Pedal Setup: 

Use the following sequence to setup the pedals. Note that the standard configuration 

includes a soft pedal and a sustain pedal. The Sostenuto sensor is optional. If used, this pedal adjusts in the 
same way. 

1.  Press and hold the “Pedal Adj” button. 

2.  While holding the “

Pedal Adj

” button, press and hold the "

Function

" button.  

3.  Hold both buttons until the "Pedal Adj" button starts flashing, then release both buttons.  



The system is now in pedal setup mode and all previous pedal values in memory have been erased. 

4.  Firmly press the sustain pedal fully down and hold. Watch the "Function" button for a quick green flash 

and then release the pedal. 

5.  Firmly press the soft pedal fully down and hold. Watch for a quick green flash then release the pedal. 

Be sure you see the quick flash for both pedals. If you do not see this flash exit setup by pressing 

the Pedal Adjust button and then reenter pedal setup mode and start again. 

6.  Return to the sustain pedal and slowly start pressing the pedal down. As the pedal moves down you 

will see the Function button start to flash.  

Hold this pedal position.

 



This indicates you are in the range of a acceptable trigger point. At any point in the pedals position, 
while the green light is flashing, pressing the "Pedal Adj" button will set that pedal position as the point 
where midi sustain event will occur. Typically this point should be at the same exact point where the 
actual dampers start to lift. 

7. Press 

"

Pedal Adj

" one more time to save the settings and exit adjust mode. 

8.  Release the pedal, the setup procedure  is complete. 

Keyboard Setup: 

To make the setup process easier, connect the MIDI Output of PNOscan II to a soundcard 

equipped QRS Pianomation controller or to a MIDI sound module. As you depress each piano key during 
setup you will need to hold the key down until the system accepts the key's down position. To indicate the 
position has been accepted, the PNOscan II system outputs a midi note. Alternately if you don't have a MIDI 
device connected, you can reference the green light on the Function button. Each time a key position is 
accepted this button will light.  

1.  Press and hold the “Key Adj“ button. 

2.  While holding the “

Key Adj

” button, press and hold the “

Function

” button.  

3.  Hold both buttons in until the 'Key Adj" light flashes, release both buttons, wait for rapid flash to stop. 



The system is now in keyboard adjust mode and all previous key calibration values in memory have been 
erased.  

4.  Once in the setup mode, start with key # 1, pressing the key firmly through its entire travel. Hold the key 

down until you either hear the note play through the speaker or until the Function button lights 
momentarily.  

It is very important that you hold the key down until it is accepted as a position. This is normally 

instantaneous but sometimes takes a couple of seconds. 

5.  Repeat this process for each key until all 88 notes have been accepted.  



After this process no further action is required from the user and the keyboard setup is complete.
