Playing Auto Accompaniment Chords H About chords Playing two or more notes together simultaneously creates “chord.” Playing a note together with two other notes spaced three notes (steps) apart—

notes C, E and G—creates a harmonious sound, Chords like these are called “triads” and & they play an important role in most music g LM Root Taking the chord above as an example, the lowest note of this triad is called the “root note” This is the central note sound, and it supports or anchors the rest of the notes chord. You’1l notice that the middle note of the chord above (E) is the third step in the succession of scale notes—C, D, then E. There are two types of “thirds” in chords: major thirds and minor thirds. Major t four half steps from the root ird—three half steps from the root ‘We'll also alter the top note of our original chord and make three additional chords, as shown below.

Beautiful sounding harmonies can be built in this manner, and emotional music can be created by playing different chords one after the other according to commonly accepted rules. Harmony determines the nature of chords, and music is created based on harmony. © Chord names From the chord name, you can tell at a glance what type of chord it is and which notes make up the chord.

The instrument features a MIDI terminals that can be connected to other MIDI instru- ments and devices for expanded musical functionality. What is MIDI? MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a world-standard interface for communication between electronic musical instruments and music devices. When MIDI-equipped instruments are connected via a MIDI cable, it becomes possible to transfer performance and setting data between them for significantly enhanced performance and production potential. À cAUTION + Connect the EZ-200 to external equipment only after tuning off power for all devices. Then, turn on the power, first to the EZ-200, then to the connected external equipment. What You Can Do With MIDI + Transferring performance and setting data between the EZ-200 and MIDI-equipped instruments or computers. (page 55) ED 2220 cr cru

About MIDI Transferring Performance Data To and From Another Instrument By connecting the EZ-200 to other MIDI devices or a computer, the perfor- mance data of the instrument can be used on those other MIDI devices or com- puter, and also the performance data from other MIDI devices and computer can be received and sounded with the EZ-200. © When the instrument is connected with another MIDI device, it transmits/receives performance data.

MIDIIN MIDIOUT A USB-MIDI interface {such as the Yamaha UX16) A Yamaha UX16 or similar USB-MIDI interface (sold separately) will be necessary for MIDI connection between the EZ-200 and a USB- equipped computer. Make sure to purchase a Yamaha UX16 or a quality USB-MIDI interface at a musical instrument store, computer store or electrical appliance store. If you use the UX16 interface, install the driver supplied with the inter- face on your computer. + When using a computer, special software (sequencer software) is needed. EZ-200 Owners Manual D55

Troubleshooting 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 pro- duced. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may produce interference. 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 output. Check the Local Control on/off. (See page 56, 53.) Playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard does not produce any sound. When using the Dictionary function (page 50), 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. + All settings have restored to default. + The Song, etc. does not play correctiy. 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 Settings” on page 56, 53. The Style does not sound properly. Make sure that the Style Volume (page 47) 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 36). 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 ISTART/STOP] button is pressed after selecting Style number 093-100 (Pianist). This is not a malfunction. Style number 093-100 (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 keyboard if auto accompaniment 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 a style or Song is playing back at the same time, some notes/sounds may be omit- ted (or ‘stolen”) from the accompaniment or Song. The footswitch (for sustain) seems to pro- duce the opposite effect. For example, press- ing 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 turning on the power. The ACMP ON indicator does not appear when the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed. Always press the [STYLE] button first when you are going to use any style-related function. The part indications, such as Right, Left and Both Hands, do not appear—even when pressing the [R] or [L] buttons for the Lesson. Make sure that you are not pressing the [R] or [L] buttons while the Song is playing. If you press one of the part buttons while playing the Song and before starting the Lesson, these buttons serve to mute the corre- sponding Song tracks. Stop the Song first, then select the desired part and start the Lesson. The sound of the voice changes from note to note. 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. EZ-200 Owners Manual

Voice List E Maximum Polyphony ----° The instrument has 32-note maximum polyphony. This means that it can play a maximum of up to 32 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 corre- spondingly reduced. The same applies to the Song functions. If the maximum polyphony is exceeded, earlier played notes will be cut off and the most recent notes have priority (last note priority). © Panel Voice List + The Voice List includes MIDI program change numbers for each voice. Use these program change numbers when playing the instrument via MIDI from an external device. + Program Numbers 001 to 128 directy relate to MIDI Program Change Numbers 000 to

127. Thatis, Program Numbers and Program

Change Numbers differ by a value of 1. Remember to take this into consideration. + Some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes have been released while the sustain pedal (footswitch) is held.
