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.
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.
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.
• 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.
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.

Suppose you learn to play a song—in the key of C, for example—and decide you want to sing it, only to
find that it’s either too high or too low for your voice. Your choice is to either learn the song all over again
in a different key, or to use the TRANSPOSE feature.
<Example: transposed to D>

Playing the rhythm
Simply by playing a chord on the keyboard, the AUTO PLAY CHORD function automatically plays an
accompaniment pattern which matches perfectly the selected rhythm. With a real accompaniment as a
background, you can concentrate on playing the melody.
How the AUTO PLAY CHORD works
Playing chords
Choose from the 4 ways of playing chords.
BASIC mode
䡲䡲䡲䡲
This mode lets beginners specify chords with just
one finger. With this mode, chords can be specified either with one finger <one finger> or by
pressing all of the chord's sound components
<fingered>.
When an AUTO PLAY CHORD mode is
selected, an automatic accompaniment which
matches the rhythm you have chosen is played
<one finger>
In the <one-finger>, a major chord can be played
just by pressing the key for its root note.
in the chord which you specify with your left
hand. The melody is played with your right hand.
• The accompaniment pattern of the AUTO PLAY CHORD
is composed of 8 parts: DRUMS 1, 2, BASS, ACCOMP
1–5.
• The volume of each part can be adjusted with the buttons
below the display. (Refer to page 27.)
Example: C chord
44
QQTG0701
Part II Playing the rhythm
Minor, seventh and minor seventh chords are also easily produced.
minor chord seventh chord minor seventh chord
Play the root note plus a
black key to the left of it.
Play the root note plus a
white key to the left of it.
Play the root note plus a
black key and a white key to
the left of it.
Example: Cm Example: C7 Example: Cm7
• When three or more keys of a chord are pressed, it is recognized as a <fingered> chord.
<fingered>
In the <fingered>, you specify the chord by playing all the notes in the chord.
• Play at least three notes to specify the chord.
• If the CHORD FINDER procedure is used, you can see the
types of chords that can be specified and the keys you
press to play them. (Refer to page 47.)
ADVANCED 1 mode
䡲䡲䡲䡲
This mode accepts chords specified with <fingered> and disregards all unrecognizable chord
specifications.
• It recognizes many more chords than the BASIC mode’s
<fingered> chords.
ADVANCED 2 mode
䡲䡲䡲䡲
This mode accepts chords specified with <fingered> and, for unrecognizable chords, it plays
the auto accompaniment according to the keys
pressed.
• It recognizes many more chords than the BASIC mode’s
<fingered> chords.
PIANIST mode
䡲䡲䡲䡲
In the PIANIST mode, the entire keyboard can
be used to specify chords <fingered>
(ADVANCE) for the automatic accompaniment; a
RIGHT part is assigned to all the keys, and the
keyboard does not split.
• When specifying chords, if you press a key a perfect 5th or
more below the lowest note of the chord, the BASS part
becomes a pattern based on that note.
<APC HOLD>
If this function is assigned to the left pedal, for
example, pressing the left pedal will play the currently specified chord in that timing, allowing you
to focus your performance on a solo melody.
• The accompaniment continues in the same chord as long
as the PEDAL is depressed, and it does not change even if
other chords are played.
• To change the PEDAL assignment, refer to page 120.
How to use the AUTO PLAY CHORD
Select the desired rhythm and sound(s), and

• When you use FILL IN, INTRO and ENDING, the auto-
matic accompaniment is also used in these patterns.
• You can set the mode which determines how the LEFT
part sounds during an AUTO PLAY CHORD perfor-
mance. (See below.)
• In the initialized condition, when the rhythm is off, if an
AUTO PLAY CHORD mode is on and a chord is specified, the specified root note (R. BASS part) and chord
notes (CHORD part) are produced. The volumes of these
notes can be adjusted. (Refer to page 27.)
To stop the automatic accompaniment, press
7.
the START/STOP button.

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
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.
Your performance is reproduced by a sound
Create a one-man ensemble
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.
Use the REALTIME RECORD function to record
your performance in up to 16 tracks and create
your own orchestra or band.
Sequencer
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.
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.
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 SEQUENCER.

About Standard MIDI Files
䡲䡲䡲䡲
“Standard MIDI File” (SMF) is a standardized
data format which makes it possible for music
data to be exchanged among different sequencers. Data stored in this format on sequencers of
different models can be played back on this
instrument, and vice versa. Note, however, that
Standard MIDI Files ensure the compatibility of
data such as NOTE data (keyboard performance
data), VELOCITY (how hard the keyboard is
played), PROGRAM NUMBER data (voice number data), etc. Because it does not guarantee
100% faithful reproduction of recorded music
which is replete with such data, it may be necessary for you to adjust the settings to your satisfaction.
• Only files with the “.MID” extension can be loaded.
• Standard MIDI File FORMAT 1 can be loaded, but not
saved.
• This instrument’s SEQUENCER data can be saved to a
disk in Standard MIDI File (FORMAT 0) and can be used
by other equipment.
Playback of commercial song disks
DIRECT PLAY lets you enjoy playing commercially sold song disks directly from a disk. It’s fast
because you don’t have to load the disk data into
your instrument’s memory.
• DIRECT PLAY is possible from the following disks:
