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, shortcircuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-5C or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in
damage to the instrument or overheating.
• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug
from the outlet. 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.

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:

(4)-7

• 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.
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord.
• 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.
• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or
during electrical storms.
• Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with
the +/- polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
• Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new
batteries together with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types,
such as alkaline batteries with manganese batteries, or batteries
from different makers, or different types of batteries from the
same maker, since this can cause overheating, fire, or battery
fluid leakage.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be
charged.
• When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used
for a long time, remove the batteries from the instrument to prevent possible leakage of the battery fluid.
• Keep batteries away from children.
• If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the
battery fluid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or
skin, wash immediately with water and consult a doctor. Battery
fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss of sight or chemical burns.
• 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.
• 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 near other electrical products such as
televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products.

• 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 cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use
paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, 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.
• Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching
the stand, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could
cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.
• 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.
• Playing while looking at the lights for a long period of time may
cause eye strain and stiff neck/shoulders. For your health and
comfort, we recommend that you take a ten-minute break for
every hour.

■DATA BACK-UP AND STORAGE
• Yamaha recommends that you regularly save data using an
external device such as the floppy disk-based Yamaha MIDI data
filer MDF3, and storing the floppy disks in a safe, cool, dry place.
YAMAHA CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCIDENTAL LOSS OF IMPORTANT MUSIC DATA! Regarding the
data you have created, as long as fresh batteries are inserted in
(or an AC power adaptor is connected to) the instrument, the
data will be retained, even when the power is turned off. It will

for a new set. If you have important data in the instrument which
you don’t want to lose, please take care to keep fresh batteries
inserted in (or keep an AC power adaptor connected to) the
instrument, and to regularly save data.
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.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Yamaha EZ-30 PortaTone!
You now own a portable keyboard that combines advanced functions, great sound and exceptional ease-of-use in a highly compact
package. Its outstanding features also make it a remarkably expressive and versatile instrument.
Read this Owner’s Manual carefully while playing your new EZ-30
in order to take full advantage of its various features.

Main Features
The EZ-30 is a sophisticated yet easy-to-use keyboard with the following features and
functions:

Yamaha Education Suite
The EZ-30 features the new Yamaha Education Suite - a set of learning tools that utilize the latest technology to make studying and practicing music more fun and
fulfilling than ever before!

The Yamaha Education Suite includes:
● Lesson ................................................................ page 34
The convenient and easy-to-use Lesson feature guides you through the parts
of a song - just like a patient teacher! Select from any one of 100 songs on
the EZ-30, and learn the left- and right-hand parts independently at first,
then together. Lesson features three easy steps that help you master each
song: Timing, Waiting and Minus One.

● Grade & Talking ................................................ pages 37 and 38
The EZ-30 also has the Grade and Talking features. Grade is a virtual
“teacher,” evaluating your practice sessions and rating your performance.
The convenient Talking function “announces” each Lesson step and your
“grades,” among other things.

● Dictionary .......................................................... page 58
Dictionary is a built-in “chord encyclopedia” that teaches you how to play
specific chords by showing you the appropriate notes in the display - perfect for when you know the name of a chord and want to quickly learn how
to play it!

● Lighting ............................................................. page 32
When you are using the Lesson feature or Dictionary, the key indicators tell
you which keys to play. Also, during song playback, they show the keys
that are playing.

● ABC/DoReMi...................................................... page 43
The EZ-30 sings the melody using “A, B, C...” or “DoReMi.” Also, while
you are using the Lesson function, the EZ-30 guides you by singing a note
ahead using “A, B, C” or “DoReMi.”

4

Setting Up
Power Requirements
Although the EZ-30 will run either from an
optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha
recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever
possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not
deplete resources.

2 Insert six 1.5-volt “D” size, R20P
(LR20) or equivalent batteries as
shown in the illustration, making sure
that the positive and negative terminals are properly aligned.
3 Replace the lid.

■ Using an AC Power Adaptor

BATTERIES 1.5 V x 6

Use of an AC power adaptor is recommended, especially when you use the
EZ-30 for a long period of time.
1 Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON]
switch of the EZ-30 is set to
STANDBY.
2 Connect one end of the adaptor to the
DC IN 10-12V jack on the rear panel
of your EZ-30.
3 Connect the other end to a suitable
electrical outlet.

3 outlet
2

PA-5C

WARNING
Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5C 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 EZ30.

CAUTION
Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using
the EZ-30, or during electrical storms.

■ Using Batteries
1 Turn the instrument upside-down and
remove the battery compartment lid.

8

Replace the batteries before they
completely discharge. If the battery
voltage gets low, the volume level
may be reduced, sound integrity may
deteriorate, the display indicators
may disappear, or the stored data
may be deleted. If any of these events
occur, replace the battery, heeding
the cautions described below.
CAUTION
• Insert the batteries in the correct direction,
making sure that the positive and negative
terminals of the batteries match the label. If
the orientation does not match the label, the
batteries may generate heat, cause a fire, or
leak.
• Never mix old and new batteries or different
types of batteries (e.g., alkaline and
manganese).
• To prevent possible damage from battery
leakage, remove the batteries from the
instrument if it is not to be used for a long
time.
• Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY”
position, electricity is still flowing to the
instrument at the minimum level.
When you plan not to use the EZ-30 for a
long period of time, make sure you unplug
the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the
instrument.

Using Headphones

For private practicing and playing without
disturbing others, connect a set of stereo
headphones to the rear panel PHONES/OUTPUT jack. Sound from the built-in speaker
system is automatically cut off when you
insert a headphone plug into this jack.

This feature lets you use an optional footswitch (Yamaha FC4 or FC5) to sustain the
sound of the voices. The footswitch functions the same way as a damper pedal on an
acoustic piano - press and hold down the
footswitch as you play the keyboard to sustain the sound.
• Make sure that the footswitch plug
is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before you turn 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.

CAUTION
Do not use headphones for a long time at high
volume levels. Otherwise, you may damage
your hearing.

Using the MIDI Terminals

Connecting a Keyboard Amplifier or Stereo System
Though the EZ-30 is equipped with a built-in
speaker system, you can also play it through an
external amplifier/speaker system. First, make
sure the EZ-30 and any external devices are
turned off, then connect one end of a stereo
audio cable to the LINE IN or AUX IN jack(s) of
the other device and the other end to the rear
panel PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the EZ-30.
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.

The EZ-30 also features MIDI terminals,
allowing you to interface the EZ-30 with
other MIDI instruments and devices. (For
more information, see page 78.)
• Special MIDI cables (sold separately) must be used for connecting
to MIDI devices. They can be
bought at music stores, etc.
• Never use MIDI cables longer
than about 15 meters. Cables
longer than this can pick up noise
which can cause data errors.

Music Stand

Using a Footswitch

Insert the bottom edge of the
included music stand into the
slot located at the top rear of
the EZ-30 control panel.

Using the Lesson Feature
Songs 001 to 100 are specially designed for use with the educational
Lesson feature. Let’s start the practice, following the light.

1 Select Timing, Waiting, or Minus One, and start the lesson.
When the power of the EZ-30 is turned on, the song of ”003: Linus And Lucy”
and the right-hand part are selected.

Lesson 1: Timing
This step lets you work on the timing of the notes. In Lesson 1, the particular
note you play on the keyboard is unimportant. The EZ-30 checks your timing
and how rhythmically “tight” your playing is.

14

Lesson 2: Waiting
In Lesson 2, you practice playing the notes correctly as they appear in the display notation. The accompaniment pauses and waits for you to play the notes
correctly before it continues.

Lesson 3: Minus One
In Lesson 3, you practice playing correct notes, along with the accompaniment. The accompaniment continues playing in tempo.

2 When you’re finished, stop the Lesson.

❋ Want to find out more? See page 34.

Grade
The EZ-30 has a built-in evaluation function that monitors your practicing and
- like a real teacher - tells you how well you did each practice. Four grades are
assigned, depending on your performance: “Try Again,” “Good,” “Very
Good,” and “Excellent.”
❋ Want to find out more? See page 37.

Using Auto Accompaniment—Multi Fingering
When it is set to on (page 52), the auto accompaniment function automatically generates bass and chord accompaniment for you to play along with, by using Multi
Fingering operation. You can change the chords of the accompaniment by playing keys
in the auto accompaniment key range using either the “Single Finger” or “Fingered”
method. With Single Finger you can simply play a one-, two- or three-finger chord indication (see “Single Finger Chords” below). The Fingered technique is that of
conventionally playing all the notes of the chord.
Whichever method you use, the EZ-30 “understands” what chord you indicate and then
automatically generates the accompaniment.

Single Finger Chords
Chords that can be produced in Single Finger operation are major, minor, seventh and
minor seventh. The illustration shows how to produce the four chord types. (The key of
C is used here as an example; other keys follow the same rules. For example, Bb7 is
played as Bb and A.)

• Notes in parentheses can be omitted.
• A perfect fifth (1 + 5) produces accompaniment based only on the root and fifth
which can be used with both major and minor chords.
• Playing two same root keys in the adjacent octaves produces accompaniment
based only on the root.
• 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), 1+2+5.
• 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.
• The split point for the auto accompaniment function is the same as that for the
split voices. (See page 44.)

Auto Accompaniment

Looking up Chords in the dictionary
The Dictionary function is essentially a built-in “chord book” that shows you the individual notes of chords. It is ideal when you know the name of a certain chord and want
to quickly learn how to play it.

Press the [Dict.] button.

Specify the root of the chord.
Press the key on the keyboard that corresponds to the desired chord root (as
printed on the panel).
Pressing this key selects the root G.

Specify the type of the chord (major, minor, seventh, etc.).
Press the key on the keyboard that corresponds to the desired chord type (as
printed on the panel).
In this example, play M7 keys.

• Usually, a Major chord name is represented by a root note name.
E.g., “C” represents C Major.
• If you press [+]/[–] buttons, another inversion will be indicated.

58

Play a chord, following the Light Guide.
The display indicates the notes of the
GM7 chord, and the Light Guide indicates which keys to play on the
keyboard.
The chord name flashes in the display
(and a “congratulations” melody is
played) when the correct notes are
held down.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • What is a Chord? • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
The simple answer: Three or more notes played simultaneously is a chord. (Two
notes played together is an “interval” — an interval being the distance between two
different notes. This is also referred to as a “harmony.”) Depending on the intervals
between the three or more notes, a chord can sound beautiful or muddy and dissonant.
The organization of notes in the example at left — a triad
chord — produces a pleasant, harmonious sound. Triads
are made up of three notes and are the most basic and
common chords in most music.
In this triad, the lowest note is the “root.” The root is the most important note in the
chord, because it anchors the sound harmonically by determining its “key” and forms
the basis for how we hear the other notes of the chord.
The second note of this chord is four semitones higher than the first, and the third is
three semitones higher than the second. Keeping our root note fixed and changing these
notes by a semitone up or down (sharp or flat), we can create four different chords.

Keep in mind that we can also change the “voicing” of a chord — for example, change
the order of the notes (called “inversions”), or play the same notes in different octaves
— without changing the basic nature of the chord itself.

Beautiful sounding harmonies can be built in this manner. The use of intervals and
chords is one of the most important elements in music. A wide variety of emotions
and feelings can be created depending on the types of chords used and the order in
which they are arranged.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Writing Chord Names• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Knowing how to read and write chord names is an easy yet invaluable skill. Chords
are often written in a kind of shorthand that makes them instantly recognizable (and
gives you the freedom to play them with the voicing or inversion that you prefer).
Once you understand the basic principles of harmony and chords, it’s very simple to
use this shorthand to write out the chords of a song.
First, write the root note of the chord in an uppercase letter. If you need to specify
sharp or flat, indicate that to the right of the root. The chord type should be indicated
to the right as well. Examples for the key of C are shown below.
Major chord

Minor chord

Augmented chord

Diminished chord

C

Cm

Caug

Cdim

For simple major chords, the type is omitted.

One important point: Chords are made up of notes “stacked” on top of each other,
and the stacked notes are indicated in the chord name of the chord type as a number
— the number being the distance of the note from the root. (See the keyboard diagram below.) For example, the minor 6th chord includes the 6th note of the scale, the
major 7th chord has the 7th note of the scale, etc.

The Intervals of the Scale

MIDI Functions
The EZ-30 is MIDI-compatible, featuring MIDI IN and MIDI
OUT terminals and providing a variety of MIDI-related controls. By using the MIDI functions you can expand your musical
possibilities. This section explains what MIDI is, and what it can
do, as well as how you can use MIDI on your EZ-30.

What is MIDI?
No doubt you have heard the terms “acoustic instrument” and “digital instrument.”
In the world today, these are the two main categories of instruments. Let’s consider an
acoustic piano and a classical guitar as representative acoustic instruments.
They are easy to understand. With the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer inside hits
some strings and plays a note. With the guitar, you directly pluck a string and the note
sounds. But how does a digital instrument go about playing a note?
• Acoustic guitar note production

• Digital instrument note production

L

Sampling
Note

(Electronic circuit) Sampling

R

Playing the
keyboard

Pluck a string and the body resonates
the sound.

Based on playing information from the keyboard, a sampling
note stored in the tone generator is played through the speakers.

Based on playing information from the keyboard, a sampling note stored in the tone
generator is played through the speakers.
As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic instrument the sampling note (previously recorded note) stored in the tone generator section (electronic circuit) is played
based on information received from the keyboard. So then what is the information from
the keyboard that becomes the basis for note production?
For example, let’s say you play a “C” quarter note using the grand piano sound on the
EZ-30 keyboard. Unlike an acoustic instrument that puts out a resonated note, the electronic instrument puts out information from the keyboard such as “with what voice,”
“with which key,” “about how strong,” “when was it pressed,” and “when was it
released.” Then each piece of information is changed into a number value and sent to
the tone generator. Using these numbers as a basis, the tone generator plays the stored
sampling note.
Example of Keyboard Information
Voice number (with what voice)

01 (grand piano)

Note number (with which key)

60 (C3)

Note on (when was it pressed) and note off (when was it released)

Timing expressed numerically (quarter note)

Velocity (about how strong)

20 (strong)

MIDI Functions

MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which allows
electronic musical instruments to communicate with each other, by sending and receiving compatible Note, Control Change, Program Change and various other types of MIDI
data, or messages.
The EZ-30 can control a MIDI device by transmitting note related data and various
types of controller data. The EZ-30 can be controlled by the incoming MIDI messages
which automatically determine tone generator mode, select MIDI channels, voices and
effects, change parameter values and of course play the voices specified for the various
parts.
MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Channel messages and System messages. Below is an explanation of the various types of MIDI messages which the EZ-30
can receive/transmit.
Channel Messages
The EZ-30 is an electronic instrument that can handle 16 channels. This is usually
expressed as “it can play 16 instruments at the same time.” Channel messages transmit
information such as Note ON/OFF, Program Change, for each of the 16 channels.
Message Name

EZ-30 Operation/Panel Setting

Note ON/OFF

Messages which are generated when the keyboard is played. Each message
includes a specific note number which corresponds to the key which is
pressed, plus a velocity value based on how hard the key is stuck.

Program Change

Voice number (along with corresponding bank select MSB/LSB settings, if
necessary).

Control Change

Messages that are used to change some aspect of the sound (modulation,
volume, pan, etc.).

System Messages
This is data that is used in common by the entire MIDI system. System messages
include messages like Exclusive Messages that transmit data unique to each instrument
manufacturer and Realtime Messages that control the MIDI device.
Message Name

The messages transmitted/received by the EZ-30 are shown in the MIDI Implementation Chart on page 98.
GM System Level 1
“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which
ensures that any GM-compatible music data can be accurately played
by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of manufacturer.
The GM mark is affixed to all software and hardware products that
support GM System Level 1. The EZ-30 supports GM System Level 1.

76

MIDI Terminals
In order to exchange MIDI data between multiple devices, each device must be connected by a cable.
The MIDI terminals of the EZ-30 are located on the rear panel.
• MIDI IN....................Receives MIDI data from another
MIDI device.
• MIDI OUT ................Transmits the EZ-30’s keyboard information as MIDI data to another MIDI
device.
MIDI LSB receive cancel
To set the EZ-30 so that it will not receive LSB data for Bank Select, press the
[STANDBY/ON] switch to turn on the power to the EZ-30 while holding down the
lowest key (C1).
To cancel this setting, turn on the power to the EZ-30 again in the normal manner.

Available MIDI Functions
The EZ-30 has MIDI IN/OUT terminals on the rear panel.
Using the MIDI functions can expand your possibilities for creating and playing music.
● Playing on a MIDI keyboard (without an internal tone generator) can produce sound
on the EZ-30.

Local Control
This function lets you enable or disable keyboard control over the EZ-30’s voices. This
would come in handy, for example, when recording notes to MIDI sequencer. If you
are using the sequencer to play back the voices of the EZ-30, you would want to set this
to “off” - in order to avoid getting “double” notes, both from the keyboard and from the
sequencer. Normally, when playing the EZ-30 by itself, this should be set to “on.”

Troubleshooting
Problem

Possible Cause and Solution

When the EZ-30 is turned on or
off, a popping sound is temporarily produced.

This is normal and indicates that the EZ-30 is receiving electrical
power.

• The volume level is low.
• Tonal quality has degraded.
• Recorded songs are not
played correctly.
• The display indication is
turned off suddenly and the
panel settings are reset.

The battery voltage is low. Replace all six batteries with new ones,
or use the AC adaptor.

Noise is produced from the EZ30.

When using a mobile phone, noise is produced. Using a mobile
phone in close proximity to the EZ-30 may produce interference.
To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away
from the EZ-30.

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

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.
When using the Dictionary function (page 58), the keys in the right
hand section are used only for entering the chord root and type.

The effects (Reverb/DSP/Harmony) are not applied.

Each effect (Reverb/DSP/Harmony) is turned off. Select a type for
each effect. (See page 48, 49, 50.)

The auto accompaniment
doesn’t turn on, even when
pressing the [ACMP ON/OFF]
button.

When playing back one of the Pianist styles (#97–#106), the
rhythm cannot be heard. The Pianist styles have no drums or bass
- only piano accompaniment.

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

The EZ-30 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.

Auto accompaniment is not
played correctly.

The accompaniment volume setting is low. Refer to page 61 to
raise the volume level.
The auto accompaniment split point is set incorrectly for the played
chords. See page 44 to set a correct split point.

The polarity of the footswitch is
reversed.

You turned on the power to the EZ-30 while pressing the footswitch. Turn the power off, then turn it on again without pressing
the footswitch.

83

Data Backup & Initialization
Data Backup
Except for the data listed below, all EZ-30 panel settings are reset to their initial settings
whenever the power is turned on. The data listed below are backed up i.e. retained in memory - as long as an AC adaptor is connected or a set of batteries is
installed.
• User Song Data
• Song Volume
• Registration Memory Data
• Registration Memory Bank Number
• Metronome Volume

• Touch On/Off
• Tuning
• Grade On/Off
• Talking On/Off
• Guide Voice On/Off

Data Initialization
All data can be initialized and restored to the factory preset condition by turning on the
power while holding the highest (rightmost) white key on the keyboard.
“CLr Backup” will appear briefly on the display.

1 Press the [STANDBY/ON] switch to turn off the power to the EZ-30.
2 While holding down the highest white key, press the [STANDBY/ON] switch to
turn on the power to the EZ-30 to initialize the data. When initialization is complete, the display indicates “CLr Backup.”

All Registration Memory and User song data, plus the other settings listed
above, will be erased and/or changed when the data initialization procedure is
carried out.
• Carrying out the data initialization procedure will usually restore normal operation if the EZ-30 freezes or begins to act erratically for any reason.
• Refer to page 74 for information on initializing flash memory.

84

Voice List
■ Maximum Polyphony
The EZ-30 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.
• The Voice List includes MIDI program change numbers for each voice. Use
these program change numbers when playing the EZ-30 via MIDI from an external device.
• Some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes have
been released while the sustain pedal (footswitch) is held.

Description

Harmony types 1–5 are pitch-based and add one-, two- or threenote harmonies to the single-note melody played in the right
hand.
These types only sound when chords are played in the auto
accompaniment section of the keyboard.

3

3

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 54).
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 (6–12) create two-note trills (alternating
notes) when two notes are held.

3

• 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.

NOTE:
*1 By default (factory settings) the EZ-30 ordinarily functions as
a 16-channel multi-timbral tone generator, and incoming
data does not affect the panel voices or panel settings.
However, the MIDI messages listed below do affect the
panel voices, auto accompaniment, and songs.
• MIDI Master Tuning
• System exclusive messages for changing the Reverb
Type, Chorus Type, and DSP Type.

■ Effect map
* If the received value does not contain an effect type in the TYPE LSB, the LSB will be directed to TYPE 0.
* The numbers in parentheses in front of the Effect Type names correspond to the number indicated in the display.
* By using an external sequencer, which is capable of editing and transmitting the system exclusive messages and parameter
changes, you can select the Reverb, Chorus and DSP effect types which are not accessible from the EZ-30 panel itself. When
one of the effects is selected by the external sequencer, “ - ” will be shown on the display.
