Operating the device

The Fazley FKB-120 is an entry-level keyboard with touch-sensitive keys. This makes it perfect for beginning keyboard players who not only want to learn to play, but want to play with feeling because each passage can be played differently.
The FKB-120 is equipped with all of the features a beginning keyboardist needs to become familiar with playing the keyboard. It has a large range of sounds and accompaniments to choose from in lots of different music styles.
Follow the steps and instructions below to get the best out of the FKB-120.
Preparation

Practical information before playing - If two people wish to play at the same time without using the built-in speakers, a headphone splitter should be connected to the headphone socket so that two pairs of headphones can be used. - Ensure that the power adapter cable isn't rolled up too tightly and doesn't get tangled, exposed to excess forces, bent too excessively or damaged by sharp edges.

Keyboard positioning It's important to place the FKB-120 on a stable surface at the correct height to ensure a comfortable playing experience without causing any physical discomfort. Fazley recommend investing in a good keyboard stand so that playing while standing or sitting can both be done in comfort.

Placing the keyboard on a table, desk or similar surface may result in an uncomfortable playing experience that could lead to physical discomfort.

A good playing position can be defined as follows: - arms should hang freely next to the sides of the body (avoid tension in the shoulders to create more arm height) - forearms should be horizontal to the floor - hands and fingers should be in the same sort of position as they naturally are when your arms are hanging by your side - elbows should be pushed forwards slightly towards the keyboard so that they are not completely parallel to the body

The ideal playing position is very similar to the one that should be used when sitting behind a desk and working with a computer. A keyboard like the FKB-120 is higher than a computer keyboard, however, so it's very important to make the necessary height adjustments.

This playing position should be used regardless of whether you're sitting or standing. That's why it's a good idea to choose a keyboard stand that's suitable for both.

If you're planning on playing sitting down, you should use a keyboard bench or stool that's height adjustable so that you can find the perfect playing height. Ideally, it should have
some padding and be flat to help you keep your back straight.

Connecting the keyboard The FKB-120 comes with a power adapter that needs to plugged into the keyboard and a power socket with the correct voltage. Only the adapter that comes with the keyboard should be used to power it. Take care that connected cables are not in a place that someone could trip over them. Also ensure that cables are not subjected to excessive forces. If necessary, an extension cable can be used or, alternatively, the keyboard should be placed closer the available power socket.

Cable binders should be used to manage excess lengths of cable. Under no circumstances should knots be tied in cables themselves.

Batteries The FKB-120 can be powered by 8 D-cell (1.5V) batteries. They need to be inserted correctly according to the polarity shown in the battery compartment.

When the keyboard will not be used for a longer period of time, any batteries inserted should be removed to prevent potential leaks. Always use the same type of batteries from the same brand and don't mix old and new batteries.

Using the (built-in) speakers or headphones The FKB-120 is equipped with built-in speakers that instantly play back whatever you play on the keyboard. Whenever you want to practise in silence, however, a set of headphones can be connected to a socket on the back.

The headphone socket is suitable for virtually all headphones that are designed for listening
to music. In the event that your headphones have a connector of a different size, an adapter can be purchased. Consult your dealer for advice if you're unsure about what you need.

Before you put on your headphones and start playing, check the volume level. Pay particular attention to the volume level before allowing children to play the keyboard while wearing headphones. It's best to lower the volume on the keyboard before putting headphones on and only raising it to the volume necessary to hear what you're playing. This will greatly reduce the chance of any damage to hearing. The volume can be adjusted using the 'Master Vol' knob.

It's best to take regular breaks to give your hearing a rest and not play for hours on end.

It's also possible to connect external speakers to the keyboard for performance purposes. The built-in speakers are not intended to played at full volume continuously and doing so may cause serious distortion and damage the speakers themselves.

Turing the keyboard on The keyboard can be turned on and off using the Power On/Off button. It should be turned off when you're finished playing.
Using a USB stick with music The keyboard features a built-in MP3 player that allows you to play along with music from a USB stick with a maximum capacity of 32 GB. After inserting the USB stick, the keyboard's navigation keys can be used to select the song of your choice. These navigation keys are located at the bottom left of the display next to button 9. They can also be used to determine the volume of the MP3 player. You can do this by long press the + (plus) to increase the volume. Or to long press the (minus) button to decrease the volume. By pressing the + (plus) button once, you select the next track on the USB stick. By pressing the (minus) button once, the track starts from the beginning, or you select the previous track on the USB stick. You can adjust the master volume based on the desired volume of the track. Via these steps the ideal volume balance can be created.

USB MIDI The FKB-120 also has USB MIDI functionality that can be used to do things like play MIDI chords into certain software, or trigger certain sounds in DAW software or plugins. Thanks to the bi-directional communication, it's also possible to send MIDI signals from a computer to the FKB-120 enabling sounds to be played.

A USB cable is not included. One can be purchased from your local dealer or a computer shop.

Sound selection

Selecting a voice (sound) The FKB-120 has a large selection of voices to choose from. When you don't want to scroll though all of the available options, you can select your chosen sound by entering the appropriate number using the 0 - 9 number pads. In total, there are 422 different sounds on board! By pressing the + and - buttons, you can easily scroll through all of the available sounds.

At the top of the keyboard, the number range of certain groups of sounds are indicated to help you find the type of sound you're looking for more quickly if you don't know the number.

Dual Voice function Activating the Dual Voice function allows two different sounds to be layered on top of one another. This gives you the sound of two different instruments being played at the same time.

Selecting the first sound is done as described in the Selecting a voice section above. After this, activate Dual Voice mode by pressing the Dual Voice button and then a second sound

The display will show 'Dual' to indicate that Dual Voice mode has been activated.
Pressing the Dual Voice button again will de-activate Dual Voice mode and return the keyboard to its previous state.

Adding Effects

Sustain Press the Sustain button to add the sustain effect. Pressing the Sustain button again will de-activate it.

Vibrato Press the Vibrato button to add the vibrato effect. Pressing the Vibrato button again will deactivate it.

Effect (Echo) Press the Effect button to add digital acoustics for a fuller sound from the keyboard when wearing headphones, for example. The display will show DSP to indicate that this function has been activated. Pressing the Effect button again will de-activate it. Pressing the button while playing a sound may result in the sound suddenly stopping due to the change of functionality.

Touch (sensitivity) Press the Touch button to activate the touch-sensitive mode whereby sounds are played at different volume levels depending on how hard the player presses the keys. This allows more expressive playing. Pressing the Touch button again will de-active the touch-sensitive mode.

Tempo The tempo of accompaniment rhythms can be speeded up or slowed down as required. The tempo is specified in Beats Per Minute (BPM) and is set to 100 by default. Any value you set will only be retained whilst you're playing the keyboard. If it's turned off and on again, the value will be reset to 100. Press the Tempo + button once to increase the tempo by 1 BPM and press the Tempo button once to decrease the tempo by 1 BPM. Pressing the Tempo + and Tempo - buttons at the same time will reset the tempo to 100 BPM.

Transpose Press the Transpose + or Transpose - button to change the keyboard's pitch. The pitch can changed by up to 12 semitones upwards or downwards. Pressing both Transpose buttons at the same time will reset the keyboard to its original setting.

default, it's set to 4/4 time, but the time signature is adjustable. To change it, press the Function Menu button until Beat shows up in the display. Then press the + or - button to select one of nine different time signatures. The metronome function can also be activated after an accompaniment rhythm has been chosen.
Auto chord The Auto Chord function automatically adjusts the accompaniment to the correct key. It can work with a single note or a chord.
Auto Chord can be switched between an A.B.C. mode and a Full Range mode. In A.B.C. mode, only playing the notes on the left-hand side of the FKB-120 will result in a key change of the accompaniment. In Full Range mode, playing chords across the entire keyboard will result in a key change of the accompaniment.
Note that in A.B.C. mode, it's only possible to play the notes C to C with your left hand. It's therefore not possible to play special keys that are outside the range of these notes. Bear this in mind when playing major, minors and sevenths, for example.
Pitch bend The Pitch Bend wheel causes the pitch to go up or down by a certain amount depending on which way and by how much it is moved. As soon as it's released, it automatically jumps back to the middle position.
Rhythm and accompaniments

Rhythm selection Now that we've learned about the sound functions, let's take a look at the standard accompaniment rhythm options. Press the Rhythm button to activate one of the accompaniment rhythms that can be selected by entering the appropriate number using the 0 - 9 number pads or by pressing the + and - buttons to easily scroll through all of the available rhythms. At the top of the keyboard, the number range of different rhythm genres are indicated to help you find the type of rhythm you're looking for more quickly if you don't know the number.

To start an accompaniment, press the Start/Stop button and press the same button again to stop it.

Song In addition to standard accompaniments, it's possible to play along with complete songs including Happy Birthday, Jingle Bells and House of the Rising Sun. Press the Demo button to play one of the demo songs that can be selected by entering the appropriate number using the 0 - 9 number pads or by pressing the + and - buttons to easily scroll through all of the available songs. Pressing the Start/Stop button will stop a song that's playing. Pressing the Demo button again or the Voice or Rhythm button will de-activate song mode.

After pressing the Sync button, it's possible to start an accompaniment rhythm whenever you like by pressing one of the first nineteen notes on the keyboard. Then you can simply play along. If a rhythm is already playing, pressing the Sync button will prepare the accompaniment rhythm for a different song. You can also select a different accompaniment rhythm before activating the Sync function again if you like.
Intro/Ending It's possible to add an intro and/or an ending to your song. To add an intro, press the Intro/Ending button and then press the Start/Stop button to start the intro which will be followed by the accompaniment rhythm you've chosen. To add an ending to your song, press the Intro/Ending button after which the accompaniment rhythm will stop.
Fill In Press the Fill In button to add a fill to the accompaniment rhythm of your song. The fill played is determined by accompaniment rhythm selected. After the fill, the selected accompaniment rhythm will continue playing. The Fill In function can be used as often as desired.
Rhythm volume The volume of the accompaniment rhythm can be adjusted independently from the master volume. This means that the accompaniment rhythm can blend into the background more so that your playing can be heard more clearly, for instance. The accompaniment rhythm volume can be set anywhere between 0 and 32 using the + and - buttons. The value will be shown on the display.
Record function The FKB-120 has a recording function that allows you to record your playing. Press the Record button to activate the recording mode. Recording will then start as soon as you play your first note. Press Record again to stop recording. The keyboard has an internal memory of 62K. Press the Play button to hear what you've recorded. Playback of recording will end automatically if the file has been played back completely.
Status memory The FKB-120 has an internal memory where user presets can be stored. There are four banks with two presets each which can be accessed and cycled through via the 'Bank' mode. With M1 or M2, a preset can be accessed and loaded within a bank.
To save presets, hold in the 'Status Memory' button and press M1 or M2. Bear in mind that the preset will be stored in whatever bank you are currently in!
M1 or M2 will then be displayed followed by the message 'MEN STOR' that confirms the preset has been saved. Presets include the selected accompaniment rhythm and its functions as well as the selected sound and any effects you're using. Any existing presets in the same slot on the same bank will be overwritten by the new preset.

NOTE: Please note that the memory function only works as long as the device is powered. Stored memory presets will not be saved when the device is turned off or disconnected from its power source.
Function menu

Press the Function Menu button to activate the function menu where various parameters can be adjusted. These include various settings that affect the sound of the keyboard. You can choose between different effects like Reverb and Chorus, although you may not want effects like this at all when a piano sound is selected, for example. For this reason, they can be deactivated when required. When used with other instruments, however, effects like this, when set to the right levels, can enhance sounds by giving them an extra dimension.

All of the possibilities can be cycled through by pressing the Function Menu button multiple times. When you've found the function you want to adjust, you can do so using the + or buttons. After the adjustment has been made or when no action has been taken for 3 seconds, the Function Menu will close again.

Any values you set within the Function menu can be reset to their default values by pressing the + and - buttons at the same time. Any values you set will only be retained as long as the keyboard is switched on. If the keyboard is switched off and on again, the default values will be automatically restored.

Sound console
The Sound Console function provides more possibilities to adjust the volume balance between different sounds, in particular the sounds used for the accompaniment rhythms. The harmonies could be made more or less prominent, for instance, as could the percussion sounds. Settings can be adjusted using the + or - keys, just like they are in the Function Menu.

The values are set to 28 by default, but can be adjusted anywhere between 0 and 32.

Lesson function
The FKB-120 has a built-in lesson function that makes it possible to learn to play easy as well as more complex well-known songs. It's possible to focus lessons on the left hand or right hand parts only.

To activate the lesson function, press the Demo button. This will start a song which you can stop by pressing the Start/Stop button. Now press the Lesson button. The word Lesson will then appear above the hands shown on the bottom right. Three different Lesson modes can be chosen by pressing the Lesson button multiple times. At the end of each lesson, feedback will be given by the virtual teacher. This will either be 'OK', 'Good', 'Very Good!' or 'Excellent!'. This feedback is designed to encourage players to improve.

Lesson 1: This lesson mode is designed to help those who want to practise their timing. In lesson 1, it's not so important which key you press, but it must be played at the right time to match the beat of the music that is being played. It's possible to focus the lesson on the right or left hands only. If you choose to focus on the right hand only, that part will not be played so that you can do it yourself. If you choose to focus on the left hand only, that part will not be played so that you can do it yourself.

If you choose to focus on both hands, neither part will be played so that you can do it yourself. Again, it's not so important which keys you press in this mode, but they must be played at the right time to match the beat of the music that is being played.

Lesson 2: In Lesson 2, it's more important to play the correct note or chord. Whenever a mistake is made, the music will stop until the correct note or chord is played. As soon as it is, the song will continue.

It's also possible here to focus the lesson on the right or left hands only, so that you can play those parts yourself.

Lesson 3: In Lesson 3, it's even more important to play the correct note or chord. In this mode, assistance is turned off which means it's entirely up to the keyboard player to play the correct notes or chords at the right time to match the beat of the music that is being played.
Playing along with own music
It's possible to play along with your own music by inserting a USB stick with MP3 files into the keyboard's USB port on the back. Using the MP3 navigation keys, which can found underneath the display, you can select the track you want to play along with. This gives you many more possibilities in addition to the built-in songs.
Note that the lesson functions do not work with your own music.

Problem

Possible cause

Solution

Keyboard won't turn on

Power adapter not connected (properly)

Make sure the included power adapter is connected properly to the keyboard and an active power socket.

Keyboard not switched on

Press the ON/OFF button to turn the keyboard on.

Faulty power adapter

If the power adapter is connected properly to the keyboard and an active power socket, but the keyboard won't turn on, the power adapter could be faulty. If you suspect that this is the case, try powering the keyboard with batteries and/or contact your dealer for assistance.

Batteries not installed, not installed correctly or empty

If you're trying to power the keyboard with batteries, ensure you have 8 full D-Cell 1.5V batteries inserted correctly according to the polarity shown in the battery compartment.

No sound audible

Volume too low

Turn up the master volume and/or one of the other volume settings.

Headphones connected

Check to see if headphones are connected as these will prevent sounds from being played back through the speakers.

Problem Speaker sound distorted
Balance between sounds isn't good Unexpected sound effects
Not all notes are registered at the same time

Possible cause

Solution

Volume is too high

When the volume is too high, the sound coming through the speakers may be distorted. If this is the case, the volume level should be lowered.

Various volume levels need adjusting

Check and adjust all volume levels including the ones in the Sound Console until you're happy with the sound.

Various sound effects are turned on or off

Check and adjust effects like Sustain, Vibrato and Effect as well as Reverb and Chorus (see Function Menu) until you're happy with the sound.

Full sound reproduction may not be possible due to limited polyphony

When playing very complex chords, it's possible that some notes may not be registered correctly due to the limited polyphony of the keyboard. Polyphony refers to the ability to play a certain amount of notes at the same time.
