Setting Up

Adjusting the Master Volume

To adjust the volume of the entire keyboard sound, use the [MASTER VOLUME] dial while playing the keyboard.

CAUTION

•Do not use the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss.

Connecting Headphones or External Speaker

Standard stereo phone plug

Connect a pair of headphones to the [PHONES/ OUTPUT] jack. This jack also functions as an external output. By connecting to a computer, keyboard amplifier, recorder, or other audio device, you can output the audio signal of this instrument to that external device. The speakers of this instrument are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack.

CAUTION

•Do not use the instrument or headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss.

•Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power of all the components. Also, before turning any components on or off, make sure to set all volume levels to minimum. Otherwise, damage to the components or electrical shock may occur.

NOTICE

•To avoid possible damage to the external device, first turn on the power to the instrument, then to the external device. When turning off the power, do so in reverse order: first turn off the power to the external device, then to the instrument.

Using a Pedal

You can control three functions: Sustain, Articulation (page 19), and Arpeggio (page 21) as you play by pressing a footswitch (FC5 or FC4A; sold separately) plugged into the [SUSTAIN] jack. By default, Sustain is assigned, so that the sound can be heard for a long time even if you take your finger off the keyboard while pressing the foot switch, like a damper pedal on a piano. To use a function other than Sustain, use the function settings (Function 029; page 53).

NOTE

•Plug or unplug the footswitch while the power is off. Also, do not press the footswitch when turning the power on. Doing so changes the polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed operation.

•The sustain function does not affect split voices (page 17) and style (automatic accompaniment; page 23).

Applying Effects to the Sound

This instrument can apply various Effects as listed below to the instrument’s sound.

 DSP

The DSP (digital signal processor) is an effect in which digital signal processing is applied to the sound to change it.

When a Voice or Song that features a recommended DSP processing is selected, the DSP effect is applied to the Main Voice and Song part. DSP effect has effect variations, called DSP types. Please refer to page 82.

You can also turn the DSP on / off and change the DSP type using the following procedure.

1 Press the [DSP] button to turn on the DSP.

NOTE

•The DSP effect is only applied to the main voice. The DSP effect is not applied to voices added by the Dual function or voices in the left hand area that have been split.

•The DSP cannot be turned on during lessons.

 Articulation

Articulation is an effect that reproduces the sounds of playing methods that are unique to specific acoustic instruments.

The Articulation effect is applied to the sound only while holding down the [ARTICULATION] button. The Articulation effect is enabled only for S.Art Lite Voices (Super Articulation Lite Voices). The S.Art Lite Voices are indicated by “***” in Voice List (page 68).

Examples of the Articulation effect

If you select a guitar voice, you can realistically reproduce the following guitar-specific playing techniques.

Example: Voice number 044 “S.Art Lite Nylon Guitar Harmonics”

If you play the keyboard while holding down the [ARTICULATION] button, a harmonics sound is produced.

Example: Voice number 048 “S.Art Lite Distortion Guitar”

If you press the [ARTICULATION] button, a scratching noise is produced.

When S.Art Lite Voices are selected, the appropriate articulation effect is automatically selected.

When other Voices are selected, the modulation effect is automatically selected.

NOTE

•The Articulation effect is applied only to a Main Voice.

•S.Art Lite Voices sound differently depending on the keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you turn on a Keyboard Harmony effect, and then change the transpose setting or change the Voice Settings, unexpected or undesired sounds may result.

Reverb

Adds the ambience of a club or concert hall to the sound. Although the best-suited Reverb type is called up by selecting a Song or Style, you can select another one via Function number 020 (page 53). When you select “oFF,” the Reverb effect is turned off. And you can also set the Reverb depth via Function number 021 (page 53).

 Chorus

Makes the Voice sound richer, warmer and more spacious. Although the best-suited Chorus type is called up by selecting a Song or Style, you can select another one via Function number 022 (page 53). When you select “oFF,” the Chorus effect is turned off. You can also set the Chorus depth for Voices via Function numbers 007 (page 52), 011, 015 (page 53).

The Chorus depth cannot be applied to the Styles or Songs.

 Sustain

By turning on the Sustain parameter of Function number 024 (page 53), you can add a fixed, automatic sustain to the Main/Dual Voices played on the keyboard. Or, you can produce a natural sustain as desired with the footswitch (sold separately; page 14).

NOTE

•Even if you turn on Sustain, there are some Voices to which sustain is not applied.

Changing the Left Voice

To change only the Left Voice, select the desired Left Voice with “DuoLVc” (Function 049; page 55). If the Left Voice is different from the Right Voice, the Right Voice is shown on the display.

NOTE

•Certain functions such as Lesson, Harmony/Arpeggio and Dual cannot be used in the Duo mode.

How sounds are output in the Duo mode

The performance sound of the left Voice will sound from the left speaker, and the performance sound of the right Voice will sound from the right speaker, in the initial Duo mode setting. This output setting can be changed from the “DuoType” setting (Function 055; page 55).

NOTE

•In the Duo mode, the pan, volume and tonal characteristics of the stereo sound may differ from those in the normal mode, due to the setting of DuoType = “Separate” (page 55). Particularly with Drum Kits, the difference may be more obvious, since each key of a Drum Kit features a different stereo pan position.

Using sustain in the Duo mode

Sustain can be applied to the left and right Voice sections in Duo mode just as it normally is by using one of the following methods in the Duo mode like the usual mode.

•Press the foot switch (page 14) connected to the [SUSTAIN] jack.

•Set “Sustain” (Function 024; page 53) to on. Sustain is applied to all notes.

NOTE

•Sustain cannot be applied independently to the left Voice section and the right Voice section.

•While Sustain is on, the setting of hold is maintained even when the power is turned off.

Style Variations

Each Style consists of "Sections" that allow you to vary the arrangement of the accompaniment to match the song you are playing.

 INTRO

This is used for the beginning of the Song. When the Intro finishes, Style playback shifts to the Main section. The length of the Intro (in measures) differs depending on the selected Style.

 MAIN

This is used for playing the main part of the Song. Playback of the Main section repeats indefinitely until another Section’s button is pressed. There are two variations (A and B), and the Style playback sound changes harmonically in response on the chords you play with your left hand.

 AUTO FILL

This is automatically added before changing to Main A or B.

 ENDING

This is used for the ending of the Song. When the Ending finishes, the Style playback stops automatically. The length of the Ending (in measures) differs depending on the selected Style.
