Power Supply

Either an AC adaptor or batteries can be used to power this Digital Keyboard. Normally, use of AC adaptor power is recommended.

• The AC adaptor does not come with this Digital Keyboard. Purchase it separately from your retailer. See page E-3 for information about options.

Using the AC Adaptor

Use the AC adaptor when you want to power the Digital Keyboard from a household electrical outlet.

Specified AC Adaptor: AD-5

DC 9V terminal

AC adaptor

Using Batteries

• Be sure to turn off power before loading batteries.

• It is up to you to prepare six commercially available D-size batteries. Do not use oxyride batteries or any other nickel based batteries.

Open the battery cover on the bottom of the Digital Keyboard.

Load six D-size batteries into the battery compartment.

Make sure the positive + and negative - ends of the batteries are facing as shown in the illustration.

Insert the tabs of the battery cover into the holes on the side of the battery compartment, and close the cover.

• Turning off the Digital Keyboard causes most current settings to be cleared. The Digital Keyboard will revert to initial settings the next time you turn it on.

• This is true for all settings except for sample sound protection. Once you turn it on it remains on until you turn it off again.

Auto Power Off (Using Batteries)

While you are using batteries for power, power will turn off automatically if you do not perform any operation for about six minutes. Auto Power Off is disabled while the AC adaptor is being used for power.

■ Disabling Auto Power Off

You can disable Auto Power Off to ensure that power is not turned off automatically during a concert, etc.

While holding down bp, turn on power.

Auto Power Off will be disabled.

• Headphones do not come with the Digital Keyboard.

• Use commercially available headphones. See page E-3 for information about options.

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

Playing the Digital Keyboard

Changing Keyboard Response to Touch Pressure (Touch Response)

Touch Response alters tone volume in accordance with keyboard pressure (speed). This provides you some of the same expressivity you get on an acoustic piano.

Keyboard Instrument Sound Intensity

■ Sound intensity depends on the speed that keys are pressed.

People normally believe that the stronger the pressure applied to a piano keyboard, the louder the sound. Actually, however, the intensity of the notes played depends on the speed at which keys are pressed. Notes are louder when keys are pressed quickly, and quieter when keys are pressed slowly. Keeping this in mind as you play a keyboard musical instrument lets you control note volume without striving to apply too much pressure with your fingertips.

■ The playability of an acoustic piano

Your Digital Keyboard provides you with key touch that is the next best thing to an acoustic piano. Note volume changes automatically in accordance with key press speed.

Changing Touch Response Sensitivity

Use the procedure below to control how much the volume of played notes change in accordance with playing speed. Select the setting that best matches your playing style.

Press ct and then use the bs (10-key) [4] (o) and [6] (p) keys to display “Touch” (page E-6).

Touch

Use bs (10-key) [–] and [+] keys to select one of the three Touch Response sensitivity settings.

Off (oFF) Touch Response is turned off. Sound

volume is fixed, regardless of key press speed.

Type 1 (1) Normal Touch Response Type 2 (2) More sensitive Touch Response than Type 1

Indicator disappears when Touch Response is turned off.

Pressing fast produces louder notes.

Pressing slowly produces softer notes.

Do not try to use too much pressure.

Adjusting Display Contrast

Press ct and then use the bs (10-key) [4] (o) and [6] (p) keys to display “OTHER” (page E-6).

Press bs (10-key) [7] (ENTER) key.

The metronome lets you play and practice along with a steady beat to help keep you on tempo.

Start/Stop

Press 7.

This starts the metronome.

This pattern changes with each beat.

Press 7 again to stop the metronome.

Changing the Beats Per Measure

You can configure the metronome to use a bell sound for the first beat of each measure of the song you are playing.

• You can specify 0, or a value from 2 to 6 as the number of beat per measure.

• When playing a built-in song, the beats per measure setting (which determines when the bell sounds) is configured automatically for the currently selected song.

While still holding down the two buttons, keep pressing and releasing any keyboard key.

• Each press of the keyboard key will sound the tone assigned to the voice pad. As you listen to the tone, adjust its volume by altering the speed at which you are pressing the keyboard key. Pressing at a faster rate will raise the volume, while a slower rate will lower the volume.

After the tone is at the volume you want, release the two buttons you depressed in step 2.

• You can batch adjust the volume level of more than one voice pad by holding down more than one voice pad along with

in step 2 above.

Hold down 7 until the beats per measure setting screen appears on the display.

Sampling Sounds and Playing Them on the Digital Keyboard

You can sample sounds from a microphone, from a portable audio player, or other device, and then play the sound on the keyboard or voice pads. For example, you could sample the bark of your dog and then use the sound in a melody. You also can sample and use passages from a CD. The sampling feature is a great way to create new sounds that are highly creative.

■ Maintaining Sampled Sound Data in Memory

After you save sampled sound data in memory, it will remain there as long as power is supplied to the keyboard. However, if you disconnect the AC adaptor when there are no batteries loaded, sampled sound data will be deleted.

Tips for Maintaining Data

You can divide a song according to various types of parts (instrument, left and right hand, etc.), and record each part to a specific track. You can mix up to six tracks (the original track plus five additional tracks) into a final song.

■ About tracks

Tracks are numbered from 1 to 6.

• If you do not specify a track number when recording, recording is performed to Track 1 automatically.

In addition to what you play on the keyboard, the following information also is recorded.

• Track 1

Settings: Tone number, rhythm number, tempo, reverb, chorus, chords, layer/split settings, Auto Harmonize/Arpeggiator setting

Operations: Pedal, INTRO button, SYNCHRO/ENDING button, NORMAL/FILL-IN button, VARIATION/FILL-IN button

• Tracks 2 through 6

■ To delete recorded data

After step 3 of the above procedure, hold down 5 (without pressing any keyboard key) until the message “Tr.Del?” appears on the display. Press [+] (YES) to delete the data, or [–] (NO) to cancel the delete operation.

• Turning off the Digital Keyboard while recording is in progress will cause any data in recorder memory to be deleted.

• A new recording replaces (deletes) previously recorded contents.

■ Maintaining Data in Recorder Memory

After you save data in recorder memory, it will remain there as long as power is supplied to the keyboard. However, if you disconnect the AC adaptor when there are no batteries loaded, data in recorder memory will be deleted.

Tips for Maintaining Data

• Use both batteries and the AC adaptor together.

• Make sure that batteries with sufficient power are loaded whenever you disconnect the AC adaptor.

• Connect the AC adaptor to the keyboard and plug it into a power outlet before replacing batteries.

Before connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor or replacing batteries, first press

to turn off power.
