PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical
shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/AC power adaptor

Water warning

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required
voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into
any openings.

• Use the specified adaptor (PA-5D or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha)
only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or
overheating.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.
• Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators,
and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects
on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll
anything over it.

Do not open
• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or
modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it
should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

Fire warning
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.

If you notice any abnormality
• If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a
sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or
smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch,
disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage
to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/AC power adaptor
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold
the plug itself and not the cord.
• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during
electrical storms.
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector.
Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the
outlet.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.
• When setting up the instrument, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is
easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off
the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet.
• Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or
rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the
internal components or result in the instrument falling over.

Location
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or
heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to
prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal
components.
• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment,
mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio
may generate noise.

Connections

Saving data

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the
power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all
components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes
of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume
controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

Maintenance
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,
solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

Saving and backing up your data
The panel settings and some other types of data are not retained in memory when
you turn off the power to the instrument. Save data you want to keep to the
Registration Memory (page 85.)
Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation.
Save important data to a USB storage device/or other external device such as a
computer. (pages 93, 104)

Backing up the USB storage device/external media
• To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you
save your important data onto two USB storage devices/external media.

Handling caution
• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel
or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the
power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might
discolor the panel or keyboard.
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not
use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or
uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you
experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
Even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long
time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

Special Features of the DGX-620/520, YPG-625/525
Graded Hammer Standard Keyboard (DGX-620/YPG-625 Only)
Thanks to our experience as the world’s leading manufacturer of acoustic pianos, we’ve developed a
keyboard with action that’s virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Just as on a traditional acoustic piano, the keys of the lower notes have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more responsive
to lighter playing. The keyboard’s sensitivity can even be adjusted to match your playing style. This
Graded Hammer technology also enables the DGX-620/YPG-625 to provide authentic touch in a lightweight instrument.

■ Performance assistant technology

Page 35

Play along with a song on the instrument’s keyboard and produce a perfect
performance every time ... even if you play wrong notes! All you have to do
is play on the keyboard—alternately on the left- and right-hand ranges of the
keyboard, for example—and you’ll sound like a pro as long as you play in
time with the music.
And if you can’t play with both hands, you can still play the melody simply
by tapping one key.

■ Play a Variety of Instrument Voices

All you need is
one finger!

Page 15

With the DGX-620/520, YPG-625/525, the instrument voice that sounds
when you play the keyboard can be changed to violin, flute, harp, or any of
an extensive range of voices. You can change the mood of a song written for
piano, for example, by using violin to play it instead. Experience a whole
new world of musical variety.

■ Play Along with Styles

Page 24

Want to play with full accompaniment? Try the auto-accompaniment Styles.
The accompaniment styles provide the equivalent of a full backing band covering wide variety of styles from waltzes to 8-beat to euro-trance … and
much more. Select a style that matches the music you want to play, or experiment with new styles to expand your musical horizons.

■ Easy Performance with Music Notation Display
When you play back a song, the corresponding score will be shown on the
display as the song plays. This is a great way to learn how to read music. If
the song contains lyric and chord data*, the lyrics and chords will also appear
on the score display.
* No lyrics or chords will appear on the display if the song you are using with the score display function does not contain the appropriate lyric and chord data.

Setting Up
Be sure to do the following operations
BEFORE turning on the power.

Power Requirements

Make all necessary connections below
BEFORE turning the power on.

Connecting Headphones (PHONES/OUTPUT Jack)

Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the
instrument is set to STANDBY.
WARNING
• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5D AC Power Adaptor (or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to power your
instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may
result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the
instrument.

Connect the AC adaptor (PA-5D or other adaptor
specifically recommended by Yamaha) to the power
supply jack.
Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
CAUTION
• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument,
or during electrical storms.

The instrument speakers are automatically shut off
when a plug is inserted into this jack. The PHONES/
OUTPUT jack also functions as an external output. You
can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a keyboard
amplifier, stereo system, mixer, tape recorder, or other
line-level audio device to send the instrument’s output
signal to that device.
WARNING
• Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for long periods of time; doing so may not only result in ear fatigue, it may be
damaging to your hearing.

CAUTION
• To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external
devices at the minimum setting before connecting them. Failure to
observe these cautions may result in electric shock or equipment
damage. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all devices at their
minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while
playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

PA-5D

AC outlet

Connecting a Footswitch (SUSTAIN Jack)

The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain
as you play by pressing a footswitch. Plug the Yamaha
FC5 footswitch into this jack and use it to switch sustain
on and off.
NOTE
• Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power.
• Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this
changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed
footswitch operation.

DGX-620/520, YPG-625/525 Owner’s Manual

Setting Up

Connecting to a Computer (USB Terminal)

● Music Rest
Insert the music rest into
the slots as shown.

Connect the instrument’s USB terminal to the USB terminal of a computer, and you can transfer performance
data and song files between the two (page 99). To use
the USB data-transfer features you’ll need to do the following:
• First, make sure the POWER switch on the instrument is set to OFF, then use a USB cable to connect the instrument to the computer. After making
the connections, turn the instrument’s power on.
• Install the USB MIDI driver on your computer.

Installation of the USB MIDI driver is described on
page 107.

Turning the Power On
Turn down the volume by turning the [MASTER VOLUME] control to the left and press the [STANDBY/ON]
switch to turn on the power. Press the [STANDBY/ON]
switch again to turn the power OFF.

Backup data in the flash memory is loaded to the instrument when the power is turned on. If no backup data
exists on flash memory, all instrument settings are
restored to the initial factory defaults when the power is
turned on.
CAUTION
• Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is
still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are
not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the
AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

CAUTION
• Never attempt to turn the power off when a “WRITING!” message
is shown in the display. Doing so can damage the flash memory
and result in a loss of data.

Fun Sounds
This instrument includes a range of drum kits and unique sound effects you can
use for entertainment. Laughter, babbling brooks, jet fly-bys, eerie effects, and
much more. These sounds can be a great way to enhance the mood at parties.

Drum Kits
Drum kits are collections of drum and percussion instruments. When you select a violin or other
normal instrument main voice, for example, all keys produce the sound of the same violin, only at
different pitches. If you select a drum kit as the main voice, however, each key produces the sound
of a different drum or percussion instrument.

◆ Drum Kit Selection Procedure ➔ (refer to steps 1 and 2 on page 15)
1 Press the [VOICE] button.
2 Use the dial to select “128 Standard Kit 1”.
3 Try out each key and enjoy the drum and percussion sounds!

Try out each key and enjoy the drum and percussion sounds! Don’t forget the black keys! You’ll

comprehensive variety of drum and percussion
sounds. For details on the instruments included
in the drum kit voices (voice numbers 128 to
139), see the “Drum Kit List” on page 128.

The sound effects are included in the drum kit voice group (voice numbers 138 and 139). When
either of these voices are selected you will be able to play a range of sound effects on the keyboard.

other useful effects. “138 SFX Kit 1” includes lightning,
running water, dogs barking, and others. Some keys do
not have assigned sound effects, and will therefore produce no sound.

Playing Styles

Styles Are More Fun When You Understand Chords
Chords, created by playing multiple notes at the same time, are the basis for harmonic accompaniment.
In this section we’ll take a look at sequences of different chords played one after another, or “chord
sequences.” Since each chord has it’s own unique “color”—even if it’s different fingerings of the same
chord—the chords you choose to use in your chord progressions have a huge influence on the overall
feel of the music you play.
On page 24 you learned how to play colorful accompaniments using styles. Chord progressions are vital
to creating interesting accompaniments, and with a little chord know-how you should be able to take
your accompaniments to a new level.
On these pages we’ll introduce three easy-to-use chord progressions. Be sure to try them out with the
instrument’s accompaniment styles. The style will respond to the chord progression you play, effectively
creating a complete song.

The Easy Way to Play Piano
This instrument includes a performance assistant technology feature
that lets you play along with a song and sound like a great pianist (even
though you might be making lots of mistakes)! In fact, you can play any
notes and still sound good! You could even just tap one key and the
results would be a beautiful melody. So even if you can’t play piano and
can’t read a note of music, you can have some musical fun.

Performance assistant technology offers four selectable types. Select the type that produces the best results
for you.

● Chord ...................... No matter where or what you play, the result will be musical, well-balanced sound. This type offers the greatest freedom, allowing you to play
anything with both your left and right hands.

● Chord/Free........... If you can play simple right-hand melodies but have trouble with lefthand chords, this is the type for you. The Chord type applies to only the
left-hand section of the keyboard, allowing you to easily play chords to
support the melody you are playing with your right hand.
Split point

Play your own melody with the right hand.

● Melody ................... This type lets you play the melody of the selected song by playing any
keys with just one finger. Start playing melodies right away, even if you’ve
never played a keyboard instrument before!

● Chord/Melody .... Play the melody of the selected song with one finger on the right-hand
section of the keyboard, and play chords on the left-hand section of the
keyboard using the Chord type.

Style (Auto-accompaniment) Functions

Chord Basics
Two or more notes played together constitute a “chord”.
The most basic chord type is the “triad” consisting of three notes: the
root, third, and fifth degrees of the corresponding scale. A C major triad,
for example, is made up of the notes C (the root), E (the third note of the
C major scale), and G (the fifth note of the C major scale).

3rd

Root

3rd

In the C major triad shown above, the lowest note is the “root” of the
chord (this is the chord’s “root position” ... using other chord notes for
the lowest note results in “inversions”). The root is the central sound of the chord, which supports and
anchors the other chord notes.
The distance (interval) between adjacent notes of a triad in root position is either a major or minor third.
Major third–four half steps (semitones)

Minor third–three half steps (semitones)

The lowest interval in our root-position triad (between the root and the third) determines whether the triad
is a major or minor chord, and we can shift the highest note up or down by a semitone to produce two additional chords, as shown below.
CM

C aug

The basic characteristics of the chord sound remain intact even if we change the order of the notes to create
different inversions. Successive chords in a chord progression can be smoothly connected, for example, by
choosing the appropriate inversions (or chord “voicings”).
● Reading Chord Names

Chord names tell you just about everything you need to know about a chord
(other than the inversion/voicing). The chord name tells you what the root of the
chord is, whether it is a major, minor, or diminished chord, whether it requires a
major or flatted seventh, what alterations or tensions it uses ... all at a glance.
● Some Chord Types (These are just some of the “Standard” chord types recognized by the DGX-620/520, YPG-625/525.)

NOTE
• Notes in parentheses can be omitted.
• Playing two same root keys in the adjacent octaves produces accompaniment based only on the root.
• A perfect fifth (1 + 5) produces accompaniment based only on the root
and fifth which can be used with both major and minor chords.
• The chord fingerings listed are all in “root” position, but other inversions
can be used—with the following exceptions: m7, m7b5, 6, m6, sus4,
aug, dim7, 7b5, 6(9), sus2.

DGX-620/520, YPG-625/525 Owner’s Manual

NOTE
• Inversion of the 7sus4 and m7(11) chords are not recognized if the
notes shown in parentheses are omitted.
• The auto accompaniment will sometimes not change when related
chords are played in sequence (e.g. some minor chords followed by the
minor seventh).
• Two-note fingerings will produce a chord based on the previously played
chord.

Style (Auto-accompaniment) Functions

Style File
This instrument features 150 internal styles, but other styles, such as those provided on the CD-ROM and
others that can be obtained from the internet (only styles with the “.sty” suffix), can be loaded into style
number 151 and used in the same way as the internal styles. For details on loading the style file, see “Loading User Files and Style Files” on page 95.
In order to load a style file it is necessary to first either transfer the style file to the instrument from a computer, or connect a USB flash memory containing the style file to the USB TO DEVICE connector. Refer to
“Transferring Performance Data to and from a Computer” on page 100 for details on the file transfer procedure. If you use a USB flash memory refer to “Loading User Files and Style Files” on page 95.

Playing Styles Using the Entire Keyboard
In “Play Along with a Style” on page 24 we described a method of playing styles in which chords were
detected only to the left of the keyboard split point. By making the settings described below, however,
chord detection for style accompaniment occurs over the entire range of the keyboard, allowing for even
more dynamic style performance. In this mode only chords played in the normal way (page 28) can be
detected.

1 Press the [CHORD FINGERING] button
to select the function “Chord Fingering”.

NOTE
• About major chords: Simple major chords are usually indicated only
by the root note. For example, “C” refers to C major. However, when
specifying major chords here, make sure to select “M” (major) after
pressing the root note.
• Be aware that the chord types explained here are the left-hand
notes applied to various styles and different from the one for the performance assistant technology feature.

Using USB Flash Memory

USB flash memory is a memory medium used for storing data.
When a USB flash memory is inserted in this instrument’s USB TO DEVICE terminal,
user songs created on the instrument and the registered settings can be saved to or
loaded from the memory medium. USB flash memory can also be used to transfer song
data downloaded from the Internet to the instrument, where it can be used with the performance assistant technology (page 35) and Lesson (page 47) features described in
the Quick Guide. Furthermore, user songs saved to USB flash memory in MIDI file format can also be used with these features.
In this section we’ll look at the procedures for setting up and formatting USB flash
memory devices, as well as for saving and loading data to and from them.

If you don’t have a USB flash memory, you will need to purchase one (or more, as
needed).
The instrument does not necessarily support all commercially available USB storage
devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee operation of USB storage devices that you purchase.
Before purchasing USB storage devices, please consult your Yamaha dealer, or an
authorized Yamaha distributor (see list at end of the Owner’s Manual) for advice.

USB Flash Memory
Before using a USB device, read through the “Precautions when using the USB TO DEVICE terminal” section on page 99. For information about USB devices compatible with the instrument, see “Connection to a
USB Storage Device” on page 97.
● To protect your data (write-protect switch)
Some USB flash memory devices are equipped with a write-protect switch. To prevent accidental erasure of important data saved in USB flash memory, slide the write-protect switch on the device to the
“protect” position. When saving data, make sure that the write-protect switch is set to the “overwrite”
position.

Using USB Flash Memory

Convert a User Song to SMF Format and Save
This operation converts a user song (song numbers 031–035) to SMF Format 0 and saves the file to USB
flash memory.
● What is SMF (Standard MIDI File)?
The SMF (Standard MIDI File) format is one of the
most common and widely compatible sequence
formats used for storing sequence data. There are
two variations: Format 0 and Format 1. A large
number of MIDI devices are compatible with SMF
Format 0, and most commercially available MIDI
sequence data is provided in SMF Format 0.

A USB storage device, such as a floppy disk drive,
hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive, flash memory,
reader/writer, etc., can be connected to the USB
TO DEVICE terminal. Other USB devices such as
a computer keyboard or mouse cannot be used.
Before purchasing USB storage devices, please
consult your Yamaha dealer, or an authorized
Yamaha distributor (see list at end of the Owner’s
Manual) for advice.
CAUTION
• Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage
device, or connecting/disconnecting the cable too often. Doing so
may result in the operation of the instrument “freezing” or hanging up. While the instrument is accessing data (such as in the
Save and Delete operations), do NOT unplug the USB cable, do
NOT remove the media from the device, and do NOT turn the
power off to either device. Doing so may corrupt the data on either
or both devices.

CAUTION
• Some USB memory devices may require more current than the
instrument can supply, causing the instrument’s over-current protection function to be activated and making it impossible to use
the device. If this occurs “OverCurrent” will appear in the upper
area of the MAIN display. To restore normal operation remove the
USB device from the USB TO DEVICE connector and turn the
instrument’s power off and then back on again.

Appendix

Troubleshooting
■ For the Instrument
Problem

Possible Cause and Solution

When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping
sound is temporarily produced.

This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical
power.

When using a mobile phone, noise is produced.

Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may produce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it
further away from the instrument.
Check that nothing is connected to the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on
the rear panel. When a set of headphones is plugged into this jack,
no sound is output.

There is no sound even when the keyboard is
played or when a song or style is being played
back.

Check the Local Control on/off. (See page 100.)
Is the FILE CONTROL display showing? The instrument’s keyboard,
etc., will not produce any sound while the FILE CONTROL display is
showing. Press the [EXIT] button to return to the MAIN display.

Playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard
does not produce any sound.

When using the Dictionary function (page 82), the keys in the right
hand area are used only for entering the chord root and type.

The style or song does not play back when the
[START/STOP] button is pressed.

Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF;
refer to “External Clock” on page 100.
Make sure that the Style Volume (page 88) is set to an appropriate
level.

The style does not sound properly.

Is the split point set at an appropriate key for the chords you are playing? Set the split point at an appropriate key (page 77).
Is the “ACMP” indicator showing in the display? If it is not showing
press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button so that it does show.

No rhythm accompaniment plays when the
[START/STOP] button is pressed after selecting
style number 121 or a style between 133 and 150
(Pianist).

This is not a malfunction. Style number 121 and style numbers 133–
150 (Pianist) have no rhythm parts, so no rhythm will play. The other
parts will begin playing when you play a chord in the accompaniment
range of the keyboard if style playback is turned on.

Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound
seems to be cut off.

The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 notes. If the
Dual voice or Split voice is being used and a style or song is playing
back at the same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or “stolen”) from the accompaniment or song.

The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the
opposite effect. For example, pressing the footswitch cuts off the sound and releasing it sustains
the sounds.

The polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning
on the power.

The sound of the voice changes from note to note.

This is normal. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple
recordings (samples) of an instrument across the range of the keyboard; thus, the actual sound of the voice may be slightly different
from note to note.

The Demo display is shown in Japanese, and/or
there are Japanese characters in the display messages.

Make sure the Language setting in the FUNCTION display is set to
English. (See page 14)

Troubleshooting

Problem

Possible Cause and Solution

The appropriate display does not appear when the
[SONG], [EASY SONG ARRANGER], [STYLE], or
[VOICE] button is pressed.

Is another display showing? Try pressing the [EXIT] button to return
to the MAIN display, and then pressing one of the mentioned buttons.

The wrong notes sound when the keyboard is
played.

Perhaps the performance assistant technology is turned on.
Press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button to turn it off.

The ACMP indicator does not appear when the
[ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed.

Is the [STYLE] button lit? Always press the [STYLE] button first when
you are going to use any style-related function.

There is no harmony sound.

The harmony effects (01–26) behave differently according to their
type. Types 01–05 function when style playback is on, chords are
played in the accompaniment range of the keyboard, and a melody is
played in the right-hand range. Types 06–26 will function whether
style playback is on or off. For types 06–12 you need to play two
notes at the same time.

Voice List
■ Maximum Polyphony ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
The instrument has 32-note maximum polyphony. This means
that it can play a maximum of up to 32 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 Numbers 001 to 128 directly relate to MIDI Program Change Numbers 000 to 127. That is, Program Numbers and Program Change Numbers differ by a value of 1.
Remember to take this into consideration.
• Some voices may sound continuously or have a long
decay after the notes have been released while the sustain pedal (footswitch) is held.

Drum Kit List
• “
” indicates that the drum sound is the same as “Standard Kit 1”.
• Each percussion voice uses one note.
• The MIDI Note # and Note are actually one octave lower than keyboard Note # and Note. For example,
in “128: Standard Kit 1”, the “Seq Click H” (Note# 36/Note C1) corresponds to (Note# 24/Note C0).
• Key Off: Keys marked “O” stop sounding the instant they are released.
• Voices with the same Alternate Note Number (*1 ... 4) cannot be played simultaneously. (They are
designed to be played alternately with each other.)

Description
Harmony types 01–05 are pitch-based and add one-, two- or three-note harmonies to the single-note melody played in the right hand. These types sound when chords are played in the
auto accompaniment range of the keyboard. These Harmony types will also work when playing
songs that contain chord data.

Types 6–26 are rhythm-based effects and add embellishments or delayed repeats in
time with the auto accompaniment. These types sound whether the auto accompaniment is on or not; however, the actual speed of the effect depends on the Tempo setting (page 46). The individual note values in each type let you synchronize the effect
precisely to the rhythm. Triplet settings are also available: 1/6 = quarter-note triplets,
1/12 = eighth-note triplets, 1/24 = sixteenth-note triplets.
• The Trill effect Types (06–12) create two-note trills (alternating notes) when two
notes are held.
• The Tremolo effect Types (13–19) repeat all held notes (up to four).
• The Echo effect Types (20–26) create delayed repeats of each note played.
