Connections

Phones/Output Terminal

Before connecting headphones or other external equipment, be sur e to fir st t urn dow n th e vo lum e se ttin gs o f th e ke ybo ard and the connected equipment. You can then adjust volume to the desired level after connections are complete.

Rear Panel

J Connecting Headphones (Figure 1)

Connecting headphones cuts off output from the keyboard’s built-in speakers, so you can play even late at night without disturbing anyone.

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.

Connection Example

Sustain/Assignable jack Terminal

You can connect an optional sustain pedal (SP-2, SP-10 or SP-20) to the SUSTAIN/ASSIGNABLE JACK terminal to enable the capabilities described below.

For details on how to select the pedal function you want, see “SUSTAIN/ASSIGNABLE JACK” on page E-55.

J Audio Equipment (Figure 2)

Connect the keyboard to an 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.

J Musical Instrument Amplifier (Figure 3)

Use a commercially available connecting cord to connect the keyboard to a musical instrument amplifier.

 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.

1 SUSTAIN/ASSIGNABLE JACK Terminal

J Sustain Pedal

 With piano tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to

linger, much like a piano’s damper pedal.

 With organ tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to

continue to sound until the pedal is released.

J Sostenuto Pedal

 As with the sustain pedal function described above,

depressing the sostenuto pedal causes notes to be sustained.

 This difference between a sostenuto pedal and sustain

pedal is the timing. With a sostenuto pedal, you press the keys and then depress the pedal before you release the keys. Only the notes that are sounding when the pedal is depressed are sustained.

Playing the Keyboard

To play the keyboard

1. Press the POWER button to turn the keyboard

on.

2. Set the MODE switch to NORMAL.

3. Use the VOLUME slider to set the volume to a

relatively low level.

4. Play something on the keyboard.

Selecting a Tone

This keyboard comes with 137 built-in tones. Use the following procedure to select the tone you want to use.

To select a tone

1. Find the tone you want to use in the keyboard’s

tone list and note its tone number.

2. Press the TONE button.

Indicator appears

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 2.

 Always input all three digits for the tone number, including

leading zeros (if any). If you input one or two digits and stop, the display will automatically clear your input after a few seconds.

 You can also increment the displayed tone number by

pressing [+] and decrement it by pressing [–].

 When one of the drum sets is selected (tone numbers 128

through 136), 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 autoaccompaniment pattern is being played by the keyboard, the

E-18

641A-E-020A

number of notes (polyphony) available for keyboard play is reduced. Also note that some of the tones offer only 12-note 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.

Turning the Key Light System On and Off

Use the following procedure when you want to turn the key light system on or off.

Basic Operations

Using the Metronome

The metronome feature of this keyboard produces a bell sound for the first beat of each measure, followed by click sounds for each successive beat of the measure. It is the perfect tool for practicing tunes without accompaniment (rhythm).

To start the metronome

1. Press the METRONOME button to start

sounding the metronome.

2. Press the BEAT button and then use the

number buttons or [+] and [–] to change the number of beats per measure.

 You can specify the number of beats per measure

as a value from 1 to 6.

To turn the key light system on and off

1. Press the KEY LIGHT button to toggle the key

light system on and off.

 The KEY LIGHT pointer disappears when the

key light system is turned off.

 The key light system is turned on automatically whenever

you turn on keyboard power.

 The bell (indicating the first beat of a measure) does not

sound while one beat per measure is specified. All beats are indicated by a click sound. This setting lets you practice with a steady beat, without worrying about how many beats there are in each measure.

3. Use the TEMPO buttons to set the tempo.

 Press to increase the tempo (make if faster) or

to decrease it (make it slower).

 Pressing both the and TEMPO buttons at the same

time automatically returns the currently selected rhythm to its default tempo.

4. To turn off the metronome, press the

METRONOME or START/STOP button.

 The metronome is disabled whenever you are using Step 1

or Step 2 of the 3-step lesson.

 Starting play of a two-hand tune (Song Bank tunes 70

through 99) or Step 3 of the 3-step lesson while the metronome is operating or activating the metronome while either of the two above operations is already in progress causes the metronome to sound in time with the Auto Accompaniment played by the keyboard. At this time, the tempo of the metronome beat changes to that of the default tempo for the Auto Accompaniment being played.

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

1 START/STOP 2 STOP 3 LEFT/TRACK 1

4 STEP 1 5 STEP 2 6 STEP 3

The 3-step lesson feature takes you through the three distinct steps described below to help you learn to play tunes on the keyboard.

J 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 submelody (obbligato) waits until you press a key before proceeding to the next phrase.

J Step 2 – Master the melody.

In this step, you use the display to learn which fingers you should use and how loud or soft to play, and the key light system to learn which keyboard keys to press. The submelody (obbligato) waits until your play the correct note, so you can learn at your own pace.

J Step 3 – Play at normal speed.

This is where you enjoy actually playing the tunes you learn using Step 1 and Step 2. The key light system 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

There are two types of tunes in the Song Bank: Auto Accompaniment tunes and two-hand accompaniment tunes. The parts available for 3-step lesson practice depend on the type of tune you are using.

J Auto Accompaniment Tunes (Numbers 00 through

69)

As their name suggests, these tunes are made up of an Auto Accompaniment part and a melody part. When using these

tunes for a 3-step lesson, you can practice playing along with the melody (right hand) part only.

J Two-hand Tunes (Numbers 70 through 99)

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.

Key Lighting System Operation and Display

Contents During 3-step Lesson Play

Whenever you select an Auto Accompaniment tune (00 to 69) for 3-step lesson play, the key lighting system shows you which keys to press, while the display shows you the notes and their fingerings.

J Note Pitch

The keyboard key that should be pressed lights, 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.

J Note Length

Keyboard keys stay lit for as long as the note should be played. The staff notation and fingerings also remain on the display for the length of the note.

J Next Note

The keyboard key for the next note to be played flashes, while a number appears on the display near the finger you should use to play the next note.

You can store up to two separate songs in song memory for later playback. There are two methods you can use to record a song: real-time recording where you record the notes as you play them on the keyboard, and step recording where you input chords and notes one-by-one.

Tracks

The song memory of this keyboard records and plays back notes much like a standard tape recorder. There are two tracks, each of which can be recorded separately. Besides notes, each track can be assigned its own tone number. During playback you can adjust the tempo to change the speed of playback.

 Track 1 is the basic track, which can be used to record Auto

Accompaniment along with the melody. Track 2 can be used for melody only, and is for adding to what is recorded in Track 1.

 Note that each track is independent of the other. This

means that if you make a mistake while recording, you need to re-record only the track where the mistake was made.

Song Memory Button Operation

Each press of the SONG MEMORY button cycles through the functions shown below.

Selecting a Track

Press the LEFT/TRACK 1 button to select Track 1 and the RIGHT/TRACK 2 button to select Track 2. The letter “L” (left) appears on the display to indicate Track 1 is selected, and the letter “R” (right) appears to indicate Track 2 is selected.

J Playback

Each press of the LEFT/TRACK 1 and RIGHT/TRACK 2 button while the keyboard is in playback standby (see “Song Memory Button Operation” above) toggles playback of the corresponding track on and off. The letter that identifies a track (L or R) appears on the display whenever playback of that track is turned on.

Memory Data Storage

 Anything previously stored in memory is replaced

whenever you make a new recording.

 Memory contents are retained as long as the keyboard is

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, causing all data stored in memory to be deleted. Be sure to plug the keyboard into an electrical outlet with the AC adaptor before replacing batteries.

 Turning off the keyboard while a record operation is in

progress causes the contents of the track you are currently recording to be lost.

Track 1 Real-time Recording Variations

Editing Data While Step Recording

Memory data can be thought of as a musical score that progresses from left to right, with the input point normally at the far right of the recorded data. The following procedure describes how to move the input point to the left in order to make changes in data you have already input. Note, however, that moving the input point to the left and changing data automatically deletes all of the data to the right of the input point.

To edit data while step recording

1. While a step recording operation is in progress,

use the FF and REW button to move the input point to the location where you want to edit the data you have already input.

 If notes are already recorded, each press of FF or

REW moves the input point to the next successive note. The data recorded at the current input point appears on the display.

 If notes are not recorded, each press of FF or REW

moves the input point to the next successive beat.

 If you move from an area that contains note data

to an area that does not contain note data, each press of FF moves the input point to the next beat. Pressing the REW button, however, causes the input point to jump back to the location of the first note or rest to the left.

2. Press the [+] and [–] buttons.

3. Press the [+] button to start the data editing

operation or [–] to clear the data editing screen without changing anything.

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.

To split the keyboard

1. First select the main tone.

Example:

To select “048 STRINGS 1” as the main tone, press the TONE button and then use the number buttons or the [+] and [–] buttons to input 0, 4 and then 8.

What is MIDI?

The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which is the name of a worldwide standard for digital signals and connectors that makes it possible to exchange musical data between musical instruments and computers (machines) produced by different manufacturers. MIDI compatible equipment can exchange keyboard key press, key release, tone change, and other data as messages. Though you do not need any special knowledge about MIDI to use this keyboard as a stand-alone unit, MIDI operations require a bit of specialized knowledge. This section provides you with an overview of MIDI that will help to get you going.

1 Computer or other MIDI device

 To use the MIDI THRU function of a connected computer,

sequencer, or other MIDI device, be sure to turn this keyboard’s LOCAL CONTROL off (page E-54).

MIDI Connections

MIDI messages are send out through the MIDI OUT terminal of one machine to the MIDI IN terminal of another machine over a MIDI cable. To send a message from this keyboard to another machine, for example, you must use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT terminal of this keyboard to the MIDI IN terminal of the other machine. To send MIDI messages back to this keyboard, you need to use a MIDI cable to connect the other machine’s MIDI OUT terminal to the MIDI IN terminal of this keyboard. To use a computer or other MIDI device to record and playback the MIDI data produced by this keyboard, you must connect the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals of both machines in order to send and receive data.

641A-E-053A

MIDI Channels

MIDI allows you to send the data for multiple parts at the same time, with each part being sent over a separate MIDI channel. There are 16 MIDI channels, numbered 1 through 16, and MIDI channel data is always included whenever you exchange data (key press, pedal operation, etc.). Both the sending machine and the receiving machine must be set to the same channel for the receiving unit to correctly receive and play data. If the receiving machine is set to Channel 2, for example, it receives only MIDI Channel 2 data, and all other channels are ignored.

E-51

Changing MIDI Settings

You can use this keyboard in combination with an external sequencer, synthesizer, or other MIDI device to play along with commercially available General MIDI software. This section tells you how to make the MIDI settings required when connecting to an external device.

TRANSPOSE/TUNE/MIDI Button

This keyboard is equipped with multi-timbre capabilities, which means it can receive messages over all 16 MIDI channels and play up to 16 parts at the same time. Keyboard and pedal operations performed on this keyboard are sent out by selecting a MIDI channel (1 to 16) and then sending the appropriate message.

General MIDI

As we have already seen, MIDI makes is possible to exchange musical data between devices produced by different manufacturers. This musical data does not consist of the notes themselves, but rather information on whether a keyboard key is pressed or released, and the tone number. If tone number 1 on a keyboard produced by Company A is PIANO while tone number 1 on a Company B’s keyboard is BASS, for example, sending data from Company A’s keyboard to Company B’s keyboard produces a result entirely different from the original. If a computer, sequencer or other device with auto accompaniment capabilities is used to produce music data for the Company A keyboard which has 16 parts (16 channels) and then that data is sent to the Company B keyboard which can receive only 10 parts (10 channels), the parts that cannot be played will not be heard. The standard for the tone numbering sequence, the number of pads, and other general factors that determine the sound source configuration, which was arrived at by mutual consultations by manufacturers, is called General MIDI. The General MIDI standard defines the tone numbering sequence, the drum sound numbering sequence, the number of MIDI channels that can be used, and other general factors that determine the sound source configuration. Because of this, musical data produced on a General MIDI sound source can be played back using similar tones and identical nuances as the original, even when played on another manufacturers sound source. This keyboard conforms with General MIDI standards, so it can be connected to a computer or other device and used to play back General MIDI data that has been purchased, downloaded from the Internet, or obtained from any other source.

Each press of the TRANSPOSE/TUNE/MIDI button cycles through a total of 12 setting screens: the transpose screen, the tuning screen, and 10 MIDI setting screens. If you accidentally pass the screen you want to use, keep pressing the TRANSPOSE/TUNE/MIDI button until the screen appears again. Also note that leaving a setting screen is automatically cleared from the display if you do not perform any operation for about five seconds.

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.

J oFF

Plays low range tones and “072 PICCOLO” at their normal levels.

1. Press the TRANSPOSE/TUNE/MIDI button

until the SOUND RANGE SHIFT screen appears.

2. Use the [+] and [–] or [0] and [1] buttons to

change the setting.

Example:

To turn SOUND RANGE SHIFT off

 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.

E-56

641A-E-058A

MIDI

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.

 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 sent or received using CONTROL CHANGE.

* RPN stands for Registered Parameter Number, which is a

special control change number used when combining multiple control changes. The parameter being controlled is selected using the control values of control numbers 100 and 101, and then settings are made using the control values of DATA ENTRY (control numbers 6 and 38). This keyboard uses RPN to control this keyboard’s pitch bend sense (pitch change width in accordance with bend data) from another external MIDI device, transpose (this keyboard’s overall tuning adjusted in halftone units), and tune (this keyboard’s overall fine tuning).

 Sustain (control number 64), sostenuto (control number

66), and soft (control number 67) effects applied using the foot pedal are also applied.

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.

J 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.

J GM SYSTEM OFF ([F0][7E][7F][09][02][F7])

GM SYSTEM OFF is used by an external machine to turn off this keyboard’s GM system.
