position, then it forms “Inversion”, we call this chord “Inversion Chord”.

A root with a major third added above and a perfect fifth

sense of its own. Just like a complete sentence in an article.
In music, a period is a group of phrases consisting usually of at least
one phrase, a common combination is two or four phrases, but three,
five or more phrases still exist.
Refer to the relationship of song, period and phrase on the right picture.
How to practicing with smart learning?
In order to help you learn songs faster and easier, the instrument

With the MIDI functions you can expand your musical possibilities.
This section will let you know what MIDI is, and what it can do, as well
as how you can use MIDI on your instrument.
What's MIDI?
1. MIDI (short for Musical Instrument Digital Interface) allows a wide
variety of electronic musical instruments, computers and other
related devices to connect and communicate with one another.
MIDI carries event messages that specify notation, pitch and
velocity, control signals for parameters such as volume, vibrato,
audio panning, and program change information to change the voice
selections.
2. The instrument can output the real-time playback information via
MIDI messages and control external MIDI devices. The instrument
can also accept incoming MIDI messages and generate sound
accordingly.
Note:
This instrument has a USB(DEVICE) terminal, which can be connected
to a PC as an MIDI input or MIDI output. This can not be connected with
another instrument, unless the instrument has a USB host terminal.
MIDI
Upload/Download Data from the Computer
1. Connect a standard USB cable between the rear-panel USB jack
on the instrument and the USB jack on your computer.
2. Power on the instrument first, and then open the PCSUITE software
on your computer. If the LCD displays “PCLink..” it indicates the
piano connects the PC successfully.
3. You can download MIDI files to the keyboard as user songs or
upload the user songs to PC.
4. You can upload user styles to the computer as a backup or
download them to the keyboard. You can upload memory files to the
computer as a backup or download them to the keyboard.
5. Please refer to software operation instructions for detail operating
methods.

Troubleshooting
Problem
The speakers produce a pop sound
whenever the power is turned ON or OFF.
No sound when the keyboard is played.
When using a mobile phone, noise is
produced.
The auto accompaniment does not play
back even Sync is in standby condition
and a key is pressed.
Certain notes sound at wrong pitch.
The Harmony function does not operate.
Possible Cause and Solution
This is normal and is no cause for alarm.
Make sure the master volume is set to an appropriate level. Check if headphones
are plugged into the PHONES/OUTPUT jack. The R1/R2/L voice volume (Mixer)
settings could be set too low. Make sure the voice volumes are set at appropriate
levels.
Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may produce
interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away
from the instrument.
You may be trying to start accompaniment by playing a key in the righthand
range of the keyboard. To start the accompaniment with Sync Start, make
sure to play a key in the left-hand range of the keyboard.
Make sure that the tuning value is set to 0. Press and hold the [+/YES] and
[-/NO] buttons at the same time, then turning the power on will set
INSTRUMENT to default.
Please make sure the Harmony function is on. And Harmony cannot be turned
on when a drum kit is selected for thevoice R1.
Notice:
If you notice any abnormality cannot handle, please connect the provider or specified repair station, and have the
instrument inspected by qualified service personnel.
