Reading the Display

This section explains the contents of the Digital Keyboard’s display screen.

Detailed information area



This area displays a variety of information while the Digital Keyboard is being used. Use this area to confirm proper operation when changing values, when selecting a menu item, and when performing other operations.

Level meter area



This level meter shows the volume level of the notes that are sounded when you play something on the keyboard or when Auto Accompaniment is played. There are a total of 32 parts, 16 each in Group A and Group B. The L indicator will be displayed in the lower left corner while Group A parts are being indicated by the level meter, while the M indicator will be displayed in the lower left corner while Group B parts are being indicated. For details about parts, see “How Parts are Organized” (page E-39).

Indicator areas



The indicator area shows such information as the current mode (page E-7), the status of settings, the status of Auto Accompaniment, and other information. There are two types of indicators: text type indicators such as :, and pointer (K) type indicators. In the case of pointer type indicators, a setting or status is indicated by the location of the K next to fixed text along the sides of the display. For example, the location of the pointer (K) on the right side of the display in the sample below indicates REVERB.

Tempo, measure, beat area



Tempo is shown as the current setting value, as beats per minute. Auto Accompaniment, the metronome (page E-19), and other playback is performed at the tempo shown here. The MEASURE and BEAT values are counted up as Auto Accompaniment, the metronome, or other playback progresses.

Currently Selected Item Indication

The item that is currently selected on a display screen is indicated by thick brackets (%) and by a large dot (0). The currently selected item is the one that is affected by the R-14 (–, +) buttons or dial operations.

On this screen, “RHYTHM” is selected because it is enclosed by thick brackets. This indicates that the rhythm setting can be changed.

On this screen, “Touch” is selected because the 0 is next to it. This indicates that the value to the right of “Touch”, which is enclosed in thick brackets, can be changed.

Registration bank area



This area shows the number of the currently selected registration bank (page E-62).

Chord area



This area shows the chord being played when Auto Accompaniment (page E-24) or music preset (page E-50) is being used. It also can display fraction chords by showing the chord root (C, G, etc.) and type (m, 7th, etc.).

Modes

Your Digital Keyboard has three modes: a rhythm mode, a card mode, and a song sequencer mode. The currently selected mode is shown as an indicator on the display.

•Rhythm mode (: indicator displayed)

The rhythm mode is the initial power on default mode. The rhythm mode is the base mode, and it is the mode you should enter when you want to play on the keyboard or use Auto Accompaniment.

• Card mode (; indicator displayed)

Enter the card mode when you want to perform memory card operations. See “Using a Memory Card” (page E-102) for more information. – In the rhythm mode, pressing the C-7 (CARD) button will

enter the card mode.

– In the card mode, pressing the C-7 (CARD) button or the

R-15 (EXIT) button will return to the rhythm mode.

• Song sequencer mode (< indicator displayed)

Enter the sequencer mode when you want to record performances using the keyboard and Auto Accompaniment, or to play back song data. For details, see “Using the Song Sequencer” (page E-64). – In the rhythm mode, pressing the C-3 (SONG

SEQUENCER) button will enter the song sequencer mode.

– In the song sequencer mode, pressing the C-3 (SONG

SEQUENCER) button or the R-15 (EXIT) button will return to the rhythm mode.

Menus

You can use the same operations to display mode and function specific menus. To display a menu, hold down the R-13 (FUNCTION) button as you press the C-13 (MENU) button. For example, the “Performance” menu shown below will appear if you perform the above operation while in the rhythm mode. This menu provides instant access to performance functions.

• The currently selected item is the one with the 0 next to it. You can use the R-17 (t, y) buttons to move the 0 up and down. You also can use the R-17 (u, i) buttons to scroll between menu pages.

• To exit a displayed menu, press the R-15 (EXIT) button. You may need to press the R-15 (EXIT) button more than once in some cases.

• The menu items and operations for specific modes and functions are described in each section of this user’s guide.

Precautions while “Please

Wait” is displayed

Never try to perform any operation, or insert or remove a memory card while the message “Please Wait” is on the display. Wait until the message disappears.

• “Please Wait” indicates that the Digital Keyboard is performing a data save operation. Turning off the Digital Keyboard or removing the memory card can cause Digital Keyboard data to be deleted or become corrupted. It also can cause the Digital Keyboard to fail to turn on when the L-1 (POWER) button is pressed.

• If this happens, refer to “Troubleshooting” (page E-114).

• After entering any mode besides the rhythm mode and performing the operations you want, be sure to return to the rhythm mode. The rhythm mode is the initial power on default mode.

• Unless otherwise specifically noted, all of the operations described in this user’s guide are performed in the rhythm mode.

E-7

General Guide

Saving Settings

Your Digital Keyboard is equipped with a song sequencer and other features that you can use to store data you create. This stored data is retained even when the Digital Keyboard is turned off. However, the tone, rhythm, and other settings you configure on the Digital Keyboard’s console normally are returned to their initial power on defaults whenever you turn off power. You can configure the Digital Keyboard so it remembers its latest setup or to apply a predetermined default setup each time you turn it on. For details, see “AutoResume (Auto Resume)” (page E-100) and “Default (Default Settings)” (page E-100).

* The following data and settings are always retained even

when power is turned off. – Registration setup data (page E-62) – Song sequencer data (page E-64) – User rhythm data (page E-29) – User preset data (page E-54) – User tone data (page E-45) – Scale fine tuning setting (page E-22) – Auto Resume setting (page E-100)

Returning the Digital Keyboard to Its Factory Default Settings

You can delete all data in keyboard memory and return all keyboard parameters to their initial factory default settings. For details, see “To initialize all data and settings (or parameter settings only)” (page E-101).

Preparing the Music Stand

Power Supply

Prepare a household power outlet or batteries.

• Be sure to comply with the separate “Safety Precautions”. Incorrect use of this product creates the risk of electric shock and fire.

• Always make sure that the product is turned off before plugging in or unplugging the AC adaptor, or before loading or removing batteries.

Using a Household Power Outlet

Make sure that you use only the AC adaptor (JEITA Standard, with unified polarity plug) specified for this product. Use of a different type of AC adaptor can cause malfunction.

Specified AC Adaptor: AD-A12150LW

Use the supplied power cord to connect the AC adaptor as shown in the illustration below.

• 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 DC 12V jack. Doing so creates the risk of accident.

Connecting 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.

• Headphones do not come with the Digital Keyboard.

• Use commercially available headphones.

• Do not listen to very high volume output over headphones for long periods. 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.

Connecting a Pedal

Connecting an optionally available pedal let’s you perform pedal operations that add more versatility to your keyboard play. For information about the types of effects that can be applied by pressing the pedal, see “Ped.Assign (Pedal Assign)” (page E-97).

Connecting a Microphone (WK-6500 only)

You can connect a dynamic microphone (only) to the Digital Keyboard for output thorough the Digital Keyboard’s speakers.

• You can adjust the volume level of microphone input with the L-3 (MIC VOLUME) knob. Microphone volume control is independent of overall keyboard volume.

• Built-in effects (reverb, chorus, DSP) are also applied to input from the microphone. You also can use the Mixer to adjust how effects are applied, the speaker stereo pan position, and other parameters. For details, see “Selecting and Playing a Tone” (page E-13) and “Using the Mixer” (page E-39).

• Before connecting a microphone, make sure that the Digital Keyboard and microphone are turned off.

• Before connecting a microphone, set both the L-2 (MAIN VOLUME) and L-3 (MIC VOLUME) knobs to low levels. Adjust volume settings to appropriate levels after connecting the microphone.

Mixer Overview

The sound source of this Digital Keyboard is capable of sounding up to 32 individual parts simultaneously. Each part can be controlled individually, and each part can be configured to sound a different musical instrument. Different tones can be assigned to each part when using layer and split to sound multiple tones at the same time, and to sound multiple instruments at the same time with Auto Accompaniment. The mixer can be used to assign such tones and to configure other settings for each part, and to configure global effect settings applied to all parts. The mixer provides you with the means to make fine adjustments to a wide variety of settings, from note generation to note output.

How Parts are Organized

This Digital Keyboard has a total of 32 parts: A01 through A16, and B01 through B16. Each part has a specific purpose. Use the table below as a reference to determine the purpose of each part when using the mixer to configure the settings of a part.

You can create a user tone by editing one of the built-in preset tones.

Tone Creation Overview

The preset tones built into this Digital Keyboard consist of a number of parameters. To create a user tone, you first recall a preset tone (A:001 to K:128) and then modify its parameters to change it to your own original tone. Note that drum set sounds (K:129 through K:145) cannot be used as the basis of a user tone. The illustration nearby shows the parameters that make up the preset tones, and what each parameter does. As can be seen in the illustration, parameters can be divided into four groups, each of which is described in detail below.

(1) Tone Characteristic Waveform

•Tone Setting

Specifies which of the preset tones should be used as the original tone.

(2) Volume Characteristic Parameters

These parameters control how the tone changes over time, from when the keyboard key is pressed until the tone decays. You can specify changes in volume and sound characteristics.

• Attack time

This is the rate or time it takes for the tone to reach its highest volume level. You can specify a fast rate, where the tone reaches its highest volume level immediately, a slow rate where it gradually rises, or something in between.

• Release time

This is the rate or time it takes for the tone volume to fall to zero after a keyboard key is released. You can specify a release that ranges from a sudden fall to zero, to one that gradually falls to zero.

(Enclosed by thick brackets %).

• Cutoff Frequency

The cutoff frequency is a parameter for adjusting timbre by cutting any frequency that is higher than a specific frequency. A larger cutoff frequency produces a brighter (harder) timbre, while a smaller frequency produces a darker (softer) timbre.

(3) Tone Pitch Parameters

• Vibrato Type, Vibrato Delay, Vibrato Rate, Vibrato Depth

These parameters adjust the vibrato effect, which causes periodic changes in the tone.

• Octave Shift

This parameter controls the octave of all tones.

(4) Tone Characteristic Setting Parameters

•Volume

This parameter controls the overall volume of the tone.

•Touch Sense

This parameter controls changes in volume and timbre in accordance with the relative amount of pressure applied to the keyboard keys. You can specify more volume for stronger pressure and less volume or a lighter pressure, or you can specify the same volume regardless of how much pressure is applied to the keys.

• Reverb Send, Chorus Send, DSP Line , DSP Type, DSP Parameters

These parameters control the effects applied to tones.

Using Music Presets

Music presets provide one-touch access to Auto Accompaniment, tone, reverb, and other settings that are configured in accordance with preset chord progressions. A total of 305 presets let you easily configure the keyboard for a wide variety of different musical styles. Chord progressions include both short loops of a few measures that are great for improvisation, as well as progressions for entire songs. Chord progressions are also fun just to listen to. In addition to built-in presets, you can create your own original music presets (user presets). You can record chord progressions up to 999 measures long, which provides plenty of versatility for long songs. Music presets are divided among six groups, each of which corresponds to one of the RHYTHM buttons from [A] through [F]. Groups [A] through [E] are built-in preset groups, while Group [F] is the user preset group.

While holding down the L-7 ([D] WORLD/ VARIOUS) button, press the L-8 ([E] PIANO RHYTHMS) button.

• This displays the music preset screen like the one shown below.

What you can do with the song sequencer

The simplest use of the song sequencer is to record a performance as you play it. For details, see “To use EASY REC to record” (page E-64). Virtually everything you play on the keyboard can be recorded by the song sequencer. You also can use the song sequencer to perform multi-track recording of 17 different tracks and assemble them into a final song. For example, you can first record a piano track, followed by a bass track, then a guitar track or tracks that feature other musical instruments.

Songs, tracks, and parts

A single song can be made up of up to 17 tracks. The 17 tracks are broken down as shown in the table below.

Directly Inputting Note Events (Step Input)

Step input is an event editor function. You can use step input to specify the length and pitch of each individual note (note event). In the system track, you also can perform step input of Auto Accompaniment chords (chord events) as well.

• Performing step input into a track that already contains recorded data will not delete the existing data. This means you can use step input to add to existing recorded data.

(2) Use the R-17 (t, y) buttons to move 0 to the setting

item you want to change.

(3) Use the dial or R-14 (–, +) buttons to change the

setting value. For information about the meanings and setting ranges of the on-screen items, see “Input Menu Setting Items” (page E-95).

(4) Press the R-15 (EXIT) button to exit the menu.

Use the L-15 (dFF) and L-14 (sREW) buttons to move the cursor to the location from which you want to perform step input.

• The cursor will move in one-measure steps.

Use buttons R-1 (5) to R-4 (•) and buttons R-7 (6) to R-10 (,) to specify the length of the note you want to input.

• For information about how to specify note lengths, see step 4 under “To insert an event” (page E-88).

• You can perform the following operations during step input to insert ties and rests.

To do this: Perform this operation:

Tie the note at the current cursor position with the note event immediately before it

1. At the current cursor position, specify the length of the note you want to tie with the immediately preceding note event.

2. Press the R-11(.) button.

• This adds the length of the note you specified in step 1 to the length of the note immediately preceding it. At this time, the cursor will move forward by the timing of the added amount.

Insert a rest before the current cursor position

1. At the current cursor position, specify a note that is the same length as the rest you want to insert.

2. Press the R-5 (REST) button.

• The cursor will move forward by the length of the note you specified in step 1.

Press the keyboard key that corresponds to the note you want to input.

• The note is input as soon as you press the keyboard key, and the cursor will move by the length you specified in step 5 to the next measure:beat:tick. From there you can input the next note, if you want.

Repeat steps 5 and 6 to input the notes you want.

• If you want to input a series of notes of the same length, skip step 5 and perform step 6 only.

After inputting all of the notes you want, press the R-15 (EXIT) or R-17 (t, y) button.

• This returns to the event editor screen.
