# The layered sounds cannot be saved. Turning off the MARK PRO ONE i or selecting another sounds will erase the previous layering.

2. Layering Example

The most often used layering techniques are mixing two sounds (Piano with Strings or Pads) each with fast attack and slow attack for richer and punchier sounds, or layering a few similar sounding programs (Brasses, Strings, Analog Synths, etc.) to fatten the sounds. Also, mixing pitched and non-pitched instruments together can be very interesting. Most of all, experiment and enjoy! It is all about your taste. You can adjust the volume balance between the primary voice and the layered voice. The MARK PRO ONE i has the volume range from 0 to 127. Adjust the volume level of the layered sound by pressing one of the C5 ~ E5 keys while holding down the [Layer] button. The D5 key sets the volume level to 100, which is the default. Pressing the C#5 key increases the volume level by 1 and the D#5 key decreases the volume level by 1. The two adjacent keys, the C5 and D5 adjust the wet/dry mix by +,-5%. Use the C#7 and D#7 keys for more precise control.
# The default volume levels for the primary sound and the layered sound are 127 and 100.

1. Touch
You can adjust how sensitively the keyboard responses to your playing - how the dynamics of the sounds respond to key velocity. By default, a value of Linear is the standard, unaltered level of keyboard sensitivity. Values of Light1 - Light3 are for players who prefer a light touch. You can play more lightly and still get the same attack-velocity values with these settings. The sensitivity level increases as the numeric number suggests. Values of Hard1 - Hard3 are for players who have a heavier touch. You should play harder to get the same attack-velocity values. Also, the numeric number suggests the sensitivity level. Linear is less sensitive than Light1 and more sensitive than Hard1. The MARK PRO ONE i has 7 levels of the touch sensitivity. Select the appropriate level for you by pressing one of the C2 ~ F#2 keys while holding down the [Function] button.

2. Tune
You can finely tune the pitch of the MARK PRO Key Tune ONE i up or down. This function is useful when C1 -5 you play the RE-110 along with other instrument C#1 -1 that cant be easily retuned. DD#1 +1 While holding down the [Function] button, press E1 +5 the C#1 or D#1 key to adjust the pitch by steps of 1 cent. The C1 or E1 key adjust the pitch in steps of 5 cents. The tuning range is 64 cents flat to 64 cents sharp. Because the MARK PRO ONE i does not display the tuned pitch numerically, you should memorize the setting when you use this function.

C#1 [-1] D#1 [+1]

C1 [-5] D1 [0]

3. Transpose
Transpose allows you to play the keyboard in one key and have the notes sound in another key. This is useful when accompanying singing, if the key of the written music is too high or too low for the singer, or when playing music written for a transposing instrument, such as a clarinet. The transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to six semitones. While holding down the Function button, press one of the F#3 ~ F#4 keys to set the desired amount of transposition.

4. Local Control
Local Control is the connection between the keyboard of the MARK PRO ONE i and the internal sound producing circuitry of the instrument. Normally, Local Control is ON; in fact, every time you power-up the MARK PRO ONE i, it automatically sets to Local Control ON, so you can play the keyboard and hear the sounds of the instrument. But, there are reasons for setting Local Control to OFF especially when MIDI Out of the MARK PRO ONE i is connected to feed back to the instrument's MIDI In port. One example of this is when using an external sequencer whose MIDI In port is connected to MIDI Out of the MARK PRO ONE i and whose MIDI Out port is connected to MIDI In of the MARK PRO ONE i. In such a case, you can eliminate the doubling of Key Local Control notes by setting Local Control to OFF.

C5 ON(Default) OFF

While holding down the Function button, press the key C5 or C#5 to set Local Control. See Page 22 for more about your MARK PRO ONE i's MIDI features

If you want to use the metronome while performing, activate the metronome before you put the MARK PRO ONE i in record-ready mode. For more information about the metronome, see page 20.
Recording a new performance will erase the previously recorded performance. You cannot record your performance with the internal rhythm pattern either.

1. Play and Stop

Press the [Play / Stop] button to start playback or to stop it. When the MARK PRO ONE i is in the recording mode, pressing the [Play / Stop] button will start or stop playback.
Record the harmony parts first, and play the melody part with different voices, or percussion voices. You can have real fun.

Pedals

SUSTAIN PEDAL
The sustain pedal (rightmost pedal) functions in the same way as the damper pedal of an acoustic piano. When the sustain pedal is pressed, notes continue to play after their keys have been released. Releasing the pedal will silence the sustained notes.

Soft Sostenuto Sustain

SOSTENUTO PEDAL
If you play a note on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while the notes are held, those notes will still sustain as long as you hold the pedal. But all subsequently played notes will not be sustained.

SOFT PEDAL

The soft pedal reduces the volume while the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing when it pressed.

MIDI (Musical Interface Digital Interface) is an industry-standard protocol for electronic musical instruments to communicate with each other. MIDI data does not contain any audio signal. It carries digital performance data such as the pitch, note velocity, control signals, etc. For more information about your MARK PRO ONE is MIDI features, see the MIDI Implementation chart on page 25.

1. USB MIDI Connection

The MARK PRO ONE i has a single USB port on its rear panel. - The MIDI In port is for receiving MIDI data from another digital instruments equipped with MIDI Out port. - The MIDI Out port is for transmitting MIDI data that the SP2 generates to another digital instruments equipped with MIDI In port. Without a MIDI interface, the MARK PRO ONE i can be connected to a computer via USB. A single USB cable can carry incoming and outgoing MIDI data between the MARK PRO ONE i and a computer.
USB is the abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus, which is a serial bus standard to interface devices. The MARK PRO ONE i support Plug and Play feature of Windows XP. So, you dont even need to install any additional driver.

MARK-Pro ONE i

You can also use the MARK PRO ONE is MIDI feature to record and play your music with computer based sequencer programs. When you record your performance into the memory of the MARK PRO ONE i , you are actually recording MIDI data, which does not contain any audio signal but the digitized performance data. You can do that with any of the computer based sequencer programs with several more advantages such as unlimited memory and flexible editing feature. You can connect the MARK PRO ONE i to a personal computer as illustrated in the diagram below.

Computer

MARK PRO ONE i

2. MIDI Channel

The MIDI protocol can transmit multiple channels of performance data. In other words, you can even playback musical pieces performed by multiple instruments. Typical MIDI instruments can play up to 16 channels at the same time which equal 16 soloists!
If you want to use the MARK PRO ONE i with a computer via USB, a sequencer program must have been installed on your computer.

1. HEADPHONES

A headphone jack allows private practice. Plugging in a pair headphones turns off the speakers. You can also insert a "dummy" stereo headphone adapter. This is useful if you want to mute the internal speaker system while using a more powerful external amplification system connected to Audio out jack. There are two identical headphone jacks on the MARK PRO ONE i.

2. AUDIO IN JACK

The Audio In jacks allow you to play along with a tape, CD player or to have an external tone module connected to the MARK PRO ONE i audio system. It is best to use a tone module, tape or CD player that has its own output volume control because the volume control of the MARK PRO ONE i does not affect the signal coming from the Audio In jacks.
