PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, ﬁre or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply/AC power adaptor

• Only use the voltage speciﬁed as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

• Use the speciﬁed adaptor (PA-5D, PA-5C or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.

• Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.

Do not open

• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

Water warning

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

Fire warning

• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a ﬁre.

If you notice any abnormality

• If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply/AC power adaptor Battery

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord.

• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

DGX-505/305 Owner’s Manual

• Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, ﬁre, or battery ﬂuid leakage.

• Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries together with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batteries with manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or different types of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause overheating, ﬁre, or battery ﬂuid leakage.

●

• Do not dispose of batteries in ﬁre.

• Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged.

• When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used for a long time, remove the batteries from the instrument to prevent possible leakage of the battery ﬂuid.

• Keep batteries away from children.

• If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked ﬂuid. If the battery ﬂuid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water and consult a doctor. Battery ﬂuid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss of sight or chemical burns.

Location

• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disﬁguration or damage to the internal components.

• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.

• Use only the stand speciﬁed for the instrument. When attaching the stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.

Connections

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

Maintenance

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning ﬂuids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

Handling caution

• Do not insert a ﬁnger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

Setting Up

• Use only manganese or alkaline batteries for this instrument. Other types of batteries (including rechargeable batteries) may have sudden drops of power when battery power becomes low, possibly resulting in loss of data in the ﬂash memory / SmartMedia™ card and the need to re-format the card.

• Make sure to install the batteries in the same direction, maintaining the correct polarity (as shown). Incorrect battery installation may result in heat, ﬁre and/or leaking of corrosive chemicals.

• When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries. Do not use different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the same time.

• If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from it, in order to prevent possible ﬂuid leakage from the battery.

• Please use the power adaptor when transferring data to SmartMedia or ﬂash memory. Batteries (including rechargeable types) can be drained rapidly by this type of operation. If the batteries do become drained during a data transfer, both the data being transferred and the data currently in the transfer destination will be lost.

• Don’t open the battery compartment cover while the instrument is resting on the keyboard stand. The batteries can fall out of the battery compartment and possibly cause damage. Always turn the instrument over before opening the battery compartment cover.

Make sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power.

Power Requirements

Although the instrument will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete resources.

Using an AC Power Adaptor



Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the instrument is set to STANDBY.

WARNING

• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5D, PA-5C AC Power Adaptor (or other adaptor speciﬁcally recommended by Yamaha) to power your instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the instrument.

■



Connect the AC adaptor (PA-5D, PA-5C or other adaptor speciﬁcally recommended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack.



Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

CAUTION

• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.





PA-5D or

PA-5C

AC outlet

For battery operation the instrument requires six 1.5V “D” size, R20P (LR20) or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline batteries are recommended.) When battery power becomes too low for proper operation, a “LOW BATTERY!!” message ﬂashes in the upper right of the display. As soon as this message appears, make sure to replace all batteries, following the precautions listed below. If necessary, also make sure to save all important User data (see pages 49 and 75), since custom panel settings are lost when the batteries are removed.

CAUTION

■ Using Batteries

 Open the battery compartment cover located on the

instrument’s bottom panel.

 Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow

the polarity markings on the inside of the compartment.

 Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it

locks ﬁrmly in place.

NOTE

• Connecting the AC power adaptor automatically supplies power from the adaptor and overrides battery power, even when batteries are installed.

Setting Up

■ Handling SmartMedia™ memory cards

* SmartMedia is a trademark of Toshiba Corporation.

This instrument features a built-in SmartMedia card slot (on the front panel). It lets you save original data you’ve created on the instrument to a SmartMedia card, and allows you to load data from a card to the instrument. Be sure to handle SmartMedia cards with care. Follow the important precautions below.

● Compatible SmartMedia types

• 3.3V (3V) SmartMedia can be used. 5V type SmartMedia is not compatible with this instrument.

• SmartMedia cards of ﬁve different memory capacities of (8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, and 128MB) can be used with the instrument. SmartMedia cards greater than 32MB can be used if they conform to the SSFDC Forum standard.

NOTE

• SSFDC is an abbreviation for Solid State Floppy Disk Card (another name for SmartMedia cards). The SSFDC Forum is a voluntary organization established for the promotion of SmartMedia.

● Formatting SmartMedia cards

• If you ﬁnd that you are unable to use new, blank SmartMedia cards or cards that have been used with other devices, you may need to format them. For details on how to format a SmartMedia card, see page 74. Keep in mind that all data on the card will be lost after formatting. Make sure to check beforehand whether or not the card contains important data.

NOTE

• SmartMedia cards formatted on this device may or may not be useable as is on other devices.

● Inserting/removing SmartMedia cards

Inserting SmartMedia cards

• Insert the SmartMedia card with the terminal (goldplated) side face up into the card slot, until it ﬁts into place.

• Do not insert the SmartMedia card in the wrong direction.

• Do not insert anything other than a SmartMedia card in the slot.

Removing SmartMedia cards

• Before removing the SmartMedia card, be sure to conﬁrm that the card is not in use, or it is not being accessed by the instrument. Then pull the card out slowly by hand. If the SmartMedia card is being accessed*, a message indicating that it is in use appears on the instrument's display.

* Accessing includes saving, loading, formatting, deleting

and making directory. Also, be aware that the instrument will automatically access the SmartMedia to check the media type when it is inserted while the instrument is turned on.

● About SmartMedia cards

Handle SmartMedia cards with care, and follow these precautions:

• There are times when static electricity affects SmartMedia. Before you touch a SmartMedia card, touch something metallic such as a door knob and aluminum sash, to reduce the possibility of static electricity.

• Be sure to remove the SmartMedia card from the SmartMedia slot when it is not in use for a long time.

• Do not expose the SmartMedia to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids.

• Do not place heavy objects on a SmartMedia card or bend or apply pressure to the card in any way.

• Do not touch the gold-plated terminals of the SmartMedia card or put any metallic plate onto the terminals.

• Do not expose the SmartMedia card to magnetic ﬁelds, such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic ﬁelds can partially or completely erase data on the SmartMedia, rendering it unreadable.

• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a SmartMedia. Also make sure that labels are attached in the proper location.

To protect your data (write-protect):

•To prevent inadvertent erasure of important data, afﬁx the write-protect seal (provided in the SmartMedia package) onto the designated area (within the circle) of the SmartMedia card. Conversely, to save data on the SmartMedia card, make sure to remove the write-protect seal from the card.

• Do not reuse a seal that has been peeled off.

Data Backup

•For maximum data security, Yamaha recommends that you keep two copies of important data on separate SmartMedia cards. This gives you a backup if one card is lost or damaged.

CAUTION

•Never attempt to remove the SmartMedia card or turn the power off during accessing. Doing so can damage the data on the instrument or card and possibly damage the SmartMedia card itself.

DGX-505/305 Owner’s Manual 11

Page 12

Setting Up

Make all necessary connections below BEFORE turning the power on.

Connecting headphones (PHONES/OUTPUT jack)

The DGX-505/305 speakers are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack.

The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an external output. You can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a keyboard ampliﬁer, stereo system, mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio device to send the instrument’s output signal to that device.

WARNING

•Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for long periods of time; doing so may not only result in ear fatigue, it may be damaging to your hearing.

Connecting to a computer (USB terminal)

Connect the instrument’s USB terminal to the USB terminal of a computer, and you can transfer performance data and song ﬁles between the two (page 80). To use the USB data-transfer features you’ll need to do the following:

• Connect the USB terminal of the computer to the USB terminal on the instrument using a standard USB cable.

• Install the USB MIDI driver on your computer.

CAUTION

•To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before connecting them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric shock or equipment damage. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all devices at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

Connecting a footswitch (SUSTAIN JACK)

The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain as you play by pressing a footswitch. Plug the Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch into this jack and use it to switch sustain on and off. An FC5 footswitch is supplied with the DGX-505. DGX-305 owners can purchase an FC5 separately if footswitch functionality is required.

Installation of the USB MIDI driver is described on page 85. With this capability you can, for example, use the Musicsoft Downloader software provided on the supplied CD-ROM to transfer songs from your computer to the instrument’s SmartMedia or ﬂash memory.

NOTE

• Make sure to purchase a quality USB cable at a musical instrument store, computer store or electrical appliance store.

NOTE

• Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power.

• Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed footswitch operation.

CAUTION

• Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still ﬂowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the instrument.

● Music Rest

Insert the music rest into the slots as shown.

CAUTION

•Never attempt to turn off the power during writing, otherwise the data on the instrument may be damaged or lost.

The Easy Way To Play Piano

Quick Guide

This instrument includes a performance assistant technology feature that lets you play along with a song and sound like a great pianist (even though you might be making lots of mistakes)! In fact, you can play any notes and still sound good! You could even just tap one key and the results would be a beautiful melody. So even if you can’t play piano and can’t read a note of music, you can have some musical fun.

The performance assistant technology has two types – Chord and Melody.

● Chord .............. Select this type when you want to play with both hands. You’ll get beautifully

arranged sound no matter what you play.

● Melody............. This type lets you play the melody with just one ﬁnger.

Try the Chord type to begin with, and then try the Melody type. The secret to the performance assistant technology’s ability to turn random playing into music is divulged on page 20. Enjoy the feature for a while ﬁrst, then read about how its done.

Chord Type – Play With Both Hands

To use the performance assistant technology Chord type you must be playing a song that includes chord data.

Press the [SONG] button.

The song number and name will be highlighted. When the song is highlighted on the display you can use the dial or other selection controls to select a different song.

The song is highlighted. The number and name of the currently selected song is displayed here.

Select a song.

Rotate the dial and watch the highlighted song names – for this example we’ll select song “026 Twinkle Star.”

NOTE

•For details on Chords, see page

64.

NOTE

• MIDI songs included on the supplied Accessory CD-ROM can also be transferred to the instrument and used with the performance assistant technology.

Press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button.

The PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT display will appear. The display includes icons that show whether the performance assistant technology is on or off, and whether the chord or melody type is selected. Press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button to turn the function on or off. Use the [+] and [-] buttons to select the chord or melody type.

16 DGX-505/305 Owner’s Manual

The song displayed here will be played.

Page 17

The Easy Way To Play Piano Quick Guide

The indicator ﬂashes in response to the song chord data.

ON/OFF

Press the [START/STOP] button.

“ON” will appear when the performance assistant technology is on. Pressing the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button alternates between “ON” and “OFF.” Make sure this is “ON” when you intend to use the performance assistant technology.

The currently selected type is shown.

Song playback will begin. Use the [MASTER VOLUME] control to adjust the overall volume.

Play on the keyboard.

To begin, try to feel the rhythm of the song. Then, with your hands spread as shown in the illustration, simply play the keyboard alternately with your left and right hands (any notes will do).

Sounds like you’re playing the right notes!

The [-] button selects the CHORD type and the [+] button selects the MELODY type. The graphic knob in the display will indicate the selected setting.

Adjust volume

You will get even better results if you match your left-hand rhythm to rhythm of the cord indicator in the display.

How does it sound? You’ll get acceptable results no matter where you play thanks to the performance assistant technology Chord type!

Next try the three playing methods illustrated below. Different ways of playing produce different results.

● Play with the left and right hands at the same timing – type 1.

Play 3 notes at once with your right hand.

● Play with the left and right hands at the same timing – type 2.

Play 1 note at a time with your right hand (for example: index ﬁnger → mid- dle ﬁnger → ring ﬁnger).

● Play alternately with the left and right hands – type 3.

Once you get a feel for it, try playing chords with your left hand and a melody with your right … or any other combination.

Song playback will stop automatically when the song has played all the way through. You can also stop playback at any time by pressing the [START/STOP] button.

Play 3 notes at once with your right hand.

DGX-505/305 Owner’s Manual 17

Page 18

Quick Guide The Easy Way To Play Piano

Melody Type – Play With One Finger

Using the same song, try playing the melody with just one ﬁnger.

To use the performance assistant technology Melody type you must be playing a song that includes melody data.

• If you’ve completed the steps on the preceding pages, go straight to step 2

below.

• If you want to use the Melody before the Chord type, carry out steps 1 – 3 on page 16 and then continue from step 2 below.

Press the [+] button.

This switches to the performance assistant technology Melody type. The graphic knob in the display will rotate to indicate the new setting. Make sure the ON/ OFF icon is set to ON.

The [+] button selects the MELODY type and the [-] button selects the CHORD type.

Press the [START/STOP] button.

Because the Melody type has been selected, the song melody will not sound. You can enjoy playing the melody yourself (step 4).

NOTE

• Press the [EXIT] button if you want to return to the MAIN display.

The graphic knob will rotate to the Melody position.

Song start!

Play on the keyboard.

To begin, try to feel the rhythm of the song. Then tap a key with one ﬁnger of your right hand in time with the music. You can play any key.

Sounds like a melody!

How does it sound? You’ve played the melody using only one ﬁnger thanks to the performance assistant technology Melody type!

Song playback will stop automatically when the song has played all the way through. You can also stop playback at any time by pressing the [START/STOP] button.

When you want to end the performance assistant technology type press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button.

Make Use Of the Score In the Melody Type

If you want to play the melody with the correct rhythm or play ad-lib lines, use the onscreen score feature.

Displaying the Score

After performing steps 1 – 3 on the previous page, press the [SCORE] button. The melody score will appear.

Marker

Chord

Melody

■ The Score Is Handy When …

● You Want To Play With the Correct Rhythm

Use the score when you’re playing a melody you’re not familiar with. The marker will indicate the current position in the score during playback. If you play a key each time the marker appears above a note in the score you will be able to play the melody with the correct “original” rhythm.

Play while watching the marker

● You Want To Play Jazzy Ad-lib Lines

When you are using the performance assistant technology Melody type and you play on the keyboard during breaks in the melody, jazzy* ad-lib phrases will automatically be created. For example, measures 048 through 055 of the song (“001 Don’t Know Why”) are a break in the melody. Try creating interesting ad-lib phrases during the breaks.

* Playing With a Jazz Feel

You can play any keys you like. Begin by playing one note at a time with the righthand ﬁngers in sequence: thumb → index → middle. Then play a simple scale (ex: do-re-mi ...) including black keys while adding dynamic variation. When you get used to playing like this try adding your left hand. Play chords (multiple notes) with the left hand in the spaces between what the right hand is playing. You can stop song playback at any time by pressing the [START/STOP] button.

NOTE

• Jazz Rhythm

The term “jazz rhythm” usually refers to a light-hearted swinging rhythm. Here’s a written explanation.

Straight rhythm:

(one, two, three, four, …)

A more jazzy rhythm:

(one-two-three, two-two-three, three-two-three …)

Most jazz rhythms have a “triplet” feel like the last one above. Keep this feel in mind while playing your jazz ad-lib phrases!

— The Secret Of the performance assistant technology —

How It Creates Music From Random Notes

When you use the Chord type, the performance assistant technology reads the chord data from the song and only assigns notes that will “work” at that moment to the keyboard. In the Melody type it reads the song’s melody data and assigns the appropriate note(s) to the key(s) you play, so you can play the melody by playing any keys. Going back to the Chord type, since the chords of a song are constantly changing, different notes and chords will be produced even if you repeatedly play the same keys.

Song

• Melody data

• Chord data

• Rhythm data

Playback

performance assistant technology

Chord type Melody type

Chord tones and other usable notes are assigned to the keyboard.

The melody notes are assigned to the keys.

You produce a harmonious group of notes no matter where you play.

You will play the melody no matter what keys you play.

● Songs That Can Be Used With the performance assistant technology

When the Chord type is selected the performance assistant technology can only be used with songs that include chord data. In the same way, when the Melody type is selected the performance assistant technology will only work with songs that include melody data. In order to ﬁnd out if a song includes the required data, ﬁrst select the song and then press the [SCORE] button. If chords appear on the display (page 19) when you press the [SCORE] button you can use the Chord type. If the melody appears on the display (page 19) when you press the [SCORE] button you can use the melody type.

● External Songs and the performance assistant technology

In addition to the instrument’s internal songs, the 70 songs provided on the Accessory CD-ROM (page 84) can be used with the performance assistant technology. A list of the MIDI songs included on the Accessory CD-ROM is provided on page 103. Songs downloaded from the Internet can also be used with the performance assistant technology as long as they include the required chord and/or melody data. Transfer song ﬁles you want to use from your computer to the instrument’s ﬂash memory or an optional SmartMedia memory card (page 82).

NOTE

• Notes in parentheses can be omitted.

• Playing two same root keys in the adjacent octaves produces accompaniment based only on the root.

•A perfect ﬁfth (1 + 5) produces accompaniment based only on the root and ﬁfth which can be used with both major and minor chords.

• The chord ﬁngerings listed are all in “root” position, but other inversions can be used — with the following exceptions: m7, m7 aug, dim7, 7

NOTE

Looking Up Chords Using the Chord Dictionary

The Dictionary function is essentially a built-in “chord book” that shows you the individual notes of chords. It is ideal when you know the name of a certain chord and want to quickly learn how to play it.

1 Press and hold the [LESSON MODE] button

for longer than a second. The DICTIONARY display will appear.

Hold for longer than a second

2 As an example, we’ll learn how to play a

GM7 (G major seventh) chord. Press the “G” key in the section of the keyboard labeled “CHORD ROOT.” (The note doesn’t sound.) The root note you set is shown in the display.

3 Press the “M7” (major seventh) key in the

section of the keyboard labeled “CHORD TYPE.” (The note doesn’t sound.) The notes you should play for the speciﬁed chord (root note and chord type) are shown in the display, both as notation and in the keyboard diagram.

To call up possible inversions of the chord, press the [+]/[-] buttons.

4 Try playing a chord in the auto accompani-

ment section of the keyboard, checking the indications in the display. When you’ve played the chord properly, a bell sound signals your success and the chord name in the display is highlighted.

Root

Root note Chord type

■ Chord Basics

Two or more notes played together constitute a “chord.”

The most basic chord type is the “triad” consisting of three notes: the root, third, and ﬁfth degrees of the corresponding scale. A C major triad, for example, is made up of the notes C (the root), E (the third note of the C major scale), and G (the ﬁfth note of the C major scale).

In the C major triad shown above, the lowest note is the “root” of the chord (this is the chord’s “root position” … using other chord notes for the lowest note results in “inversions”). The root is the central sound of the chord, which supports and anchors the other chord notes. The distance (interval) between adjacent notes of a triad in root position is either a major or minor third.

Major third – four half steps (semitones) Minor third – three half steps (semitones)

The lowest interval in our root-position triad (between the root and the third) determines whether the triad is a major or minor chord, and we can shift the highest note up or down by a semitone to produce two additional chords, as shown below.

Major chord Minor chord Augmented chord Diminished chord

CM Cm Caug Cdim

Minor 3rd Major 3rd Major 3rd Minor 3rd Major 3rd Major 3rd Minor 3rd Minor 3rd

The basic characteristics of the chord sound remain intact even if we change the order of the notes to create different inversions. Successive chords in a chord progression can be smoothly connected, for example, be choosing the appropriate inversions (or chord “voicings”).

● Reading Chord Names

Chord names tell you just about everything you need to know about a chord (other than the inversion/voicing). The chord name tells you what the root of the chord is, whether it is a major, minor, or diminished chord, whether it requires a major or ﬂatted seventh, what alterations or tensions it uses … all at a glance.

Using SmartMedia™ Memory

SmartMedia is a card-type memory medium used for storing data. When a SmartMedia card is inserted in this instrument’s card slot, MIDI data created on the instrument can be saved to or loaded from the memory card. SmartMedia can also be used to transfer song data downloaded from the Internet to the instrument, where it can be used with the performance assistant technology (page 16) and Lesson (page 39) features described in the Quick Guide. Furthermore, user songs saved to SmartMedia memory in MIDI ﬁle format can also be used with these features. In this section we’ll look at the procedures for setting up and formatting SmartMedia memory cards, as well as for saving and loading data to and from them.

If you don’t have a SmartMedia card, you will need to purchase one (or more, as needed).

Be sure to read the handling SmartMedia precautions provided on page 11.

Inserting a SmartMedia Card

1 Insert a SmartMedia* card into the card slot,

being careful to insert it with the proper orientation.

The gold connector terminals on the SmartMedia card should be facing upward. Carefully but ﬁrmly insert the card all the way into the slot. Take care not to insert the card the wrong way around.

* This instrument uses 3.3V SmartMedia™ memory cards.

IMPORTANT

• In order to play songs copied to a SmartMedia card from a computer or other device, the songs must be stored either in the card’s root directory or a ﬁrst-level folder in the root directory. Songs stored in these location can be selected and played as song numbers 036 – 929 (page 36). Songs stored in sub-folders created inside a root-level folder cannot be selected and played by this instrument.

2 Check that the ﬁle control icon appears in

the MAIN display.

The ﬁle control icon will appear in the MAIN display when a SmartMedia memory card has been inserted and is ready for use. When the ﬁle control icon is showing you can access the FILE CONTROL display by pressing the [FILE CONTROL] button. Please don’t press the button just yet.

Connecting To a Computer

Nearly all of the electronic musical instruments made today – particularly synthesizers, sequencers and computer music related devices – use MIDI. MIDI is a worldwide standard that allows these devices to send and receive performance and setting data. Naturally, this instrument lets you save or send your keyboard performance as MIDI data, as well as that of the songs, styles and panel settings. The potential MIDI holds for your live performance and music creation/production is enormous – simply by connecting this instrument to a computer and transmitting MIDI data. In this section, you'll learn the basics of MIDI and the particular MIDI functions of this instrument.

What Is MIDI?

No doubt you have heard the terms “acoustic instrument” and “digital instrument.” In the world today, these are the two main categories of instruments. Let's consider a grand piano and a classical guitar as representative acoustic instruments. They are easy to understand. With the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer inside hits some strings and plays a note. With the guitar, you directly pluck a string and the note sounds. But

ator. Using these numbers as a basis, the tone generator plays the stored sampling note.

Example of Keyboard Information

Voice number (with what voice) 1 (grand piano) Note number (with which key) 60 (C3) Note on (when was it pressed) and

note off (when was it released) Velocity (about how strong) 120 (strong)

how does a digital instrument go about playing a note?

● Acoustic guitar note production

Your keyboard performance and all panel operations of this instrument are processed as MIDI data. The songs, auto accompaniment (styles), and User songs are also made up of MIDI data. MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface and it allows different musical instruments and devices to instantly communicate with each other, via digital data. The MIDI standard is used all over the world and was designed to transmit performance data between electronic musical instruments (or computers). Thanks to MIDI, you can control one instrument from another and transmit performance data between the devices-taking your creative and perfor-

MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Channel messages and System messages.

● Channel Messages

Playing the keyboard

This instrument is capable of handling 16 MIDI channels simultaneously – meaning it can play up to sixteen

Based on playing information from the keyboard, a sampling note stored in the tone generator is played through the speakers.

As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic instrument the sampling note (previously recorded note) stored in the tone generator section (electronic circuit) is played based on information received from the key-

different instruments at the same time. Channel messages transmit information such as Note ON/OFF, Program Change, for each of the 16 channels.

board. So then what is the information from the keyboard that becomes the basis for note production?

For example, let’s say you play a “C” quarter note using the grand piano sound on the instrument. Unlike an acoustic instrument that puts out a resonated note, the electronic instrument puts out information from the keyboard such as “with what voice,” “with which key,” “about how strong,” “when was it pressed,” and “when was it released.” Then each piece of information is changed into a number value and sent to the tone gener-

● System Messages

This is data that is used in common by the entire MIDI system. System messages include messages like Exclusive Messages that transmit data unique to each instrument manufacturer and Realtime Messages that control the MIDI device.

Appendix

Troubleshooting

For the DGX-505/305

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping sound is temporarily produced.

When using a mobile phone, noise is produced.

There is no sound even when the keyboard is played or when a song or style is being played back.

Playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard does not produce any sound.

• The volume is too soft.

• The sound quality is poor.

• The rhythm stops unexpectedly or will not play.

• The recorded data of the song, etc. does not play correctly.

• The LCD display suddenly goes dark, and all panel settings are reset.

This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical power.

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.

Check that nothing is connected to the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the rear panel. When a set of headphones is plugged into this jack, no sound is output.

Check the Local Control on/off. (See page 80.)

Is the FILE CONTROL display showing? The instrument’s keyboard, etc., will not produce any sound while the FILE CONTROL display is showing. Press the [EXIT] button to return to the MAIN display.

When using the Dictionary function (page 63), the keys in the right hand area are used only for entering the chord root and type.

The batteries are low or dead. Replace all six batteries with completely new ones, or use the optional AC adaptor.

DGX-505/305 Owner’s Manual

Page 89

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

The style or song does not play back when the [START/ STOP] button is pressed.

The style does not sound properly.

No rhythm accompaniment plays when the [START/ STOP] button is pressed after selecting style number 112 or a style between 124 and 135 (Pianist).

Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound seems to be cut off.

The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the opposite effect. For example, pressing the footswitch cuts off the sound and releasing it sustains the sounds.

The sound of the voice changes from note to note.

The Demo display is shown in Japanese, and/or there are Japanese characters in the display messages.

The FILE CONTROL display can’t be selected, even though a SmartMedia card is inserted in the card slot.

The appropriate display does not appear when the [SONG], [EASY SONG ARRANGER], [STYLE], or [VOICE] button is pressed.

The wrong notes sound when the keyboard is played.

The ACMP indicator does not appear when the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed.

The song number (036 –) of an external song ﬁle transferred to SmartMedia memory from a computer does not appear.

The song number (036 –) of an external song ﬁle transferred to ﬂash memory from a computer does not appear.

There is no harmony sound.

Troubleshooting

Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF; refer to “External Clock” on page 80.

Make sure that the Style Volume (page 71) is set to an appropriate level.

Is the split point set at an appropriate key for the cords you are playing? Set the split point at an appropriate key (page 59). Is the “ACMP” indicator showing in the display? If it is not showing press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button so that it does show.

This is not a malfunction. Style number 112 and style numbers 124 – 135 (Pianist) have no rhythm parts, so no rhythm will play. The other parts will begin playing when you play a chord in the accompaniment range of the keyboard if style playback is turned on.

The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 notes. If the Dual voice or Split voice is being used and a style or song is playing back at the same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or “stolen”) from the accompaniment or song.

The polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power.

This is normal. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple recordings (samples) of an instrument across the range of the keyboard; thus, the actual sound of the voice may be slightly different from note to note.

Make sure the Language setting in the FUNCTION display is set to English. (See page 22)

The FUNCTION display Media Select item might be set to Flash Memory. Media Select must be set to SmartMedia in order to use SmartMedia memory.

Is another display showing? Try pressing the [EXIT] button to return to the MAIN display, and then pressing one of the mentioned buttons.

Perhaps the performance assistant technology is turned on. Press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button to turn it off.

Is the [STYLE] button lit? Always press the [STYLE] button ﬁrst when you are going to use any style-related function.

Perhaps Media Select is set to Flash Memory. Make sure that Media Select is set to SmartMedia (page 67).

Perhaps Media Select is set to SmartMedia. Make sure that Media Select is set to Flash Memory (page 67).

The harmony effects (01 – 26) behave differently according to their type. Types 01 – 05 function when style playback is on, chords are played in the accompaniment range of the keyboard, and a melody is played in the righthand range. Types 06 – 26 will function whether style playback is on or off. For types 06 = 12 you need to play two notes at the same time.

Voice List

■ Maximum Polyphony • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

The instrument has 32-note maximum polyphony. This means that it can play a maximum of up to 32 notes at once, regardless of what functions are used. Auto accompaniment uses a number of the available notes, so when auto accompaniment is used the total number of available notes for playing on the keyboard is correspondingly reduced. The same applies to the Split Voice and Song functions. If the maximum polyphony is exceeded, earlier played notes will be cut off and the most recent notes have priority (last note priority).

Drum Kit List

•“ ” indicates that the drum sound is the same as “Standard Kit 1”.

• Each percussion voice uses one note.

• The MIDI Note # and Note are actually one octave lower than keyboard Note # and Note. For example, in “122: Standard Kit 1”, the “Seq Click H” (Note# 36/Note C1) corresponds to (Note# 24/Note C0).

•Key Off: Keys marked “O” stop sounding the instant they are released.

•Voices with the same Alternate Note Number (*1 … 4) cannot be played simultaneously. (They are designed to be played alternately with each other.)
