3 WERCKMEISTER, KIRNBERGER This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems, which were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique character. The scale was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is often used when performing period music on the harpsichord. ARABIC1, ARABIC2 Use these tunings when playing Arabic music. Change the following settings as necessary.
Editing Voices (Voice Set) The instrument has a Voice Set feature that allows you to create your own Voices by editing some parameters of the existing Voices. Once you’ve created a Voice, you can save it as a User Voice to the USER drive or external devices for future recall. 2 1 Select the desired Voice (other than an Organ Flutes Voice). Organ Flutes Voices have a different editing method than described here. For instructions on editing the Organ Flutes Voices, see page 16.
Editable Parameters in the VOICE SET Displays The Voice Set parameters are organized into six different displays. The parameters in each display are described separately, below. NOTE The available parameters differ depending on the Voice. PIANO Page This display is available only when the Natural! piano Voice (page 3) is selected. TUNING CURVE Determines the tuning curve. Select “FLAT” if you feel the tuning curve of the piano Voice does not quite match that of other instruments Voices.
[4]/ [5] PART OCTAVE Shifts the octave range of the edited Voice up or down in octaves. When the edited Voice is used as any of the RIGHT 1–2 parts, the R1/R2 parameter is available; when the edited Voice is used as the LEFT part, the LEFT parameter is available. [6] MONO/POLY Determines whether the edited Voice is played monophonically or polyphonically. [7] PORTAMENTO TIME Sets the portamento time (pitch transition time) when the edited Voice is set to “MONO” above.
SOUND Page FILTER Filter is a processor that changes the timbre or tone of a sound by either blocking or passing a specific frequency range. The parameters below determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a certain frequency range. In addition to making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter can be used to produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects. BRIGHT (Brightness) Determines the cutoff frequency or effective frequency range of the filter (see diagram).
EFFECT/EQ Page 1 REVERB DEPTH/CHORUS DEPTH/DSP DEPTH/VIB ROTOR 2 Voices – Playing the Keyboard – [1]/ [2] REVERB DEPTH Adjusts the reverb depth. [3]/ [4] CHORUS DEPTH Adjusts the chorus depth. [5] DSP ON/OFF Determines whether the DSP is on or off. [6] DSP DEPTH Adjusts the DSP depth. If you want to re-select the DSP type, you can do so in the “2 DSP” menu explained below.
Disabling Automatic Selection of Voice Sets (Effects, etc.) Each Voice is linked to its default VOICE SET parameter settings. Usually these settings are automatically called up when a Voice is selected. However, you can also disable this feature by the operation in the relevant display as explained below. For example, if you want to change the Voice yet keep the same Harmony effect, set the HARMONY/ECHO parameter to OFF (in the display explained below). 1 Call up the operation display.

Chord Fingering Types SINGLE FINGER Makes it simple to produce orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys on the Chord section of the keyboard. This type is available only for Style playback. The abbreviated chord fingerings described below are used: C For a major chord, press the root key only. Cm 3 Cm 7 For a seventh chord, simultaneously press the root key and a white key to its left.
Style Playback Related Settings The instrument has a variety of Style playback functions which can be accessed in the display below. 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] [C] STYLE SETTING/SPLIT POINT/CHORD FINGERING TAB [L][R] STYLE SETTING 2 Use the [1] – [8] buttons for each setting.
[3] SYNCHRO STOP WINDOW This determines how long you can hold a chord before the Synchro Stop function is automatically cancelled. When the [SYNC STOP] button is turned on and this is set to a value other than “OFF,” this is automatically cancels the Synchro Stop function if you hold a chord for longer than the time set here. This conveniently resets Style playback control to normal, letting you release the keys and still have the Style play.
Split Point Settings These are the settings (two Split Points) that separate the different sections of the keyboard: the Chord section, the LEFT part section and the RIGHT 1 and 2 section. The two Split Point settings (below) are specified as note names. Chord section Split Point (L) Voice RIGHT 1–2 Voice LEFT 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] [C] STYLE SETTING/SPLIT POINT/CHORD FINGERING TAB [L][R] SPLIT POINT 2 Set the Split Point.
Calling up the Panel Settings to Match the Style (Repertoire) The convenient Repertoire function automatically calls up the most appropriate panel settings (Voice number, etc.) for the currently selected Style. Before using the Repertoire function, you need to import Music Finder records (see instructions described in the Owner's Manual, chapter 7). NOTE The settings shown here are Music Finder Records. You can choose additional settings by using the Music Finder feature.
Memorizing an Original One Touch Setting While the panel settings appropriate for each preset Style are pre-programmed as One Touch Settings, you can also register your favorite settings to create original One Touch Settings. Because the One Touch Setting data is included in a Style, the Save operation will be done as a Style on the Style Selection display. 1 Select the desired Style to correspond to your One Touch Setting. 2 Set up the panel controls (such as Voice, effects, and so on) as desired.
Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator) Styles are made up of fifteen different sections (Intro, Main, Ending, etc.) and each section has eight separate channels. With the Style Creator feature, you can create a Style by separately recording the channels, or by importing pattern data from other existing Styles. Sections Channels 3 You can use one of the three different methods described below to create a Style. The created Style can also be edited.
Realtime Recording In the BASIC Page, you can create a single Style by recording the individual channels one-by-one, using realtime recording. Realtime Recording Characteristics — Loop Recording and Overdub Recording • Loop Recording Style playback repeats the rhythm patterns of several measures in a “loop,” and Style recording is also done using loops. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure MAIN section, the two measures are repeatedly recorded.
5 Use the [5]/[6] buttons to determine the length (number of measures) of the selected section, then press the [D] (EXECUTE) button to actually enter the specified length. 6 Specify the channel to be recorded by simultaneously holding down the [F] (REC CH) button and pressing the appropriate numbered button, [1] – [8]. To cancel the selection, press the corresponding [1] – [8] button again.
9 Start recording by pressing the STYLE [START/STOP] button. Playback of the specified section starts. Since the accompaniment pattern plays back repeatedly in a loop, you can record individual sounds one by one, listening to the previous sounds as they play. For information on recording to channels other than the rhythm channels (RHY1, 2), refer to the section “Rules when recording non-rhythm channels” below. NOTE You can turn off the desired channels by pressing the corresponding [1] – [8] buttons.
Step Recording In the EDIT Page, you can record notes with absolutely precise timing. This Step Recording procedure is essentially the same as that for Song Recording (page 45) with the exception of the points listed below: • In the Song Creator, the End Mark position can be changed freely; in the Style Creator, it cannot be changed. This is because the length of the Style is automatically fixed, depending on the selected section.
4 Select the channel for which you wish to replace the pattern by using the [A] – [D] and [F] – [I] buttons. Call up the Style Selection display by pressing the same button again. Select the Style containing the pattern you want to replace in the Style Selection display. To return to the previous screen, press the [EXIT] button after selecting the Style.
Editing the Rhythmic Feel 1 2 3 1 3 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – 1 In the GROOVE Page, use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the edit menu, then edit the data by using the [1] – [8] buttons. 1 GROOVE This lets you add swing to the music or change the “feel” of the beat by making subtle shifts in the timing (clock) of the Style. The Groove settings are applied to all channels of the selected Style.
2 DYNAMICS This changes the velocity/volume (or accent) of certain notes in the Style playback. The Dynamics settings are applied to each channel or all channels of the selected Style. CHANNEL Selects the desired channel (part) to which Dynamics is to be applied. [3]/ [4] ACCENT TYPE Determines the type of accent applied — in other words, which notes in the part(s) are emphasized with the Dynamics settings. [6] STRENGTH Determines how strongly the selected Accent Type (above) will be applied.
Editing Data for Each Channel 1 4 5 2 3 1 3 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – In the CHANNEL Page, use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the edit menu. 1 QUANTIZE Same as in the Song Creator (page 55), with the exception of the two additional available parameters below. Eighth notes with swing Sixteenth notes with swing 2 VELOCITY CHANGE Boosts or cuts the velocity of all notes in the specified channel, according to the percentage specified here.
Making Style File Format Settings The Style File Format (SFF) combines all of Yamaha’s auto accompaniment (Style playback) know-how into a single unified format. By using the Style Creator, you can take advantage of the power of the SFF format and freely create your own Styles. The chart shown below indicates the process by which the Style is played back. (This does not apply to the rhythm track.) These parameters can be set via the Style Creator feature, in the PARAMETER Page.
1 In the PARAMETER Page, use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the edit menu. For details of the edit menu, see page 34. 1 4 2 3 3 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – 2 Use the [1]/[2] (CHANNEL) buttons to select the channel to be edited. The selected channel is shown at the upper left of the display. 3 Use the [3] – [8] buttons to edit the data. For details on editable parameters, see pages 34 – 37. 4 Press the [I] (SAVE) button to execute the Save operation.
2 NTR/NTT [3]/ [4] NTR (Note Transposition Rule) Determines the relative position of the root note in the chord, when converted from the Source Pattern in response to chord changes. Refer to the list below. [5] – [7] NTT (Note Transposition Table) Sets the note transposition table for the source pattern. Refer to the list below. [8] NTT BASS ON/ OFF The channel for which this is set to ON will be played back by the bass root note, when the on-bass chord is recognized by the instrument.
3 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – HARMONIC MINOR When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third and sixth intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted sixth intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings.
3 HIGH KEY / NOTE LIMIT [4]/ [5] HIGH KEY This sets the highest key (upper octave limit) of the note transposition for the chord root change. Any notes calculated to be higher than the highest key are transposed down to the next lowest octave. This setting is available only when the NTR parameter (page 35) is set to “Root Trans.” Example — When the highest key is F.
