PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical
shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/AC power adaptor
Water warning
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required
voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-5D, PA-3C or an equivalent recommended by
Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument
or overheating.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.
• Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators,
and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects
on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll
anything over it.
Do not open
• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or
modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it
should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into
any openings.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Fire warning
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
If you notice any abnormality
• If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a
sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or
smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch,
disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage
to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/AC power adaptor
Battery
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold
the plug itself and not the cord.
• Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity
markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or battery fluid
leakage.
• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during
electrical storms.
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector.
Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the
outlet.

DGX-205/203, PSR-295/293 Owner’s Manual
• Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries together
with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batteries with
manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or different types of
batteries from the same maker, since this can cause overheating, fire, or battery
fluid leakage.
1/2
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
Maintenance
• Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged.
• When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used for a long time,
remove the batteries from the instrument to prevent possible leakage of the
battery fluid.
• Keep batteries away from children.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,
solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Handling caution
• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.
• If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the battery fluid
should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with
water and consult a doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause
loss of sight or chemical burns.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel
or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the
power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might
discolor the panel or keyboard.
Location
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or
heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to
prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal
components.
• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment,
mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio
may generate noise.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.
• Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or
rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the
internal components or result in the instrument falling over.
Connections
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not
use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or

experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
Saving data
Saving and backing up your data
• The panel settings and some other types of data (page 42) will be lost if the
power is turned off before they are saved. Be sure to save data you want to keep
to the internal Flash Memory (page 42) before turning off the power. Saved data
may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save the important data to
your computer. For information on sending the data, see page 64 (FUNCTION
Bulk Send item)
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the
power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all

Setting Up
Be sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power.
Power Requirements
Although the instrument will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC
adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete
resources.
■ Using an AC Power Adaptor
Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the
instrument is set to STANDBY.
WARNING
• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5D or PA-3C AC Power Adaptor (or
other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to power
your instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors
may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the
instrument.
Connect the AC adaptor (PA-5D, PA-3C or other
adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to the
power supply jack.
Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
CAUTION
• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument,
or during electrical storms.
For battery operation the instrument requires six 1.5V
“D” size, R20P (LR20) or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline
batteries are recommended.) When battery power
becomes too low for proper operation, the battery
exchange indication flashes in the display. As soon as
this message appears, make sure to replace all batteries, following the precautions listed below.
If necessary, also make sure to save all important User
data (see page 42), since custom panel settings are
lost when the batteries are removed.
PA-5D or
PA-3C
AC outlet
CAUTION
• Use only manganese or alkaline batteries for this instrument.
Other types of batteries (including rechargeable batteries) may
have sudden drops of power when battery power becomes low,
possibly resulting in loss of data in the flash memory.
■ Using Batteries
Open the battery compartment cover located on the
instrument’s bottom panel.
Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow
the polarity markings on the inside of the compartment.
Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it
locks firmly in place.
NOTE
• Connecting the AC power adaptor automatically supplies power from
the adaptor and overrides battery power, even when batteries are
installed.
10
DGX-205/203, PSR-295/293 Owner’s Manual
• Make sure to install the batteries in the same direction, maintaining the correct polarity (as shown). Incorrect battery installation
may result in heat, fire and/or leaking of corrosive chemicals.
• When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of
six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries. Do not use
different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the
same time.
• If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from it, in order to prevent possible fluid leakage from the
battery.
• Please use the power adaptor when transferring data to flash
memory. Batteries (including rechargeable types) can be drained
rapidly by this type of operation. If the batteries do become
drained during a data transfer, both the data being transferred and
the data currently in the transfer destination will be lost.
Setting Up
Make all necessary connections BEFORE turning the power on.
Connecting headphones (PHONES/OUTPUT jack)
The DGX-205/203, PSR-295/293 speakers are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack.
The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an external output.
You can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a keyboard amplifier, stereo system, mixer, tape recorder, or
other line-level audio device to send the instrument’s
output signal to that device.
WARNING
• Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for long periods of time; doing so may not only result in ear fatigue, it may be
damaging to your hearing.
CAUTION
• To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external
devices at the minimum setting before connecting them. Failure to
observe these cautions may result in electric shock or equipment
damage. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all devices at their
minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while
playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.
Connecting to a computer (USB terminal)
Connect the instrument’s USB terminal to the USB terminal of a computer, and you can transfer performance
data and song files between the two (page 66).
To use the USB data-transfer features you’ll need to do
the following:
• Connect the USB terminal of the computer to the
USB terminal on the instrument using a standard
USB cable.
• Install the USB MIDI driver on your computer.
Installation of the USB MIDI driver is described on
page 71.
With this capability you can, for example, use the
Musicsoft Downloader software provided on the supplied CD-ROM to transfer songs from your computer to
the instrument’s flash memory.
NOTE
• Make sure to purchase a quality USB cable at a musical instrument
store, computer store or electrical appliance store.
Turn on the power
Connecting a footswitch (SUSTAIN JACK)
The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain
as you play by pressing an optional footswitch. Plug the
Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch into this jack and use it
to switch sustain on and off.
NOTE
• Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power.
• Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this
changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed
footswitch operation.
Turn down the volume by turning the [MASTER VOLUME] control to the left and press the [STANDBY/ON]
switch to turn on the power. Pressing the switch again
turns the power off.
Backup data in the flash memory (page 42) is loaded to
the instrument when the power is turned on. If no
backup data exists on flash memory, all instrument settings are restored to the initial factory defaults when the
power is turned on.
CAUTION
• Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, a small
amount of electricity is still being consumed by the instrument.
When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure
you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/or
remove the batteries from the instrument.
CAUTION
• Never attempt to turn the power off when a “WRITING!” message
is shown in the display. Doing so can damage the flash memory
and result in a loss of data.

The Easy Way To Play Piano
Quick Guide
This instrument includes a performance assistant technology feature that lets
you play along with a song and sound like a great pianist (even though you
might be making lots of mistakes)! In fact, you can play any notes and still
sound good! So even if you can’t play piano and can’t read a note of music,
you can have some musical fun.
The secret to the performance assistant technology’s ability to turn random playing into music is divulged on page 16.
Enjoy the feature for a while first, then read about how its done.
Play With Both Hands
To use the performance assistant technology you must be playing a song that includes chord data.
1
Press the [SONG] button.
The song number and name will be displayed. You can use the dial or other
selection controls to select a different song.

Play on the keyboard.
To begin, try to feel the rhythm of the song. Then, with your hands spread as
shown in the illustration, simply play the keyboard alternately with your left and
right hands (any notes will do).
You will get even
better results if you
match your left-hand
rhythm to the rhythm
of the chord indicator in the display.
Sounds like you’re
playing the right
notes!
How does it sound? You’ll get acceptable results no matter where you play
thanks to performance assistant technology!
Next try the three playing methods illustrated below. Different ways of playing
produce different results.
● Play with the left and right hands
at the same timing – type 1.
Play 3 notes at once
with your right hand.
● Play with the left and right hands
at the same timing – type 2.
● Play alternately with the left
and right hands – type 3.
Play 1 note at a time with your right
hand (for example: index finger →
middle finger → ring finger).
Play 3 notes at once
with your right hand.
Once you get a feel for it, try playing chords with your left hand and a melody
with your right … or any other combination.
Song playback will stop automatically when the song has played all the way
through.
You can also stop playback at any time by pressing the [START/STOP] button.
When you want to end performance assistant technology operation press the
[PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button.

Quick Guide
The Easy Way To Play Piano
— The Secret Of performance assistant technology —
How It Creates Music From Random Notes
Performance assistant technology reads the chord data from the song and only assigns notes that will “work” at that
moment to the keyboard. Since the chords of a song are constantly changing, different notes and chords will be produced even if you repeatedly play the same keys.
Song
• Melody data
• Chord data
• Rhythm data
Playback
performance assistant
technology
Chord tones and other
usable notes are assigned to
the keyboard.
You produce a harmonious group of notes no
matter where you play.
● Songs That Can Be Used With the performance assistant technology
Performance assistant technology can only be used with songs that include chord data. Preset Songs can be used with
performance assistant technology since the songs include chord data.
● External Songs and the performance assistant technology
In addition to the instrument’s internal songs, the 70 songs provided on the Accessory CD-ROM (page 70) can be used
with performance assistant technology. A list of the MIDI songs included on the Accessory CD-ROM is provided on
page 85.
Songs downloaded from the Internet can also be used with performance assistant technology as long as they include
the required chord data. Transfer song files you want to use from your computer to the instrument’s flash memory
(page 68).

Fun Sounds
This instrument includes a range of drum kits and unique sound effects
you can use for entertainment. Laughter, babbling brooks, jet fly-bys, eerie
effects, and much more. These sounds can be a great way to enhance the
mood at parties.
Drum Kits
Drum kits are collections of drum and percussion instruments. When you select a violin or other normal
instrument main voice, for example, all keys produce the sound of the same violin, only at different pitches. If
you select a drum kit as the main voice, however, each key produces the sound of a different drum or percussion instrument.
◆ Drum Kit Selection Procedure ➔ (refer to steps 1 and 2 on page 18)
1 Press the [VOICE] button.
2 Use the dial to select “115 Std.Kit1”.
3 Try out each key and enjoy the drum and percussion sounds!
Don’t forget the black keys! You’ll hear a triangle, maracas, bongos, drums … a comprehensive variety of drum and percussion sounds. For
details on the instruments included in the drum
kit voices (voice numbers 115 – 126), see the
“Drum kit List” on page 82.
Sound Effects
The sound effects are included in the drum kit voice group (voice numbers 125 and 126). When either of these
voices are selected you will be able to play a range of sound effects on the keyboard.
◆ Sound Effect Selection Procedure ➔ (refer to steps 1 and 2 on page 18)
1 Press the [VOICE] button from the MAIN display.
2 Use the dial to select “126 SFX Kit2”.
3 Try out each key and enjoy the sound effects!
As you try out the various keys you’ll hear the
sound of a submarine, a telephone bell, a
creaking door, laughter, and many other useful
effects. “125 SFX Kit1” includes lightning, running water, dogs barking, and others.
Some keys do not have assigned sound effects,
and will therefore produce no sound.
For details on the instruments included in the
SFX kit voices, see “SFX Kit 1” and “SFX Kit

play the song with the Easy Song Arranger feature. This means that you
can play a song that is normally a ballad, for example, as a bossa nova,
as a hip-hop tune, etc. Since songs are combinations of a melody and a
style, you can create totally different arrangements by changing the
style with which a song is played. You can also change the song’s melody voice and the keyboard voice for a complete change of image.

Style (Auto-accompaniment) Functions
■ 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).
3rd
3rd
Root
In the C major triad shown above, the lowest note is the “root” of the chord (this is the chord’s “root position” … using
other chord notes for the lowest note results in “inversions”). 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 third – four half steps (semitones)
Minor third – three 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.

Minor 3rd
Major 3rd

Augmented chord
Diminished chord
C aug
Minor 3rd
Major 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.

Connecting To a Computer
Nearly all of the electronic musical instruments made today – particularly synthesizers,
sequencers and computer music related devices – use MIDI. MIDI is a worldwide standard that
allows these devices to send and receive performance and setting data. Naturally, this instrument lets you save or send your keyboard performance as MIDI data, as well as the songs,
styles and panel settings.
The potential MIDI holds for your live performances and music creation/production is enormous – simply by connecting this instrument to a computer and transmitting MIDI data. In this
section, you’ll learn the basics of MIDI and the specific MIDI functions provided by this instrument.
What Is MIDI?
No doubt you have heard the terms “acoustic instrument” and “digital instrument.” In the world today,
these are the two main categories of instruments. Let’s
consider a grand piano and a classical guitar as representative acoustic instruments. They are easy to understand. With the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer
inside hits some strings and plays a note. With the guitar, you directly pluck a string and the note sounds. But
how does a digital instrument go about playing a note?
● Acoustic guitar note production
Pluck a string and the body
resonates the sound.
● Digital instrument note production

Playing the keyboard
Based on playing information from the keyboard, a sampling note
stored in the tone generator is played through the speakers.
As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic
instrument the sampling note (previously recorded note)
stored in the tone generator section (electronic circuit) is
played based on information received from the keyboard. So then what is the information from the keyboard that becomes the basis for note production?
For example, let’s say you play a “C” quarter note using
the grand piano sound on the instrument. Unlike an
acoustic instrument that puts out a resonated note, the
electronic instrument puts out information from the keyboard such as “with what voice,” “with which key,”
“about how strong,” “when was it pressed,” and “when
was it released.” Then each piece of information is
changed into a number value and sent to the tone gener-
ator. Using these numbers as a basis, the tone generator
plays the stored sampling note.
Example of Keyboard Information
Voice number (with what voice)
Note number (with which key)
Note on (when was it pressed) and
note off (when was it released)
Velocity (about how strong)
1 (grand piano)
60 (C3)
Timing expressed numerically
(quarter note)
120 (strong)
Your keyboard performance and all panel operations of
this instrument are processed as MIDI data. The songs,
auto accompaniment (styles), and User songs are also
made up of MIDI data.
MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument
Digital Interface and it allows different musical instruments and devices to instantly communicate with each
other, via digital data. The MIDI standard is used all
over the world and was designed to transmit performance data between electronic musical instruments (or
computers). Thanks to MIDI, you can control one
instrument from another and transmit performance data
between the devices-taking your creative and performance potential to even higher levels.
MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Channel messages and System messages.
● Channel Messages
This instrument is capable of handling 16 MIDI channels simultaneously – meaning it can play up to sixteen
different instruments at the same time. Channel messages transmit information such as Note ON/OFF, Program Change, for each of the 16 channels.
Message Name

Program Change
Control Change
Instrument Operation/Panel Setting
Performance data of the keyboard (contains
note number and velocity data)
Instrument selection (including bank select
MSB/LSB, if necessary)
Instrument settings (volume, pan, etc.)
● System Messages
This is data that is used in common by the entire MIDI
system. System messages include messages like Exclusive Messages that transmit data unique to each instrument manufacturer and Realtime Messages that control
the MIDI device.

USB Connection
This instrument can be connected to a computer to
allow transfer of MIDI data.
Connect a standard USB cable between the instrument’s
rear-panel USB connector and the USB connector on
your computer (USB cable sold separately).
It is also necessary to install the USB driver provided on
the supplied CD-ROM on your computer. Refer to the
“Accessory CD-ROM Installation Guide” on page 70
for details.
The supplied CD-ROM also includes a Musicsoft
Downloader application that allows you to transfer song
files from your computer to the instrument’s flash memory.
DGX-205/203

USB cable
Failure to do so can cause the instrument and/or the
computer to hang up (freeze), possibly causing corruption or loss of data.
If the instrument or computer does hang up, turn the
power to both devices off and then on again, and restart
the computer.
CAUTION
• Wake the computer from a sleep/suspended/standby mode before
connecting the USB cable.
• Connect the USB cable to the instrument and computer before
turning power to the instrument on.
• Check the following points before turning the instrument’s power
on or off, and before plugging or unplugging the USB cable.
• Quit all applications.
• Make sure that no data transfer is in progress (data is transferred whenever you play on the keyboard or play a song).
• Allow at least 6 seconds between turning the instrument’s power
on and off, and between plugging and unplugging the USB cable.
• Directly connect the instrument to the computer using a single
USB cable. Do not use a USB hub.
NOTE
• The Musicsoft Downloader application may not be able to access the
instrument in the following cases:
• During a MIDI bulk dump.
• During style playback.
• During song playback.
■ USB Precautions
Please observe the following precautions when connecting the instrument to a computer via a USB cable.

■ External Clock ON/OFF ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Local control determines whether or not notes played on
the instrument are sounded by its internal tone generator
system: the internal tone generator is active when local
control is on, and inactive when local control is off.
These settings determine whether the instrument is synchronized to its own internal clock (OFF), or to a clock
signal from an external device (ON).
ON
This is the normal setting in which notes played on the
instrument’s keyboard are sounded by the internal tone
generator system. Data received via the instrument’s
USB connector will also be played by the internal tone
generator.
OFF
With this setting the instrument itself produces no sound
(keyboard performance, harmony, or style playback), but
the performance data is transmitted via the USB connector. Data received via the instrument’s USB connector will also be played by the internal tone generator.
Local control can turned on or off via the FUNCTION
Local item (page 64).
NOTE
• If you can’t get any sound out of the instrument, this may be the most
likely cause. Playing the keyboard results in no sound when Local is set
to OFF.
66
DGX-205/203, PSR-295/293 Owner’s Manual
ON
The instrument’s time based functions will be synchronized to the clock from an external device connected to
the USB connector.
OFF
The instrument uses its own internal clock (default).
External clock control can turned on or off via the
FUNCTION External Clock item (page 64).
NOTE
• If External Clock is ON and no clock signal is being received from an
external device, the song, style, and metronome functions will not start.

Appendix
Troubleshooting
■ For the DGX-205/203, PSR-295/293
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 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 66.)
Playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard does
not produce any sound.
•
•
•
•
When using the Dictionary function (page 55), 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.
The recorded data of the song, etc. does not play correctly.
• The LCD display suddenly goes dark, and all panel settings are reset.
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” on page 66.
Make sure that the Style Volume (page 63) is set to an appropriate level.
The style does not sound properly.
Is the split point set at an appropriate key for the cords you are playing? Set
the split point at an appropriate key (page 51).
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 [START/
STOP] button is pressed after selecting style number
112 or a style between 124 and 135 (Pianist).
This is not a malfunction. Style number 112 and style numbers 124 – 135
(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 style playback 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 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 wrong notes sound when the keyboard is played.
Perhaps the performance assistant technology is turned on.
Press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button to turn it off.
The ACMP ON indicator does not appear when the
[ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed.
Is the [STYLE] button lit? Always press the [STYLE] button first when you are
going to use any style-related function.
There is no harmony sound.
The harmony effects (01 – 26) behave differently according to their type.
Types 01 – 05 function when style playback is on, chords are played in the
accompaniment range of the keyboard, and a melody is played in the righthand range. Types 06 – 26 will function whether style playback is on or off. For
types 06 = 12 you need to play two notes at the same time.

Voice List
■ 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 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 “115:
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.)

Description
Harmony types 01 – 05 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 6 – 26 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 17). 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 Trill effect Types (06 – 12) create two-note trills (alternating notes) when
two notes are held.
• The Tremolo effect Types (13 – 19) repeat all held notes (up to four).
• The Echo effect Types (20 – 26) create delayed repeats of each note played.
