Getting Ready to Play

Using Batteries

Preparing the Music Stand

• Be sure to turn off power before loading batteries.

• It is up to you to prepare six commercially available

AA-size batteries. Do not use oxyride batteries or any

other nickel based batteries.

Music stand

1. Open the battery cover on the bottom of the

Digital Keyboard.

Power Supply

Either an AC adaptor or batteries can be used to power this

Digital Keyboard. Normally, use of AC adaptor power is

recommended.

• The AD-5 AC adaptor does not come with this Digital

Keyboard. Purchase it separately from your retailer. See

page E-1 for information about options.

2. Load six AA-size batteries into the battery

compartment.

Make sure the positive + and negative - ends of the

batteries are facing as shown in the illustration.

Using the AC Adaptor

Use the AD-5 AC adaptor when you want to power the Digital

Keyboard from a household electrical outlet.

DC 9V terminal

3. Insert the tabs of the battery cover into the

holes on the side of the battery compartment,

and close the cover.

Power On Alert (Using the AC Adaptor)

While you are using the AC adaptor for power, the keyboard

keys will light to remind you that power is on if you do not

perform any operation for about six minutes. Power on alert is

disabled while batteries are being used for power.

• Turning off the keyboard power causes all current

settings and sampled sounds (page E-13) to be cleared.

The keyboard will revert to initial default settings the

next time you turn it on.

Playing the Digital Keyboard

Using Headphones

Using headphones cuts off output from the built-in speakers,

which means you can practice playing even late at night

without disturbing others.

Changing Keyboard Response to

Touch Pressure

(Touch Response)

• Be sure to turn down the volume level before connecting

headphones.

Touch Response alters tone volume in accordance with

keyboard pressure (speed). This provides you some of the

same expressivity you get on an acoustic piano.

PHONES/OUTPUT jack

Keyboard Instrument Sound Intensity

■ Sound intensity depends on the speed that keys

are pressed.

People normally believe that the stronger the pressure applied

to a piano keyboard, the louder the sound. Actually, however,

the intensity of the notes played depends on the speed at

which keys are pressed. Notes are louder when keys are

pressed quickly, and quieter when keys are pressed slowly.

Keeping this in mind as you play a keyboard musical

instrument lets you control note volume without striving to

apply too much pressure with your fingertips.

• Headphones do not come with the Digital Keyboard.

• Use commercially available headphones. See page E-1 for

information about options.

■ The playability of an acoustic piano

• Do not listen to very high volume output over

headphones for long period. Doing so creates the risk

of hearing damage.

• If you are using headphones that require an adaptor

plug, make sure you do not leave the adaptor plugged

in when removing the headphones.

Your Digital Keyboard provides you with key touch that is the

next best thing to an acoustic piano. Note volume changes

automatically in accordance with key press speed.

Pressing fast produces

louder notes.

Pressing slowly produces

softer notes.

Do not try to use too much

pressure.

Sampling a Sound and Playing It

on the Keyboard (Sampling)

You can use the Digital Keyboard to sample a sound from a

microphone, and then play the sound with the keyboard keys

or voice pads. For example, you could sample the bark of

your dog and then use the sound in a melody. The sampling

feature is a great way to create new sounds that are highly

creative.

Changing the Pitch in Semitone Steps

(Transpose)

The transpose feature lets you change the pitch, in semitone

steps. A simple operation lets you instantly change the pitch

to match that of a singer.
