Auto Accompaniment
Chord Fingering
How the chords are played or indicated with your left hand (in the auto
accompaniment section of the keyboard) is referred to as “ngering.”
There are 2 types of ngerings as described below.
Chord Basics
A chord, in music, is any harmonic set of three or more notes that is
heard as if sounding simultaneously. The most frequently encountered
chords are triads. A triad is a set of three notes that can be stacked in
thirds. When stacked in thirds, the triad’s members, from lowest pitched
tone to highest, are called: the Root, the Third, and the Fifth.
Triad Type
There are following basic triad types:
Major TriadA root with a major third added above and a perfect
fth will consist as a “Major Triad.”
Minor TriadA root with a minor third added above and a perfect
fth will consist as a “Minor Triad.”
Augmented Triad A root with a major third added above and an aug-
mented fth will consist as an “Augmented Triad.”
Diminished Triad A root with a minor third added above and a dimin-
ished fth will consist as a “Diminished Triad.”
Chord Inversion
We dene this chord its root is not in the bass (i.e. the root is not the
lowest note) as an inversion chord. When the root is in the bass, we call
the chord: root-position chord. If we put the Third and Fifth in the root
position, then it forms “Inversion,” we call this chord “Inversion Chord.”
See the following major triad and its inverted chord.
Chord Name
The chord name contains two parts content: Chord root and Chord type.
Single Finger
Single nger type not only can detect single nger but also can detect
multi nger. And the single nger makes it easily to play chords through
only one, two or three keys. Including major, minor, seventh, and minor
seventh chord. Refer to relevant picture on the right for details.

MIDI
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 tone selections.
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 computer jack (p. 7), which can be connnected to a computer as a MIDI input or MIDI output. This can not be
connected with another instrument, unless the instrument has a USB
host terminal.
The main application of MIDI
1. Used as a tone generator.
This instrument can receive MIDI data from computer, and execute
MIDI controls to change channels, change tones, add eect and
make sound and so on. Refer to MIDI Implementation Chart for
more MIDI controls.
2. Used as a MIDI Keyboard
When you play the keyboard, change the tones or turn the DSP on/
o, the instrument will send MIDI data to the computer, which will
be saved as records (It only records your keyboard performance
when playing along with accompaniment.) You can edit the records
on the computer, such as changing the channels or tones, adding
DSP eects. Then play back the records with the instrument or other
sound source (such as a sound card). You can play the keyboard
along with the playback. Refer to MIDI Implementation Chart for
more MIDI controls.
Connecting to a MIDI Software on Computer
To use the USB computer jack (p. 7) of the instrument, you may need
to congure the software on computer. For example, setting Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software under WINDOWS10 operating system:
1. Use a standard USB cable to connect the instrument to computer.
Make sure the instrument is turned on.
2. Open Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software on computer.
3. The software will automatically recognize the E-X10 USB DEVICE ei-
ther as the MIDI Input or as the MIDI Output. For more conguration
information, please refer to the HELP of the software.
4. You can follow the above operations when using other similar MIDI
software.

Troubleshooting
ProblemPossible Cause and Solution
The speakers produce a pop sound whenever the
power is turned on or o.
Speakers do not produce sound when the keyboard is played.
The speakers produce noise when a mobile phone
is put near them.

Certain notes seem to be in the wrong pitch.Make sure that the tune value is set to 0 in the function menu.
When connecting to computer, the instrument
cannot be recognized.
The pedal does not respond.Check if the pedal cable is rmly connected.
When using a pedal switch , it doesn’t sustain the
notes when the pedal is pressed, but it sustain the
notes when the pedal is released.
