LEÉETID Style (Auto-accompaniment) Functions EH Chord Basics Two or more notes played together constitute a “chord.”

The most basic chord type is the “triad” consisting of three notes: the root, third, and ne fifth degrees of the corresponding scale. À C major triad, for example, is made up of o ES the notes C (the root), E (the third note of the C major scale), and G (the fifth note of e) < the C major scale). 8rd Rhot 8rd In the C major triad shown above, the lowest note is the “root” of the chord (this is the chord’s “root position” … using other chord notes for the lowest note results in “inversions”). The root is the central sound of the chord, which supports and anchors the other chord notes. The distance (interval) between adjacent notes of a triad in root position is either a major or minor third. Major third — four half steps (semitones) Minor third — three half steps (semitones)

The lowest interval in our root-position triad (between the root and the third) determines whether the triad is a major or minor chord, and we can shift the highest note up or down by a semitone to produce two additional chords, as shown below.

Successive chords in a chord progression can be smoothly connected, for example, by choosing the appropri- ate inversions (or chord “voicings”). © Reading Chord Names Chord names tell you just about everything you need to know about a chord (other C / N than the inversion/voicing). The chord name tells you what the root of the chord is, whether it is a major, minor, or diminished chord, whether it requires a major or flatted seventh, what alterations or tensions it uses … all at a glance.

Connecting To a Computer Nearly all of the electronic musical instruments made today -— particularly synthesizers, sequencers and computer music related devices — use MIDI. MIDI is a worldwide standard that allows these devices to send and receive performance and setting data. Naturally, this instru- ment lets you save or send your keyboard performance as MIDI data, as well as the songs, styles and panel settings. The potential MIDI holds for your live performances and music creation/production is enor- mous — simply by connecting this instrument to a computer and transmitting MIDI data. In this section, you’ learn the basics of MIDI and the specific MIDI functions provided by this instru- ment. What Is MIDI? No doubt you have heard the terms “acoustic instru- ment” and “digital instrument.” In the world today, these are the two main categories of instruments. Let’s consider a grand piano and a classical guitar as repre- sentative acoustic instruments. They are easy to under- stand. With the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer inside hits some strings and plays a note. With the gui- tar, you directly pluck a string and the note sounds. But how does a digital instrument go about playing a note? © Acoustic guitar note production { Tone Generator L é R\ KZ Smping | (Electronic circuit) Sampmg *? ) Note Note OT AE TT

Based on playing information from the keyboard, a sampling note stored in the tone generator is played through the speakers. As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic instrument the sampling note (previously recorded note) stored in the tone generator section (electronic circuit) is played based on information received from the key- board. So then what is the information from the key- board that becomes the basis for note production? For example, let’s say you play a “C” quarter note using the grand piano sound on the instrument. Unlike an acoustic instrument that puts out a resonated note, the electronic instrument puts out information from the key- board such as “with what voice,” “with which key,” “about how strong,” “when was it pressed,” and “when was it released.” Then each piece of information is changed into a number value and sent to the tone gener- ator. Using these numbers as a basis, the tone generator plays the stored sampling note. Example of Keyboard Information Voice number (with what voice) 1 (grand piano) Note number (with which key) 60 (C3) Note on (when was it pressed) and | Timing expressed numerically note off (when was it released) (quarier note) Velocity (about how strong) 120 (strong) Your keyboard performance and all panel operations of this instrument are processed as MIDI data. The songs, auto accompaniment (styles), and User songs are also made up of MIDI data. MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface and it allows different musical instru- ments and devices to instantly communicate with each other, via digital data. The MIDI standard is used all over the world and was designed to transmit perfor- mance data between electronic musical instruments (or computers). Thanks to MIDI, you can control one instrument from another and transmit performance data between the devices-taking your creative and perfor- mance potential to even higher levels. MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Chan- nel messages and System messages. © Channel Messages This instrument is capable of handling 16 MIDI chan- nels simultaneously - meaning it can play up to sixteen different instruments at the same time. Channel mes- sages transmit information such as Note ON/OFF, Pro- gram Change, for each of the 16 channels. Message Name Note ON/OFF Instrument Operation/Panel Setting Performance data of the keyboard (contains note number and velocity data) Instrument selection (including bank select MSB/LSB, if necessary) Instrument settings (volume, pan, etc.) Program Change Control Change © System Messages This is data that is used in common by the entire MIDI system.

LEÉETUD Connecting To a Computer USB Connection This instrument can be connected to a computer to allow transfer of MIDI data. Connect a standard USB cable between the instrument’s rear-panel USB connector and the USB connector on your computer (USB cable sold separately). Itis also necessary to install the USB driver provided on the supplied CD-ROM on your computer. Refer to the “Accessory CD-ROM Installation Guide” on page 70 for details. The supplied CD-ROM also includes a Musicsoft Downloader application that allows you to transfer song files from your computer to the instrument’s flash mem- ory. DGX-205/203 PSR-295/203 Failure to do so can cause the instrument and/or the computer to hang up (freeze), possibly causing corrup- tion or loss of data. If the instrument or computer does hang up, turn the power to both devices off and then on again, and restart the computer. À CAUTION + Wake the computer from a sleep/suspended/standby mode before connecting the USE cable. + Connect the USE cable to the instrument and computer before turning power to the instrument on. + Check the following points before turning the instrument's power on or off, and before plugging or unplugging the USE cable. + Qui all applications. + Make sure that no data transfer is in progress (data is trans- ferred whenever you play on the keyboard or play a song). + Allow at least 6 seconds between turning the instruments power on and off, and between plugging and unplugging the USB cable.

E USB Precautions Please observe the following precautions when connect- ing the instrument to a computer via a USB cable. MIDI Settings NOTE | + The Musicsoft Downloader application may not be able to access the instrument in the following cases: + During a MIDI bulk dump. + During style playback. + During song playback. These settings pertain to MIDI data transmission and reception. H Local ON/OFF. ee Local control determines whether or not notes played on the instrument are sounded by its internal tone generator system: the internal tone generator is active when local control is on, and inactive when local control is off. ON This is the normal setting in which notes played on the instrument's keyboard are sounded by the internal tone generator system. Data received via the instruments USB connector will also be played by the internal tone generator. OFF With this setting the instrument itself produces no sound (keyboard performance, harmony, or style playback), but the performance data is transmitted via the USB con- nector. Data received via the instrument's USB connec- tor will also be played by the internal tone generator. Local control can turned on or off via the FUNCTION Local item (page 64). [NOTE j + If you can't get any sound out of the instrument, this may be the most likely cause. Playing the keyboard results in no sound when Local is set 10 OFF. DGX-205/203, PSR-295/293 Owner's Manual H External Clock ON/OFF..0009000e These settings determine whether the instrument is syn- chronized to its own internal clock (OFF), or to a clock signal from an external device (ON).

Troubleshooting H For the DGX-205/203, PSR-295/293 Problem Possible Cause and Solution When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping sound is temporarily produced. This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical power. When using a mobile phone, noise is produced. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may produce inter- ference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from the instrument. There is no sound even when the keyboard is played or when a song or style is being played back. Check that nothing is connected to the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the rear panel. When a set of headphones is plugged into this jack, no sound is out- put. Check the Local Control on/off. (See page 66.) Playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard does not produce any sound. When using the Dictionary function (page 55), the keys in the right hand area are used only for entering the chord root and type. + The volume is too soft. + The sound quality is poor. + The rhythm stops unexpectedly or will not play. + The recorded data of the song, etc. does not play cor- rectiy. + The LCD display suddenly goes dark, and all panel set- tings are reset. The batteries are low or dead. Replace all six batteries with completely new ones, or use the optional AC adaptor. The style or song does not play back when the [START/ STOP] button is pressed. Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF: refer to “External Clock” on page 66. The style does not sound properly. Make sure that the Style Volume (page 63) is set to an appropriate level. Is the split point set at an appropriate key for the cords you are playing? Set the split point at an appropriate key (page 51). Is the “ACMP ON"indicator showing in the display? If it is not showing press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button so that it does show. No rhythm accompaniment plays when the [START/ STOP] button is pressed after selecting style number 112 or a style between 124 and 135 (Pianist). This is not a malfunction. Style number 112 and style numbers 124 — 135 {Pianist) have no rhythm parts, so no rhythm will play. The other parts will begin playing when you play a chord in the accompaniment range of the key- board if style playback is turned on. Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound seems to be cut off. The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 notes. If the Dual voice or Split voice is being used and a style or song is playing back at the same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or “stolen') from the accompani- ment or song. The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the oppo- site effect. For example, pressing the footswitch cuts off the sound and releasing it sustains the sounds. The polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before tuning on the power. The sound of the voice changes from note to note. This is normal. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple recordings (samples) of an instrument across the range of the keyboard: thus, the actual sound of the voice may be slightly different from note to note. The wrong notes sound when the keyboard is played. Perhaps the performance assistant technology is turned on. Press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button to turn it off. The ACMP ON indicator does not appear when the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed. Is the [STYLE] button lit? Always press the [STYLE] button first when you are going to use any style-related function. There is no harmony sound. The harmony effects (01 — 26) behave differentiy according to their type. Types 01 — 05 function when style playback is on, chords are played in the accompaniment range of the keyboard, and a melody is played in the right- hand range. Types 06 — 26 wi function whether style playback is on or off. For types 06 = 12 you need to play two notes at the same time. DGX-205/203, PSR-295/293 Owner's Manual
