Audio Equipment (Figure
Connect the keyboard to a audio equipment using a commercially
available connecting cord with a standard plug on one end and two
PIN plugs on the other end. Note that the standard plug you connect
to the keyboard must be a stereo plug, otherwise you will be able to
output only one of stereo channels. In this configuration, you normally set the input selector of the audio equipment to the terminal
(usually marked AUX IN or something similar) where the cord from
the keyboard is connected. See the user documentation that comes
with your audio equipment for full details.
Musical Instrument Amplifier (Figure
Use a commercially available connecting cord to connect the keyboard
to a musical instrument amplifier.
❚
NOTE
Be sure to use a connecting cord that has a stereo standard plug on the
end you connect to the keyboard, and a connector that provides dual channel (left and right) input to the amplifier to which you are connecting. The
wrong type of connector at either end can cause one of the stereo channels to be lost.
When connected to a musical instrument amplifier, set the volume of
the keyboard to a relatively low level and make output volume adjustments using the amplifier’s controls.

Auto Power Off
When you are using battery power, keyboard power turns off automatically whenever you leave it on without performing any operation for about 6 minutes. When this happens, press the POWER button to turn power back on.
❚
NOTE
❚
Auto Power Off is disabled (it does not function) when you are using the
AC adaptor to power the keyboard.
To disable Auto Power Off
Hold down the TONE button while turning on the keyboard to disable Auto Power Off.
• When this function is turned off, the keyboard does not turn off
automatically no matter how long it is left with no operation being
performed.
• Auto Power Off is enabled again when you manually turn off power
and then turn it back on again.
Settings and Memory Contents
Settings
Tone, rhythm, and other “main keyboard settings” in effect when
power is turned off manually with the POWER button or automatically by Auto Power Off remain in effect when you next turn power
back on.
Main Keyboard Settings
Main keyboard settings are: tone number, layer, split, split
point, touch response, rhythm number, tempo, accompaniment volume, General MIDI mode on/off, accomp MIDI
OUT on/off, Assignable jack setting, keyboard channel, and
tune number.
Memory Contents
In addition to the above settings, data stored using the memory function is also retained.
Electrical Power
The settings and memory data described above are retained as long
as the keyboard is being supplied with electrical power. Unplugging
the AC adaptor when batteries are not loaded or when loaded batteries are dead cuts off the keyboard’s electrical power supply. This causes all settings to be initialized to their factory defaults and clears all
data stored in memory.
Power Requirements
Note the following precautions whenever you want to ensure that
current keyboard settings and memory contents are not lost.
• Make sure the keyboard is being supplied power through the AC
adaptor before replacing its batteries.
• Before unplugging the AC adaptor, make sure that fresh batteries
are loaded in the keyboard.
• Make sure that keyboard power is turned off before replacing batteries or unplugging the AC adaptor.

each keyboard key is assigned a different percussion sound. See page
A-3 for details.
Polyphony
The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes you can
play at the same time. The keyboard has 24-note polyphony, which
includes the notes you play as well as the rhythms and auto-accompaniment patterns that are played by the keyboard. This means that
when a rhythm or auto-accompaniment pattern is being played by
the keyboard, the number of notes (polyphony) available for keyboard play is reduced. Also note that some of the tones offer only 12note polyphony.
• When rhythm or auto accompaniment is playing, the number of
sounds simultaneously played is reduced.
Digital Sampling
A number of the tones that are available with this keyboard have
been recorded and processed using a technique called digital sampling. To ensure a high level of tonal quality, samples are taken in the
low, mid, and high ranges and then combined to provide you with
sounds that are amazingly close to the originals. You may notice very
slight differences in volume or sound quality for some tones when
you play them at different positions on the keyboard. This is an unavoidable result of multiple sampling, and it is not a sign of malfunction.
3. Use the number buttons to input the three digit tone
number for the tone you want to select.
Example: To select “032 ACOUSTIC BASS”, input 0, 3 and then

FULL RANGE CHORD
This accompaniment method provides a total of 38 different chord
types: the 15 chord types available with FINGERED plus 23 additional types. The keyboard interprets any input of three or more keys
that matches a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern to be a chord. Any
other input (that is not a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern) is interpreted as melody play. Because of this, there is no need for a separate
accompaniment keyboard, so the entire keyboard, from end to end,
can be used for both melody and chords.

3-Step Lesson
The 3-step lesson feature takes you through the three distinct steps
described below to help you learn to play tunes on the keyboard.
Step 1 – Master the timing.
In this step, pressing any key on the keyboard plays the correct note,
so you can concentrate on getting the timing right without worrying
about playing the right note. The sub-melody (obbligato) waits until
you press a key before proceeding to the next phrase.
Step 2 – Master the melody.
In this step, you learn the keys to press to play the melody. The keys
you need to press light on the on-screen keyboard guide, so simply
follow along as you learn to play. The sub-melody (obbligato) waits
until your play the correct note, so you can learn at your own pace.
Step 3 – Play a normal speed.
This is where you enjoy actually playing the tunes you learn using
Step 1 and Step 2. The on-screen keyboard guide still shows you which
keyboard keys to press, but accompaniment proceeds at normal speed
regardless of whether or not you play the correct notes.
Tune Types and Their Parts
The built-in tunes of this keyboard are divided between two basic
groups: Auto Accompaniment tunes (Song Bank) and two-hand accompaniment tunes (Etude and Concert Piece). The parts available
for 3-step lesson practice depend on the type of tune you are using.
Auto Accompaniment Tunes (Song Bank)
As their name suggests, these tunes are made up of an Auto Accompaniment part and a melody part. When using these tunes for a 3step lesson, you can practice playing along with the melody (right
hand) part only.
Two-hand Tunes (Etude, Concert Piece)
These types of tunes are played with both hands, as in a piano solo.
When using these tunes for a 3-step lesson, you can practice playing
along with both the left hand and right hand parts.
Display Contents During 3-step Lesson Play
Whenever you select an Auto Accompaniment tune for 3-step lesson
play, the on-screen keyboard guide and staff notation shows the note
you should play and its length. The on-screen keyboard guide also
shows the notes you play on the keyboard. The following describes
the information that appears on the display.
Note Pitch
The key you should press lights on the on-screen keyboard guide,
while the actual pitch of the note appears in the display’s staff notation area. The fingers you should use to play the notes are also shown
on the display.
Note Length
The key stays lit on the on-screen keyboard guide for as long as the
note should be sustained. The staff notation and fingerings also remain on the display for the length of the note.
Next Note
An on-screen keyboard guide key flashes to indicate the next note to
be played, while a number appears on the display near the finger
you should use to play the next note.
Series of Same Pitch Notes
The on-screen keyboard guide key turns off momentarily between
the notes, and lights again for each successive note. The staff notation and fingerings also turn off and back on again.

Keyboard Settings
This section describes how to use layer (to play two tones with a single key) and split (to assign different tones to either end of the keyboard), and how to make touch response, transpose, and tuning settings.
Using Layer
Layer lets you assign two different tones (a main tone and a layeredtone) to the keyboard, both of which play whenever you press a key.For example, you could layer the FRENCH HORN tone on the BRASStone to produce a rich and brassy sound.
To layer tones
1.First select the main tone.
Example:To select “061 BRASS” as the main tone, press the
TONE button and then use the number buttons or [+]
and [–] buttons to input 0, 6 and then 1.
2. Press the LAYER button.
LAYER
SPLIT
Selected layer toneIndicator appears
LAYER
Main Tone (BRASS) + Layered Tone (FRENCH HORN)
Using Split
With split you can assign two different tones (a main tone and a split
tone) to either end of the keyboard, which lets you play one tone
with your left hand and another tone with your right hand. For example, you could select STRINGS as the main (high range) tone and
PIZZICATO as the split (low range) tone, putting an entire string ensemble at your fingertips.
Split also lets you specify the split point, which is the location on the
keyboard where the changeover between the two tones occurs.

With piano tones and other sounds that decay, the pedal acts as a
damper pedal, with sounds being sustained longer when the pedal is
depressed. With organ tones and other continuous sounds, notes
played on the keyboard continue to sound until the pedal is released.
In either case, the sustain effect is also applied to any notes that are
played while the pedal is depressed.

This effect performs the same way as sustain, except that it is applied
only to notes that are sounding already when the pedal is depressed.
It does not affect notes that are played after the pedal is depressed.

Messages
There is a wide variety of messages defined under the MIDI standard, and this section details the particular messages that can be sent
and received by this keyboard. An asterisk is used to mark messages
that affect the entire keyboard. Messages without an asterisk are those
that affect only a particular channel.
NOTE ON/OFF
This message sends data when a key is pressed (NOTE ON) or released (NOTE OFF).
A NOTE ON/OFF message include a note number (to indicate note
whose key is being pressed or released) and velocity (keyboard pressure as a value from 1 to 127). NOTE ON velocity is always used to
determine the relative volume of the note. This keyboard does not
receive NOTE OFF velocity data.
Whenever you press or release a key on this keyboard, the corresponding NOTE ON or NOTE OFF message is sent from the MIDI OUT
terminal.
E-39
❚
NOTE
❚
The pitch of a note depends on the tone that is being used, as shown in
the Note Table on page A-1. Whenever this keyboard receives a note number that is outside its range for that tone, the same tone in the nearest
available octave is substituted.
PROGRAM CHANGE
This is the tone selection message. PROGRAM CHANGE can contain tone data within the range of 0 to 127.
A PROGRAM CHANGE message is sent out through this keyboard’s
MIDI OUT terminal whenever you manually change its tone number. Receipt of a PROGRAM CHANGE message from an external machine changes the tone setting of this keyboard.
❚
NOTE
❚
This keyboard supports 128 tones in the range 0 to 127. However, Channel 10 is a percussion-only channel, and Channels 0, 8, 16, 24, 25, 32, 40,
48, and 62 correspond to the nine drum set sounds of this keyboard.
PITCH BEND
This message carries pitch bend information for smoothly sliding the
pitch upwards or downwards during keyboard play. This keyboard
does not send pitch bend data, but it can receive such data.
CONTROL CHANGE
This message adds effects such as vibrato and volume changes applied during keyboard play. CONTROL CHANGE data includes a
control number (to identify the effect type) and a control value (to
specify the on/off status and depth of the effect).
The following is a list of data that can be send or received using CONTROL CHANGE.
ALL SOUND OFF
This message forces all sound being produced over the current channel to turn off, regardless of how the sound is being produced.
ALL NOTES OFF
This message turns off all note data sent from an external device and
currently being sounded on the channel.
• Any notes being sustained using a sustain pedal or sostenuto pedal continue to sound until the next pedal off.
RESET ALL CONTROLLERS
This messages initializes pitch bend and all other control changes.
SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE*
This message is used to control system exclusives, which are tone
fine adjustments that are unique to a particular machine. Originally,
system exclusives were unique to a particular model, but now there
are also universal system exclusives that are applicable to machines
that are different models and even produced by different manufacturers.
The following are the system exclusive messages supported by this
keyboard.
■
GM SYSTEM ON ([F0][7E][7F][09][01][F7
GM SYSTEM ON is used by an external machine to turn on this keyboard’s GM system. GM stands for General MIDI.
• GM SYSTEM ON takes more time to process than other messages,
so when GM SYSTEM ON is stored in the sequencer it can take
more than 100msec until the next message.
