Timing Indicator

The timing indicator helps you become familiar with tunes you are playing for the first time by indicating the timing of notes you play on the keyboard. Timing is easier to see when you use a slow tempo during lesson play.

Using the Timing Indicator

The timing indicator shows the timing of notes contained in the currently selected part (R or L). Notes are indicated as two-segment blocks that scroll from the top of the display, down to the bottom. A note is played when its block reaches the bottom of the display.

Note played here

Each two-segment block can indicate one or more notes, depending on the tune you are playing.

NOTE

The Timing Indicator shows note timing whenever you play back a Song Bank tune and during a 3-Step Lesson.

Note that the Timing Indicator shows approximate timing only. During a tune, the indicated timing can be anywhere from an eight note to a 32nd off of actual timing.

Turning Off Key Lighting

1. Press the KEY LIGHT button.

The KEY LIGHT indicator disappears when the key light system is turned off.

Press the KEY LIGHT button again to turn key lighting back on.

KEY LIGHT indicator

NOTE

Key lighting turns on automatically in any of the following cases:

When keyboard power is turned on.

When demo tune play is started.

When the SONG BANK button is pressed in the normal mode (page E-22).

When the power on alert function operates (page E-13).

Number of Simultaneously Lit Keys

Up to four keyboard keys can be lit at the same time.

To change the tone used for the melody

of a Song Bank tune

1. Following step 3 of the procedure on page E-22, press the TONE button.

Both the SONG BANK indicator and TONE indicator appear, along with the tone number and name of the tone that is currently assigned to the keyboard.

2.Input a value to select the tone you want to use.

NOTE

Selecting another Song Bank tune switches the tone setting to the newly selected tune’s preset melody tone.

The tone assigned to the keyboard is the same one specified for the melody of the Song Bank tune.

The above procedure can be used to change the Song Bank melody tone before starting play or while play is already in progress.

You can also change the tone of two-hand tunes (tune numbers 85 to 99). Note however, that selecting a sustainable tone (like an organ tone) when using 3-Step Lesson Step 1 or Step 2 (in which accompaniment waits for correct input from you before proceeding), can cause notes of the auto accompaniment to be sustained while the keyboard is waiting for your input. If this happens, play something on the keyboard to stop the sustained note.
