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 “fingering.”
There are 2 types of fingerings 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 Triad
Minor Triad
Augmented
Triad
Diminished
Triad
Chord Inversion
We define 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.
A root with a major third added above and a perfect fifth
will consist as a “Major Triad.”
A root with a minor third added above and a perfect fifth
will consist as a “Minor Triad.”
A root with a major third added above and an
augmented fifth will consist as an “Augmented Triad.”
A root with a minor third added above and a diminished
fifth will consist as a “Diminished Triad.”
Chord Name
The chord name contains two parts content: Chord root and Chord type.
Single Finger
Single finger type not only can detect single finger but also can detect
multi finger. And the single finger 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.
14
Page 15
Multi-finger
Multi-finger allows you to play chords in normal fingering. Try playing
the 32 chord types in C scale as listed on the right.
Note:
In full range mode, the entire keyboard will only recognize chords
played in normal fingering.

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.
MIDI
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.
35
Page 36
MIDI
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 voices, add effect 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 voices or turn the DSP
on/off, 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 voices, adding
DSP effects. 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.
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 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 [˄] and
[˅] 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 the voice R1.
Notice:
If you notice any abnormality that cannot be handled, please connect the provider or specified repair agent,
and have the instrument inspected by qualified service personnel.
