Caution for AC Mains Lead
(For United Kingdom)
(For the type as shown in figures A and B)
For your safety, please read the following text carefully.
This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 5-ampere fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5-ampere and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362.
Check for the ASTA mark 
or the BSI mark 
on the body of the fuse.
If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local dealer.
CAUTION!
IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY. THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13-AMPERE SOCKET.
If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as stated below. If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue: Neutral, Brown: Live.
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured Black or Blue.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured Brown or Red.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE LETTER E, BY THE EARTH
SYMBOL 
OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN/ YELLOW.
THIS PLUG IS NOT WATERPROOF —KEEP DRY.
Before use
Remove the connector cover.
How to replace the fuse
The location of the fuse differ according to the type of AC mains plug (figures A and B). Confirm the AC mains plug fitted and follow the instructions below. Illustrations may differ from actual AC mains plug.
1. Open the fuse cover with a screwdriver.

Part II Playing the rhythm
Overview of rhythm performance
An explanation follows of the terms related to this instrument’s rhythm performance.
Rhythm and accompaniment pattern
Each rhythm is comprised of not only a DRUMS pattern, but also of accompaniment patterns called BASS and ACCOMP. The combination of all of these is the rhythm.
•The accompaniment pattern sounds when you perform using the AUTO PLAY CHORD (APC). (Refer to page 52.).
Rhythm and Style
One rhythm of this instrument is comprised of four VARIATION patterns, and for each one the optimum sounds and effects are set.
All of these together comprise one STYLE.

Part V Composer
Outline of the Composer
The COMPOSER enables you to create your own accompaniment patterns. A pattern is comprised of 8 parts: DRUMS 1, 2, BASS and ACCOMP1–5 parts. These parts would form the backing of a song.
Rhythm components which can be stored
Different INTRO 1, 2, VARIATION 1 to 4, FILL IN 1, 2 patterns can be created for each MEMORY (A, B, C).
•Each VARIATION is made of a PATTERN, FILL 1 and FILL 2.
•A Maj (major) and Min (minor) pattern is available for each of the INTRO and ENDING 1 and 2.

Memory capacity
Expressed in terms of notes, the total number of notes which can be stored in all the COMPOSER memories is about 13,000. The remaining memory available for recording is shown on the recording display as a percentage (%).
•When “Memory full!” appears on the display no more data can be stored in the COMPOSER.
MEMORY
Because the contents of the MEMORY are erased after the power is turned off, you should save the data on disks/SD cards if you wish to keep it. (Refer to pages 125, 140.)

What is MIDI?
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is the international standard for digital communication of electronic musical instrument data. This means that any equipment which has a MIDI terminal—such as electronic musical instruments and personal computers—can easily exchange digital data with other MIDI equipment without resorting to complicated conversions or connections.

MIDI channels
Many different kinds of performance data are sent using just one MIDI cable. This is possible because MIDI signals are sent and received through 16 different “basic channels” (numbered 1 to 16). In order for the exchange of data to take place, the channels on the transmission side must match the channels on the receiving side. This characteristic also makes it possible to link multiple sound generators and to control each by matching specific channels.
The following kinds of data can be transmitted/received.
NOTE data
This is the most basic kind of MIDI data which is exchanged, and is used to specify which keys are played and how hard they are played.
NOTE NUMBER: Number specifying which key is played.
NOTE ON: Specifies that a key is played. NOTE OFF: Specifies that a key is released. VELOCITY: Specifies how hard a key is struck.
•MIDI notes are assigned numbers from 0 to 127, with middle C (C3) as 60. Note pitches are in semitone increments, with the higher numbers assigned to the higher pitches.
PROGRAM CHANGE
This is sound change data. When a different sound is selected on the transmitting instrument, the sound on the receiving instrument also changes.
CONTROL CHANGE
These are volume, sustain, effect, etc. data used to enhance performance expression. Each function is distinguished by its control number, and the function which can be changed by the control differs depending on the instrument.
EXCLUSIVE data
This is data that is specific to this instrument, and data for the GENERAL MIDI LEVEL 2 mode setting.
