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.
SVENSK: Det kan inträffa att den här produkten under användningen tar emot radiostörningar, orsakade av mobiltelefoner. Öka avståndet mellan produkten och mobiltelefonen om störningarna är uppenbara.

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 modes <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.

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.

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.

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.

Except during SEQUENCER playback or DIRECT PLAY of a disk, this slide control adjusts the total volume of all the automatic accompaniment parts.
During SEQUENCER recording, the volume is automati- cally at its maximum regardless of the position of the slide control. During playback, however, lowering the slide control from the MAX position will lower the volume from its recorded level. For this reason, the slide control should normally be left in the MAX position.

Step Record
STEP RECORD is simply a method of making a tune by storing the sounds note-by-note on the display. Instead of playing the keyboard directly as in the REALTIME RECORD mode, you can take your time to input each single note. This is an especially effective method for storing complicated passages that are difficult to play or when the exact timing of a part is critical.

Using Technics file format disks allows you load SOUND EDIT, rhythm & accompaniments, PANEL MEMORY and Song data into your instrument to expand its potential even further.
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 instruments 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 dont have to load the disk data into your instruments memory.
DIRECT PLAY is possible from the following disks:

SMF with LYRICS
䡲䡲䡲䡲
SMF with LYRICS is a format in which character information that is included with the MIDI data, such as karaoke lyrics, can be displayed. This instrument supports this format, making it possi­ble to view the lyrics on the display while a per­formance is played back.
GENERAL MIDI LEVEL 2 (GM2)
䡲䡲䡲䡲
This instrument complies with GENERAL MIDI (GM) LEVEL 2 standards. GM LEVEL 2 is a uni­form world standard for MIDI sound generators that improves on existing GM standards, in order to realize an enhanced performance expression. Sound generators of this class can reproduce vir­tually the identical conditions that were in effect at the time of recording. Equipment which conforms to GENERAL MIDI LEVEL 2 standards is indicated by the following logo.
This instrument also conforms to GENERAL MIDI play­back.
