Voice Category List (page 106)

Changing the knob settings does not immediately change the sound. Newly assigned effects will only change the sound when the knobs are rst operated after the new effect has been selected.
Some Ideas for Using the Knobs
Number/Effect Try This Select a synth-type lead or pad voice (page 106). Turn Knob B all the way up and operate Knob A while playing for some spacey, oating 1980s effects. Select a voice that sounds as though it already has reverb and chorus effects applied, and turn Knob A and Knob B all the way down to hear the direct sound of the voice. You can then turn the Knob A and Knob B settings up to add extra impact and richness to the voice. Select a piano voice, and turn Knob B all the way up and Knob A to about the 3 oclock position. This should give you a majestic, organ-like sound. The attack time is quite long so play the keys and hold them to let the sound come in fully. Ideal for slow pieces. Select style 39, Euro Trance. Turn accompaniment on and start style playback (page 34). Set Knob B to about 3 oclock, and Knob A to about 8 oclock. The overall sound of the style should be a bit mufed, with the drums emphasized for solid rhythmic impact. Play a style and/or arpeggio (page 14) and use Knob A to adjust the tempo.

The Metronome

The instrument includes a metronome with adjustable tempo and time signature. Use it to set the tempo that is most comfortable for you.

Start the metronome

Turn the metronome on and start it by pressing the [METRONOME] button. To stop the metronome, press the [METRONOME] button again.

In the C major triad shown above, the lowest note is the root of the chord (this is the chords 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 thirdfour half steps (semitones) Minor thirdthree 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.
Major chord CM Minor chord Cm Augmented chord C aug Diminished chord C dim

Minor 3rd

Major 3rd
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 atted seventh, what alterations or tensions it uses. all at a glance.

Power Requirements

Although the instrument 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.
Using an AC Power Adaptor

q Make sure that the power of the instrument is off
(the backlit display is off).
Use the specied adaptor (PA-130, or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the instrument.
w Connect the AC power adaptor to the power supply
e Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.
AC power adaptor AC outlet
For battery operation the instrument requires six 1.5V AA size, LR6 or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline batteries are recommended.) When battery power becomes too low for proper operation, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other problems may occur. When this happens, make sure to replace all batteries, following the precautions listed below. If necessary, also make sure to save all important User data (see page 62), since custom panel settings are lost when the batteries are removed.
Use alkaline batteries for this instrument. Other types of batteries (including rechargeable batteries) may have sudden drops of power when battery power becomes low, possibly resulting in loss of data in the ash memory. Make sure to install the batteries with the proper orientation, maintaining the correct polarity (as shown). Incorrect battery installation may result in heat, re and/or leaking of corrosive chemicals. When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries. Do not use different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the same time. If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from it, in order to prevent possible uid leakage from the battery. Please use the power adaptor when transferring data to ash memory. Batteries (including rechargeable types) can be drained rapidly by this type of operation. If the batteries do become drained during a data transfer, both the data being transferred and the data currently in the transfer destination will be lost.

Using Batteries

q Open the battery compartment cover located on the
instruments bottom panel. w Insert the six new alkaline batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the side of the compartment. e Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks rmly in place.

The backup data, including the ve User Songs is transmitted/received as a single le. As a result, all backup data (including the ve Songs) will be overwritten every time you transmit or receive. Keep this in mind when transferring data. Do not rename the backup le on the computer. If you do so, it will not be recognized when transferred to the instrument.

Troubleshooting

Problem When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping sound is temporarily produced. When using a mobile phone, noise is produced. There is no sound even when the keyboard is played or when a Song or Style is being played back. Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound seems to be cut off. Playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard does not produce any sound. The volume is too soft. The sound quality is poor. The rhythm stops unexpectedly or will not play. The recorded data of the Song, etc. does not play correctly. The LCD display suddenly goes dark, and all panel settings are reset. The Style or Song does not play back when the [START/STOP] button is pressed.

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. Check the Local Control on/off. (See page 59.) The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 notes including Dual voice, Split Voice, auto accompaniment, song, and Metronome. Notes exceeding this limit will not sound. When using the Dictionary function (page 54), the keys in the right hand area are used only for entering the chord root and type.
The batteries are low or dead. Replace all six batteries with completely new ones, or use the optional AC adaptor.
Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF; refer to External Clock Settings on page 59. Make sure that the Style Volume (page 53) is set to an appropriate level. Is the Split Point set at an appropriate key for the cords you are playing? Set the Split Point at an appropriate key (page 47). Is the ACMP ON indicator showing in the display? If it is not showing press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button so that it does show.
The Style does not sound properly.
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 ngerings will produce a chord based on the previously played chord. Playing two same root keys in the adjacent octaves produces accompaniment based only on the root. This is not a malfunction. Style number 098106 (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 auto accompaniment is turned on. 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. Always press the [STYLE] button rst when you are going to use any style-related function. The method of sounding the harmony effect (0126) differs depending on the selected type. For Types 0105, turn the Auto Accompaniment on and play it by pressing a chord in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard, then play some keys in the right-hand side to get the harmony effect. For Types 0626, turning the Auto Accompaniment on or off has no effect. However, it is necessary to play two notes simultaneously for Types 0612.
