Connecting to a Computer Importing and Transferring Rhythm Data from Other Models You can transfer rhythm data from other models by loading it from a memory card, or by using Data Manager to transfer the data from a computer to Digital Keyboard memory. For information about actual operations, see “Importing Data from Various Storage Media” (page E-142). • Use of a memory card with a capacity that is less than 2GB is not supported.
Reference Error Messages Display Message Format Cause Required Action 1. The current memory card format is not compatible with this Digital Keyboard. 1. Format the memory card on the Digital Keyboard (page E-132). 2. The memory card capacity is greater than 32GB. 2. Use a memory card with a capacity of 32GB or less. 3. You are trying to use an SDXC card. 3. SDXC cards not supported. Use an SD or SDHC memory card. 4. There is something wrong with the memory card. 4. Use a different memory card.
Reference Display Message Memory Full Cause Required Action 1. There is not enough memory capacity required for pattern sequencer operations. 1. To record new data of some part of some accompaniment pattern, clear another part and/or another accompaniment patterns. If you want to use Easy Edit, select a different rhythm from the one that was selected when the error message appeared. 2. Remaining memory capacity became too low during music preset editing. 2.
Reference Troubleshooting Symptom Action Included Accessories I can’t find something that should be included with the product. Carefully check inside all of the packing materials. Power Requirements Power will not turn on. • Check the AC adaptor or make sure that the batteries are facing correctly (page E-9). • Replace the batteries with new ones or switch over to AC adaptor power (page E-9).
Reference Symptom Action Some notes are cut off while they are playing. Notes are cut off whenever the number of notes being sounded exceeds the maximum polyphony value of 64 (21 to 32 for some tones). This does not indicate malfunction. The volume or tone setting I configured has changed. • Adjust the main volume setting (page E-13). • Turn power off and then back on to initialize all Digital Keyboard settings (page E-13).

Reference Operating Precautions Be sure to read and observe the following operating precautions. ■ Location Avoid the following locations for this product. • Areas exposed to direct sunlight and high humidity • Areas subjected to temperature extremes • Near a radio, TV, video deck, or tuner The above devices will not cause malfunction of the product, but the product can cause interference in the audio or video of a nearby device.
Reference DSP Effect List Preset DSP List The table below shows the preset DSPs that can be selected by the procedure under “To use a DSP” (page E-34). • The “Number” column shows DSP numbers, while the “Screen Name” shows the DSP name that appears on the display. • The DSPs of this Digital Keyboard consist of the 46 “types” shown in the “DSP Type List” (page E-151). A preset DSP is a variation that is derived from one of these 46 types.
Reference DSP Type List All of the Digital Keyboard’s preset DSPs belong to one of the DSP types shown in the table below. When creating a user DSP (page E-35) or when using the tone editor (page E-44) to edit the DSP applied to a tone, you need to select one of the DSP types in the table. • Type numbers 01 through 14 are single type DSPs, while numbers 15 through 46 are dual type DSPs. A single type DSP is one with a single structure, while a dual type is a combination of two single type DSPs.
Reference DSP Parameter List ■ Single Type DSP Parameters 01: Wah This is a “wah” effect that can automatically affect the frequency using an LFO. Parameters and Value Ranges: 1 :Resonance (0 to 127) Adjusts the strength of resonance. 2 :Manual (0 to 127) Adjusts the wah filter reference frequency. 3 :LFO Rate (0 to 127) Adjusts the LFO rate. 4 :LFO Depth (0 to 127) Adjusts the LFO depth. 5 :LFO Waveform (off, sin, tri, random) Selects the LFO waveform.
Reference 08: Flanger 11: Reflection Applies wildly pulsating and metallic reverberation to sounds. LFO waveform is selectable. Parameters and Value Ranges: 1 :LFO Rate (0 to 127) Adjusts the LFO rate. 2 :LFO Depth (0 to 127) Adjusts the LFO depth. 3 :LFO Waveform (sin, tri, random) Selects the LFO waveform. 4 :Feedback (0 to 127) Adjusts the strength of feedback. An effector that extracts early reflections from reverb. Applies acoustic presence to sounds.
Reference 14: Lo-Fi ■ Dual Type DSP Parameters Applies various types of noise to the input signal to reproduce a retro Lo-Fi sound. Includes wow and flutter for rotational fluctuation like that in tapes and records, a Noise 1 generator that generates continual FM radio type, and a Noise 2 generator that generates record play types scratch noise. Parameters and Value Ranges: 1 :Wow and Flutter Rate (0 to 127) Adjusts the wow and flutter rate.
Reference Fingering Guide Fingered 1, Fingered 2 Chords Fingered 3, Full Range Chords In addition to the chords that can be fingered with Fingered 1 and Fingered 2, the following chords also are recognized.
E-156 Root C C#/(Db) D (D#)/Eb E F F#/(Gb) • Since the chord input range is limited, this model may not support some of the chords shown above.
