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:
• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the inter-
nal 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 liq-
uids 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 quali-
fied Yamaha service personnel.
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-5C or an equivalent recom-
mended 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 instru-
ment or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• 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 posi-
tion where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an out-
let, always hold the plug itself and not the cord.
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a mul-
tiple-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 over-
heating, 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 pre-
vent 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 chemi-
cal burns.
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic compo-
nents, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the
power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to mini-
mum. 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 disfigu-
ration 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 interfer-
ence 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-impreg-
nated 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 instru-
ment, 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 instru-
ment 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 ACCI-
DENTAL 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.
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

Setting Up
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 environmen-
tally friendly than batteries and does not
deplete resources.
■Using an AC Power Adaptor
Use of an AC power adaptor is recom-
mended, especially when you use the
EZ-30 for a long period of time.
1Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON]
switch of the EZ-30 is set to
STANDBY.
2Connect one end of the adaptor to the
DC IN 10-12V jack on the rear panel
of your EZ-30.
3Connect the other end to a suitable
electrical outlet.
WARNING
Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5C AC Power Adap-
tor (or other adaptor specifically
recommended by Yamaha) to power your
instrument from the AC mains.
The use of other adaptors may result in irrepa-
rable damage to both the adaptor and the EZ-
30.
CAUTION
Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using
the EZ-30, or during electrical storms.
■Using Batteries
1Turn the instrument upside-down and
remove the battery compartment lid.
2Insert six 1.5-volt “D” size, R20P
(LR20) or equivalent batteries as
shown in the illustration, making sure
that the positive and negative termi-
nals are properly aligned.
3Replace the lid.
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 out-
let, and/or remove the batteries from the
instrument.

BATTERIES 1.5 V x 6

For private practicing and playing without
disturbing others, connect a set of stereo
headphones to the rear panel PHONES/OUT-
PUT jack. Sound from the built-in speaker
system is automatically cut off when you
insert a headphone plug into this jack.
CAUTION
Do not use headphones for a long time at high
volume levels. Otherwise, you may damage
your hearing.
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 vol-
ume 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 mini-
mum levels and gradually raise the volume
controls while playing the instrument to set the
desired listening level.
This feature lets you use an optional foot-
switch (Yamaha FC4 or FC5) to sustain the
sound of the voices. The footswitch func-
tions the same way as a damper pedal on an
acoustic piano - press and hold down the
footswitch as you play the keyboard to sus-
tain the sound.
•Make sure that the footswitch plug
is properly connected to the SUS-
TAIN 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.
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 sepa-
rately) 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.

STEP 2Lesson
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.
1Select 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.
21
15
Lesson 2: Waiting
In Lesson 2, you practice playing the notes correctly as they appear in the dis-
play 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 accompani-
ment. The accompaniment continues playing in tempo.
2When you’re finished, stop the Lesson.
❋Want to find out more? See page 34.
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 gener-
ates 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 indi-
cation (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.
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.)

Looking up Chords in the dictionary
The Dictionary function is essentially a built-in “chord book” that shows you the indi-
vidual 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.

Play a chord, following the Light Guide.
The display indicates the notes of the
GM7 chord, and the Light Guide indi-
cates 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.
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 dia-
gram 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
To better understand the intervals and
the numbers used to represent them in
the chord name, study this diagram of

MIDI Functions
The EZ-30 is MIDI-compatible, featuring MIDI IN and MIDI
OUT terminals and providing a variety of MIDI-related con-
trols. 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?
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 (previ-
ously 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 elec-
tronic 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)
Pluck a string and the body resonates
the sound.

MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which allows
electronic musical instruments to communicate with each other, by sending and receiv-
ing 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 mes-
sages. 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.
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.
The messages transmitted/received by the EZ-30 are shown in the MIDI Implementa-
tion Chart on page 98.
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.).
Message Name EZ-30 Operation/Panel Setting
Exclusive Message Reverb/chorus/DSP settings, etc.
Realtime Messages Clock setting
Start/stop operation
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.
77
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.
●You can record performance data created on the EZ-30 (performance using the key-
board and auto accompaniment: 1–16 channels) to an external sequencer (such as
sequence software on a computer). You can then edit the performance data on the
external sequencer and play it again on the EZ-30.
→ Initial send (See page 81.)
MIDI Terminals
In order to exchange MIDI data between multiple devices, each device must be con-
nected 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 infor-
mation 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).

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause and Solution
When the EZ-30 is turned on or
off, a popping sound is tempo-
rarily 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 EZ-
30. 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/Har-
mony) 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 foot-
switch. Turn the power off, then turn it on again without pressing
the footswitch.

carried out.
•Carrying out the data initialization procedure will usually restore normal opera-
tion if the EZ-30 freezes or begins to act erratically for any reason.
•Refer to page 74 for information on initializing flash memory.
85
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 exter-
nal device.
•Some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes have
been released while the sustain pedal (footswitch) is held.

hand.
These types only sound when chords are played in the auto
accompaniment section of the keyboard.
2 Trio Trio
3 Block Block
4 Country Country
5 Octave Octave
6 Trill 1/4 note Tril1/4 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; how-
ever, the actual speed of the effect depends on the Tempo set-
ting (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 = six-
teenth-note triplets.
•The Trill effect Types (6–12) 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.
