Getting Ready to Play

Using Batteries

Preparing the Music Stand

Music stand

• Do not try to place a smart device on the Digital Keyboard’s
music stand. Doing so can cause the device to fall and
become damaged, or can scratch flooring.

Power Supply

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

• Depending on your geographical area, an AC adaptor may
not be included. In this case, will need to purchase an AC
adaptor from your retailer.

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)

AC adaptor DC 9.5V terminal

• 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.

1.

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

2.

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.

3.

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

■ 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.

Low battery indicator
(flashes)

English

Household power outlet

• 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.

EN-7

(except for Tuning, LCD Contrast, and Auto Power Off) to
return to their initial defaults.

Playing the Demo Songs

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 the plug of the headphones you are using does not match
the dp PHONES/OUTPUT jack, use the applicable
commercially available adaptor plug.

• If you are using headphones that require an adaptor plug,

Linking with an Application
(APP Function)

APP Function

Your Digital Keyboard can connect with a smartphone, tablet,
or other smart device, which can then use a special app to
playback songs from other than Digital Keyboard memory.
You can play along with song playback on the keyboard.

The APP function has two modes, described below.

■ Play Mode

When a song is played by the app, notes and chord names
appear on the Digital Keyboard’s display. You can play along
with a song on the keyboard while viewing information about
which keyboard keys should be pressed on the app screen. In
this mode, sounds played by the app itself will sound through
the Digital Keyboard’s speakers, so sounds will be different
from those of the Digital Keyboard.

■ Store Mode

You can transfer a song from the app to the Digital Keyboard
and store it as a user song.
A stored song can be played back as you play along on the
keyboard, or used in a Step Up Lesson. Phrase Lesson is not
possible.

• Do not send APP function data from the app while the APP
function of the Digital Keyboard is not enabled.

• The sound of data transferred from the Digital Keyboard
may be audible under the conditions below.

– When using the APP function while the APP indicator is

not shown on the display
– When app instrument connection is enabled
– When transferring song data in the Save Mode

• Since the Play Mode and Store Mode have their own
characteristics, using the same song in both modes will not
result in the same performance.

Linking with an Application (APP Function)

Preparing the APP Function for
Use

You need to perform the steps below to prepare the APP
function for use in either the Play Mode or the Store Mode.

1.

Use a commercially available audio cable to
connect the dn AUDIO IN jack of the Digital
Keyboard to the headphones jack of the smart
device.

• Do not use an audio cable that adds resistance.

2.

Press bs APP.

This will cause the APP indicator to appear on the Digital
Keyboard’s display to indicate that the APP function is
enabled.

3.

On the smart device, start up the app.

Using the App in the Play Mode

1.

Prepare the APP function for use (page EN-20).

2.

This enables app instrument connection.

3.

From the song list in the app, select a song and
play it.

The song will sound from the Digital Keyboard’s
speakers.
Chord information will appear on the Digital Keyboard
display.
Play along with the song on the keyboard.

• During song play, the same notes will sound from the left
and right speakers.

Using the App in the Store Mode

1.

Prepare the APP function for use (page EN-20).

2.

Use bq (10-key) [–] and [+] keys to select the song
bank number where you want the song transferred
from the app to be stored.

If you do not select a song bank number here, the Digital
Keyboard will select an available storage location
automatically, so you can skip this step if you do not
need to specify a particular song bank number.

• You can select one of the user song bank numbers to store a
transferred song.

• The tempo area of the Digital Keyboard’s display shows
how much user song memory has been used, while the
measure area shows how much free memory is available.

3.

From the song list in the app, select a song and
transfer it.

After data transfer and storage are complete, the APP
indicator will disappear from the display and the song
bank screen will appear.

• If the song bank number already contains data, the message
“Replace?” will appear asking if you want to overwrite the
existing data with the new data. Press the [+] (Yes) button
to overwrite the existing data or the [–] (No) button if you
do not want to overwrite.

• Normally, up to 30 songs transferred from a smart device
can be stored in the song bank user song area.

• Storing songs that consist of large volumes of data may
cause memory to become full before 30 songs are stored.

• The time it takes transfer a song depends on the size of the
song. Transfer of most songs should take anywhere from
around 10 to 30 seconds.

• Changes in app specifications may result in changes in the
app’s operational procedures. For details about the
operation, see the app user documentation.

Keyboard Channel

This parameter specifies the channel to be used when
keyboard performance information is sent from this Digital
Keyboard to a computer. For details about how to configure
this setting, see “Using the FUNCTION Button (3)” (page
EN-4).

Navigate Channels

This parameter can be used to display only the notes of
particular channels (parts) as on-screen guide information
from among the performance information sent from a
computer. These channels are called navigate channels.
From among the 16 available channels (numbered 01 to 16),
any two neighboring channels (such as 05 and 06) can be
specified as navigate channels.
For details about how to configure this setting, see “Using the
FUNCTION Button (3)” (page EN-4).

You can turn off the sound on one or both of the navigate
channels and play the cancelled part on the keyboard
yourself.

• With Fingered 3, the lowest note fingered is interpreted as
the base note. Inverted forms are not supported.

• With Full Range Chord, when the lowest note fingered is a
certain distance from the neighboring note, the chord is
interpreted as a fraction chord.

• Unlike Fingered 1, 2, and 3, Full Range Chord requires
pressing of at least three keys to form a chord.

• Con Fingered 3, la nota más baja digitada se interpreta
como nota base. No se pueden usar formas invertidas.

• Con Full Range Chord, cuando la nota digitada más baja se
encuentre a cierta distancia de la nota adyacente, el acorde
se interpreta como un acorde bitonal.

• A diferencia de Fingered 1, 2, y 3, Full Range Chord
requiere la pulsación de tres teclas como mínimo para
formar un acorde.
