Actual keyboard range (DGX-505 = 88 keys/DGX-305 = 76 keys)

61 keys of the keyboard’s range are shown on the display. The DGX-505 actually has 88 keys, while the DGX-305 has 76 keys. In some songs that include very high or low notes, those notes may fall outside the displayed range and may not be shown on the display. In such cases an “over” indicator appear to the left or right of the graphic keyboard. Use the [+] or [-] button to shift the keyboard left or right so you can see the notes (the ● marker will appear on the appropriate key in the display). Notes that actually fall outside the keyboard’s range cannot be used in the lesson.
