Main Features

❐255 tones

A wide selection of tones includes stereo piano and synthesized sounds, drum sets, and much more.

❐PIANO BANK button

The touch of a button takes you directly to piano tones and piano lessons.

❐Advanced 3-Step Lesson System

The 3-Step Lesson System lets you practice at your own pace. The keyboard automatically grades your performances, so you can trace your progress as you improve.

•3-Step Lesson System: Now you can learn the parts that make up the keyboard’s built-in tunes step-by-step. Guidance that appears on the monitor screen helps lead you down the path to music proficiency.

•Evaluation System: The keyboard can be configured to rate your performances during Step 1 and Step 2 lessons by assigning points. You can even have the keyboard report your points vocally, both part way through and at the end of a lesson.

❐Sing-along

Simply connect a commercially available microphone to the microphone jack and you can sing along with the keyboard’s built-in tunes.

❐100 built-in tunes, including piano pieces

Built-in tunes are divided into two groups: a Song Bank of 50 tunes with Auto Accompaniment, and a Piano Bank of 50 piano tunes. You can simply enjoy listening to the built-in tunes, or eliminate the melody part of a Song Bank tunes or either hand part of a Piano Bank tune, and then play along on the keyboard.

❐120 rhythms

A selection of rhythms cover rock, pops, jazz and just about any other musical style imaginable.

❐Auto Accompaniment

Simply play a chord and the corresponding rhythm, bass, and chord parts play along automatically. One Touch Presets instantly recalls the most suitable tone and tempo settings to match the rhythm you are using.

❐Musical Information System

A big LCD screen graphically shows you fingerings, keyboard keys to be pressed, and notes, making keyboard play more informative and enjoyable than ever before. A built-in backlight keeps the display easy to read, even in total darkness.

❐Song Memory function

•Record up to two parts in song memory for later playback. Realistic ensemble play can also be created using the Auto Accompaniment function.

•The on-screen keyboard guide shows fingerings for the melody as recorded songs are played back.

❐General MIDI compatibility

General MIDI tones let you connect to a personal computer and enjoy “desktop music” capabilities. This keyboard can be used as a desktop music input device or as a sound source, and it’s just the thing for playback of commercially available pre-recorded General MIDI music software.

❐Display Indications for Received MIDI Messages

When playing General MIDI data, you can have information (keyboard and pedal data) about a specific channel appear on the display. You can also turn off a specific channel and play its part on the keyboard. You can even turn off the output of a channel and play along on the keyboard.
