The Chord Book feature of this keyboard makes it possible for you to look up information about chords quickly and easily. Simply input the name of the chord and the keyboard keys you should press, the fingers you should use, and the notes that make up the chord appear on the display along with the chord name.

What is a chord?

A chord is made up of a root note, upon which is stacked a number of other notes. A variety of different chords can be created by changing the notes stacked onto a root.

<Example: C chord>


  Stacked notes

Root

Chord Names

Chords are named using upper-case letters from A through G, which indicate the root note of the chord. If the root note is a sharp or flat, the chord itself is sharp or flat. A chord name may also be followed by a degree number or other symbols that indicate certain character- istics about the chord.

<Examples>

<Note Names>


       

Sharps and flats can be referred to using either of the names shown here. The names in the upper row of this illustration are used by this keyboard, because they are the names that are most commonly used in musical notation.

Inverted Forms

There are a number of different ways to play the same chord. A form that is different from the basic form but still produces the same chord is called an ???inverted form.???

<Example: C chord>

To Look Up a Chord Using the Chord Book

5. Check to make sure that the chord name on the dis- play is the one you want. If it isn???t, repeat the above from step 2.

6. If the chord is correct, you can see its fingering on the graphic keyboard. Try playing the chord on the key- board.

<Example>

???The fingering that appears on the display is one standard fingering. You can also use other fingerings to match the size of your hands or to make it easier to progress from or to neighboring chords.

???You can also use the [+] and [???] buttons to change the dis- played chord name.

???The tone used to sound chords you play on the accompani- ment keyboard while using the Chord Book is the same tone used by the accompaniment part of the rhythm that was se- lected before you entered the Chord Book mode. Depending on the rhythm that was selected, some of the notes that make up a chord may be omitted when you play the chord on the accompaniment keyboard in the Chord Book Mode. This is due to the internal chord conversion function, arrangements, and polyphony limitations. Because of this, you should al- ways play the chords indicated on the display on the melo- dy keyboard (the range that does not have chord names print- ed above the keys).

??? NOTES ???

???Since the chord fingerings that appear on the display are selected to allow chord play within the accompaniment keyboard, inverted chord forms (page E-26) are often suggested. Inverted chord forms are useful to help you learn how to play chord variations that make it possible to move from one chord to another with minimal hand movement. These forms come in handy when using FINGERED Auto Accompaniment play.

???While a chord name is on the display, you can press keys on the accom- paniment keyboard to find out the fingerings of the same chord with a different root.

???You can also scroll through chord names using the [+] and [???] buttons.

???Chord fingerings that appear on the display are formed using only the keys within the range of the accompaniment keyboard (leftmost 18 keys). Chords that cannot be formed using the keys within this range are not displayed.

MIDI

What is MIDI?

The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which is the name of a worldwide standard for digital signals and connec- tors that makes it possible to exchange musical data between musi- cal instruments and computers (machines) produced by different manufacturers. MIDI compatible equipment can exchange keyboard key press, key release, tone change, and other data as messages.

Though you do not need any special knowledge about MIDI to use this keyboard as a stand-alone unit, MIDI operations require a bit of specialized knowledge. This section provides you with an overview of MIDI that will help to get you going.

MIDI Connections

MIDI messages are send out through the MIDI OUT terminal of one machine to the MIDI IN terminal of another machine over a MIDI cable. To send a message from this keyboard to another machine, for example, you must use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT termi- nal of this keyboard to the MIDI IN terminal of the other machine. To send MIDI messages back to this keyboard, you need to use a MIDI cable to connect the other machine???s MIDI OUT terminal to the MIDI IN terminal of this keyboard.

To use a computer or other MIDI device to record and playback the MIDI data produced by this keyboard, you must connect the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals of both machines in order send and re- ceive data.

MIDI sequencer

MIDI Channels

MIDI allows you to send the data for multiple parts at the same time, with each part being sent over a separate MIDI channel. There are 16 MIDI channels, numbered 1 through 16, and MIDI channel data is always included whenever you exchange data (key press etc.)

Both the sending machine and the receiving machine must be set to the same channel for the receiving unit to correctly receive and play data. If the receiving machine is set to Channel 2, for example, it re- ceives only MIDI Channel 2 data, and all other channels are ignored. With this keyboard, messages received over MIDI Channels 1, 2, 3, 4, and 10 can be used for multi-timbre play of up to five different in- strument parts. The tone and volume settings for these five channels must be controlled by messages sent from an external device.

When sending operation of this keyboard to an external device, Chan- nel 1 should be selected as the MIDI send channel.

E-30

General MIDI

General MIDI standardizes MIDI data for all sound source types, re- gardless of manufacturer. General MIDI specifies such factors as tone numbering, drum sounds, and available MIDI channels for all sound sources. This standard makes it possible for all MIDI equipment to reproduce the same nuances when playing General MIDI data, re- gardless of the manufacturer of the sound source.

Though the sound source of this keyboard is not General MIDI com- patible, you can still connect the keyboard to a computer or other MIDI equipment to playback General MIDI data that is widely avail- able in stores, over computer networks, and from other sources.

??? NOTES ???

???General MIDI data made up of a large number of parts may not play correctly on this keyboard.

???You will have most success playing back General MIDI data that has few parts and is made up of data on channels 1, 2, 3, 4, and 10.

Messages

There is a wide variety of messages defined under the MIDI stan- dard, and this section details the particular messages that can be sent and received by this keyboard.

NOTE ON/OFF

This message sends data when a key is pressed (NOTE ON) or re- leased (NOTE OFF).

A NOTE ON/OFF message include a note number (to indicate note whose key is being pressed or released) and velocity (keyboard pres- sure as a value from 1 to 127). NOTE ON velocity is always used to determine the relative volume of the note. This keyboard does not receive NOTE OFF velocity data.

Whenever you press or release a key on this keyboard, the correspond- ing NOTE ON or NOTE OFF message is sent by constant velocity from the MIDI OUT terminal.

??? NOTE ???

The pitch of a note depends on the tone that is being used, as shown in the Note Table on page A-1. Whenever this keyboard receives a note num- ber that is outside its range for that tone, the same tone in the nearest available octave is substituted.

PROGRAM CHANGE

This is the tone selection message. PROGRAM CHANGE can con- tain tone data within the range of 0 to 127.

A PROGRAM CHANGE message (0 to 99) is sent out through this keyboard???s MIDI OUT terminal whenever you manually change its tone number. Receipt of a PROGRAM CHANGE message from an external machine changes the tone setting of this keyboard (page E- 31).

This keyboard can send tone data within the range of 00 to 99 and receive tone data within the range of 0 to 127.

PITCH BEND

This message carries pitch bend information for smoothly sliding the pitch upwards or downwards during keyboard play. This keyboard does not send pitch bend data, but is can receive such data.

622A-E-032A

CONTROL CHANGE

This message adds effects such as vibrato and volume changes ap- plied during keyboard play. CONTROL CHANGE data includes a control number (to identify the effect type) and a control value (to specify the on/off status and depth of the effect).

The following is a list of data that can be received using CONTROL

CHANGE.

*Pressing the foot pedal causes the sustain effect (HOLD1) to be sent (control number 64).

Changing MIDI Settings

This keyboard lets you change the settings of two MIDI parameters: TONE MAP and KEYBOARD CHANNEL.

To change MIDI parameters

1. Press the TRANSPOSE/TUNE/MIDI button either three or four times to select the parameter you want.
