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:
• 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.
• 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.
• 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
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instru-
ment or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• 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 o ver, or roll anything over it.
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an out­let, always hold the plug itself and not the cord.
• 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.
• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.
• 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. Batter y fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss of sight or chemi­cal burns.
• 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.
• 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 near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interfer­ence which can affect proper operation of the other products.
(4)-7
plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by quali­fied Yamaha service personnel.
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-5C or an equivalent recom­mended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.
• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.
• 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.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impreg­nated wiping cloths. Also, 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 b uttons, s witches or connectors.
• Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instru­ment falling over.
• 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.
• Playing while looking at the lights for a long period of time may cause eye strain and stiff neck/shoulders. For your health and comfort, we recommend that you take a ten-minute break for every hour.
DATA BACK-UP AND STORAGE
• Yamaha recommends that you regularly save data using an external device such as the floppy disk-based Yamaha MIDI data filer MDF3, and storing the floppy disks in a safe, cool, dry place. YAMAHA CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCI­DENTAL LOSS OF IMPORTANT MUSIC DATA! Regarding the data you have created, as long as fresh batteries are inserted in (or an AC power adaptor is connected to) the instrument, the data will be retained, even when the power is turned off. It will also be retained long enough to exchange an old set of batteries for a new set. If you have important data in the instrument which you don’t want to lose, please take care to keep fresh batteries inserted in (or keep an AC power adaptor connected to) the instrument, and to regularly save data.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use. Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

Setting Up

Power Requirements
Although the EZ-30 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
Use of an AC power adaptor is recom­mended, especially when you use the EZ-30 for a long period of time.
1 Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON]
switch of the EZ-30 is set to STANDBY.
2 Connect one end of the adaptor to the
DC IN 10-12V jack on the rear panel of your EZ-30.
3 Connect the other end to a suitable
electrical outlet.

WARNING
Use ONLY a Yamaha 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 EZ-
30.
CAUTION
Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the EZ-30, or during electrical storms.
PA-5C
Using Batteries
1 Turn the instrument upside-down and
remove the battery compartment lid.
2 Insert six 1.5-volt “D” size, R20P
(LR20) or equivalent batteries as shown in the illustration, making sure that the positive and negative termi­nals are properly aligned.
3 Replace the lid.
BATTERIES 1.5 V x 6
Replace the batteries before they completely discharge. If the battery voltage gets low, the volume level may be reduced, sound integrity may deteriorate, the display indicators may disappear, or the stored data may be deleted. If any of these events occur, replace the battery, heeding the cautions described below.
CAUTION
• Insert the batteries in the correct direction, making sure that the positive and negative terminals of the batteries match the label. If the orientation does not match the label, the batteries may generate heat, cause a fire, or leak.
• Never mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries (e.g., alkaline and manganese).
• To prevent possible damage from battery leakage, remove the batteries from the instrument if it is not to be used for a long time.
• Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you plan not to use the EZ-30 for a long period of time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC out­let, and/or remove the batteries from the instrument.

Page 9
Using Headphones
For private practicing and playing without disturbing others, connect a set of stereo headphones to the rear panel PHONES/OUT­PUT jack. Sound from the built-in speaker system is automatically cut off when you insert a headphone plug into this jack.
CAUTION
Do not use headphones for a long time at high volume levels. Otherwise, you may damage your hearing.
Connecting a Keyboard Ampli-
fier or Stereo System
This feature lets you use an optional foot­switch (Yamaha FC4 or FC5) to sustain the sound of the voices. The footswitch func­tions the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano - press and hold down the footswitch as you play the keyboard to sus­tain the sound.
Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUS­TAIN jack before you turn 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.
Using the MIDI Terminals
Though the EZ-30 is equipped with a built-in speaker system, you can also play it through an external amplifier/speaker system. First, make sure the EZ-30 and any external devices are turned off, then connect one end of a stereo audio cable to the LINE IN or AUX IN jack(s) of the other device and the other end to the rear panel PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the EZ-30.
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.
Using a Footswitch
The EZ-30 also features MIDI terminals, allowing you to interface the EZ-30 with other MIDI instruments and devices. (For more information, see page 78.)
Special MIDI cables (sold sepa­rately) must be used for connecting to MIDI devices. They can be bought at music stores, etc.
Never use MIDI cables longer than about 15 meters. Cables longer than this can pick up noise which can cause data errors.
Music Stand
Insert the bottom edge of the included music stand into the slot located at the top rear of the EZ-30 control panel.

Page 15
Lesson 2: Waiting
In Lesson 2, you practice playing the notes correctly as they appear in the dis­play notation. The accompaniment pauses and waits for you to play the notes correctly before it continues.
Lesson 3: Minus One
In Lesson 3, you practice playing correct notes, along with the accompani­ment. The accompaniment continues playing in tempo.
2 When you’re finished, stop the Lesson.

Using Auto Accompaniment—Multi Fingering

When it is set to on (page 52), the auto accompaniment function automatically gener­ates bass and chord accompaniment for you to play along with, by using Multi Fingering operation. You can change the chords of the accompaniment by playing keys in the auto accompaniment key range using either the Single Finger or Fingered method. With Single Finger you can simply play a one-, two- or three-finger chord indi­cation (see Single Finger Chords below). The Fingered technique is that of conventionally playing all the notes of the chord.
Whichever method you use, the EZ-30 “understands” what chord you indicate and then automatically generates the accompaniment.
Single Finger Chords
Chords that can be produced in Single Finger operation are major, minor, seventh and minor seventh. The illustration shows how to produce the four chord types. (The key of C is used here as an example; other keys follow the same rules. For example, Bb7 is played as Bb and A.)

Notes in parentheses can be omitted.
A perfect fifth (1 + 5) produces accompaniment based only on the root and fifth
which can be used with both major and minor chords.
Playing two same root keys in the adjacent octaves produces accompaniment based only on the root.
The chord fingerings listed are all in root position, but other inversions can be used - with the following exceptions: m7, m7
b5, 6, m6, sus4, aug, dim7, 7b5, 6(9), 1+2+5.
Inversion of the 7sus4 and m7(11) chords are not recognized if the notes shown in parentheses are omitted.
The auto accompaniment will sometimes not change when related chords are played in sequence (e.g. some minor chords followed by the minor seventh).
Two-note fingerings will produce a chord based on the previously played chord.
The split point for the auto accompaniment function is the same as that for the
split voices. (See page 44.)

Looking up Chords in the 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.
Press the [Dict.] button.
Specify the root of the chord.
Press the key on the keyboard that corresponds to the desired chord root (as printed on the panel).
Pressing this key selects the root G.
58
Specify the type of the chord (major, minor, seventh, etc.).
Press the key on the keyboard that corresponds to the desired chord type (as printed on the panel).
In this example, play M7 keys.
Usually, a Major chord name is represented by a root note name. E.g., C represents C Major.
If you press [+]/[] buttons, another inversion will be indicated.
Page 59
Play a chord, following the Light Guide.
The display indicates the notes of the GM7 chord, and the Light Guide indi­cates which keys to play on the keyboard.
The chord name flashes in the display (and a congratulations melody is played) when the correct notes are held down.
What is a Chord?
The simple answer: Three or more notes played simultaneously is a chord. (Two notes played together is an “interval” — an interval being the distance between two different notes. This is also referred to as a “harmony.”) Depending on the intervals between the three or more notes, a chord can sound beautiful or muddy and dissonant.
The organization of notes in the example at left — a triad chord — produces a pleasant, harmonious sound. T riads are made up of three notes and are the most basic and common chords in most music.
In this triad, the lowest note is the “root.” The root is the most important note in the chord, because it anchors the sound harmonically by determining its “key” and forms the basis for how we hear the other notes of the chord.
The second note of this chord is four semitones higher than the first, and the third is three semitones higher than the second. Keeping our root note fi xed and changing these notes by a semitone up or down (sharp or flat), we can create four different chords.
Major chord
(ex. C)
Minor 3rd Major 3rd
Minor chord
(ex. Cm)
Major 3rd Minor 3rd Major 3rd Major 3rd Minor 3rd Minor 3rd
Augmented chord
(ex. Caug)
Diminished chord
(ex. Cdim)
Keep in mind that we can also change the “voicing” of a chord — for e xample, change the order of the notes (called “inv ersions”), or play the same notes in dif ferent octa v es — without changing the basic nature of the chord itself.
Inversion examples for the key of C
G E C
C G E
E C G
Beautiful sounding harmonies can be built in this manner. The use of intervals and chords is one of the most important elements in music. A wide variety of emotions and feelings can be created depending on the types of chords used and the order in which they are arranged.

Writing Chord Names
Knowing how to read and write chord names is an easy yet invaluable skill. Chords are often written in a kind of shorthand that makes them instantly recognizable (and gives you the freedom to play them with the voicing or inversion that you prefer). Once you understand the basic principles of harmony and chords, it’s very simple to use this shorthand to write out the chords of a song.
First, write the root note of the chord in an uppercase letter. If you need to specify sharp or flat, indicate that to the right of the root. The chord type should be indicated to the right as well. Examples for the key of C are shown below.
Major chord
C
For simple major chords, the type is omitted.
Minor chord
Cm
Augmented chord
Caug
Diminished chord
Cdim
One important point: Chords are made up of notes “stacked” on top of each other, and the stacked notes are indicated in the chord name of the chord type as a number — the number being the distance of the note from the root. (See the keyboard dia­gram below.) For example, the minor 6th chord includes the 6th note of the scale, the major 7th chord has the 7th note of the scale, etc.
The Intervals of the Scale

MIDI Functions

The EZ-30 is MIDI-compatible, featuring MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals and providing a variety of MIDI-related con­trols. By using the MIDI functions you can expand your musical possibilities. This section explains what MIDI is, and what it can do, as well as how you can use MIDI on your EZ-30.

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. Lets consider an
acoustic 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 how does a digital instrument go about playing a note?
Digital instrument note production Acoustic guitar note production
Pluck a string and the body resonates the sound.
Tone Generator
Sampling Note
Based on playing information from the keyboard, a sampling note stored in the tone generator is played through the speakers.
(Electronic circuit)
Playing the
keyboard
Sampling Note
RL
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 keyboard. So then what is the information from the keyboard that becomes the basis for note production?
For example, lets say you play a C quarter note using the grand piano sound on the EZ-30 keyboard. 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 generator. Using these numbers as a basis, the tone generator plays the stored sampling note.
Example of Keyboard Information
Voice number (with what voice) 01 (grand piano) Note number (with which key) 60 (C3) Note on (when was it pressed) and note off (when was it released) Timing expressed numerically (quarter note) Velocity (about how strong) 20 (strong)

MIDI Functions
MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with each other, by sending and receiv­ing compatible Note, Control Change, Program Change and various other types of MIDI data, or messages.
The EZ-30 can control a MIDI device by transmitting note related data and various types of controller data. The EZ-30 can be controlled by the incoming MIDI messages which automatically determine tone generator mode, select MIDI channels, voices and effects, change parameter values and of course play the voices specified for the various parts.
MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Channel messages and System mes­sages. Below is an explanation of the various types of MIDI messages which the EZ-30 can receive/transmit.
Channel Messages
The EZ-30 is an electronic instrument that can handle 16 channels. This is usually expressed as it can play 16 instruments at the same time. Channel messages transmit information such as Note ON/OFF, Program Change, for each of the 16 channels.
Message Name EZ-30 Operation/Panel Setting
Note ON/OFF Messages which are generated when the keyboard is play ed. Each message
includes a specic note number which corresponds to the key which is pressed, plus a velocity value based on how hard the key is stuck.
Program Change Voice number (along with corresponding bank select MSB/LSB settings, if
necessary).
Control Change Messages that are used to change some aspect of the sound (modulation,
volume, pan, etc.).
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.
Message Name EZ-30 Operation/Panel Setting
Exclusive Message Reverb/chorus/DSP settings, etc. Realtime Messages Clock setting
Start/stop operation
The messages transmitted/received by the EZ-30 are shown in the MIDI Implementa­tion Chart on page 98.
GM System Level 1
GM System Level 1 is an addition to the MIDI standard which ensures that any GM-compatible music data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of manufacturer.
The GM mark is affixed to all software and hardware products that support GM System Level 1. The EZ-30 supports GM System Level 1.

MIDI Terminals
In order to exchange MIDI data between multiple devices, each device must be con­nected by a cable.
The MIDI terminals of the EZ-30 are located on the rear panel.
MIDI IN....................Receives MIDI data from another
MIDI device.
MIDI OUT ................Transmits the EZ-30s keyboard infor-
mation as MIDI data to another MIDI device.
MIDI LSB receive cancel
To set the EZ-30 so that it will not receive LSB data for Bank Select, press the [STANDBY/ON] switch to turn on the power to the EZ-30 while holding down the lowest key (C1).
To cancel this setting, turn on the power to the EZ-30 again in the normal manner.

Available MIDI Functions

The EZ-30 has MIDI IN/OUT terminals on the rear panel. Using the MIDI functions can expand your possibilities for creating and playing music.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause and Solution
When the EZ-30 is turned on or off, a popping sound is tempo­rarily produced.
The volume level is low.
Tonal quality has degraded.
Recorded songs are not
played correctly.
The display indication is turned off suddenly and the panel settings are reset.
Noise is produced from the EZ-
30.
There is no sound even when the keyboard is play ed or when a song is being played back.
The effects (Reverb/DSP/Har­mony) are not applied.
The auto accompaniment doesnt turn on, even when pressing the [ACMP ON/OFF] button.
Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound seems to be cut off.
Auto accompaniment is not played correctly.
The polarity of the footswitch is reversed.
This is normal and indicates that the EZ-30 is receiving electrical power.
The battery voltage is low. Replace all six batteries with new ones, or use the AC adaptor.
When using a mobile phone, noise is produced. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the EZ-30 may produce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from the EZ-30.
Check that nothing is connected to the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the rear panel. When a set of headphones is plugged into this jac k, no sound is output.
When using the Dictionary function (page 58), the keys in the right hand section are used only for entering the chord root and type.
Each effect (Reverb/DSP/Harmony) is turned off. Select a type for each effect. (See page 48, 49, 50.)
When playing back one of the Pianist styles (#97–#106), the rhythm cannot be heard. The Pianist styles have no drums or bass
- only piano accompaniment.
The EZ-30 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 accompaniment volume setting is low. Refer to page 61 to raise the volume level.
The auto accompaniment split point is set incorrectly for the play ed chords. See page 44 to set a correct split point.
You turned on the power to the EZ-30 while pressing the foot­switch. Turn the power off, then turn it on again without pressing the footswitch.

Voice List

Maximum Polyphony
The EZ-30 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.
The Voice List includes MIDI program change numbers for each voice. Use these program change numbers when playing the EZ-30 via MIDI from an exter­nal device.
Some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes have been released while the sustain pedal (footswitch) is held.
