Editable Melody Tone Parameters

There are three melody tone types, each of which is described below. With this Digital Keyboard, editable parameters are the same, regardless of tone type.

• Normal Tone: This type of tone is best for

reproducing the sounds of melody instruments with normal scales.

• Piano Tone: This type of tone is best for realistic

reproduction of slight changes in sound due to key touch pressure, as with a piano.

• Versatile Tone: Tone that incorporates various types

of sounds. Such a tone makes it possible to exert precise control over various musical expressions for a single instrument in accordance with where on the keyboard notes are played, or how much pressure is applied when pressing keys.

Touch “Clear”.

Touch the name of the tone you want to delete.

Touch “Execute”.

Touch “Yes”.

Editable Drawbar Organ Tone Parameters

These are tones of a vintage drawbar organ with nine drawbars and a rotary speaker. The Digital Keyboard’s cr Sliders operate as drawbars with these tones.

• Drawbar organ tone can be assigned to Part 1 (Upper 1) only.

• Drawbar organ tones are not affected by operations that change the pitch of a note over time (such as pitch bend

wheel operations), and temperament settings.

• While a drawbar organ tone is selected, distinctive drawbar noise constantly sounds, regardless of whether or not

a keyboard key is pressed.

• A drawbar organ tone can be used for a single part only.

You can use the pattern sequencer to create accompaniment patterns that sound while using the Digital Keyboard’s Auto Accompaniment function and store them as user rhythms.

Rhythms, Accompaniment Patterns, and Instrument Parts

Each of the Digital Keyboard’s rhythms provides 12 different accompaniment patterns named INTRO 1 and 2, VARIATION 1 through 4, FILL-IN 1 through 4, and ENDING 1 and 2. Each accompaniment pattern can be made up of eight instrument parts (drums, percussion, bass, and chord 1 through chord 5). The overall configuration of a single rhythm is as shown below.

Instrument Part Editing and User Areas

As a general rule, pattern sequencer editing operations are performed on an instrument part basis. The pattern sequencer maintains special memory areas called “user areas” for each instrument part for the purpose of rhythm editing. These areas are used when recording keyboard play. Note, however, that the user area is not used when using an existing rhythm while retaining part of its existing data (Fixed Data). You can check the status of a selected instrument part on the PATTERN RECORDER screen.

On the MENU screen, touch “RHYTHM”.

Select the rhythm to be edited.

On the RHYTHM screen, touch “Edit”.

Touch “Pattern Sequencer”.

Touch “Recorder”.

You can store up to 100 user rhythms in Digital Keyboard memory. To recall a stored user rhythm, press one of the rhythm selector buttons in the 4 RHYTHM area to display the RHYTHM SELECT screen. Next, touch “User” to display a screen for recalling a user rhythm.

Creating and Editing a User Rhythm

You also can use the pattern sequencer to partially edit an existing rhythm (by, for example, editing only one of the parts of an accompaniment pattern) or simply modify its mixer settings if you want. You can also record each part of all of the accompaniment patterns from scratch to create a completely original new rhythm.

Item Description Setting

Inversion Specifies whether or not chords during Auto Accompaniment play should use

inverted forms of the original chord (EGC and GCE for CEG). For example, let’s say that the original recorded C major chord is CEG and an F chord is fingered on the chord keyboard. If “Off” is selected for this setting, the chord will be directly converted to FAC. If “On” (or “7th”) is selected, the chord will be converted to CFA, which is the inverted form that is nearest to CEG. The transition of chord notes during playback when “On” (or “7th”) is selected is smaller, so accompaniment sounds more natural. Note that you should select “7th” in place of “On” only if C7 was specified for the “Chord” setting* when recording the accompaniment pattern and if you selected “Chord 7th” for the chord conversion table. When selecting “On” (or “7th”) for this setting, make sure that you select “C” for the “Break Point” setting.

• Drum and percussion parts cannot be edited.

* “Chord” is a PATTERN RECORDER screen setting item. For details see “To record

a rhythm to each part” (page EN-27).

Retrigger Specifies how accompaniment pattern play is affected by a chord change that occurs

part way through a pattern. When “On” is selected, the pattern “retriggers,” which causes the currently playing note to change to the corresponding note of the newly fingered chord. When “Off” is selected, a chord change causes the currently sounding note to be cut off, and the next note of the pattern of the newly fingered chord to be played. Retriggering is performed when “On”, and not performed when “Off”.

• Drum and percussion parts cannot be edited.

Bend Range Specifies the bend range for pitch bender operation in semitone steps. 0 to 24

Event Edit Provides editing in event units. For details about event editing, see “Editing Events”

■ Table (Chord Conversion Table)

Recording of each accompaniment pattern is normally performed in C major (root C, major type). When playing an Auto Accompaniment, you can use a root other than C and a chord type other than major. To do this, the Digital Keyboard converts the C major recorded data to another root and/or chord type. The Chord Conversion Table is used during conversion to make corrections based on instrument parts and musical genre in order to ensure natural musicality, regardless of the root and/or type of the chord that is specified.

With this parameter, you can select from among the 19 types of chord conversion tables listed below.

This section explains how chord progressions are played in accordance with the “Timing Set” settings in step 2 under “To change how an Auto Accompaniment is played” (page EN-39). Note that this setting affects playback only. It does not change the chord progression data.

 Normal

Plays chords at the same timing as the recording.

 Half

Plays chords measure-by-measure at a timing that is half that of the recording.

Example:

The following shows what happens when the “Half” setting is used to play back a user preset that was created based on a music preset whose rhythm is a 4/4 time.

Half Playback when a 4/4 time rhythm is assigned to the user preset

Half Playback when a 2/4 time rhythm is assigned to the user preset

 Double

Plays chords measure-by-measure at a timing that is double that of the recording. Playing back a chord progression like that shown for “Half” above while “Double” is specified results in the progression shown below.

specifies which note (1 through 8) should sound.

• If the specified value is greater than the number of keyboard keys pressed, the corresponding note is sounded one octave higher. For example, if Low 4 is specified when only three keyboard keys were pressed, the note that is one octave above Low 1 will sound.

• After one octave, the corresponding note will return to the original octave.

Starting from the highest note of the keyboard keys that are pressed (High 1) as the basis, specifies which note (1 through 8) should sound.

• If the specified value is greater than the number of keyboard keys pressed, the corresponding note is sounded one octave lower. For example, if High 4 is specified when only three keyboard keys were pressed, the note that is one octave below High 1 will sound.

• After one octave, the corresponding note will return to the original octave.

With the number of keyboard keys pressed being maximum polyphony, specifies how many notes can sound simultaneously.

• If the number of keys pressed is less than the value specified here, the arpeggio is played only up to the keys pressed.

The step will not sound when “Off” is specified. Off

Specifying “Tie” extends the duration of the previous step by one step. It can be used to extend the duration of notes.

• “Tie” cannot be selected for the first step (Step 01).

Note Specifies a shift of the note sounded, in semitone steps, from the notes of the keys played on

keyboard.

Recording to a Specific Song Performance Part (Track Recording)

You can record specific instruments, the left hand and right hand, or other parts of a song individually, and then combine them into a final song.

■ What is a track?

A “track” is a separate recorded part of a song. The MIDI Recorder of this Digital Keyboard has a total of 17 tracks, one of which is a system track as described below.

 System Track

In addition to notes you play on the keyboard and other performance operation data, the system track also includes a wide range of setup information for the song, including layer on/off, split on/off, tempo, Auto Accompaniment settings, reverb type, etc. Recording to the system track is performed using the recording method described in the Digital Keyboard’s USER’S GUIDE (Basics).

 Tracks 01 through 16

These tracks can be used to record notes, as well as pitch bend wheel and pedal operations, and the keyboard tone setting. These tracks can be combined with the system track and each other to create the final song.

■ Supported Track Data

The following describes the data that can be recorded to each type of track.

System Track, Tracks 01 through 16

Keyboard performance* pedal and pitch bend wheel operation, mixer settings (except for part on/off), part manipulation by a controller, DSP operation*

System Track only

Editing Events

Pattern sequencer data, pad phrases and chord progressions, and MIDI recorder data are recorded as series of “events”. An event is the smallest component unit of data. For example, values for the following performance operations are recorded as events when you press a keyboard key: note start measure, beat, and track, note pitch, note length, and note intensity. Recorded events can be edited, and new events can be inserted into an event series.

Displaying the EVENT EDIT Screen

The method you need to perform to display the EVENT EDIT screen depends on the Digital Keyboard function you are currently using.

Example: MIDI recorder EVENT EDIT screen

• Pattern sequencer event editing can be performed while the instrument status (page EN-26) is either “Recorded” or “Empty”. Pattern sequencer event editing is not possible when the instrument status is “Fixed”.

• Though you cannot perform event editing directly on an instrument part whose status is “Fixed”, you can copy such an instrument part to a user area and then edit the copied data. For details about the copy operation, see “To edit the data of each part” (page EN-30).

To display the pad EVENT EDIT screen

On the MENU screen, touch “PAD”.

Assign or newly record the data to be edited to any pad.

• For information about pad operations, see the Digital

Keyboard’s USER’S GUIDE (Basics).

Touch “Pad Edit”.

This displays the PAD DATA EDIT screen.

To display the pattern sequencer EVENT EDIT screen

On the MENU screen, touch “RHYTHM”.

Select the rhythm you want to edit.

• For information about how to select a rhythm, see the

Digital Keyboard’s USER’S GUIDE (Basics).

Touch “Edit”.

Touch “Pattern Sequencer”.

Touch “Part Edit”.

Touch “Event Edit”.

This displays the EVENT EDIT screen of the currently selected pattern sequencer.

Touch “Event Edit”.

This displays the EVENT EDIT screen of data assigned to the selected pad.

• Event editing can be performed only when the pad data is a phrase or chord progression.

• Pads do not include beat data. Because of this, event positions (timing) are displayed based on a 4/4 beat.

• Up to 32 measures can be edited.

To display the MIDI recorder EVENT EDIT screen

On the MENU screen, touch “MIDI RECORDER”.

Touch “Monitor”.

Touch the track you want to edit and then touch “Edit”.

Touch “Event Edit”.

This displays the EVENT EDIT screen of the selected track.

Using the EVENT EDIT Screen

EVENT EDIT Screen

The EVENT EDIT screen shows the individual events that make up the data.

Event locations (timing) are displayed as measures, beats, and ticks. A “tick” is a unit of time that is shorter than



one beat. There are 96 ticks per beat in the case of 2/4 to 8/4, and 48 ticks per beat in the case of 2/8 to 16/8. Shows the event type and its parameter setting values. The displayed parameter depends on the event type.



Event List

The table below shows event edit parameters and setting values.

• A left arrow () in the “Parameter Name” column indicates that the parameter name is the same as the event

name.

• A circle (O) in a function column (MIDI Recorder, etc.) indicates that an event can be edited using that function.

• Parameters that are displayed for a note event of a part event can be hidden if desired. For details, see “To change

the parameters displayed for a note event” (page EN-72).

Part and MIDI Channel Assignments and Diagram

Though this Digital Keyboard has a sound source that supports simultaneous play of 48 parts, the MIDI standard supports handling of information for up to a maximum of 16 parts. As a result, the 48 parts of the Digital Keyboard are divided among three 16-part ports, resulting in the equivalent of three built-in 16-part MIDI sound sources. The MIDI sound source to which MIDI data that is input into the MIDI IN of the Digital Keyboard is sent is specified by the setting (Port A, B, or C) of the MIDI In Port setting.
