For the Instrument

Problem When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping sound is temporarily produced. Possible Cause and Solution This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical power. 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 instruments 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. The style or song does not play back when the [START/STOP] button is pressed. When using the Dictionary function (page 82), the keys in the right hand area are used only for entering the chord root and type. 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. This is not a malfunction. Style number 121 and style numbers (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. 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 polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power. 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. Make sure the Language setting in the FUNCTION display is set to English. (See page 14)

The easy song arranger can only be used with songs that include chord data.

Harmony Type

Description
Harmony types 0105 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.
Trill 1/6 note Trill 1/8 note
Trill 1/12 note Trill 1/16 note
Types 626 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 (0612) create two-note trills (alternating notes) when two notes are held. The Tremolo effect Types (1319) repeat all held notes (up to four). The Echo effect Types (2026) create delayed repeats of each note played.
