Main Features

❐On-screen fingering and timing indicators

•Easy-to-understand on-screen indicators help to simplify keyboard play, even for novices.

❐100 amazingly realistic tones

❐Enhanced auto-accompaniment function for greater versatility

•50 built in auto-accompaniment patterns.

❐100 Built-in tunes

•A total of 100 tunes comes built in for playback enjoyment or play-along practice.

❐3-Step Lesson System

•Develop your musical skills by following the keys as they light. First you become familiar with the timing of the notes by watching the keys light as you playback one of the 100 built-in tunes. Next, practice playing along at a pace that’s comfortable for you. Finally, try playing along at the normal tempo for the tune.

•A simulated human voice is used during Step 1 or Step 2 play to call out the fingers you should use to play the required notes (Voice Fingering). The timing of notes is also indicated on the display screen.

❐Auto Accompaniment

•Simply specify a chord and the keyboard automatically produces the matching rhythm, bass, and chord patterns. One-touch fill-ins make accompaniments sound interesting and natural.

❐Transpose Function

•An easy operation instantly changes the key of the keyboard.

❐MIDI compatibility

•Connecting to another MIDI device lets you sound notes on both this keyboard and the connected device by playing on this keyboard.

❐Microphone jack

•Connect a microphone (not supplied, available at your local RadioShack store) and you can sing along with tunes.
