turbing anyone.  
Audio Equipment (Figure 2)  
Connect the keyboard to a audio equipment using a com-  
mercially available connecting cord with a standard plug on  
one end and two PIN plugs on the other end. Note that the  
standard plug you connect to the keyboard must be a stereo  
plug, otherwise you will be able to output only one of stereo  
channels. In this configuration, you normally set the input  
selector of the audio equipment to the terminal (usually  
marked AUX IN or something similar) where the cord from  
the keyboard is connected. See the user documentation that  
comes with your audio equipment for full details.  
SP-20  
Sustain Pedal  
With piano tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to lin-  
ger, much like a pianos damper pedal.  
With organ tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to con-  
tinue to sound until the pedal is released.  
Musical Instrument Amplifier (Figure 3)  
Accessories and Options  
Use only the accessories and options specified for this key-  
board. Use of non-authorized items creates the danger of fire,  
electrical shock, and personal injury.  
Use a commercially available connecting cord* to connect the  
keyboard to a musical instrument amplifier.  
* Be sure to use a connecting cord that has a stereo standard  
plug on the end you connect to the keyboard, and a con-  
nector that provides dual channel (left and right) input to  
the amplifier to which you are connecting. The wrong type  
of connector at either end can cause one of the stereo chan-  
nels to be lost.  
When connected to a musical instrument amplifier, set the  
volume of the keyboard to a relatively low level and make  
output volume adjustments using the amplifiers controls.

Combination tones  
Digital Sampling  
The following describes the two types of combination tones  
that are available.  
A number of the tones that are available with this keyboard  
have been recorded and processed using a technique called  
digital sampling. To ensure a high level of tonal quality, sam-  
ples are taken in the low, mid, and high ranges and then com-  
bined to provide you with sounds that are amazingly close  
to the originals. You may notice very slight differences in  
volume or sound quality for some tones when you play them  
at different positions on the keyboard. This is an unavoid-  
able result of multiple sampling, and it is not a sign of mal-  
function.  
Layered Tones (Tone Numbers: 80 through 89)  
Example: 80 STR PIANO  
This tone layers a strings tone with a piano tone so they both  
sound when a keyboard key is pressed.  
Split Tones (Tone Numbers: 90 through 96)  
Example: 90 BASS/PIANO  
This tone splits the keyboard so one range is assigned a bass  
tone and another range is assigned a piano tone.  
BASS  
PIANO  
Percussion sounds  
Example: 99 PERCUSSION  
This tone assigns various percussion sounds to the keyboard.  
See the Percussion Instrument Liston page A-5 for full de-  
tails.  
Sound Effect Tones  
With sound effect tones 77 through 79, the type of sound pro-  
duced depends on the octave where the key you press is lo-  
cated. When 78 PHONE is selected available sound types are  
PUSH TONE 1, PUSH TONE 2, RING 1, RING 2, and BUSY  
SIGNAL.  
Polyphony  
The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes  
you can play at the same time. The keyboard has 12-note po-  
lyphony, which includes the notes you play as well as the  
rhythms and auto-accompaniment patterns that are played  
by the keyboard. This means that when a rhythm or auto-  
accompaniment pattern is being played by the keyboard, the  
number of notes (polyphony) available for keyboard play is  
reduced. Also note that some of the tones offer only 6-note  
polyphony.  
NOTE  
When rhythm or auto accompaniment is playing, the number  
of sounds simultaneously played is reduced.

What is a chord?  
A chord is made up of a root note, upon which is stacked a  
number of other notes. A variety of different chords can be  
created by changing the notes stacked onto a root.

Inverted Forms  
There are a number of different ways to play the same chord.  
A form that is different from the basic form but still produces  
the same chord is called an inverted form.”  
Chord Names  
Chords are named using upper-case letters from A through  
G, which indicate the root note of the chord. If the root note  
is a sharp or flat, the chord itself is sharp or flat. A chord  
name may also be followed by a degree number or other sym-  
bols that indicate certain characteristics about the chord.  
<Example: C chord>  
All of the following are C chords.

5. Check to make sure that the chord name on the  
display is the one you want. If it isnt, repeat the  
above from step 2.  
3. If the chord name you plan to input is a non-  
major chord, use the chord specification but-  
tons to specify the chord type.  
Chord types are indicated by the small letters above  
the chord specifications buttons.  
Non-major chords include minor, seventh, sustained,  
etc. chords.  
See page E-28 for details on the chord specification  
buttons.  
Skip step 3 if you want to input a major chord name.  
6. If the chord is correct, you can see its fingering  
on the graphic keyboard. Try playing the chord  
on the keyboard.  
<Example>  
<Example: F m7-5>  
NOTE  
The fingering that appears on the display is one standard fin-  
gering. You can also use other fingerings to match the size of  
your hands or to make it easier to progress from or to neigh-  
boring chords.  
You can also use the [+] and [] buttons to change the dis-  
played chord name.  
The tone used to sound chords you play on the accompani-  
ment keyboard while using the Chord Book is the same tone  
used by the accompaniment part of the rhythm that was se-  
lected before you entered the Chord Book mode. Depending  
on the rhythm that was selected, some of the notes that make  
up a chord may be omitted when you play the chord on the  
accompaniment keyboard in the Chord Book Mode. This is due  
to the internal chord conversion function, arrangements, and  
polyphony limitations. Because of this, you should always play  
the chords indicated on the display on the melody keyboard  
(the range that does not have chord names printed above the  
keys).  
4. Press the accompaniment keyboard key that cor-  
responds to the root note of the chord.  
A dash appears in place of the chord name if the chord  
cannot be recognized by the keyboard.  
To specify F , for example, press the F key.  
The key you press is indicated on the graphic key-  
board and the corresponding chord sounds.

NOTE  
Since the chord fingerings that appear on the display are se-  
lected to allow chord play within the accompaniment keyboard,  
inverted chord forms (page E-26) are often suggested. Invert-  
ed chord forms are useful to help you learn how to play chord  
variations that make it possible to move from one chord to an-  
other with minimal hand movement. These forms come in handy  
when using FINGERED Auto Accompaniment play.  
While a chord name is on the display, you can press keys on  
the accompaniment keyboard to find out the fingerings of the  
same chord with a different root.

MIDI  
What is MIDI?  
General MIDI  
The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital Inter-  
face, which is the name of a worldwide standard for digital  
signals and connectors that makes it possible to exchange  
musical data between musical instruments and computers  
(machines) produced by different manufacturers. MIDI com-  
patible equipment can exchange keyboard key press, key re-  
lease, tone change, and other data as messages.  
General MIDI standardizes MIDI data for all sound source  
types, regardless of manufacturer. General MIDI specifies  
such factors as tone numbering, drum sounds, and available  
MIDI channels for all sound sources. This standard makes it  
possible for all MIDI equipment to reproduce the same nu-  
ances when playing General MIDI data, regardless of the  
manufacturer of the sound source.  
Though you do not need any special knowledge about MIDI  
to use this keyboard as a stand-alone unit, MIDI operations  
require a bit of specialized knowledge. This section provides  
you with an overview of MIDI that will help to get you go-  
ing.  
Though the sound source of this keyboard is not General  
MIDI compatible, you can still connect the keyboard to a com-  
puter or other MIDI equipment to playback General MIDI  
data that is widely available in stores, over computer net-  
works, and from other sources.  
NOTE  
MIDI Connections  
General MIDI data made up of a large number of parts may not  
play correctly on this keyboard.  
You will have most success playing back General MIDI data  
that has few parts and is made up of data on channels 1, 2, 3,  
4, and 10.  
MIDI messages are send out through the MIDI OUT termi-  
nal of one machine to the MIDI IN terminal of another ma-  
chine over a MIDI cable. To send a message from this key-  
board to another machine, for example, you must use a MIDI  
cable to connect the MIDI OUT terminal of this keyboard to  
the MIDI IN terminal of the other machine. To send MIDI  
messages back to this keyboard, you need to use a MIDI ca-  
ble to connect the other machines MIDI OUT terminal to the  
MIDI IN terminal of this keyboard.  
To use a computer or other MIDI device to record and play-  
back the MIDI data produced by this keyboard, you must  
connect the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals of both ma-  
chines in order to send and receive data.  
Messages  
There is a wide variety of messages defined under the MIDI  
standard, and this section details the particular messages that  
can be sent and received by this keyboard.  
NOTE ON/OFF  
This message sends data when a key is pressed (NOTE ON)  
or released (NOTE OFF).  
A NOTE ON/OFF message include a note number (to indi-  
cate note whose key is being pressed or released) and veloc-  
ity (keyboard pressure as a value from 1 to 127).  
NOTE ON velocity is always used to determine the relative  
volume of the note. This keyboard does not receive NOTE  
OFF velocity data.  
MIDI IN MIDI OUT  
MIDI IN MIDI OUT  
MIDI sequencer  
Whenever you press or release a key on this keyboard, the  
corresponding NOTE ON or NOTE OFF message is sent by  
constant velocity from the MIDI OUT terminal.  
MIDI Channels  
MIDI allows you to send the data for multiple parts at the  
same time, with each part being sent over a separate MIDI  
channel. There are 16 MIDI channels, numbered 1 through  
16, and MIDI channel data is always included whenever you  
exchange data (key press etc.).  
NOTE  
The pitch of a note depends on the tone that is being used, as  
shown in the Note Table on page A-2. Whenever this keyboard  
receives a note number that is outside its range for that tone,  
the same tone in the nearest available octave is substituted.  
Both the sending machine and the receiving machine must  
be set to the same channel for the receiving unit to correctly  
receive and play data. If the receiving machine is set to Chan-  
nel 2, for example, it receives only MIDI Channel 2 data, and  
all other channels are ignored.  
With this keyboard, messages received over MIDI Channels  
1, 2, 3, 4, and 10 can be used for multi-timbre play of up to  
five different instrument parts. The tone and volume settings  
for these five channels must be controlled by messages sent  
from an external device.  
When sending operation of this keyboard to an external de-  
vice, Channel 1 should be selected as the MIDI send channel.

from the TV or radio.  
Do not use lacquer, thinner or similar chemicals for cleaning.  
Clean the keyboard with a soft cloth dampened in a weak solution of water and a neutral detergent. Soak the cloth in the solution  
and squeeze until it is almost dry.  
Avoid use in areas subjected to temperature extremes.  
Extreme heat can cause figures on the LCD screen to become dim and difficult to read. This condition should correct itself when  
the keyboard is brought back to normal temperature.  
NOTE  
You may notice lines in the finish of the case of this keyboard. These lines are a result of the molding process used to shape the plastic  
of the case. They are not cracks or breaks in the plastic, and are no cause for concern.
