Getting started

Before you play

This Keyboard can use either dry cell batteries or ordinary household AC current. If using batteries, use six R20/LR20 batteries ("D" size, UM-1). To use AC current, an SY-AD6/AD6B/ADX AC adaptor (12V, 2A) is required. (Note: Use of an AC adaptor other than the SY-AD6/AD6B/ AD7 may cause damage to your instrument.)

• The AC adapter and battery are sold separately.
• The output power differs depending on whether the AC adaptor or batteries are being used.

When using batteries

Use six R20/LR20 batteries.

1. Open the battery compartment cover, found on the rear of the instrument.
2. Insert six R20/LR20 batteries, and replace the battery compartment cover.

• To insert the batteries correctly, follow the + and-polarity indications. (Batteries installed with incorrect polarities may leak and damage this unit. If the leaking electrolyte comes into contact with skin or clothes, flush with water immediately.)
• Do not mix batteries (old and new) or types (carbon and alkaline).
• Remove the batteries from the battery compartment and store separately when the instrument is not to be used for a long time.
• Never subject batteries to excessive heat or flame; do not attempt to disassemble them; and be sure they are not short-circuited.
• Do not attempt to recharge carbon or alkaline batteries.
• When battery power is low during a performance, [bAt] is shown on the display. In this case, replace the batteries as soon as possible.

When using the AC adaptor

Connect the SY-AD6/AD6B/AD7 AC adaptor.

• Do not disconnect and connect the AC adaptor when the power is on.
• Even when batteries are installed, if the AC adaptor is used, the battery circuit is bypassed and the power is supplied through the AC adaptor.
• When the AC adaptor is not connected and when batteries are not installed, the various storable memories and storable function settings of this instrument will be erased in about 10 minutes.

• Percussion instrument sounds are produced by the keyboard keys as indicated by the picture code above each key.
• For further information about the arrangement of percussion sounds, refer to the separate "REFERENCE GUIDE" provided.

Assigning parts to the keyboard

The CONDUCTOR buttons are used to assign sounds to the keyboard in many different ways. For example, you can assign two sounds to the entire keyboard so that playing one key will produce two sounds. You can even split the keyboard into right and left sections (SPLIT), and assign a different sound to each section.

CONDUCTOR

CONDUCTOR settings	How sounds are assigned to the keyboard
	All keys produce the RIGHT 1 sounds.
	RIGHT 1
	All keys produce the RIGHT 2 sounds.
	RIGHT 2
	All the keys play both RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 sounds at the same time.
	RIGHT 1 + RIGHT 2
	The left keys produce the LEFT sound and the right keys produce the RIGHT 1 sound and the RIGHT 2 sound (SPLIT).
	LEFT	RIGHT 1 + RIGHT 2
	The left keys produce the LEFT sound and the right keys produce the RIGHT 1 sound (SPLIT):
	LEFT	RIGHT 1
	The left keys produce the LEFT sound and the right keys produce the RIGHT 2 sound (SPLIT).
	LEFT	RIGHT 2

- To assign both the RIGHT 1 sound and the RIGHT 2 sound to the whole keyboard, press both of these CONDUCTOR buttons at the same time.

• The volume for each part can be adjusted. (Refer to page 12.)

- The following conditions are in effect when the AUTO PLAY CHORD (page 23) is used.

ONE FINGER, FINGERED mode: You cannot assign sounds to all the keys.

PIANIST mode: The keyboard cannot be split (KN701).

SPLIT POINT

When the keyboard is divided into left and right sections, the split point is C3.

- Each time the SPLIT POINT button is pressed, the current location of the split point (C3 or the key that you have selected) will appear in the display (see below).

How the AUTO PLAY CHORD works

When an AUTO PLAY CHORD mode is selected, an automatic accompaniment which matches the rhythm you have chosen is played in the chord which you specify with your left hand. The melody is played with your right hand.

- The accompaniment pattern of the AUTO PLAY CHORD is composed of five parts: DRUMS, BASS, ACCOMP 1, ACCOMP 2 and ACCOMP 3.

Sub balance

BALANCE buttons can be used to adjust the volumes of the ACCOMP 1 - 3, BASS and DRUM parts while the MODE SET button is being pressed. (SUB BALANCE adjustment)

Playing chords

Choose from three ways of playing chords.

AUTO PLAY CHORD

O ONE FINGER • O

ON BASS

Offices

O PAINST

■ ONE FINGER mode

In the ONE FINGER mode, a major chord can be played just by pressing the key for its root note.

Minor, seventh and minor seventh chords are also easily produced.

Minor	Seventh	Minor seventh
Play the root note plus a black key to the left of it.	Play the root note plus a white key to the left of it.	Play the root note plus a black key and a white key to the left of it.
Example: Cm	Example: C7	Example: Cm7

■ FINGERED mode

In the FINGERED mode, you specify the chord by playing all the notes in the chord.

- The automatic accompaniment can recognize the following types of chords for each key (C is given as an example): C, C7, CM7, Caug, Caug7, Cm, Cm7, Cdim, Cm7 ^5 , CmM7, Csus4, C7sus4, C ^5 , C7 ^5 , Cm ^5 , C6, Cm6, CM7 ^5 , CM71 ^5 , CmM7 ^5 , etc.

■ PIANIST mode (KN701)

In the PIANIST mode, the entire keyboard can be used to specify chords (FINGERED mode) for the automatic accompaniment; a RIGHT part is assigned to all the keys, and the keyboard does not split. In addition to the chords in the FINGERED mode, the automatic accompaniment also recognizes 9th and 13th chords.

■ ON BASS (KN701)

If the ON BASS button is on while the FINGERED or PIANIST mode is selected, the BASS part is produced in the key of the lowest note of the played chord, thus making it possible to play chords such as D on C.

How to use the AUTO PLAY CHORD

1. Select the desired rhythm and sound(s), and set the tempo.
2. Select an AUTO PLAY CHORD mode (ONE FINGER, FINGERED or PIANIST).

Part III Sequencer

Outline of the Sequencer

A sequencer records your performance in a similar way to a tape recorder. You may want to record your entire performance in one go, or to build up a complex arrangement with several different parts playing together, like an orchestral score.

SEQUENCER features

■ You can change the tempo without changing the pitch

When you record your performance at a slow tempo and play it back at a faster tempo, the pitch stays the same.

■ Consistent sound

Your performance is reproduced by a sound module as it reads digital data. So, unlike a recorded tape, the sound never deteriorates no matter how many times you play back your performance.

Recording methods

■ REALTIME RECORD (page 29)

Use the REALTIME RECORD function to record your performance and create your own orchestra or band.

■ STEP RECORD (page 30)

Use the STEP RECORD function to store the chord progression for the automatic accompaniment or the panel changes one-by-one.

Memory capacity

Expressed in terms of notes, the total number of notes which can be stored in all the SEQUENCER tracks is about 2,800.

• When the remaining memory capacity becomes 20% or less, it is shown as a percentage on the display.
• When the memory is full, [FuL] appears on the display, no more data can be stored in the SEQUENCER.
• The SEQUENCER contents are preserved even if the PLAY button is turned off, as long as power is being supplied through the AC adaptor or the batteries.
• Only one song can be stored in the SEQUENCER at a time. However, your instrument has 4 SONG memories in which you can save your SEQUENCER performances. (Refer to page 39.)
