice” menu  “Voice Edit”  “Voice name”  “Pan” (page 96).

Appendix

116 P-525 Owner’s Manual

*For information on whether Bluetooth functionality is included or not, refer to page 80.

The Song title is not correct. The “Language” setting may be different than that is selected when you named the Song. Also, if the Song was

recorded on another instrument, the title might be displayed incorrectly. Set the “Language” parameter

(page 107) via the “System” menu display: “Utility”  “Language”  “Song” to change the setting. However, if

the Song was recorded on another instrument, changing the “Language” parameter setting may not resolve the

problem.

Menu display cannot be

called up.

When Song is being played back, menu display other than “Voice” menu and “Song” menu will not appear. Stop

the Song by pressing the [PLAY/PAUSE] button. Also, in the recording ready mode, only “Recording” menu

smart device cannot be

paired with nor connected to

the instrument.

Check the Bluetooth function of the smart device is activated. To connect the smart device and the instrument

via Bluetooth, both devices need to be functional.

The smart device and the instrument need to be paired to connect each other via Bluetooth (page 79).

In case there is a device (microwave oven, wireless LAN device, etc.) that outputs signals in the 2.4 GHz

frequency band nearby, move this instrument away from the device that is emitting radio-frequency signals.

Sound input via the [AUX IN]

jack or Bluetooth is

interrupted.

The Noise Gate function of this instrument cuts unwanted noise from the input sound. However, this may result in

wanted sounds also being cut, such as the soft decay sound of a piano. This is normal and not a sign of

malfunction.
