You will find the POWER SWITCH at the right end of the front panel.
Press this button to turn on the power. Pressing it again will turn off the
power.
(2) Adjust the volume.
Play a note on the keyboard and adjust the volume (Moving the slider to
the right raises the volume while moving to the left lowers it.)

Pressing a SOUND button selects the assigned sound category and the
LED for that SOUND button will light. Pressing the SOUND button again

(5) Dual
Another feature of the CP piano is the ability to layer two preset sounds
together to create a more complex sound. For example, piano layered
with strings, e. piano with bass sound, and so on.
To layer two sounds, first select a variation for each sound category
seperately using the SOUND buttons and VALUE buttons. Then press
those two SOUND buttons simultaneously. The LED indicators for both
SOUND buttons will be turned on to indicate your sound selections
You can adjust the volume balance between the two sounds. Use the Dual/
Split/Rhythm Balance slider to adjust the balance. Move the slider to
the right to increase the volume of the rightmost preset sound and decrease
the volume of the leftmost preset sound. The balance changes in the
opposite way when the slider is moved to the left.
