CONGRATULATIONS!
Congratulations and thanks for purchasing Baldwin’s Pianovelle PS1500. This instrument provides
high quality sounds and accompaniments, and a simple user interface with a 2x40 LCD backlit display
which allows total control of all performance and programming activities.
MULTIMEDIA FACILITIES
PS1500 is a multimedia piano workstation which offers several ways of interfacing with the instrument.
With the optional Audio/Video Interface, a guitar player can connect to the Mic/Line inputs of the PS1500
and mix his sounds with those of the workstation (complete with effects processing). At the same time,
a group of singers can follow the lyrics projected on a television (or other video projection device) by the
PS1500.
THE OWNER’S MANUAL
The Owner’s Manual is supplied as a 3-ring binder with instructions inserted inside.
How to use the manual
Do not use it as a paperweight: read it. If you understand how PS1500 operates, you can save a lot of
time. You are encouraged to experiment with alternative operating methods: the PS1500 is sufficiently
flexible to permit several choices to obtain the same results. The User Guide offers information on three
different levels of complexity: as numbered images or pictures, as brief instructions and as detailed
instructions. You can limit yourself to following the images only, or by reading the bold black type, or by
referring to the normal text containing detailed instructions.
The second part of the manual contains the Reference Guides which describe all the instrument’s
functions in detail without discussing procedures. Experienced users can limit themselves to the Refer-
ence chapters.
At the end of the manual is the Appendix containing tables, midi specs, a Glossary and an Index.
