Setting Up Power Requirements Although the EZ-20 will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete resources. ■ Using an AC Power Adaptor Use of an AC power adaptor is recommended, especially when you use the EZ-20 for a long period of time. 1 Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the EZ-20 is set to STANDBY.
Using Headphones For private practicing and playing without disturbing others, connect a set of stereo headphones to the rear panel PHONES/OUTPUT jack. Sound from the built-in speaker system is automatically cut off when you insert a headphone plug into this jack. tions the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano - press and hold down the footswitch as you play the keyboard to sustain the sound.

For two MIDI instruments to communicate, they must be connected by MIDI cables.
How Can MIDI be Used? In the simple, yet powerful MIDI application example below, the Yamaha QY100 Music Sequencer is used to record and play back performance data played on the EZ20 keyboard. Connect the MIDI IN of the EZ-20 to the MIDI OUT of the QY100 Connect the MIDI OUT of the EZ-20 to the MIDI IN of the QY100 • On the EZ-20, the following channels (eight total) are enabled for MIDI reception: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10. The MIDI transmit channels are fixed to the following data: Ch.
Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause and Solution When the EZ-20 is turned on or off, a popping sound is temporarily produced. This is normal and indicates that the EZ-20 is receiving electrical power. • The volume level is low. • Tonal quality has degraded. • The display indication is turned off suddenly and the panel settings are reset. The battery voltage is low. Replace all six batteries with new ones, or use the AC adaptor. Noise is produced from the EZ20.
Voice List ■ Maximum Polyphony The EZ-20 has 16-note maximum polyphony. This means that it can play a maximum of up to 16 notes at once, regardless of what functions are used. Auto Accompaniment uses a number of the available notes, so when Auto Accompaniment is used the total number of available notes for playing on the keyboard is correspondingly reduced. The same applies to the Split Voice and Song functions. • The Voice List includes MIDI program change numbers for each voice.
