Keyboard Mode Functions Changing the Key Touch ([KEY TOUCH]) This setting determines how the volume changes in response to the force used to play the keyboard (Velocity Sensitivity). The velocity—the force with which you play the keyboard— can affect the volume or timbre of a sound. 1. Press [KEY TOUCH] so the button is lit. The Key Touch window will open. 2. Use the cursor buttons to select the item that you want to change, and use the VALUE dial to change the value. Parameter Value Explanation Curve LIGHT MEDIUM HEAVY FIXED Value 1–127 Select this setting if you do not want velocity changes to bring about major volume changes. Medium velocity sensitivity. The keyboard responds to velocity changes, but the maximum volume can be obtained more easily than with “HEAVY.” Select this setting for maximum expressiveness. Even small variations of the force with which you strike a key produce audible changes. The tradeoff is, however, that you have to strike the keys forcefully to achieve the maximum volume. Select this setting if all notes you play on the keyboard should have the same velocity value. Specifies the volume value used when “Curve” is set to “FIXED.” 3. When you’ve finished making settings, press [KEY TOUCH] once again to close the window. If you want to keep this setting, press [WRITE] to store it into the Performance (p. 41). Shifting the Keyboard Pitch in Octave Steps (OCTAVE Buttons) You can shift the pitch of the currently selected Tone upward or downward in steps of an octave, over a maximum of four octaves upward or downward. 1. Press OCTAVE [ ] or [ ]. The Octave Shift window will open, and will then close a few moments after you release the button. 2. While holding down OCTAVE [ ] or [ ], use Cursor [ ] [ ] to select the Tone whose pitch you want to shift. 3. Use OCTAVE [ ] [ ] to change the octave. Transposing Keyboard Sounds and Songs Played Back ([TRANSPOSE]) By using the “Transpose function,” you can transpose your performance without changing the notes you play. You can also use this function to play back a song in a different key. 1. Press [TRANSPOSE]. The Transpose window will open, and will then close a few moments after you release the button. 2. While holding down [TRANSPOSE], use [ ] [ ] to select the item whose setting you want to change. Parameter Explanation Value Song Trans KBD Trans C→ The playback of Songs and of SMF data (p. 30, p. 32) will be transposed. The sound of the keyboard will be transposed. The transposed pitch ON, OFF ON, OFF 3. Hold down [TRANSPOSE], and use the VALUE dial to specify the desired value. [TRANSPOSE] will light if the setting is anything other than C. By holding down [TRANSPOSE] and using OCTAVE [ ] [ ], you can change the Transpose value regardless of where the cursor is located. 22
Keyboard Mode Functions Adding Harmony to the Upper Tone ([MELODY INTELLIGENCE]) While a Music Style is playing (p. 25), the matching harmony is automatically added to the notes you are playing in the Upper Part. This function is called “Melody Intelligence.” Those automatic harmonies are based on the chords you play in the lower section. The Melody Intelligence function will be on when you turn [MELODY INTELLIGENCE] on (button lit). Selecting the type of harmony Using the Metronome It’s convenient to use the metronome when you’re practicing a new song. 1. Press [MENU]. 2. Use [ ] [ ] to select “System” then press [ENTER]. 3. Use [ ] [ ] to select “METRONOME” page, and use [ ] [ ] to select a parameter. 4. Turn the VALUE dial to select the value. 1. Press [MELODY INTELLIGENCE] so the button is lit. When you play something in the Upper Part, harmony is added. 2. Press and hold [MELODY INTELLIGENCE], and turn the VALUE dial to select the Melody Intelligence type. Parameter Value Parameter Value Explanation Metronome Switch OFF, ON Turns the metronome on/off. Specifies how the metronome will be sounded. ALWAYS The metronome will sound at all times if it is turned on. Type DUET, ORGAN, COMBO, STRINGS, CHOIR, BLOCK, BIG BAND, COUNTRY, TRADITIONAL, BROADWAY, GOSPEL, ROMANCE, LATIN, COUNTRY GUITAR, COUNTRY BALLAD, WALTZ ORGAN, OCTAVE TYPE 1, OCTAVE TYPE 2 3.

The metronome will sound when you’re playing a Style and when you’re playing a Song (p. 25, p. 30). 4. To turn the Melody Intelligence off, press [MELODY INTELLIGENCE] so its light goes out. Metronome Level LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH Adjusts the volume of the metronome. The metronome will be quiet at “Low” and loud at “High.” 5. When you’ve finished making settings, press [EXIT].
