Power Supply

Either an AC adaptor or batteries can be used to power this Digital Keyboard. Normally, use of AC adaptor power is recommended.

• The AC adaptor does not come with this Digital Keyboard. Purchase it separately from your retailer. See page EN-1 for information about options.

Using the AC Adaptor

Make sure that you use only the AC adaptor specified for this Digital Keyboard. Use of a different type of AC adaptor can cause malfunction.

Specified AC Adaptor: AD-E95100L

(JEITA Standard plug)

Household power outlet DC 9.5V terminal

AC adaptor

Using Batteries

• Be sure to turn off power before loading batteries.

• It is up to you to prepare six commercially available AA-size batteries. Do not use oxyride batteries or any other nickel based batteries.

Open the battery cover on the bottom of the Digital Keyboard.

Load six AA-size batteries into the battery compartment.

Make sure the positive + and negative - ends of the batteries are facing as shown in the illustration.

Insert the tabs of the battery cover into the holes on the side of the battery compartment, and close the cover.

Tabs

English

• Be sure to turn off Digital Keyboard power before connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.

• The AC adaptor will become warm to the touch after very long use. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

• To prevent breaking of the wire, take care to avoid putting any type of load on the power cord.

No bending! No winding!

• Never insert metal, pencils, or any other objects into the product’s 9.5V DC terminal. Doing so creates the risk of accident.

■ Low Battery Indication

The indicator shown below starts to flash to let you know when battery power is low. Replace the batteries with new ones.

Using Headphones

Using headphones cuts off output from the built-in speakers, which means you can practice playing even late at night without disturbing others.

• Be sure to turn down the volume level before connecting headphones.

• Headphones do not come with the Digital Keyboard.

• Use commercially available headphones. See page EN-1 for information about options.

• Do not listen to very high volume output over headphones for long period. Doing so creates the risk of hearing damage.

• If you are using headphones that require an adaptor plug, make sure you do not leave the adaptor plugged in when removing the headphones.

Auto Power Off

If you do not perform any operation on the Digital Keyboard for one of the trigger times noted below, Auto Power Off will turn off power.

During battery operation : 6 minutes During AC adaptor operation: 30 minutes

■ Disabling Auto Power Off

You can disable Auto Power Off to ensure that power is not turned off automatically during a concert, etc.

While holding down bm (TONE), turn on power.

Auto Power Off will be disabled.

You can use the digital keyboard’s built-in microphone to record a sound and then play it with the keyboard keys. The sampling feature is a great way to create your own original sounds.

Playing the SAMPLING DEMO

Use the procedure below to play a demo tune that features sampled sounds.

Hold down bm (SAMPLING DEMO).

This starts playback.

To stop demo play, press bm or bk.

• Sampled sounds are recorded in monaural.

• The built-in microphone is only for inputting and recording external sounds for use with the sampling function. Sounds input with the built-in microphone are not output through the speakers.

• You cannot sample sounds input through the AUDIO IN jack.

Sampling a Sound and Playing It

There are two sampling methods: long sampling and short sampling. Long sampling is used for sampling in the Song Bank Mode, while short sampling is use for sampling in the Rhythm Mode.

■ Long Sampling

This method allows sampling of a single sound with a duration of two seconds.

• Sampling a new sound overwrites all previously recorded data (including data recorded with short sampling).

Press bo (SONG BANK).

Press cq (SAMPLING) and release it.

This enters sampling standby.

• At this time tone number 412 (which is short sampling 1 tone) is selected.

Samp l i n g

• Sampling will not start if the volume level of the sound being sampled with the microphone is too low.

• Sampling will stop automatically two seconds after it starts, or if the sound being input through the microphone stops before then.

Flashes

• Random phrases using the sampled sound will play back to indicate that sampling is complete.

• What you sample is stored as tone number 401.

Press a keyboard key.

This will play the recorded sound.

■ Short Sampling

With short sampling, you can record up to five samples, each with a length of up to approximately 0.4 seconds. Short samples are assigned rhythm parts, and can be sounded as voice percussion. For details, see “Using a Sampled Sound in a Rhythm (VOICE PERCUSSION)” (page EN-15).

• Sampling a new sound overwrites all previously recorded data (including data recorded with long sampling).
