3-Step Lesson

E-32

3-Step Lesson

The 3-step lesson feature takes you through the three distinct

steps described below to help you learn to play tunes on the

keyboard.

JStep 1 – Master the timing.

In this step, pressing any key on the keyboard plays the

correct note, so you can concentrate on getting the timing

right without worrying about playing the right note. The sub-

melody (obbligato) waits until you press a key before

proceeding to the next phrase.

JStep 2 – Master the melody.

In this step, you use the display to learn which fingers you

should use and how loud or soft to play, and the key light

system to learn which keyboard keys to press. The sub-

melody (obbligato) waits until your play the correct note, so

you can learn at your own pace.

JStep 3 – Play at normal speed.

This is where you enjoy actually playing the tunes you learn

using Step 1 and Step 2. The key light system still shows you

which keyboard keys to press, but accompaniment proceeds

at normal speed regardless of whether or not you play the

correct notes.

There are two types of tunes in the Song Bank: Auto

Accompaniment tunes and two-hand accompaniment tunes.

The parts available for 3-step lesson practice depend on the

type of tune you are using.

JAuto Accompaniment Tunes (Numbers 00 through

69)

As their name suggests, these tunes are made up of an Auto

Accompaniment part and a melody part. When using these

tunes for a 3-step lesson, you can practice playing along with

the melody (right hand) part only.

JTwo-hand Tunes (Numbers 70 through 99)

These types of tunes are played with both hands, as in a piano

solo. When using these tunes for a 3-step lesson, you can

practice playing along with both the left hand and right hand

parts.

Whenever you select an Auto Accompaniment tune (00 to 69)

for 3-step lesson play, the key lighting system shows you

which keys to press, while the display shows you the notes

and their fingerings.

JNote Pitch

The keyboard key that should be pressed lights, while the

actual pitch of the note appears in the display’s staff notation

area. The fingers you should use to play the notes are also

shown on the display.

JNote Length

Keyboard keys stay lit for as long as the note should be

played. The staff notation and fingerings also remain on the

display for the length of the note.

JNext Note

The keyboard key for the next note to be played flashes, while

a number appears on the display near the finger you should

use to play the next note.

JSeries of Same Pitch Notes

The keyboard key light turns off momentarily between the

notes and lights again for each successive note. The staff

notation and fingerings also turn off and back on again.

Note length is not indicated when you are using two-hand

tunes (70 to 99) with 3-step lesson Steps 1 and 2. As soon

as you press a lit key, it goes out and the next key to be

played starts to flash.

Note length is indicated by the key light system when you

use a two-hand tune with Step 3. In this case, the next key

to be pressed does not flash when you press a lit key and

the next finger number does not appear on the display.

Only the current finger number is shown.

Use the procedure under “Adjusting the Tempo” on page

E-22 to adjust the tempo for 3-step lesson play.

1. Select the Song Bank tune you want to use.

2. Press the STEP 1 button to start Step 1 play.

Accompaniment (left-hand part) waits until you

press any key to play a note.

If you accidentally press more than one key in

succession, accompaniment is played for the

corresponding number of notes.

Pressing more than one key at the same time

counts as a single melody note. Pressing a key

while another key is held down is counted as two

melody notes.

4. To stop play at any time, press the STOP or

START/STOP button.

Left hand practice can also be performed with two-hand

tunes (70 to 99). Simply select one of the two-hand tunes

Song Memory Function

E-36

Song Memory Function

You can store up to two separate songs in song memory for

later playback. There are two methods you can use to record

a song: real-time recording where you record the notes as you

play them on the keyboard, and step recording where you

input chords and notes one-by-one.

The song memory of this keyboard records and plays back

notes much like a standard tape recorder. There are two

tracks, each of which can be recorded separately. Besides

notes, each track can be assigned its own tone number.

During playback you can adjust the tempo to change the

speed of playback.

Track 1 is the basic track, which can be used to record Auto

Accompaniment along with the melody. Track 2 can be

used for melody only, and is for adding to what is recorded

in Track 1.

Note that each track is independent of the other. This

means that if you make a mistake while recording, you

need to re-record only the track where the mistake was

made.

Each press of the SONG MEMORY button cycles through the

functions shown below.

Press the LEFT/TRACK 1 button to select Track 1 and the

RIGHT/TRACK 2 button to select Track 2. The letter “L” (left)

appears on the display to indicate Track 1 is selected, and the

letter “R” (right) appears to indicate Track 2 is selected.

JPlayback

Each press of the LEFT/TRACK 1 and RIGHT/TRACK 2

button while the keyboard is in playback standby (see “Song

Memory Button Operation” above) toggles playback of the

corresponding track on and off. The letter that identifies a

track (L or R) appears on the display whenever playback of

that track is turned on.

Using real-time recording to record to a track that already

contains recorded data replaces the existing recording with

the new one.

In addition to keyboard notes and accompaniment chords,

the following data is also recorded to Track 1 during real-time

recording. This data is used whenever Track 1 is played back.

Tone number

Rhythm number

INTRO, SYNCHRO/ENDING, NORMAL/FILL-IN, VAR/

Pedal operations

The keyboard has memory for approximately 5,200 notes.

You can use all 5,200 notes for a single song, or you can divide

memory between two different songs.

The measure number and note number flash on the

display whenever remaining memory is less than 100

notes.

1Flash

Recording automatically stops (and Auto

Accompaniment and rhythm stops playing if they are

being used) whenever memory becomes full.

Anything previously stored in memory is replaced

whenever you make a new recording.

Memory contents are retained as long as the keyboard is

supplied with electrical power. Unplugging the AC

adaptor when batteries are not loaded or when loaded

batteries are dead cuts off the keyboard’s electrical power

supply, causing all data stored in memory to be deleted.

Be sure to plug the keyboard into an electrical outlet with

the AC adaptor before replacing batteries.

Turning off the keyboard while a record operation is in

progress causes the contents of the track you are currently

recording to be lost.

The following describes a number of different variations you

can use when recording to Track 1 using real-time recording.

All of these variations are based upon the procedure

described under “To record to Track 1 using real-time

recording” on page E-37.

JTo record without rhythm

Skip step 5. Real-time recording without rhythm starts when

you press a keyboard key.

JTo start recording with synchro start

In place of step 5, press the SYNCHRO/ENDING button.

Auto Accompaniment and recording will both start when

you play a chord on the accompaniment keyboard.

JTo record using an intro, ending, or fill-in

During recording, the INTRO, SYNCHRO/ENDING,

NORMAL/FILL-IN, and VAR/FILL-IN buttons (pages E-25

through E-26) can all be used as they normally are.

JTo synchro start Auto Accompaniment with an

intro pattern

In place of step 5, press the SYNCHRO/ENDING button and

then the INTRO button. Auto Accompaniment will start with

the intro pattern when you play a chord on the

accompaniment keyboard.

JTo start Auto Accompaniment part way into a

Example:

To input an eighth note rest, hold down [0] and press

[4].

The following describes a number of different variations you

can use when recording to Track 1 using step recording. All

of these variations are based upon the procedure described

under “To record chords to Track 1 using step recording” on

page E-40.

JTo start accompaniment with an intro pattern

In step 5, press the INTRO button after the SYNCHRO/

ENDING button.

JTo switch to a rhythm variation

In step 6, press the VAR/FILL-IN button immediately before

inputting the chord.

JTo insert a fill in

In step 6, press the NORMAL/FILL-IN or VAR/FILL-IN

button at the measure or beat immediately before the chord or

beat where you want to insert the fill in.

JTo insert an ending

In step 6, press the SYNCHRO/ENDING button at the

measure or beat immediately before the chord where you

want to insert the ending.

The length of the ending depends on the rhythm you are

using. Check the length of the pattern you are using and set

the length of the chord accordingly in step 7. Making the

chord too short in step 7 can result in the ending pattern

being cut off.

JTo step record chords without rhythm

After performing steps 1 through 4, you can use the number

buttons to input the length of the specified chord. Skipping

step 5 (not pressing the SYNCHRO/ENDING button) creates

chord without rhythm, so you can input a rest by pressing the

[0] button in step 6 and then specifying the length of the rest

in step 7.

JTo add chord accompaniment part way through

rhythm play

In step 6, input all rests from the beginning of the recording

up to the point where you want accompaniment to start.

Next, input the chords.

Memory data can be thought of as a musical score that

progresses from left to right, with the input point normally at

the far right of the recorded data. The following procedure

describes how to move the input point to the left in order to

make changes in data you have already input. Note, however,

that moving the input point to the left and changing data

automatically deletes all of the data to the right of the input

point.

1. While a step recording operation is in progress,

use the FF and REW button to move the input

point to the location where you want to edit the

data you have already input.

If notes are already recorded, each press of FF or

REW moves the input point to the next successive

note. The data recorded at the current input point

appears on the display.

If notes are not recorded, each press of FF or REW

moves the input point to the next successive beat.

If you move from an area that contains note data

to an area that does not contain note data, each

press of FF moves the input point to the next beat.

Pressing the REW button, however, causes the

input point to jump back to the location of the

first note or rest to the left.

2. Press the [+] and [–] buttons.

3. Press the [+] button to start the data editing

operation or [–] to clear the data editing screen

without changing anything.

Pressing the [+] button automatically clears all

data to the right of the current input point. Next,

the keyboard stands by for input of step

recording data.

Pressing the [–] button clears the data editing

This section describes how to use layer (to play two tones

with a single key) and split (to assign different tones to either

end of the keyboard), and how to make touch response,

transpose, and tuning settings.

Layer lets you assign two different tones (a main tone and a

layered tone) to the keyboard, both of which play whenever

you press a key. For example, you could layer the FRENCH

HORN tone on the BRASS tone to produce a rich and brassy

sound.

1. First select the main tone.

Example:

To select “061 BRASS” as the main tone, press

the TONE button and then use the number

buttons or the [+] and [–] buttons to input 0, 6

and then 1.

2. Press the LAYER button.

3. Select the layered tone.

Example:

To select “060 FRENCH HORN” as the layered

tone, use the number buttons or the [+] and [–]

buttons to input 0, 6 and then 0.

4. Now try playing something on the keyboard.

Both tones are played at the same time.

5. Press the LAYER button again to unlayer the

tones and return the keyboard to normal.

With split you can assign two different tones (a main tone and

a split tone) to either end of the keyboard, which lets you play

one tone with your left hand and another tone with your right

hand. For example, you could select STRINGS as the main

(high range) tone and PIZZICATO as the split (low range)

tone, putting an entire string ensemble at your fingertips.

Split also lets you specify the split point, which is the location

on the keyboard where the changeover between the two tones

occurs.

1. First select the main tone.

Example:

To select “048 STRINGS 1” as the main tone,

press the TONE button and then use the number

buttons or the [+] and [–] buttons to input 0, 4

and then 8.

2. Press the SPLIT button.

3. Select the split tone.

Example:

To select “045 PIZZICATO STR” as the split

tone, use the number buttons or the [+] and [–]

buttons to input 0, 4 and then 5.

4. Specify the split point. While holding down the

SPLIT button, press the keyboard where you

want the leftmost key of the high end range to

be.

Example:

To specify G3 as the split point, press the G3 key.

5. Now try playing something on the keyboard.

Every key from F#3 and below is assigned the

PIZZICATO tone, while every key from G3 and

above is assigned the STRINGS tone.

You can use layer and split together to created a layered split

keyboard. It makes no difference whether you layer tones first

and then split the keyboard, or split the keyboard and then

layer tones. When you use layer and split in combination, the

high range of the keyboard is assigned two tones (main tone

+ layered tone), and the low range two tones (split tone +

layered split tone).

1. Press the TONE button and then input the tone

number of the main tone.

2. Press the SPLIT button and then input the

number of the split tone.

When touch response is turned on, the relative volume of

sound output by the keyboard is varied in accordance with

the amount of pressure applied, just like an acoustic piano.

1. Press the TOUCH RESPONSE button to toggle

touch response on and off.

Touch response is on when touch response

indicator is on.

1Lit

Touch response is off when touch response

indicator is off.

You can adjust touch response sensitivity using the

procedure under “TOUCH CURVE (Default: 0)” on page

E-55.

Touch response not only affects the keyboard’s internal

sound source, it also is output as MIDI data.

Memory playback, accompaniment, and external MIDI note

data does not affect the touch response setting.

Transpose lets you raise and lower the overall key of the

keyboard in semitone units. If you want to play an

accompaniment for a vocalist who sings in a key that’s

different from the keyboard, for example, simply use

transpose to change the key of the keyboard.

1. Press the TRANSPOSE/TUNE/MIDI button

until the transpose screen appears on the

display.

2. Use the [+], [–], and the number buttons to

change the transpose setting of the keyboard.

Example:

To transpose the keyboard five semitones

upwards.

The keyboard can be transposed within a range of –12

(one octave downwards) to +12 (one octave upwards).

The default transpose setting is “00” when keyboard power

is turned on.

If you leave the transpose screen on the display for about

five seconds without doing anything, the screen is

automatically cleared.

The transpose setting also affects playback from song

memory and Auto Accompaniment.

Each press of the TRANSPOSE/TUNE/MIDI button cycles

through a total of 12 setting screens: the transpose screen, the

tuning screen, and 10 MIDI setting screens (page E-52). If you

accidentally pass the screen you want to use, keep pressing

the TRANSPOSE/TUNE/MIDI button until the screen

appears again.
