About General MIDI
General MIDI standardizes MIDI data for all sound source types, regardless of manufacturer. General MIDI
specifies such factors as tone numbering, drum sounds, and available MIDI channels for all sound sources.
This standard makes it possible for all MIDI equipment to reproduce the same nuances when playing
General MIDI data, regardless of the manufacturer of the sound source.
This keyboard supports General MIDI, so it can be used to play commercially available pre-recorded
General MIDI data and General MIDI data send to it from a personal computer.
The power supply circuit generates five voltages as shown in the following table. VDD voltage is always
generated. The others are controlled by APO signal from the CPU.

RESET CIRCUIT
When batteries are set or an AC adapter is connected, the reset IC provides a low pulse to the CPU. The
CPU then initializes its internal circuit, and clears the working storage RAM.
When the power switch is pressed, the CPU receives a low pulse of POWER signal. The CPU sends APO
signal to the power supply circuit, also sends a reset signal to the DSP.

LSI2
CPU (LSI1: GT913F-(T))
The 16-bit CPU contains a 1k-byte RAM, three 8-bit I/O ports, two timers, a key controller and serial interfaces.
The CPU detects key velocity by counting the time between first-key input signal FI and second-key SI from
the keyboard. The CPU reads sound data and velocity data from the sound source ROM in accordance with
the selected tone; the CPU can read rhythm data simultaneously when a rhythm pattern is selected. Then the
CPU provides 16-bit serial sound data to the DSP. The CPU also controls MIDI input/output and stores
sequencer data into the working storage RAM.
The following table shows the pin functions of LSI1.

DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR (LSI2: HG51B227FB-1)
The DSP receives 16-bit serial sound data output from the CPU and adds the selected effect to the sound data
using the effect RAM. Then the DSP provides the sound data to the DAC. The DSP also controls button input/
output.

LCD DRIVER (LSI501: SED1278F2A)
The LCD driver can drive a dot matrix LCD having 40 segment and 16 common lines. The LSI contains 240
graphic symbols in the built-in character generator ROM, and stores 80 characters in the built-in display data
RAM. In accordance with command from the CPU, the LSI is capable of displaying up to 16 characters
simultaneously. The following table shows the pin functions of LSI 501.

DAC (IC1: UPD6379GR)
The DAC receives 16-bit serial data output from the DSP. The data contains digital sound data of the
melody, chord, bass, and percussion for the right and left channels. The DAC converts the data into
analog waveforms and output them to each channel separately.
