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 fifth degrees of the corresponding scale. A C major
triad, for example, is made up of the notes C (the root), E (the third
note of the C major scale), and G (the fifth note of the C major scale). In the C major triad shown above, the lowest note is the "root" of the
3rd
3rd
Root
chord (this is the chord's "root position" ... using other chord notes for the lowest note results in "inver-
sions"). 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 thirdfour half steps (semitones)
Minor thirdthree 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.
Major chord CM
Minor chord Cm
Augmented chord Caug
Diminished chord Cdim
Minor 3rd
Major 3rd
Major 3rd Minor 3rd
Major 3rd
Major 3rd Minor 3rd
Minor 3rd
The basic characteristics of the chord sound remain intact even if we change the order of the notes to create different inversions. Successive chords in a chord progression can be smoothly connected, for example, by choosing the appropriate inversions (or chord "voicings").
Reading Chord Names
Chord names tell you just about everything you need to know about a chord (other 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.

In order to load a Style file it is necessary to first either transfer the Style file to the instrument from a computer, or connect a USB flash memory containing the Style file to the USB TO DEVICE connector. Refer to "Transferring Data Between the Computer and Instrument" on page 96 for details on the file transfer procedure. If you are using a USB flash memory device, refer to "Loading Registration Files, Style Files, Song Files or MDB Files" on page 87. You can directly play the User Style in the USB memory without loading (page 89).
Playing Styles Using the Entire Keyboard
In "Playing Along with a Style" on page 23 we described two methods of playing Styles (Multi, Full Keyboard) in which chords were either detected only to the left of the keyboard Split Point or over the entire keyboard. By making the settings described below, chord detection for Style accompaniment occurs over the entire range of the keyboard, allowing for even more dynamic Style performance. In this mode only chords played in the normal way (page 25) can be detected.

Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Cause and Solution
When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical
sound is temporarily produced.
power.
When using a mobile phone, noise is produced.
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 94.)
Is the FILE CONTROL display showing? The instrument's keyboard, etc., will not produce any sound while the FILE CONTROL display is showing. Press the [EXIT] button to return to the MAIN display.
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 94.
Make sure that the Style Volume (page 81) is set to an appropriate level.
The style does not sound properly.
Is the split point set at an appropriate key for the chords you are playing? Set the split point at an appropriate key (page 59).
Is the [ACMP] button lit? If it is not lit, press the [ACMP] button so it lights.
No rhythm accompaniment plays when the [START/STOP] button is pressed after selecting the BaroqueAir Style in the MOVIE & SHOW category.
This is not a malfunction. Style BaroqueAir Style does not have a Rhythm part, so there is no rhythm sound for this Style. Also, this Style does not have a Fill-In section. The other parts will begin playing when you play a chord in the accompaniment.
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 accompaniment or song.
The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the opposite 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 turning 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 Demo display is shown in Japanese, and/or there are Japanese characters in the display messages.
Make sure the Language setting in the FUNCTION display is set to English. (See page 12)
The ACMP indicator does not appear when the [ACMP] button is pressed.
Always press desired style category button first when you are going to use any style-related function.
There is no harmony sound.
The harmony effects (0126) behave differently according to their type. Types 0105 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 0626 will function whether style playback is on or off. For types 0612 you need to play two notes at the same time.

Voice List
Maximum Polyphony
The instrument has 64-note maximum polyphony. This means that it can play a maximum of up to 64 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. If the maximum polyphony is exceeded, earlier played notes will be cut off and the most recent notes have priority (last note priority).
NOTE
· 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 directly relate to MIDI Program Change Numbers 000 to 127. That is, 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.

Drum Kit List
·"
" indicates that the drum sound is the same as "Standard Kit 1".
· Each percussion voice uses one note.
· The MIDI Note # and Note are actually one octave lower than keyboard Note # and Note. For example, in "1:
Standard Kit 1", the "Seq Click H" (Note# 36/Note C1) corresponds to (Note# 24/Note C0).
· Key Off: Keys marked "O" stop sounding the instant they are released.
· Voices with the same Alternate Note Number (*1 ... 4) cannot be played simultaneously. (They are designed
to be played alternately with each other.)
· *: XG optional kit.

Description Harmony types 0114 are pitch-based and add one-, two- or three-note harmonies to the single-note melody played in the right hand. These types sound when chords are played in the auto accompaniment range of the keyboard. These Harmony types will also work when playing songs that contain chord data.
Types 1526 are rhythm-based effects and add embellishments or delayed repeats in time with the auto accompaniment. These types sound whether the auto accompaniment is on or not; however, the actual speed of the effect depends on the Tempo setting (page 72). The individual note values in each type let you synchronize the effect precisely to the rhythm. Triplet settings are also available: 1/6 = quarter-note triplets, 1/12 = eighth-note triplets, 1/24 = sixteenth-note triplets. · The Echo effect Types (1518) create delayed repeats of each note played. · The Tremolo effect Types (1922) repeat all held notes (up to four). · The Trill effect Types (2326) create two-note trills (alternating notes) when two notes are held.
