Read these cautions carefully before you assemble or use the keyboard stand. These cautions are to promote safe use of the stand and to prevent injury and damage from occurring to you and others. By following these cautions carefully, your keyboard stand will provide you with safe and prolonged use.
Be careful not to confuse parts, and be sure to install all parts in the correct direction. Please assemble in accordance with the sequence given below. Assembly should be carried out by at least two persons. Be sure to use the correct screw size, as indicated below. Use of incorrect screws can cause damage. Use the stand after assembly is complete. An uncompleted stand may overturn or the keyboard may drop. Always place the stand on a at, stable surface. Placing the stand on uneven surfaces may cause it to become unstable or overturn, the keyboard to drop, or injury. Do not use the stand for anything other than its designed purpose. Placing other objects on the stand may result in the object dropping or the stand overturning. Do not apply excessive force to the keyboard as it may cause the stand to overturn or the keyboard to drop. Make sure the stand is sturdy and safe, and all screws have been tight and rm before use. If not, the stand may overturn, the keyboard may drop, or may result in injury to the user. To disassemble, reverse the assembly sequence given below.
Have a phillips-head (+) screwdriver of the appropriate size ready.
z The parts shown in the Assembly Parts illustration will be used. Follow the assembly
instructions and select the parts as needed.

The instrument speakers are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack. The PHONES/ OUTPUT jack also functions as an external output. You can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a keyboard amplier, stereo system, mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio device to send the instruments output signal to that device.
Connecting a Footswitch (SUSTAIN Jack)
The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain as you play by pressing a footswitch. Plug the Yamaha FC5 footswitch into this jack and use it to switch sustain on and off.
NOTE Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning 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.
Connecting a Pedal Unit (PEDAL UNIT jack)
This jack is for connecting an optional LP-7 pedal unit. When connecting the pedal unit, make sure to also assemble the unit on the supplied keyboard stand.
NOTE Make sure that power is OFF when connecting or disconnecting the pedal.

Keyboard Stand

Pedal Unit Functions

The optional pedal unit has three foot pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano. The pedal unit does not affect the split voice when the keyboard is in split mode.

Damper (Right) Pedal

The damper pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the damper pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. A half-pedal effect lets you use the damper pedal to create partial sustain effects, depending on how far down you press the pedal.
* When using both the foot switch and pedal unit, the last effect applied takes priority.
When you press the damper pedal here, the notes you play before you release the pedal have a longer sustain.

Sostenuto (Center) Pedal

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will sustain as long as you hold the pedal (as if the damper pedal had been pressed) but all subsequently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played staccato.

Soft (Left) Pedal

When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding the note, the note will sustain as long as you hold the pedal.
The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing when it is pressed.

This instrument includes a performance assistant technology feature that lets you play along with a song and sound like a great pianist (even though you might be making lots of mistakes)! In fact, you can play any notes and still sound good! You could even just tap one key and the results would be a beautiful melody. So even if you cant play piano and cant read a note of music, you can have some musical fun.
Performance assistant technology offers four selectable types. Select the type that produces the best results for you.
Chord.. No matter where or what you play, the result will be musical, well-balanced sound. This type offers the greatest freedom, allowing you to play anything with both your left and right hands.
Chord/Free. If you can play simple right-hand melodies but have trouble with lefthand chords, this is the type for you. The Chord type applies to only the left-hand section of the keyboard, allowing you to easily play chords to support the melody you are playing with your right hand.
Melody. This type lets you play the melody of the selected song by playing any
keys with just one nger. Start playing melodies right away, even if youve never played a keyboard instrument before!
Chord/Melody. Play the melody of the selected song with one nger on the right-hand
section of the keyboard, and play chords on the left-hand section of the keyboard using the Chord type.
Refer to page 48 for more information on using performance assistant technology to help you play.

Chord Basics
Two or more notes played together constitute a chord. The most basic chord type is the triad consisting of three notes: the root, third, and fth degrees of the corresponding scale. A C major triad, for example, is made up of the notes C (the root), E (the third note of the C major scale), and G (the fth note of the C major scale).
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.

Types 1526 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 34). 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 Echo effect Types (1518) create delayed repeats of each note played. The Tremolo effect Types (1922) repeat all held notes (up to four). The Trill effect Types (2326) create two-note trills (alternating notes) when two notes are held. Harmony types 0110, 13 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.

Special Features of the DGX-630/YPG-635
Graded Hammer Standard Keyboard
Thanks to our experience as the worlds leading manufacturer of acoustic pianos, weve developed a keyboard with action thats virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Just as on a traditional acoustic piano, the keys of the lower notes have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more responsive to lighter playing. The keyboards sensitivity can even be adjusted to match your playing style. This Graded Hammer technology also enables the DGX-630/YPG-635 to provide authentic touch in a lightweight instrument.

Even when the switch is in the STANDBY position, electricity is still owing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.
Never attempt to turn the power off when a WRITING! message is shown in the display. Doing so can damage the ash memory and result in a loss of data.

Styles Are More Fun When You Understand Chords
Chords, created by playing multiple notes at the same time, are the basis for harmonic accompaniment. In this section well take a look at sequences of different chords played one after another, or chord sequences. Since each chord has its own unique coloreven if its different ngerings of the same chordthe chords you choose to use in your chord progressions have a huge inuence on the overall feel of the music you play. On page 28 you learned how to play colorful accompaniments using styles. Chord progressions are vital to creating interesting accompaniments, and with a little chord know-how you should be able to take your accompaniments to a new level. On these pages well introduce three easy-to-use chord progressions. Be sure to try them out with the instruments accompaniment styles. The style will respond to the chord progression you play, effectively creating a complete song.
Playing the Chord Progressions

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 106.) 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 87), 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 106. Make sure that the Style Volume (page 93) 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 82). 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 131 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 64 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 18)
