Explanation
Specifies whether the loudness of the notes you play from the keyboard will be fixed (OFF) or not (ON).
Specifies the loudness of each note when the above "Kbd Velo Sw" is OFF.
Specifies the split point (the key at which the keyboard will be divided) used in Split mode. This will be the low-
est note of the Upper Part. 60 corresponds to C4.
Raises or lowers the pitch in steps of one octave for Main mode, the Upper Part of Split mode, or the first Tone
of Dual mode.
* In the case of a drum set, this does not transpose the pitch; rather, it shifts the set of drum/percussion sounds
that are assigned to the keyboard.
Raises or lowers the pitch in steps of one octave for the second Tone of Dual mode.
Raises or lowers the pitch in steps of one octave for the Lower Part of Split mode.
Adjusts the volume for Main mode, the Upper Part of Split mode, or the first Tone of Dual mode.
Adjusts the volume for the second Tone of Dual mode.
Adjusts the volume for the Lower Part of Split mode.
Adjusts the Chord Bass volume.
When [BACKING TRACK] is lit and the backing is stopped, the bass will sound according to the chord you play
in the left hand.
Adjusts the volume of the music style's drum part.
Adjusts the volume of the music style's bass part.
Adjusts the volume of the music style's backing parts 1–6.
Adjusts the panning (left/right stereo position) for Main mode, the Upper Part of Split mode, or the first Tone of
Dual mode.
RND: The pan position will change randomly for each note.
L63–0–R63: Values beginning with "L" place the sound at the left, 0 at the center, and "R" at the right.
Adjusts the panning (left/right stereo position) for the second Tone of Dual mode.
RND: The pan position will change randomly for each note.
L63–0–R63: Values beginning with "L" place the sound at the left, 0 at the center, and "R" at the right.
Adjusts the panning (left/right stereo position) for the Lower Part of Split mode.
RND: The pan position will change randomly for each note.
L63–0–R63: Values beginning with "L" place the sound at the left, 0 at the center, and "R" at the right.
This lets you use simple fingering to specify a chord without having to play all the notes in the chord.
OFF: The chord will consist of only the note(s) you play on the keyboard in the Lower Part.
MODE 1: You can play chords as described in "Chord Intelligence" (p. 41).
MODE 2: You can specify chords in the following four ways.
Major chords: Play the root note of the chord
Minor chords: Play the root note and the black key located at its left
Seventh chords: Play the root note and the white key located at its left
Minor seventh chords: Play the root note + black key at left + white key at left
Selects how the backing part will sound.
OFF: When you take your hand off the left side of the keyboard, instrumental sounds other than the drums of
the backing part will stop; only the rhythm part will continue sounding.
ON: The chord you played in the left hand will be remembered. The backing will continue playing with that
chord until you play another chord.
Specifies how Chord Bass will be sounded.
OFF: The root note of the chord you play will sound.
ON: The lowest note of the chord you play will sound.
Selects the scale setting.
EQUAL (Equal temperament): This is the method of tuning that is most widely used in Western music, in which
ARABIC (Arabic temperament): Compared to equal temperament, E and B are half a semitone low, and C#, F#,
Specifies the part(s) to which the Scale setting will apply.
MAIN: The scale setting applies to Main mode, the Upper Part of Split mode, and the first Tone of Dual mode.
ALL: The scale setting applies to all parts.
As an alternative to the temperament commonly used in Western music, you can adjust the pitch of each note to
create temperaments used in other musical cultures or historical periods (e.g., Oriental temperaments, or tem-
peraments used in the Baroque era).
You can adjust the pitch of each note in the octave (C, C#, D, Eb, E, F, F#, G, Ab, A, Bb, B). These settings are
applied to every note of the same name (i.e., the C of each octave, the C# of each octave, etc.) Most often, the pitch
is adjusted one quarter tone upward or downward, so you will select a value of 50 or -50.
the octave is divided into twelve equal steps.
and Ab are half a semitone high. The intervals G–B, C–E, F–Ab, Bb–C#, and
Eb–F3 are a neutral third (between a major third and minor third).
