This Owner’s Manual explains how to use this electronic keyboard. It does not teach music.
Your keyboard includes a MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) feature, which lets you connect it to other MIDI-equipped musical
instruments or devices — even your personal computer. The keyboard conforms to most, but not all, General MIDI specifications.
Because of this, you might experience some incompatibility when using the keyboard with another General MIDI device. See “Using
MIDI” on Page 10.

Basic Operation
• The keyboard automatically selects the
tone PIANO 1 (No. 00) when you turn the
power on. To select a different tone, see
“Selecting/Playing a Preset Tone” on
Page 6.
• To select an auto-rhythm, see “Using the
Preset Auto-Rhythms” on Page 7.
• To play auto accompaniment, see “Using
Auto Accompaniment” on Page 8.
• The keyboard’s volume ranges from 0 (no

you press SONG after turning the power on.
• Precede a single-digit number with a 0. For
example, to select 07 (“O Christmas Tree”),
press 0 7.
• If you enter an incorrect first digit, press
SONG to clear your entry, then enter the
correct digit.
• Each tune plays a different preset tone for
the melody, but you can change to another

the steps under “Selecting/Playing a Preset
Tone” on Page 6 to select a different tone.
• To quickly slow down or speed up the
tempo, hold down TEMPO
▼ or ▲.
• To reset the tempo to its default (original)
speed, press TEMPO ▲ and ▼ at the same
time.
• Tunes 80 to 99 are arranged so the tempo

unavoidable result of multiple sampling and

Standard Fingering
• You do not have to press the key marked
with parentheses on the keyboard in the
chart to produce a 7, m7, M7, mM7, add9,
or madd9 chord.
• Although the chart shows only one possible
fingering position for each chord, it is
possible to play a chord using several
different positions. For example, the
following three positions produce the same
C chord.
• When you play an aug, 7
–
5
, or dim7 chord,
the lowest note you play determines the
root of the chord. Be sure that your
fingering correctly defines the root you
want.
• See “Standard Fingering Chord Charts” on
Page 13 for all the chords you can play on
your keyboard using standard fingering
accompaniment.
Using the Chord Book
• If the chord is not recognized by the
keyboard, only a dash appears.
• Since the keyboard automatically changes
some chords so you can play them on the
accompaniment keyboard, the keyboard
might display some chords in inverted form.
• The keyboard does not display some
chords because the chords cannot be
played within the accompaniment
keyboard’s range. See “Standard Fingering
Chord Charts” on Page 13 for more
information.

Changing Keys
• You cannot change the key while a
prerecorded tune is selected or playing.
• The number on the display is the number of
semitones
compared to its default key. A semitone is a
measurement that represents the
acoustical interval between the tones of any
two keys on the keyboard. For example, the
difference between C and C or B and B
is one semitone. You can transpose the key
down 6 semitones (to an F ) and up 5
semitones (to an F) — a range of one full
octave.
• You can also use the number keypad to
quickly raise the key. Simply press the
semitone change value (1 to 5).
• The keyboard automatically resets the key
to the default value of 0 (middle C) each
time you play a prerecorded tune.
• Each preset tone plays within a specified
range. If a key change causes a note to
exceed its range, the same note sounds in
the nearest octave.
Special Features
• When you select preset tones 90 through
96 after changing the key, the keyboard
split point changes accordingly (see
“Keyboard Split Tones” on Page 7).
• Changing the key does not affect the
PERCUSSION (No. 99) preset tone.
to which the keyboard is set,
Tuning the Keyboard
• You cannot tune the keyboard while a
prerecorded tune is displayed or playing.
• The number on the display is the number of
cents
to which the keyboard is currently
tuned, compared to its default pitch. A cent
is the measurement representing the
acoustical interval between two tones. 1200
cents equal 1 octave. You can tune the
keyboard to within 50 cents (101 levels) of
its default pitch.
• You can use the number keypad to raise
the pitch by entering the cent change value.
• The keyboard automatically resets the
tuning pitch to the default value of 00
(cents) each time you turn off the keyboard
or play the prerecorded tunes.
Making the MIDI Connections
You do not need to make both connections if
you are only either sending or receiving.
MIDI Data
• The keyboard’s prerecorded tunes cannot
be sent as MIDI data.
• For detailed specifications of the MIDI
function, see the “MIDI Implementation

"%#76+10"
• Always turn off power to your keyboard and
the other MIDI device before you connect or
disconnect MIDI cables.
• As you make the cable connections, be
sure to align the MIDI cable pins with the
matching holes on your keyboard’s MIDI OUT and MIDI IN terminals. If you have
trouble plugging in the cable, do not force it!
You might damage the plug or the
instrument.

Your keyboard includes a feature called
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface).
MIDI is the universal standard for sending
and receiving perfor man ce dat a bet w een all
types of electronic musical instruments,
regardless of manufactur er. Using MIDI, you
can play music on your keyboard and
another instrument at the same time while
pressing the keys on only one, record your
music to a sequencer, acquire a wider
selection of preset tones from a sound
module, and much more.
Connecting your keyboard to another MIDI
device requires a MIDI cable (not supplied).
For detailed specifications of the MIDI
function, see the “MIDI Implementation
Chart” on P age 17.
#$176"/+&+
Every MIDI-equipped instrument has MIDI
OUT and IN terminals, and some also have
a MIDI THRU terminal. Each of these
terminals serves a different purpose.
MIDI OUT sends M IDI data t o (“talk s to” ) the
other MIDI instrument(s).
MIDI IN receives (“listens to”) MIDI d ata sent
by the other MIDI instrument(s).
MIDI THRU lets you connect (“network”)
additional MIDI instruments, and sends
other MIDI devices a copy of all data it
receives through its MIDI IN terminal.
Your keyboard has

MIDI OUT
and
MIDI IN
The cable that connects MIDI devices does
not actually carry sound between them, like
a speaker wire carri es sound from a re ceiver
to a speaker. Instead, MIDI-equipped
devices communicate with each other using
digital codes (instru ctions). One MIDI dev ice
sends digital instructions representing
exactly what is bein g played on it. The othe r
MIDI device receives and translates those
instructions, then produces (or records) the
sound exactly as it was played on the first
device.

• The pitch of a note depends on the tone
that is being used, as shown in the “Note

• If the keyboard receives a “request” to play
notes outside of its range (higher or lower),
it automatically selects the same note in the

The “MIDI Implement ation Chart ” on
Page 17 shows specific details about how
your keyboard is compatible with the MIDI
standard. The following notes explain how
the keyboard works within the MIDI
standard.
Basic Channel
allows for the use of up to 16 channels to
exchange data. Like a TV broadcast , each
of these channels can c ontain diff erent data.
The keyboard can send data on all 16 of
these channels and can receive data on
channels 1 through 4 and channel 10.
Mode
— The MIDI standard allows for four
separate modes of opera tion. The keybo ard
sends and receives data in Mode 3. This
means that the data sent and received by
the keyboard can be polyphonic and can be
sent or received on only one channel at a
time.
Note Number
for note numbers from 0 through 127. This
number represents each possible note that
a device can play. The lowest note number
(0) is five octaves below middle C and the
highest note number (127) is three octaves
above middle C. The keyboard can receive
all 128 note numbers and can send note
numbers between 36 and 96.
If the keyboard receives a note number
outside its range, it automatically assigns
the note to a key within its key range.
The keyboard’s lowest note is two octaves
below middle C, and the highest note is
three octaves above middle C.
Velocity
velocity numbers from 0 through 127.
Velocity is how fast a key is pressed (or if
the key is pressed at all) or how loud a note
sounds. A velocity of 0 me ans that the key is
not pressed. The lowest velocity (1) is
pianissimo and the highest velocity (127) is
fortissimo. The keyb oard can receive a ll 128
velocity numbers and can send velocity
numbers 75 or 100.
