Getting Ready to Play

Preparing the Music Stand

Music stand

Power Supply

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

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

Household power outlet

(JEITA Standard plug)

DC 9.5V

AC adaptor

• Configuration and type depend on your geographic location.

Using Batteries

• Be sure to turn off power before loading batteries.

• It is up to you to prepare six commercially available 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.

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 bn (TONE), turn on power.

Auto Power Off will be disabled.

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.

PHONES/OUTPUT jack

• Headphones do not come with the Digital Keyboard.

• Use commercially available headphones. See page E-3 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.

Changing Keyboard Response to Touch Pressure (Touch Response)

Touch Response alters tone volume in accordance with keyboard pressure (speed). This provides you some of the same expressivity you get on an acoustic piano.

Pressing fast produces louder notes.

Pressing slowly produces softer notes.

Do not try to use too much pressure.

Changing Touch Response Sensitivity

Use the procedure below to control how much the volume of played notes change in accordance with playing speed. Select the setting that best matches your playing style.

Press ct (FUNCTION) and then use the br (10-key) [4] (o) and [6] (p) keys to display “Touch” (page E-7).

Fine Tuning (Tuning)

Use the tuning feature when you need to adjust the pitch slightly to play along with another musical instrument. Also, some artists perform their music with slightly altered tuning. You can use the tuning feature to adjust tuning so it exactly matches a performance on a CD.

• The tuning feature specifies the frequency of the A4 note. You can set a frequency within the range of 415.5 to

465.9 Hz. The initial default setting is 440.0 Hz.

Octave Shift

Octave Shift lets you raise or lower the pitch of the keyboard notes in octave units.

• The octave shift setting range is –2 to +2 octaves.

Keep pressing cp until the screen shown below appears on the display.

If you want to use Split, turn on Split before pressing cp.

Using the Pitch Bend Wheel to Shift the Pitch of Notes

You can use the pitch bend wheel to slide the pitch of notes smoothly upwards and downwards. This technique makes it possible to produce effects that are similar to sounds produced when bending notes on a saxophone or electric guitar.

To play with the pitch bend wheel

While playing a note on the keyboard, rotate the pitch bend wheel on the left of the keyboard upwards or downwards.

The amount the note bends depends on how much you rotate the pitch bend wheel.

• Do not have the pitch bend wheel rotated as you turn on the Digital Keyboard.

Specifying the Pitch Bend Range

Use the following procedure to specify how much the pitch of the note changes whenever the pitch bend wheel is rotated upwards or downwards. You can specify a range from 0 to 12 semitones (one octave).

Press ct (FUNCTION) and then use the br (10-key) [4] (o) and [6] (p) keys to display “OTHER” (page E-7).

Sampling Sounds and Playing Them on the Digital Keyboard

You can sample a sound from a portable audio player or other device, and then play the sound on the keyboard. You can sample and use passages from a CD. The sampling feature is a great way to create new sounds that are highly creative.

Connection and Preparation

• Before connecting, make sure that this Digital Keyboard, as well as the external device being connected, are all turned off.

Connect an external device to the Digital Keyboard.

If this happens, deleting other memory data you no longer need will free up memory space and you should be able to sample for 10 seconds. See “Deleting a Sampled Sound” on page E-25 for more information.
