slide it back in until it clicks into place, t aking care to
avoid touching any internal metal parts. To avoid electric
shock, short circuit or damage, also be careful that there
is no dust between the AC adaptor and plug.
Using Batteries
This instrument requires six “AA” size, Alkaline (LR6)/
Manganese (R6) batteries, or rechargeable nickelmetal hydride batteries (rechargeable Ni-MH batteries). The Alkaline batteries or rechargeable Ni-MH
batteries are recommended for this instrument, since
other types may result in poorer battery performance.
• When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be
used for a long time, remove the batteries from the instrument.
1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off.
2 Open the battery compartment cover located on
the instrument’s bottom panel.
3 Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow
the polarity markings on the inside of the compartment.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet
you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn the power off and disconnect the plug from the outlet.
• Follow the order shown above in reverse when disconnecting
the AC adaptor.

To cancel Auto Power Off when turning
on the instrument
Turn the power on while holding down the lowest key
on the keyboard. A message “oFF AutoOff” appears
briefly, then the instrument starts up with the Auto
Power Off function disabled.
• Depending on the instrument status, the power may not
turn off automatically, even after the elapse of the specified
period of time. Always turn off the power manually when
the instrument is not in use.
• When the instrument is not operated for a specified time
while connected to an external device such as an amplifier,
speaker or computer, make sure to turn off all connected

the Right Voice is shown on the display.
• 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 057; page 57).
• 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 57). 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 026; page 55) to on.
Sustain is applied to all notes.
• 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.

Song Book Sample
Play with both hands as if gently telling a story. It might help to sing or hum the melody as you play.
Similar melody lines and rhythms are repeated in this song, so there aren’t as many sections to practice as
you might think. Enjoy learning each section as you build proficiency.

Warm-up Exercise - “The Semitone Mystery”
Let’s start with a warm-up exercise using three fingers of the right hand.
We’ll start by ascending and descending the white and black keys. Check out the
illustrations until you understand how the fingers are supposed to move, then get
started!
You’ll find it easier to play if you bend your fingers slightly.
Right
Go back to the beginning and play it again.

Right! Now that we’re warmed up let’s try playing along with the orchestra in 3/4 time.
The melody will be built up little by little.
Compare each line... notice that many of the shapes formed by the notes are very similar.

Connect the notes smoothly, as if the left hand were passing them to the right hand. You’ll be able to play
smoothly if you move the left hand into position for the next phrase as soon as it finishes playing the first
phrase.

Diligent Practice Time
OK, let’s begin the second half!
You’ll be able to play the melody nicely if you lift your fingers from the keyboard between the slurs.
It might be easier to grasp the key release timing if you sing along with the melody.
Don’t panic and play too strongly where the left hand has to play short notes.
First Half Review
You’ve reached the halfway step! Have you learned all the material provided in the preceding steps?
Now let’s go back and play through all the first-half exercises. If you find that you’re having trouble
playing any of the material, go back and review the steps using the Step Map as a guide.
Always have left-hand finger 5 ready to play the next note!

“Left! Right! Left! Right!”
Play “D E” repeatedly, alternating the left and right hands.
Have the next hand ready in position to play D so you won’t have to rush.
Second Half Review
Try playing all the way through the second half.
As we did after the first half, if there are places you can’t play with confidence go back and review the steps.
Play the Whole Song!
This is the finishing step!
Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Just concentrate on playing the entire song from start to finish.
Practice this with the lessons learned in each step in mind, and gradually you’ll master the whole song.

Voice List
Maximum Polyphony
The instrument has 48-note maximum polyphony. This means
that it can play a maximum of up to 48 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).
NOTE
• The Voice List includes MIDI program change numbers for each
voice. Use these program change numbers when playing the
instrument via MIDI from an external device.
• Program change numbers are often specified as numbers “0–127.
For these cases, it is necessary to subtract 1 from the intended program change number to select the appropriate sound, because this
list uses a “1–128” numbering system. For example, to select program change number 38 in the list below, transmit program change
number 37.
• Some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after
the notes have been released while the sustain pedal (footswitch) is
held.
