of what you and your keyboard can do. You can  
play the tunes either one at a time or consecutively,  
and you can turn off the melody or accompaniment

Most tones on this keyboard have been  
recorded and processed using a technique  
called digital sampling. To ensure a high  
level of tonal quality, samples are taken in  
the low, mid, and high ranges and are then  
combined to sound amazingly close to the  
originals. You might notice very slight  
differences in volume or sound quality for  
some tones when you play them at different  
positions on the keyboard. This is an  
unavoidable result of multiple sampling and  
is not a malfunction.

You do not have to press the key marked

This chart shows the 15 chord types you

standard fingering.  
The number of accompaniment keys you

plays. This chart shows the chord type that  
plays when you press one, two, three, or  
four accompaniment keys at the same time.  
Although the chart shows only one possible  
fingering position for each chord, it is  
possible to play a chord using several  
different positions. For example, the  
following three positions produce the same

When you play an aug, 7 5, or dim7 chord,

The prerecorded tune numbers 00 through

tune numbers 85 through 99 are for two-  
handed play.  
4. To stop the session, press START/STOP.  
The STEP indicator turns off.  
You can also press any key on the  
keyboard instead of ONE KEY PLAY. You  
do not have to worry about pressing the  
correct key, just concentrate on pressing  
the key in time.  
The keyboard is still in the lesson mode,  
so you can restart the lesson by  
pressing STEP 1, STEP 2, or STEP 3.  
1. Press SONG. The SONG indicator lights  
and the currently selected song number  
appears.  
To exit the lesson mode and return to  
normal mode, press SONG.  
The rhythm (percussion) part does not  
sound during slow play.  
2. Look up the number of the tune you  
want to play in the song list and input its  
two-digit number. Precede a single-digit  
number with 0. For example, to select  
07 (“I Just Called to Say I Love You”),  
press 0 7.  
Up to four keyboard keys can be lit at the  
same time.  
You can press ONE KEY PLAY, STEP 1,  
STEP 2, and STEP 3 any time to enter  
lesson mode and start practicing,  
except while a demo tune is playing (in  
which case the previously selected tune  
starts). The first time the keyboard is  
turned on, it automatically selects song  
00 (“My Heart Will Go On”). M  
When using an auto-accompaniment tune,  
the lights indicate which note to play and  
how long that note should be played. A key  
with a steady light is the one you should  
play, and it stays lit for as long as the note  
should last. A key with a flashing light  
indicates the next note you play.  
If you enter an incorrect first digit, press  
SONG to clear your entry, then enter the  
correct digit.  
When a key light goes out momentarily then  
lights again, it indicates that the same note  
should be played in succession.  
In the Normal Play mode (Step 3), the  
applicable key remains lit as long as its  
note plays. The key for the next note to  
be played does not flash. Keys light

To check which part is active now, press

STEP 1 or STEP 2 to return to the level you  
want, if necessary.  
Step 1: Easy Play  
• For the accompaniment, the root  
note and other notes that form the  
chord alternately light. For example,  
for the chord C-E-G, the C key and  
E/G keys light alternately.  
After a count sounds (and the intro  
measures if the selected tune has intro  
measures), the keyboard waits for you  
to play the first note. Press either ONE  
KEY PLAY button. The keyboard plays  
the first note of the melody for an auto-  
accompaniment tune or the right hand  
part for two-hand tunes and the auto-  
accompaniment or the left hand part.  
Keep on pressing either ONE KEY PLAY  
button in time with the music. You might  
want to use two fingers to press either  
ONE KEY PLAY button alternately for  
tunes that have rapid tempo.  
• Some tunes use chords (such as C6)  
that cannot be played with the  
FINGERED setting. In the  
FINGERED mode, even if you finger  
the chords according to the keys that  
are lit, chords might sound differently  
from the ones produced during demo  
play.

acoustical interval between the tones of any  
two keys on the keyboard. For example, the  
difference between C and C or B and B  
is one semitone. You can transpose the key  
down 6 semitones (to an F ) and up 5  
semitones (to an F) — a full octave.

Each preset tone plays within a specified

As you raise the key, 1 is C , 2 is D,

When you select preset tones 75 through 79

Changing the key does not affect the

Tuning the Keyboard  
You cannot tune the keyboard while a  
prerecorded tune is displayed or playing.  
The number on the display is the number of  
cents to which the keyboard is currently  
tuned, compared to its default pitch. A cent  
is the measurement representing the  
acoustical interval between two tones. 1200  
cents equal 1 octave. You can tune the  
keyboard to within 50 cents (101 levels) of  
its default pitch.  
You can use the number keypad to raise  
the pitch by entering the cent change value.  
The keyboard automatically resets the  
tuning pitch to the default value of 00  
(cents) each time you turn off the keyboard  
or play the prerecorded tunes (by pressing  
DEMO or SONG).
