pinched by items placed on or against it. Never take
hold of the plug or cord with wet hands. Always
grasp the plug body firmly when connecting and
disconnecting it.
4.
Overloading—When connecting the AC power
supply cord, be careful not to overload the
household AC outlet, extension cord, or outlet from

Cautions for safest use of this unit
Installation location
A well-ventilated place.
1.
Take care not to use this unit in a place where it
will not receive sufficient ventilation, and not to
permit the ventilation holes to be covered by curtains, or any similar materials.
Place away from direct sunlight and excessive
2.
heat from heating equipment.
A place where humidity, vibration and dust are
3.
minimized.
Power source
Be sure the line voltage selector is in accordance
1.
with local voltage in your area before connecting
the plug to the socket.
DC power cannot be used.
2.
Handling the power cord
Never touch the power cord, or its plug, with wet
1.
hands.
Don’t pull the power cord.
2.
Metal items inside the unit may
result in electric shock or damage.
Do not permit metal articles to get inside the unit.
Be especially careful with regard to this point if
children are near this unit. They should be warned
never to try to put anything inside.
If, nevertheless, some such article does get inside,
disconnect the power cord plug from the electrical
outlet, and contact the store where the unit was
purchased.
If water gets into the unit
Disconnect the power cord plug from the electrical
outlet, and contact the store where it was purchased.
As a precaution, it is suggested that flower vases
and other containers which hold liquids not be
placed on the top of this unit.
If operation seems abnormal
Immediately turn off the power, disconnect the
power cord plug from the electrical outlet, and contact the store where it was purchased.
Discontinue using the unit at once. Failure to do so
may result in additional damage or some other
unexpected damage or accident.
• Because the power source is located inside the
unit, it is normal for the cabinet to become warm.
A word about the power cord
If the power cord is scarred, is partially cut or
bronken, or has a bad contact, it may cause a fire or
serious electrical shock if used. NEVER use a damaged power cord for any appliance. Moreover, the
power cord should never be forcibly bent.
Don’t touch the inside parts of this
unit.
Some places inside this unit have high voltage
potential. Never try to remove the top or back
panels of this unit, or to touch inside parts by hand
or with tools.
Contact someone who is qualified in order to
inspect the inside, or to replace a fuse, if such
becomes necessary. Never attempt to do these
things yourself.
Maintenance
The following suggestions will assist you in keeping
the unit in top condition.
• Be sure to switch the instrument off after use,
and do not switch the unit on and off in quick
succession, as this places an undue load on the
electronic components.
• To keep the luster of the surface and buttons,
simply use a clean, damp cloth; polish with a
soft, dry cloth. Polish may be used but do not use
thinners or petro-chemical-based polishes.
• A wax-based polish may be used on the cabinet,
although you will find that rubbing with a soft
cloth will suffice.
• This product may receive radio interference
caused by mobile telephones during use. If such
interference is apparent, please increase separation between the product and the mobile telephone.
• Keep the SD Memory Card out of the reach of
children to prevent them from swallowing it.

Part IV Sequencer
Outline of the Sequencer
A sequencer records your performance in a similar way to a tape recorder. This instrument’s
SEQUENCER allows you to record up to 10 performances in a variety of ways. You may want to record
your entire performance in one go (especially if you are using AUTO PLAY CHORD to provide the
accompaniment), or to build up a complex arrangement with several different parts playing together, like
an orchestral score. This instrument’s SEQUENCER has 16 tracks. This means that you can record 16
different parts. However, you don’t have to use all 16 tracks. For some uses you may only need to use
one or two tracks. This instrument’s SEQUENCER enables you to edit your recorded performance. Unlike
a tape recorder you can change the sound or the tempo during playback, or correct wrong notes or timing
errors.
SEQUENCER features
You can change the tempo without
changing the pitch
When you record your performance at a slow
tempo and play it back at a faster tempo, the
pitch stays the same.
Consistent sound
Your performance is reproduced by a sound
module as it reads digital data. So, unlike a
recorded tape, the sound never deteriorates no
matter how many times you play back your performance.
Edit your recorded performance
Comprehensive editing functions allow you to
modify your recorded performance. Data can
easily be erased, corrected or copied, providing
an especially convenient tool for creating your
original tunes.
Instant search
A recorded tape has to be rewound, but digital
action means you can return to the beginning of
your performance, or find any measure, instantly.
Popular features
Simplified recording method
EASY RECORD is a feature that allows you to
bypass the more complex recording procedures
so you can record and play back your performance quickly and easily.
• You can also record an accompaniment from
the AUTO PLAY CHORD.
Create a one-man ensemble
Use the REALTIME RECORD function to record
your performance in up to 16 tracks and create
your own orchestra or band.
Store individual data to create your song
For repeating patterns or those especially complicated phrases, the STEP RECORD feature is
convenient for recording the notes one-by-one.
• This method can be used to store both the
chord progression for the automatic accompaniment and the rhythm changes.
Memory capacity
Up to 10 songs can be stored in the
SEQUENCER. Expressed in terms of notes, the
total number of notes which can be stored in all
the SEQUENCER songs and tracks is about
40,000. The remaining memory available for
recording is shown on the display as a percentage (MEMORY= %).
• When “Memory full!” appears on the display,
no more data can be stored in the
