Using the Registration Memory

You cannot use the registration memory while you are using the synthesizer, memory, or demo tune functions.

You cannot delete a registration setup from memory, but you can store a different setup in its place.

You can use the keyboard’s MIDI function to save your setup data to your PC or other storage device.

Changing Keys

When you store a tone with DSP line turned on, all the DSP parameters are recalled as you select the tone.

4.Repeatedly press + or to change the parameter’s setting, or use the number buttons to directly enter a value for the parameter.

If you want to change another parameter, repeat Steps 3, 4, and 5.

5.To store the settings, press ￿ (ENTER) to display the tone number (￿,; ￿*￿) where you want to save the user tone. ￿

6.Repeatedly press + or – until the tone number you want appears.

7.Press ￿ (ENTER) to save the user tone. $￿￿￿￿￿/ appears briefly and the keyboard exits the Custom Tone Synthesizer mode.

Or, press ￿ (EXIT) to exit the Custom Tone Synthesizer mode without storing a new tone.

You cannot change the key while a

 

prerecorded tune is selected or playing.

A semitone is a measurement that

 

represents the acoustical interval between

￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿

the tones of any two keys on the keyboard.

For example, the difference between C and

C# or B and C is one semitone.

• The transpose setting also affects memory

playback (see “Playing Back from Song

Memory” on Page 17) and auto

accompaniment.

• The keyboard automatically resets the key

to the default value of 0 (middle C) each

time you play a pre-recorded tune.

Tuning the Keyboard

You cannot tune the keyboard while a prerecorded tune is displayed or playing.

The tuning setting also affects memory playback (see “Playing Back from Song Memory” on Page 17) and auto accompaniment.

The keyboard automatically resets the tuning pitch to the default value of 00 (cents) each time you turn off the keyboard.

Your keyboard can save different setups of controls in its registration memory. This lets you instantly recall your favorite settings.

The registration memory consists of four banks (0 – 3), each with four memory locations (1 – 4), totaling up to 16 settings. You can save each of the following settings in each registration memory: ￿

rhythm

tempo

split on/off

The keyboard automatically selects the key of middle C each time you turn it on. For added flexibility as you play, the keyboard lets you change (transpose) the musical key in which it plays. You can transpose the key up or down 24 semitones (two octaves). ￿

1.Press TOUCH/TRANSPOSE/SETTING, then repeatedly press ￿ or ￿ (CURSOR) until ￿￿￿￿#￿'" appears. The displayed number is the number of semitones to which the keyboard is set, compared to its default key.

2.Within 5 seconds, repeatedly press

or + to lower or raise the key. Each time you press or +, the key changes by 1 semitone. As you raise the key, 1 is

C#, 2 is D, and so on￿ . As you lower the key, –1 is B, –2 is B , –3 is A, and so on.

3.Press TOUCH/TRANSPOSE/SETTING to exit the menu setting mode.

Although your keyboard never goes out of tune, it lets you adjust its pitch to match other instruments or musical recordings.

A cent is the measurement that represents the acoustical interval between two tones. 1,200 cents equal 1 octave. You can tune the keyboard to within –99 to +99 of its default pitch.￿
