1 Introduction Thank you for purchasing the GEM pRP7 , the new portable Digital Piano belonging to the prestigious Real Piano Series by Generalmusic. The new portable pRP7 Digital Piano features an 88 note, weighted Hammer Action keyboard, 32 note polyphony and 48 Presets including 10 exclusive Piano sounds.
2 Front and rear panel Front Panel 1. V OLUME : Slider that controls the main volume of the instrument. 2 . T RANSPOS E i / g Increases ( g ) or decreases ( i ) the overall pitch of the instrument in half-step (semitone) increments.

Midi In allows the sounds of the pRP7 to be played by an external controlling device e.g. a controller keyboard or a sequencer. Midi Out sends MIDI information from the pRP7 to other MIDI external equipment.
5 Playing the pRP7 Connect the audio cables The pRP7 does not incorporate an internal amplification system, there- fore you must either play using headphones or connect to a suitable external amplification system. Connect the audio outputs to your amp.
6 Play using the Pitch/Modulation Joystick While you play, you can apply Pitch Bend and Modulation to the Preset sounds by using the Pitch/Modulation Joystick located on the extreme left of the control panel. • To obtain Pitch Bend , move the Joystick Up or Down.
7 Listen to the Demo songs The pRP7 contains a selection of demonstration recordings of the internal sounds. 1. Press both the [ – ] and [ + ] buttons of the SOUND VARIATIONS buttons at the same time. The LEDs of the SELECTION section start to flash.
8 The pRP7 Presets The pRP7 contains 48 Internal Presets, consisting of Single, Split and Layered sound combinations. Each sound combination also recalls the volume levels, a configuration of effects (Reverb and Delay/Modula- tions) together with relative effect send levels The Presets are organized in the SELECTION section.
9 Preset selection 1. After turning the pRP7 on, press one of the SELECTION buttons. In this example, we press the PIANO button. You will recall the first Preset, “Grand Piano”, which plays across the entire keyboard. The display will show “P1” for an instant before returning to the Tempo setting.
10 The CONTROL section Realtime operations The pRP7 operating system has been conceived to permit several simple and quick real time operations using the buttons of the CON- TROL section. Activate Split mode Starting from the Single Preset “GrandPiano”, you can easily split the keyboard by pressing the SPLIT button.
11 Activate Layer mode To mix or “layer” two sounds together, simply press the LAYER button. After pressing the LAYER button (the LED turns on), a second sound is activated layered with the first (in this case, Strings is added to the GrandPiano sound).
12 Change the V olume Balance between two sounds If you are playing either in Layer or Split mode, you can regulate the volume of the two sections in real time using the BALANCE buttons. These buttons regulate the volume of one section with respect to the other, creating a perfect balance between the two sections according to your requirements.
13 T ranspose Pressing either TRANSPOSE button will adjust the pitch of the instru- ment in half-step (semitone) increments or decrements, through the overall range of –/+ 12 semitones. When both LEDs are off, the pitch of the instrument is set to normal (Equal: C = C).
14 T ouch The pRP7 offers three different keyboard responses, or “velocity curves”, which affect the instrument as a whole. When you turn on the instrument for the first time, the “NORMAL” curve will be shown set, indicated by the LED in correspondence to the NORMAL setting of the TOUCH button.
15 The Functions of the pRP7 pRP7 features 4 functions which affect the instrument in various ways. The Functions are activated using the last 4 notes of the highest octave of the keyboard. To activate a function and modify its value, hold down the corresponding key and press the TEMPO/DATA +/– buttons.
16 T une The TUNE function allows you fine tune the instrument. The default status of the instrument corresponds the equal standard A = 440 Hz, shown in the display as the setting “00”. The TUNE value has a range of ± 63, corresponding to an excursion of approximately one semitone.
17 MIDI Channel pRP7 is able to transmit MIDI messages on up to three channels at the same time, depending on the type of Preset recalled (single, layer or split).
18 Midi Local If you are using your pRP7 via MIDI as a controlling device connected to an external sound generator (expander, keyboard, etc.), when you play, you will hear the expander’s sounds together with the pRP7 Sounds.
19 Midi Common channel The Common channel is a special channel that allows you to control other MIDI devices that have automatic arrangements. The Midi Common function does not play a reference note during the setting operation. 1 Press and hold the MIDI Common function key (C8) and press the TEMPO/ DATA + button to set the Common channel to ON.
