General Guide

E-6

This section explains the contents of the Digital Keyboard’s

display screen.

1Detailed information area

This area displays a variety of information while the Digital

Keyboard is being used. Use this area to confirm proper

operation when changing values, when selecting a menu

item, and when performing other operations.

2Level meter area

This level meter shows the volume level of the notes that

are sounded when you play something on the keyboard or

when Auto Accompaniment is played. There are a total of

32 parts, 16 each in Group A and Group B. The L

indicator will be displayed in the lower left corner while

Group A parts are being indicated by the level meter, while

the M indicator will be displayed in the lower left corner

while Group B parts are being indicated.

For details about parts, see “How Parts are Organized”

(page E-38).

3Indicator areas

The indicator area shows such information as the current

mode (page E-7), the status of settings, the status of Auto

Accompaniment, and other information.

There are two types of indicators: text type indicators such

as :, and pointer (K) type indicators. In the case of

pointer type indicators, a setting or status is indicated by

the location of the K next to fixed text along the sides of the

display. For example, the location of the pointer (K) on the

right side of the display in the sample below indicates

REVERB.

4Registration bank area

This area shows the number of the currently selected

registration bank (page E-61).

5Chord area

This area shows the chord being played when Auto

Accompaniment (page E-26) or music preset (page E-49)

is being used. It also can display fraction chords by

showing the chord root (C, G, etc.) and type (m, 7th, etc.).

6Tempo, measure, beat area

Tempo is shown as the current setting value, as beats per

minute. Auto Accompaniment, the metronome (page

E-19), and other playback is performed at the tempo

shown here. The MEASURE and BEAT values are

counted up as Auto Accompaniment, the metronome, or

other playback progresses.

The item that is currently selected on a display screen is

indicated by thick brackets (%) and by a large dot (0). The

currently selected item is the one that is affected by the R-14

(–, +) buttons or dial operations.

On this screen, “RHYTHM” is selected because it is enclosed

by thick brackets. This indicates that the rhythm setting can be

changed.

On this screen, “Touch” is selected because the 0 is next to

it. This indicates that the value to the right of “Touch”, which is

enclosed in thick brackets, can be changed.

Reading the Display

Currently Selected Item Indication

General Guide

E-7

Your Digital Keyboard has three modes: a rhythm mode, a

card mode, and a song sequencer mode. The currently

selected mode is shown as an indicator on the display.

•Rhythm mode (: indicator displayed)

Under its initial factory default settings, the Digital Keyboard

enters the rhythm mode whenever it is turned on. The

rhythm mode is the base mode, and it is the mode you

should enter when you want to play on the keyboard or use

Auto Accompaniment.

• Card mode (; indicator displayed)

Enter the card mode when you want to perform memory

card operations. See “Using a Memory Card” (page E-131)

for more information.

– In the rhythm mode, pressing the C-9 (CARD) button will

enter the card mode.

– In the card mode, pressing the C-9 (CARD) button or the

R-15 (EXIT) button will return to the rhythm mode.

• Song sequencer mode (< indicator displayed)

Enter the sequencer mode when you want to record

performances using the keyboard and Auto

Accompaniment, or to play back song data. For details, see

“Using the Song Sequencer” (page E-63).

– In the rhythm mode, pressing the C-5 (SONG

SEQUENCER) button will enter the song sequencer

mode.

– In the song sequencer mode, pressing the C-5 (SONG

SEQUENCER) button or the R-15 (EXIT) button will

return to the rhythm mode.

• After entering any mode besides the rhythm mode and

performing the operations you want, be sure to return

to the rhythm mode.

• Unless otherwise specifically noted, all of the

operations described in this user’s guide are

performed in the rhythm mode.

You can use the same operations to display mode and

function specific menus. To display a menu, hold down the

R-13 (FUNCTION) button as you press the C-17 (MENU)

button. For example, the “Performance” menu shown below

will appear if you perform the above operation while in the

rhythm mode. This menu provides instant access to

performance functions.

• The currently selected item is the one with the 0 next to it.

You can use the R-17 (t, y) buttons to move the 0 up

Your Digital Keyboard is equipped with a song sequencer and

other features that you can use to store data you create. This

stored data is retained even when the Digital Keyboard is

turned off.*

However, the tone, rhythm, and other settings you configure

on the Digital Keyboard’s console normally are returned to

their initial power on defaults whenever you turn off power.

You can configure the Digital Keyboard so it remembers its

latest setup or to apply a predetermined default setup each

time you turn it on. For details, see “AutoResume (Auto

Resume)” (page E-129) and “Default (Default Settings)”

(page E-129).

*The following data and settings are always retained even

when power is turned off.

– Registration setup data (page E-61)

– Song sequencer data (page E-63)

– User rhythm data (page E-98)

– User preset data (page E-53)

– User tone data (page E-44)

– Scale fine tuning setting (page E-23)

– User DSP data (page E-35)

– LCD Contrast setting (page E-128)

– Auto Resume setting (page E-129)

You can delete all data in keyboard memory and return all

keyboard parameters to their initial factory default settings.

For details, see “To initialize all data and settings (or

parameter settings only)” (page E-130).

Using the Mixer

The sound source of this Digital Keyboard is capable of

sounding up to 32 individual parts simultaneously. Each part

can be controlled individually, and each part can be

configured to sound a different musical instrument. Different

tones can be assigned to each part when using layer and split

to sound multiple tones at the same time, and to sound

multiple instruments at the same time with Auto

Accompaniment.

The mixer can be used to assign such tones and to configure

other settings for each part, and to configure global effect

settings applied to all parts. The mixer provides you with the

means to make fine adjustments to a wide variety of settings,

from note generation to note output.

This Digital Keyboard has a total of 32 parts: A01 through

A16, and B01 through B16. Each part has a specific purpose.

Use the table below as a reference to determine the purpose

of each part when using the mixer to configure the settings of

a part.

Using the Tone Editor

You can create a user tone by editing one of the built-in preset

tones.

The preset tones built into this Digital Keyboard consist of a

number of parameters. To create a user tone, you first recall a

preset tone (A:001 through K:128) and then modify its

parameters to change it to your own original tone.

Note that drum set sounds (K:129 through K:147) cannot be

used as the basis of a user tone.

The illustration nearby shows the parameters that make up

the preset tones, and what each parameter does. As can be

seen in the illustration, parameters can be divided into four

groups, each of which is described in detail below.

•Tone Setting

Specifies which of the preset tones should be used as the

original tone.

These parameters control how the tone changes over time,

from when the keyboard key is pressed until the tone decays.

You can specify changes in volume and sound

characteristics.

• Attack time

This is the rate or time it takes for the tone to reach its highest

volume level. You can specify a fast rate, where the tone

reaches its highest volume level immediately, a slow rate

where it gradually rises, or something in between.

• Release time

This is the rate or time it takes for the tone volume to fall to

zero after a keyboard key is released. You can specify a

release that ranges from a sudden fall to zero, to one that

gradually falls to zero.

Music Presets

Music presets provide one-touch access to Auto

Accompaniment, tone, reverb, and other settings that are

configured in accordance with preset chord progressions. A

total of 305 presets let you easily configure the keyboard for a

wide variety of different musical styles. Chord progressions

include both short loops of a few measures that are great for

improvisation, as well as progressions for entire songs. Chord

progressions are also fun just to listen to.

In addition to built-in presets, you can create your own original

music presets (user presets). You can record chord

progressions up to 999 measures long, which provides plenty

of versatility for long songs.

Music presets are divided among six groups, each of which

corresponds to one of the RHYTHM buttons from [A] through

[F]. Groups [A] through [E] are built-in preset groups, while

Group [F] is the user preset group.

Refer to the separate “Appendix” to find the

music preset you want to use, and note its

group and number.

While holding down the L-7 ([D] ARABIC/

ORIENTAL) button, press the L-8 ([E] PIANO

RHYTHMS) button.

• This displays the music preset screen like the one

shown below.

• The D indicator will be flashing on the display.

This indicates that play with a preset chord progression

is enabled.

• Depending on the music preset you selected, the

The simplest use of the song sequencer is to record a

performance as you play it. For details, see “To use EASY

REC to record” (page E-63). Virtually everything you play on

the keyboard can be recorded by the song sequencer.

You also can use the song sequencer to perform multi-track

recording of 17 different tracks and assemble them into a final

song. For example, you can first record a piano track, followed

by a bass track, then a guitar track or tracks that feature other

musical instruments.

A single song can be made up of up to 17 tracks. The 17

tracks are broken down as shown in the table below.

• The Digital Keyboard uses multiple parts simultaneously to

sound Auto Accompaniment, a keyboard layer tone, and

keyboard split tone at the same time. The system track is

used to record the notes of these parts in a single location.

• Tracks 01 through 16 each correspond to a single musical

instrument part. Each track is used to record the notes of

each individual part.

• The parts shown in the table above correspond to mixer

parts. For details, see “Using the Mixer” (page E-38).

• Part B10 is a drum sound only part.

Press the L-17 (START/STOP) button.

• This starts punch-in playback.

• The following operations are supported during punch-in

playback. They help you move to the re-recording start

point quickly and easily.

When playback reaches the point from which

you want to start re-recording, start playing

something on the keyboard.

• Punch-in recording starts the moment you start to play

something on the keyboard.

• Any one of the following also will start punch-in

recording: a pedal or pitch bender operation; changing

the tone setting; changing the rhythm, or tempo

setting*.

• To start punch-in recording without making any change

in the notes played or the settings used, press the C-6

(RECORD) button.

• Starting recording will cause the C-6 (RECORD) button

to light.

• If you want to delete all of the data in the track following the

section you just re-recorded with punch-in recording, press

the C-6 (RECORD) button in place of the L-17 (START/

STOP) button in step 8.

• If you want to cancel punch-in recording and retain the

original track data, hold down the C-6 (RECORD) button

until it becomes unlit.

To stop recording, press the L-17 (START/

STOP) button.

• This will end punch-in recording and cause the C-6

(RECORD) button to become unlit.

• Any previously recorded data in the track that comes

after the point you stopped punch-in recording will

remain in the track.

Play the song and determine what part of what

track you want to re-record.

• For details about play back, see “Playing a Recorded

Song” (page E-74).

• You can specify a specific measure, beat, and tick* for

the start point and the end point of the range to be

re-recorded. Normally, it is probably best to specify the

start of a measure or beat as the start point and end

point. If you want to specify specific ticks, you can

display the track to be re-recorded on the event editor

screen and determine the desired location there. For

details about event editing, see “Editing Events” (page

E-82).

*For details about ticks, see “Reading Event Data”

(page E-83).

Press the C-6 (RECORD) button to enter record

standby.

• This causes the button to start flashing.

Use the R-17 (u, i) buttons to select the track

you want to partially re-record.

forward and fast backward operations during punch-in

playback using the operations described in step 6

under “To start re-recording from a particular location

during playback (Manual Punch-in)” (page E-71).

• You can start punch-in playback from one measure

prior to the current recording start point by pressing the

L-13 (REPEAT) button which causes the ?

indicator to appear on the display.

When playback reaches the re-record point you

specified, start playing something on the

keyboard.

• Punch-in recording will start automatically when

playback reaches the record start point you specified.

The C-6 (RECORD) button will light when recording

starts.

• Recording stops and punch-in recording is exited

automatically when the record end point you specified

is reached. At this time the C-6 (RECORD) button will

become unlit.

• If you want to stop recording before the record end

point you specified is reached, press the L-17 (START/

STOP) button. Any previously recorded data in the

track that comes after the point you stopped punch-in

recording will remain in the track.

• When “EOT” (End of Track) is selected for the

recording start point, the start point for punch-in

recording is the end of the track.

• When “OFF” is selected for the recording end point,

punch-in recording will not stop automatically because

no end point is specified. To stop punch-in recording in

this case, press the L-17 (START/STOP) button.

The event editor screen displays the individual events that

make up a song as values and characters as shown in the

sample screen below.

The event editor screen shows three events at one time. The

event in the middle line is the selected event. You can change

the value where the solid-line cursor is located. A broken line

under a setting value indicates that the cursor can be moved

to that value.

■Reading Event Data

Here we will use two types of event displays to explain how to

read event data.

• Example 1: Note event

• Example 2: Pitch bender event

The following explains the meaning of each screen position.

Number Description

For all event types, indicates the even location

(timing) in the following format:

measure:beat:tick. A “tick” is a time unit that is

shorter than one beat. Song sequencer data uses

96 ticks per beat (for 2/4 to 8/4) or 48 ticks per

beat (for 2/8 to 16/8).

For almost all events, this position shows an

abbreviation indicating the event type. “Bend” in

display example (2) stands for “pitch bender

event”. Note events (display example (1)) and

chord events are different in that this position

shows the event parameter (note name for a note

event, root for a chord event) setting value.

For information about what is displayed at this

position and the corresponding event type, see

the “Event Data List” (page E-84).

This position shows parameter setting values that

corresponds to the event type. When an event

has multiple parameters, use the R-17 (u, i)

buttons to move the cursor, which will scroll the

display between the parameters. The name of the

parameter at the current cursor position will be

displayed in position 4.

This position indicates where the cursor is

currently located as “MEAS.” (measure), “BEAT”

(beat), or “TICK” (tick).

Using the Pattern Sequencer

You can use the pattern sequencer to create accompaniment

patterns that sound while using the Digital Keyboard’s Auto

Accompaniment function and store them as user rhythms.

Each of the Digital Keyboard’s rhythms provides six different

accompaniment patterns named INTRO, NORMAL, NORMAL

FILL-IN, VARIATION, VARIATION FILL-IN, and ENDING.

Each accompaniment pattern can be made up of eight

instrument parts (drums, percussion, bass, and chord 1

through chord 5).

The overall configuration of a single rhythm is as shown

below.

The pattern sequencer is a function that allows editing and

creation of the various accompaniment patterns that make up

a single rhythm, part-by-part. You can record each part of all

of the accompaniment patterns from scratch to create a

completely original new rhythm. You also can partially edit an

existing rhythm (by, for example, editing only one of the parts

of an accompaniment pattern) or simply modify its mixer

settings if you want.

You can use the pattern sequencer to record keyboard play

(note data), PITCH BEND wheel (S-1) operations, and S-2

(MODULATION) button operations.

As a general rule, pattern sequencer editing operations are

performed on an instrument part basis. The pattern sequencer

maintains special memory areas called “rec areas” for each

instrument part during rhythm editing. These areas are used

when recording keyboard notes.

When editing with the pattern sequencer, there may be

previously existing rhythm data remaining for some of the

instrument parts, which will make it impossible to use the rec

areas. The status of an instrument part that still contains

previously existing rhythm data is “Fix Data”.

You can use the pattern sequencer screen to check whether

the currently selected instrument part is in the rec area or if it

is “Fix Data”.

You can display the pattern sequencer screen by pressing the

C-4 (PATTERN SEQUENCER) button. This will display the

pattern sequencer editing screen for the currently selected

rhythm (preset rhythm or previously stored user rhythm). The

initial screen shows the drum part of the NORMAL

accompaniment pattern of the rhythm being edited. Note “Fix

Data” in the lower left corner. This is the current status of the

currently displayed instrument part.

of user rhythms. You can have up to 100 user rhythms stored

in memory at one time. You can recall a stored user rhythm by

pressing the L-9 ([F] USER RHYTHMS) button. See “Playing

an Auto Accompaniment” (page E-26) for more information.

This section explains the various methods you can use to

create user rhythms.

■Editing One or More Parts of an Existing Rhythm

With this procedure, you edit an existing preset rhythm or

previously stored user rhythm to create a new rhythm.

With this method, you can select and edit (or record anew)

specific parts of an existing accompaniment pattern and store

the result.

The following is the general flow for this method.

*You cannot edit the INTRO or ENDING of an

accompaniment pattern of an existing rhythm.

For full details about this procedure, see “To rehearse before

editing an existing rhythm” (page E-99) and “To edit an

existing rhythm” (page E-102).

When this is

displayed: It means this:

Fix Data

(Fixed Data)

Instrument part data from a preset

rhythm or user rhythm. The only

settings that can be edited for an

instrument part with this status are

mixer settings. Real-time recording of

keyboard notes and event editing are

not allowed.

Recorded Data

(Recorded Data)

Instrument part is being edited using a

rec area, and recorded data is

contained in the rec area. Mixer

settings, real-time recording of

keyboard notes, and event editing are

allowed for an instrument part with this

status.

Empty

(No data)

Instrument part is being edited using a

rec area, but there is no recorded data

in the rec area (rec area empty). Mixer

settings, real-time recording of

keyboard notes, and event editing are

allowed for an instrument part with this

status.

User Rhythm Numbers

Creating a User Rhythm

■Replacing the Accompaniment Patterns of an

Existing Rhythm with New Recordings

With this procedure, you re-record one or more of the

accompaniment patterns of an existing preset rhythm or

previously stored user rhythm to create a new rhythm.

In this case, you clear all of the rec areas included in an

accompaniment pattern and then create new recordings of

each part of the accompaniment pattern. Use this method, for

example, when you want to create only a new INTRO

accompaniment pattern for an existing rhythm.

The following is the general flow for this method.

For full details about this procedure, see “To create a new

accompaniment pattern” (page E-104).

■Newly Recording All Accompaniment Patterns of

a Rhythm

With this procedure, you create a new rhythm from scratch,

without using an existing rhythm.

The following is the general flow for this method.

For full details about this procedure, see “To create a new

rhythm from scratch” (page E-106).

Select the rhythm you want to edit in order to

create your user rhythm.

Press the C-4 (PATTERN SEQUENCER) button.

• This displays the pattern sequencer screen.

Clear all of the rec areas of the accompaniment pattern

you want to record anew.

Use the rec menu to configure settings related to

accompaniment pattern recording.

The pattern sequencer records the keyboard, pitch bender,

and modulation operations recorded for each instrument part

as “events”. Playing a note on the keyboard, for example,

stores the following as events: note start measure, beat, and

tick, note pitch, note length, and note intensity.

The following editing operations are supported for individual

events.

• Deleting events

• Inserting events

• Copying events within a specific range to a desired location

• Quantizing* note events

• Deleting pitch bender events

• Adjusting note event velocity values

• Adjusting note event gate time values

• Selecting the type of events that appear on the Event Editor

screen (View Select)

• Directly inputting note events (step input)

*Quantize is an operation that automatically adjusts the note

on timing of a note event to match a reference note.

• You can perform event editing on an instrument part

whose status (page E-98) is “Recorded Data” or

“Empty”. You cannot configure part parameters for an

instrument part whose status is “Fix Data”.

• Though you cannot perform event editing directly on

an instrument part whose status is “Fix Data”, you can

copy such an instrument part to a rec area and edit the

copied data. For details about the copy operation, see

“To copy preset or user rhythm instrument part data to

a rec area” (page E-114).

(1) While [RHYTHM] is displayed on the EASY EDIT

screen, specify the number of the rhythm you want to

assign to the instrument part of the selected

accompaniment pattern.

Settings are configured using the same procedures as

those for rhythm selection. Perform steps 1, 2, and 3

under “Playing an Auto Accompaniment” (page E-26).

Specifying rhythm number F:101 at this time makes it

possible to assign the rhythm data currently being

edited with the pattern sequencer.

(2) Configure the mixer settings of the selected

accompaniment pattern instrument part as desired.

• For details about mixer setting operations, see step

5 under “To edit an existing rhythm” (page E-102).

Editing Individual Events

(Event Editor)

Using the Pattern Sequencer

E-109

The event editor screen shows the individual events recorded

to an instrument part as shown in the sample screen below.

• The event editor screen shows three events at one time.

The event in the middle line is the selected event. You can

change the value where the solid-line cursor is located. A

broken line under a setting value indicates that the cursor

can be moved to that value.

• The values in the format “001:01:00” at the beginning of the

event indicate the recording location (timing) of the event as

measure:beat:tick. A “tick” is a time unit that is shorter than

one beat. Pattern sequencer data uses 96 ticks per beat

(for 2/4 to 8/4) or 48 ticks per beat (for 2/8 to 16/8).

Pattern sequencer records three types of events: notes

(keyboard play), pitch bender operations, and modulation

operations. These events are represented on the screen as

described below.

●Notes

The note name is indicated to the right of the event location

information, followed by the gate time (note length), and

velocity (note speed) parameters. 1 shows an abbreviation of

the parameter name where the cursor is currently located.

●Pitch bender, modulation

“Bend” (pitch bender even) or “Mod” (modulation event) is

indicated to the right of the event location information,

followed by parameter value. “VALU” is displayed at 1 when

the cursor is located at a parameter value.

■Table (Chord conversion table)

Recording of each accompaniment pattern is normally performed using C major (root of C, major type).* When playing an Auto

Accompaniment, you can use a root other than C and a chord type other than major, if you want. This is accomplished by using a

“chord conversion table” to convert the C major recorded data to another root and/or chord type. Regardless of what root or chord

type you specify, the currently selected chord table is used to make corrections to suit the instrument parts and the type of music

being played in order to ensure musically natural accompaniment.

*Depending on the rec menu “PlayChord” setting. For details, see “To configure pattern rec settings (Rec Menu)” (page E-101).

With this parameter, you can select from among the 19 types of chord conversion tables listed below.

Pattern Sequencer Part Parameters

Number Table Name Accompaniment

Pattern Parts Description

01 Bass Basic *1Bass Normally used for a bass part.

02 Bass f-root *1Bass Variation of number 01. Always makes the first note the root

note when changing chords.

03 Bass 7th *1Bass Used for a bass part recorded with a 7th chord.

04 Bass 7th f-root *1Bass Variation of number 03. Always makes the first note the root

note when changing chords.

05 Chord Basic *1Chord Normally used for a chord part.

06 Chord Var2 *1Chord Used for a chord part that has a tension chord.

07 Chord Var3 *1Chord

When a 7th chord is specified while playing, the 5th note is

converted to a 7th note. In the case of C7, for example, G

becomes Bb.

08 Chord Var4 *1Chord Variation of number 05 (Chord Basic).

09 Chord 7th *1Chord Used for a chord part recorded with a 7th chord.

10 Chord Minor *1Chord Used for a chord part recorded with a minor chord.

11 Phrase *1Chord Used for the chord part to which a phrase (such as a major

scale) was recorded.

12 Chord Minor *1Bass Used for a bass part recorded with a minor chord.

13 Chord Minor f-root *1Bass Variation of number 12. Always makes the first note the root

note when changing chords.

14 Penta Phrase *1Chord Used for a chord part recorded with a pentatonic scale phrase.

15 Intro n-minor *2Bass/chord When a minor chord is specified while playing, converts to a

natural minor.

16 Intro m-minor *2Bass/chord When a minor chord is specified while playing, converts to a

melodic minor (ascending).

17 Intro h-minor *2Bass/chord When a minor chord is specified while playing, converts to a

harmonic minor.

18 Intro no Change *2Bass/chord Recording of original as-is, with no minor/major conversion in

accordance with chord specified while playing.

19 Intro dorian *2Bass/chord When a minor chord is specified while playing, converts to a

dorian scale.

*2 For INTRO and ENDING

Using the Pattern Sequencer

E-113

■BreakPoint (Break Point)

This parameter specifies the key, from C to B, that is the point

at which Auto Accompaniment bass and chord notes drop one

octave.

For example when F is specified as the break point, a C major

chord recorded as C3E3G3 (CEG) becomes D3F#3A3 (DF#A

raised one note each) when D is fingered on the chord

keyboard, E3G#3B3 (EG#B raised one note each) when E is

fingered, and F2A2C3 (FAC dropped one octave) when F is

fingered.

■Invert (Inversion)

This parameter specifies whether or not chords during Auto

Accompaniment play should mirror inverted forms of the

original chord (EGC and GCE for CEG).

For example, let’s say that the original recorded C major

chord is CEG and an F chord is fingered on the chord

keyboard. If “oFF” is selected for this setting, the chord will be

directly converted to FAC. If “on” (or “7th”) is selected, the

chord will be converted to CFA, which is the inverted form that

is nearest to CEG. The transition of chord notes during

playback when “on” (or “7th”) is selected is smaller, so

accompaniment sounds more natural.

Note that you should select “7th” in place of “on” only if “C7”

was specified for the “PlayChord” setting when recording the

accompaniment pattern and if you selected “09 (Chord 7th)”

for the chord conversion table.

*“PlayChord” is a rec menu setting. For details, see “To

configure pattern rec settings (Rec Menu)” (page E-101).

• When selecting “on” (or “7th”) for this setting, make sure

that you select “C” for the “BreakPoint” (Break Point)

setting.

■Retrigger (Retrigger)

This parameter specifies how accompaniment pattern play is

affected by a chord change that occurs part way through a

pattern.

When “on” is selected, the pattern “retriggers,” which causes

the currently playing note to change to the corresponding note

of the newly fingered chord. When “oFF” is selected, a chord

change causes the currently sounding note to be cut off, and

the next note of the pattern of the newly fingered chord to be

played.

■BendRange (Bend Range)

This parameter specifies the bend range for pitch bender

operation in semitone steps

While the pattern sequencer screen is

displayed, use buttons L-13 (INTRO) through

L-16 (SYNCHRO/ENDING) to select the

accompaniment pattern you want.

• The rec areas of the instrument parts included in the

accompaniment pattern you select here are the ones

that can be cleared by this procedure.

Recording and Playing Audio

All of the sound output by the Digital Keyboard can be recorded as

audio files on a memory card. The maximum recording time for a

single audio file is approximately 13 minutes. You can have up to

five audio files recorded on a single memory card.

• To perform the operations described in this section, you

will need to obtain a commercially available SD memory

card or SDHC memory card with a capacity between 2GB

and 32GB (page E-131).

• The audio recording operation performs memory card

delete and write operations simultaneously. Because of

this, you may not be able to record correctly on certain

types of memory cards. If you experience recording

problems, try changing the file number of the recording or

try using a different memory card.

With audio recording, you can record sound output by the Digital

Keyboard as digital sampling data. Recordings are stored on the

memory card as an audio file.

■Recording of Keyboard Play and Song Playback

The following can be recorded as-is.

• Rhythm mode keyboard play

You can record a keyboard performance that uses layer and

split, as well as Auto Accompaniment and music preset.

Registration setup recall, effect operations, and mixer

operations are also supported during recording.

• Song sequencer song playback

A song recorded with the song sequencer can be recorded to a

memory card file as it is played back. Most Digital Keyboard

operations that are supported during song playback are also

supported during recording to a memory card file.

■Recording of Sound Input from an External Device

Sound input from an external device connected to the Digital

Keyboard’s T-8 (MIC IN) jack or T-5 (INST IN) jack is recorded

along with notes played on the Digital Keyboard and sound that is

played back on the Digital Keyboard.

For details about the routes used for output of sound from this

Digital Keyboard’s built-in sound source and output of sound from

an external sound source, see the block diagram under

“Configuration of Effects” (page E-31).

• Input from the Digital Keyboard’s T-6 (AUDIO IN) jack is not

recorded.

This Digital Keyboard supports playback of audio files recorded by

it, as well as audio files that you converted on a computer to a

format supported by the Digital Keyboard.* You also can play

along on the keyboard during playback.

*Special application software (Data Manager) is required in

You can use the special application software (Data Manager) to

access audio files in Digital Keyboard memory from a computer.

You can save audio files directly to the computer’s local disk and

convert audio files to a format that is supported by the Digital

Keyboard. For details, see “Storing and Loading Digital Keyboard

Memory Data” (page E-141).

The following operations are not possible during audio recording

and playback.

• User rhythm editing (page E-98)

• User tone editing (page E-45)

• User DSP data editing (page E-35)

• User preset editing (page E-53)

• Song sequencer recording and editing (page E-63)

• Registration setup save (page E-61)

• Card mode operations (page E-132)

Some other operations other than those listed above may also be

disabled.

• Do not touch a memory card loaded in the Digital Keyboard

while recording or playback is in progress. This can cause

operational problems due to electrostatic charge and creates

the risk of making the card unusable. Before touching the

loaded memory card, first stop any ongoing recording or

playback operation.

• Formatting a memory card on the Digital Keyboard will reserve

space for audio recording, which will reduce the total capacity

of the memory card by approximately 640MB. Using a

computer to open a memory card that has been formatted on

the Digital Keyboard will show this reduced capacity, even if

there are no files on the card. This is normal and does not

indicate malfunction of the memory card.

Card and Card Slot Precautions

Using a Memory Card

E-132

• The message “Please Wait” will remain on the display while

a data save operation is in progress. Do not perform any

other operation while it is displayed.

Turning off the Digital Keyboard or removing the memory

card can cause Digital Keyboard data to be deleted or

become corrupted. It also can cause the Digital Keyboard

to fail to turn on when the L-1 (POWER) button is pressed.

If this happens, refer to “Troubleshooting” (page E-145).

• Never insert anything besides a memory card into the card

slot. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction.

• Electrostatic charge from your fingers or the memory card

to the card slot can cause malfunction of the Digital

Keyboard. If this happens, turn the Digital Keyboard off and

then back on again.

• A memory card can become quite warm after very long use

in the card slot. This is normal and does not indicate

malfunction.

• A memory card must be positioned correctly when

being loaded into the Digital Keyboard. Trying to force

an improperly oriented memory card into the slot can

damage the memory card and the slot.

With the top of the memory card facing

upwards (so you can see it), carefully insert it

into the Digital Keyboard’s SD card slot (T-1)

until stops with a click.

To remove the memory card first press it into

the slot further.

• This will cause the memory card to disengage and eject

partially. Pull the memory card the rest of the way out of

the slot.

Enter the card mode when you want to perform memory card

operations.

• While in the rhythm mode (page E-7) press the C-9 (CARD)

button to enter the card mode.

This will cause the : indicator to disappear from the

display and the ; indicator to appear.

If the message “No Card” appears on the display, it means

there is no memory card in the card slot. For details about

what appears on the display while a card is loaded, see

“Playing a Music File from a Memory Card” (page E-137).

• To exit the card mode, press the C-9 (CARD) button again.

This will cause the ; indicator to disappear from the

display and the : indicator to appear.

• Format a memory card before using it for the first time.

• Before formatting a memory card, make sure it does

not have any valuable data stored on it.

• The memory card format operation performed by this

Digital Keyboard is a “quick format”. If you want to

completely delete all of the data on the memory card,

format it on your computer or some other device.

Insert the memory card you want to format into

the Digital Keyboard’s card slot.

• Make sure the memory card is write-enabled. Check

the position of the card’s write-protect switch to ensure

it is not in the write-protect position.

Press the C-9 (CARD) button to enter the card

mode.

You can transfer rhythm data from other models by loading it

from a memory card, or by using Data Manager to transfer the

data from a computer to Digital Keyboard memory. For

information about actual operations, see “Importing Data from

Various Storage Media” (page E-142).

• Use of a memory card with a capacity that is less than 2GB

is not supported. If you want to use other model rhythm

data that is on a memory card with capacity less than 2GB,

you need either to copy the data to a supported memory

card on the Digital Keyboard, or use Data Manager to

transfer the data from a computer to the Digital Keyboard.

For more information, see “Importing Data from Various

Storage Media” (page E-142). Also note that rhythm data

from some models needs to be converted before it can be

used on this Digital Keyboard. For more information, see

“Rhythm Data Compatibility” (page E-141).

The procedure you need to use to import or transfer rhythm

data to Digital Keyboard memory depends on the media

(computer local disk, memory card) where the data is

currently stored. This section explains each of the required

procedures.

All of the Digital Keyboard’s preset DSPs belong to one of the DSP types shown in the table below. When creating a user DSP

(page E-35) or when using the tone editor (page E-44) to edit the DSP applied to a tone, you need to select one of the DSP types

in the table.

• Type numbers 01 through 14 are single type DSPs, while numbers 15 through 46 are dual type DSPs. A single type DSP is one

with a single structure, while a dual type is a combination of two single type DSPs.

• The name of a dual DSP is formed by its two constituent single DSP names, in the order that they are applied. For example, type

15 named “Wah-Compressor” connects in line to “Wah” and “Compressor”, in that sequence.

• For details about parameters that can be configured with each DSP type, refer to the sections shown in the table below.

■Single Type DSP Parameters

01: Wah

This is a “wah” effect that can automatically affect the

frequency using an LFO.

Parameters and Value Ranges:

1 :Resonance

(0 to 127)

Adjusts the strength of resonance.

2 :Manual

(0 to 127)

Adjusts the wah filter reference frequency.

3:LFO Rate

(0 to 127)

Adjusts the time from the point the input signal drops

below a certain level until the compression operation is

stopped. When an attack feeling is desired (no

compression at the onset of sound), set this parameter to

as low a value as possible. To have compression applied

at all times, set a high value.

■Dual Type DSP Parameters

Dual type DSPs are configured by combining two different

single type DSPs. Use the procedure below to determine what

parameters that can be configured for each dual type DSP,

and the operation, and setting ranges of dual type DSPs.

Example: Type number 29: Distortion-Wah

1. The DSP type name has two parts: a left side part and a

right side part.

Distortion-Wah 3 “Distortion” and “Wah”

2. Find out what parameters you can configure by looking up

the left side part of a dual type DSP in the “Type Name”

column of the table below.

3. Find the same type names in the table under “Single Type

DSP Parameters” on pages E-152 through E-154, and note

the operation and setting ranges of the items that are the

same as those shown in the “Configurable Parameters”

column of the above table.

4. Next, repeat steps 2 and 3 above for the right side part of

the dual type DSP parameter name.

• In our “Distortion-Wah” example, the left side part of the

name is “Distortion” so we can see in the above table

that “Gain” and “Level” parameters can be configured.

You can find out about the operations and setting ranges

of “Gain” and “Level” by referring to “03: Distortion” on

page E-152.

• The parameter numbers that appear on the parameter

setting screen start from 1, and the number is

incremented for each successive parameter.

The parameter numbers of our “Distortion-Wah” example

would be as shown below.

1: Gain

2: Level

3: LFO Waveform

4: LFO Rate

5: LFO Depth

In addition to the chords that can be fingered with Fingered 1

and Fingered 2, the following chords also are recognized.

• With Fingered 3, the lowest note fingered is interpreted as

the base note. Inverted forms are not supported.

• With Full Range Chord, when the lowest note fingered is a

certain distance from the neighboring note, the chord is

interpreted as a fraction chord.

• Unlike Fingered 1, 2, and 3, Full Range Chord requires

pressing of at least three keys to form a chord.
