A word about the power cord  
Power source  
1. Be sure the line voltage selector is in accord-  
ance with local voltage in your area before con-  
necting the plug to the socket.  
If the power cord is scarred, is partially cut or  
broken, or has a bad contact, it may cause a fire or  
serious electrical shock if used. NEVER use a dam-  
aged power cord for any appliance. Moreover, the  
power cord should never be forcibly bent.  
2. DC power cannot be used.  
Don’t touch the inside parts of this  
unit.  
Handling the power cord

potential. Never try to remove the top or back  
panels of this unit, or to touch inside parts by hand  
or with tools.  
hands.  
2. Dont pull the power cord.  
Metal items inside the unit may re-  
sult in electric shock or damage.  
Do not permit metal articles to get inside the unit.  
Contact someone who is qualified in order to in-  
spect the inside, or to replace a fuse, if such be-  
comes necessary. Never attempt to do these things  
yourself.  
Be especially careful with regard to this point if  
children are near this unit. They should be warned  
never to try to put anything inside.  
Maintenance  
The following suggestions will assist you in keep-  
ing the unit in top condition.  
If, nevertheless, some such article does get inside,  
disconnect the power cord plug from the electrical  
outlet, and contact the store where the unit was  
purchased.  
Be sure to switch the instrument off after use,  
and do not switch the unit on and off in quick  
succession, as this places an undue load on the  
electronic components.  
To keep the luster of the surface and buttons,  
simply use a clean, damp cloth; polish with a  
soft, dry cloth. Polish may be used but do not  
use thinners or petro-chemical-based polishes.  
A wax-based polish may be used on the cabinet,  
although you will find that rubbing with a soft  
cloth will suffice.  
If water gets into the unit  
Disconnect the power cord plug from the electrical  
outlet, and contact the store where it was pur-  
chased.

About the display  
A large-size display, easy to operate with excellent readability, is used for displaying various information such as the names of  
the selected sounds and rhythms etc. and when setting the functions. Lets take a look.  
The display illustrations shown in this Users Manual are examples for the sake of clarification; the actual displays on your  
instrument may differ from the illustrations.  
Normal display (HOME PAGE)  
This is the kind of information you see on the display during  
a normal performance.

Volume balance  
At the bottom half of the normal display, the volume balance  
of each part is represented in a fader illustration and by a  
number (0 to 127). You can use the balance buttons below  
the display to adjust the volumes.  
<Performance parts>

MUTE  
To mute a part, press both the corresponding upper and lower  
buttons at the same time.  
The volume display for a muted part is shown as MUTE.  
Pressing either balance button for a muted part will cancel  
the mute function.  
OTHER PARTS/TR button  
If you press the OTHER PARTS/TR button, the display  
changes to show the volumes of PART (PT) 116. You can  
then adjust the volumes of these parts. These parts are active  
when playing back a song disk or when this instrument is  
connected to external MIDI equipment and is used as a multi-  
timbre sound generator.  
When there are other parts or tracks to access, the OTHER  
PARTS/TR indicator is lit.

Sustain pedal  
Sostenuto pedal  
When a key is released while this pedal is depressed, the  
sound is sustained so that it lingers and slowly fades out.  
This effect does not work for the sounds in the DRUM  
KITS group.  
If this pedal is pressed while the keys are pressed, the sustain  
effect is applied to those notes only. If the pedal is pressed  
first and the keys are then pressed, the sustain effect does  
not work for those notes.  
This effect does not work for some sounds.  
The length of the sustain can be set for each part. (Refer  
to page 104.)  
PR804: This pedal is an eight-stage pedal, and the length  
of the sustain is controlled by the degree to which the  
pedal is depressed.  
For continuous-type sounds, such as ORGAN, the notes  
sound as long as the pedal is pressed.  
You can select a different function to control with this  
pedal. (Refer to page 121.)  
Soft pedal  
When this pedal is depressed, the sound is softer and the  
volume is slightly lower.  
You can select a different function to control with this  
pedal. (Refer to page 121.)  
String resonance  
String resonance is the sound heard in an acoustic piano  
when the struck strings produce a sympathetic resonance of  
the other unstruck strings. For the GRAND PIANO and  
UPRIGHT PIANO sounds, string resonance is produced as  
long as the sustain pedal is depressed. The amount of string  
resonance can be adjusted.  
1. Press and hold the GRAND button for about  
3 seconds.

STRING RESONANCE DEPTH is shown on the display.  
2. Use the and buttons to adjust the amount  
of resonance (0 to 99).  
The higher the number, the greater the amount of reso-  
nance.  
When set to 0, there is no string resonance.

CONDUCTOR  
PANEL MEMORY  
TECHNI-CHORD turns your single note melodies into full chords and offers you a choice of different types from a simple duet  
which adds one harmony note to your melody note, to big band reeds which adds four harmony notes to your melody note. If  
TECHNI-CHORD is part of a ONE TOUCH PLAY or PIANO STYLIST registration, a suitable TECHNI-CHORD type will be selected  
automatically.  
Example:  
Left hand (chord)  
C
F
G
C
Right hand (melody)  
ORCHESTRATOR  
1. Split the keyboard into left and right sections.  
You can specify which part is used for the harmony tones.  
Your TECHNI-CHORD performance is enhanced by selecting  
harmony sounds different from the sounds you play and the  
sounds produced by the automatic accompaniment.  
2. Press the TECHNI-CHORD button to turn it  
on.  
Use the and buttons to select the part for  
TECHNI-CHORD  
the harmony notes.  
If CONDUCTOR is selected, the harmony notes are pro-  
duced in the sounds of the part which is currently selected  
in the CONDUCTOR (RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2). In other words,  
the harmony notes are produced in the same sound as  
the melody notes. If both RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 are on,  
the harmony notes are produced in the sound of the  
RIGHT 1 part.  
3. Play the keyboard.  
The melody you play with your right hand is automatically  
played in chords which are based on the chords you play  
with your left hand.  
This feature does not work for a part for which SOLO is  
set to on.  
In the case of EASY RECORD (see page 65), when set  
to CONDUCTOR or a part other than PART 4, the  
TECHNI-CHORD sound is not recorded; so when you use  
EASY RECORD, please set to one or the other.  
This feature is very effective when used with the AUTO  
PLAY CHORD.

CONDUCTOR  
PANEL MEMORY  
Simply by playing a chord on the keyboard, the AUTO PLAY CHORD function automatically plays an accompaniment pattern  
which matches perfectly the selected rhythm. With a real accompaniment as a background, you can concentrate on playing the  
melody.  
How the AUTO PLAY CHORD works  
When an AUTO PLAY CHORD mode is selected, an auto-  
matic accompaniment which matches the rhythm you have  
chosen is played in the chord which you specify with your  
left hand. The melody is played with your right hand.  
The accompaniment pattern of the AUTO PLAY CHORD  
is composed of 8 parts: DRUMS 1, 2, BASS, ACCOMP  
Chord  
Melody  
15.  
The volume of each part can be adjusted with the buttons  
below the display. (Refer to page 31.)  
How to play chords  
There are four different ways to specify chords on the key-  
board.  
BASIC mode  
For beginning players, a left-hand chord can be specified with  
just one finger. You can either press one key on the left key-  
board section to specify the root note (one-finger), or play  
all the notes of the chord (fingered).  
The LEFT button in the CONDUCTOR turns off. You can  
turn it on and the LEFT part will be heard, but when the  
LEFT HOLD function is OFF, only the <Fingered> method  
can be used to specify chords. (Refer to page 49.)  
When the rhythm is on, even if the keys are released, the  
accompaniment continues to play in the specified chord  
until you specify another chord.

Part II  
Playing the rhythm  
<One-finger>  
Example: C chord  
Press a key in the left keyboard section to specify the root  
note. The major chord corresponding to this root note is auto-  
matically played in an accompaniment pattern.  
When three or more keys of a chord are pressed, it is  
recognized as a <fingered> chord.  
Minor, seventh and minor seventh chords are also easily produced.

Play the root note plus a black  
key to the left of it.  
Play the root note plus a white  
key to the left of it.  
Play the root note plus a black  
key and a white key to the left  
of it.  
Example: Cm  
Example: C7  
Example: Cm7  
<Fingered>  
Specify the chord by playing all the notes in the chord. When  
you play chords this way, the AUTO PLAY CHORD recog-  
nizes more chord types, and thus the scope of your perform-  
ance expression is expanded.  
Play chords by pressing at least three keys.  
If the CHORD FINDER procedure is used, you can see the  
types of chords that can be specified and the keys you  
press to play them. (Refer to page 50.)  
ADVANCED 1 mode  
PIANIST mode  
In this mode, the chord is specified by playing it (fingered)  
on the left part of the keyboard. Chords which the AUTO  
PLAY CHORD does not recognize are ignored.  
The keyboard automatically divides into left and right play-  
ing sections.  
In the PIANIST mode, the entire keyboard can be used to  
specify chords for the automatic accompaniment. This mode  
is used to add an automatic accompaniment to the perform-  
ance on a standard piano.  
The keyboard does not split.  
The sound selected for the left section of the keyboard is  
produced, but you can mute this part. (Refer to page 31.)  
Play chords by pressing at least three keys.  
If the CHORD FINDER procedure is used, you can see the  
types of chords that can be specified and the keys you  
press to play them. (Refer to page 50.)  
Chords can be specified (fingered) anywhere on the key-  
board.  
Chords are specified in the same manner as for the AD-  
VANCED 1 mode, and the types of chords are also the  
same.  
When the rhythm is on, even if the keys are released, the  
accompaniment continues to play in the specified chord  
until you specify another chord.  
<APC HOLD>  
During a performance in the PIANIST mode, for example, if  
you press the pedal to which the APC HOLD function is as-  
signed, the currently specified chord is maintained, allowing  
you to focus your performance on a solo melody.  
The accompaniment continues in the same chord as long  
as the pedal is depressed, and it does not change even if  
other chords are played.  
ADVANCED 2 mode  
Chords are specified in the same manner as for <Fingered>  
chords in the BASIC mode. However, if the AUTO PLAY  
CHORD does not recognize the chord, the automatic accom-  
paniment is based on the pitches of some of the pressed  
keys.  
To change the pedal assignment, refer to page 121.

4. Select an AUTO PLAY CHORD mode.  
When you use FILL IN, INTRO and ENDING, the auto-  
matic accompaniment is also used in these patterns.  
You can set the mode which determines how the LEFT  
part sounds during an AUTO PLAY CHORD performance.  
(Refer to the following section on LEFT HOLD.)  
In the initialized condition, when the rhythm is off, if an  
AUTO PLAY CHORD mode is on and a chord is specified,  
the specified root note (R. BASS part) and chord notes  
(CHORD part) are produced. The volumes of these notes  
can be adjusted. (Refer to page 31.)  
After a few seconds, the display returns to the previous  
display.  
If the BASIC or an ADVANCED mode was selected, the  
keyboard automatically splits into right and left sections.  
ON BASS  
If the ON BASS button is ON, the BASS part is produced in  
the key of the lowest note of the played chord, thus making  
it possible to play chords such as C on G (excluding <one-  
finger> chords).  
For example, with the ON BASS button on, if you play a  
C chord by pressing the keys G, C and E, the BASS part  
is produced in the key of G.  
7. To stop the automatic accompaniment, press  
the START/STOP button.  
If you wish the automatic accompaniment to begin and  
end the performance, set the OFF/ON button to off.  
5. Press the START/STOP button to begin the  
rhythm.  
You can start the rhythm by playing a key on the keyboard.  
(Refer to page 45.)  
LEFT HOLD  
This setting determines how the LEFT part sounds when the  
LEFT button in the CONDUCTOR is on during a performance  
with the BASIC or ADVANCED 1, 2 mode.  
OFF:  
1. Press the AUTO PLAY CHORDs MODE but-

The display changes to the following.

When BASIC is selected the LEFT part turns off, but it  
will sound if you turn it on.  
Touch response does not function for the LEFT part.  
When the mode is set to ON, during a rhythm perform-  
ance, the LEFT part continues to play even when the keys  
are released.  
2. Use the LEFT HOLD: ON/OFF button to set  
the mode to on or off.

APC VOLUME  
CHORD FINDER  
To adjust the volume balance between the automatic accom-  
paniment and the parts you play manually on the keyboard,  
the volume of all the automatic accompaniment parts can be  
lowered as one.  
The CHORD FINDER can help, for example, when you do  
not know which keys to press to specify a given chord. When  
you input the chord name, the CHORD FINDER shows you  
which keys to press and even lets you hear the notes that  
make up.

APC/SEQUENCER  
VOLUME  
The display changes to the following.  
MAX  
OFF  
Use this control to lower the automatic accompaniment  
volume when it is too loud relative to your manual per-  
formance.  
At the MAX position, the volumes of the automatic ac-  
companiment parts correspond to their current settings;  
at the OFF position, the volume is 0. The volume should  
normally be set to MAX.  
2. Select CHORD FINDER.  
The display changes to the following.  
The set values are shown in the APC column of the volume  
balance display. (Refer to page 31.)  
The volume can be adjusted for each part. (Refer to page  
31.)  
When the position of the slide control coincides with the  
actual volume, the indicator is lit. When the volume is  
changed by of the PANEL MEMORY or SEQUENCER  
playback, the actual volume differs from that indicated by  
the position of the slide control. In this case, the indicator  
is not lit.  
The volume of the PIANO PERFORMANCE PADS part  
does not change. (PR804)  
During SEQUENCER playback or disk DIRECT PLAY,  
operation of this slide control affects the total volume of  
all the playback parts.  
3. Use the APC MODE button to select the auto-  
matic accompaniment mode you will use to  
specify chords (BASIC, ADVANCED1).  
When storing chords with the SEQUENCER, this button  
is not shown (MODE is fixed at BASIC).  
In the list column are shown the chords which can be  
specified in each mode.  
4. Use the ROOT buttons to select the root note  
of the chord. Use the TYPE buttons to select  
the type of chord.  
A typical way to finger the specified chord (TYPICAL) is  
illustrated on a keyboard diagram.  
Each time the INV. button is pressed, different INVER-  
SION fingerings are illustrated in order. (If there is no  
INVERSION fingering for the specified chord, this button  
is not shown on the display.)  
When the button with a picture of an ear is pressed, the  
notes of the illustrated chord sound.  
5. To exit the CHORD FINDER procedure, press  
the EXIT button.

PANEL MEMORY  
A sequencer records your performance in a similar way to a tape recorder. This instruments SEQUENCER allows you to record  
up to 10 performances in a variety of ways. You may want to record your entire performance in one go (especially if you are using  
AUTO PLAY CHORD to provide the accompaniment), or to build up a complex arrangement with several different parts playing  
together, like an orchestral score. This instruments SEQUENCER has 16 tracks. This means that you can record 16 different  
parts. However, you dont have to use all 16 tracks. For some uses you may only need to use one or two tracks. This instruments  
SEQUENCER enables you to edit your recorded performance. Unlike a tape recorder you can change the sound or the tempo  
during playback, or correct wrong notes or timing errors.  
SEQUENCER features  
Memory capacity  
Up to 10 songs can be stored in the SEQUENCER. Expressed  
in terms of notes, the total number of notes which can be  
stored in all the SEQUENCER songs and tracks is about  
40,000. The remaining memory available for recording is  
shown on the display as a percentage (MEMORY= %).  
When Memory full!appears on the display, no more data  
can be stored in the SEQUENCER.  
You can change the tempo without chang-  
ing the pitch  
When you record your performance at a slow tempo and play  
it back at a faster tempo, the pitch stays the same.  
Consistent sound  
Your performance is reproduced by a sound module as it  
reads digital data. So, unlike a recorded tape, the sound  
never deteriorates no matter how many times you play back  
your performance.  
The recorded contents can be saved on a disk for recall at  
a later time. (Refer to page 99.)  
SEQUENCER menu  
Edit your recorded performance  
Comprehensive editing functions allow you to modify your  
recorded performance. Data can easily be erased, corrected  
or copied, providing an especially convenient tool for creating  
your original tunes.  
The configuration of the SEQUENCER setting display is as  
follows.  
1. Press the PROGRAM MENUS button to turn  
it on.  
Instant search  
A recorded tape has to be rewound, but digital action means  
you can return to the beginning of your performance, or find

When the tempo is changed, all the tempo data of that song is automatically changed by the same ratio. Accordingly, even  
in song data in which tempo change data is stored, a single adjustment of the tempo produces a natural-sounding playback.  
To return to the original tempo, while the song is stopped press the SEQUENCER RESET button (the tempo data is necessary  
at the beginning of the CONTROL track). Note that the tempo change is also canceled when you switch to another song or  
load a new song.

SEQUENCER VOLUME  
When playing the keyboard along with a recorded perform-  
ance, you can adjust the total volume of all the playback parts  
as one.  
At the MAX position, the volume of the playback parts  
correspond to their current settings; at the OFF position,  
the volume is 0.

MAX  
Except during SEQUENCER playback or DIRECT PLAY  
of a disk, this slide control adjusts the total volume of all  
the automatic accompaniment parts.  
During SEQUENCER recording, the volume is automat-  
ically at its maximum regardless of the position of the  
slide control. During playback, however, lowering the slide  
control from the MAX position will lower the volume from  
its recorded level. For this reason, the slide control should  
normally be left in the MAX position.

100% is a convenient setting. When set to 100%, the  
performance data is quantized exactly to the level  
specified for the VALUE (just). For example, at 50%,  
the data is quantized to a point that is half that of the just  
level. By this setting, you can attain an effect that is very  
slightly off-beat from the rhythm.  
8. Use the WINDOW and buttons to specify  
the range (%) affected by the quantize setting.  
With the increment set to 100 for the VALUE, at a +  
setting, data close to the just point is corrected, and at a  
setting, data far from the just point is corrected. For  
example, if set to 30% the quantize function affects data  
far from the just point, and if set to +30% the quantize  
function affects data close to the just point. +100% is  
usually a convenient setting.

PANEL MEMORY  
The COMPOSER enables you to create your own accompaniment patterns. A pattern is comprised of 8 parts: DRUMS 1, 2, BASS  
and ACCOMP15 parts. These parts would form the backing of a song.  
Rhythm components which can be stored  
Different INTRO 1, 2, VARIATION 1 to 4, ENDING 1, 2 pat-  
terns can be created for each MEMORY (A, B, C).  
Each VARIATION is made of a PATTERN, FILL 1 and FILL  
2.  
A Maj (major) and Min (minor) pattern is available for each  
of the INTRO and ENDING 1 and 2.

About Standard MIDI Files  
Standard MIDI File(SMF) is a standardized data format  
which makes it possible for music data to be exchanged  
among different sequencers. Data stored in this format on  
sequencers of different models can be played back on this  
instrument, and vice versa. Note, however, that Standard  
MIDI Files ensure the compatibility of data such as NOTE  
data (keyboard performance data), VELOCITY (how hard the  
keyboard is played), PROGRAM NUMBER data (voice num-  
ber data), etc. Because it does not guarantee 100% faithful  
reproduction of recorded music which is replete with such  
data, it may be necessary for you to adjust the settings to  
your satisfaction.  
Only files with the .MIDextension can be loaded.  
Standard MIDI File FORMAT 1 can be loaded, but not  
saved.  
This instruments SEQUENCER data can be saved to a  
disk in Standard MIDI File (FORMAT 0) and can be used  
by other equipment.  
BACKUP  
MIDI (USER memory of the MIDI PRESETS)  
FAVORITES  
When creating or saving song data, it is recommended that  
you use the performance data in the PERFORMANCE  
group.  
Instead of using MIDI & FAVORITES as frequently loaded  
and saved data, it is recommended that you save it with  
other data as this instruments backup data.  
A mark indicates that data can be loaded to and from a  
*
specific memory (SINGLE LOAD).  
The SEQUENCER contents can be saved in one-song in-  
crements (SEQUENCER SONG SAVE).  
Please use 2HD disks to load/save BACKUP data.

If there is no point assignment in the SEQUENCER song  
you are trying to save even though your original images  
have been loaded, when the SAVE button is pressed, a  
display appears asking whether or not the image data is  
to be saved.  
When there is various data other than performance data  
stored at the beginning of a file, the start of playback may  
be delayed. This can be avoided by set the 1 MEASURE  
SPACE to ON, thereby inserting a space at the beginning  
of the performance.  
If it seems the data you saved with the 1 MEASURE  
SPACE set to OFF is not played back properly, try saving  
it again with it set to ON.  
When set to ON, a space is added each time a file is  
saved. Therefore, if you have already saved a file once  
with the 1 MEASURE SPACE set to ON, please set it to  
OFF each time the file is subsequently saved.

SOUND EDIT enables you to create your own new sound by altering one of the this instruments preset sounds. Your new sound  
can be stored in one of the sound memory locations. SOUND EDIT has two methods of use. You can edit in detail using functions  
more commonly associated with a synthesizer, or you can use EASY EDIT which allows you to change some basic parameters  
on one page.  
To record the DIGITAL DRAWBAR settings, first adjust  
the settings, then enter the SOUND EDIT mode, press  
the WRITE button and follow the procedure on the display.  
1. Select a sound to edit.  
2. Turn on the PROGRAM MENUS button.

Part XII MIDI  
What is MIDI?  
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is the international standard for digital communication of electronic musical instrument  
data. This means that any equipment which has a MIDI terminalsuch as electronic musical instruments and personal comput-  
erscan easily exchange digital data with other MIDI equipment without resorting to complicated conversions or connections.  
MIDI terminals  
(On the rear panel)  
IN:  
The terminal by which this instrument receives data  
from other equipment.  
OUT:  
The terminal that transmits data from this instrument to  
other equipment.  
THRU:  
THRU  
OUT  
MIDI  
IN  
The terminal that transfers data from the IN terminal  
directly.  
For these connections, use a commercially available MIDI  
cable.

MIDI channels  
Many different kinds of performance data are sent using just  
one MIDI cable. This is possible because MIDI signals are  
sent and received through 16 different basic channels(num-  
bered 1 to 16). In order for the exchange of data to take  
place, the channels on the transmission side must match the  
channels on the receiving side. This characteristic also  
makes it possible to link multiple sound generators and to  
control each by matching specific channels.

Part XII  
MIDI  
The following kinds of data can be transmitted/received.  
NOTE data  
PROGRAM CHANGE  
This is sound change data. When a different sound is selected  
on the transmitting instrument, the sound on the receiving  
instrument also changes.  
This is the most basic kind of MIDI data which is exchanged,  
and is used to specify which keys are played and how hard  
they are played.  
NOTE NUMBER: Number specifying which key is played.  
NOTE ON: Specifies that a key is played.  
NOTE OFF: Specifies that a key is released.  
VELOCITY: Specifies how hard a key is struck.  
CONTROL CHANGE  
These are volume, sustain, effect, etc. data used to enhance  
performance expression. Each function is distinguished by  
its control number, and the function which can be changed  
by the control differs depending on the instrument.  
MIDI notes are assigned numbers from 0 to 127, with middle  
C (C3) as 60. Note pitches are in semitone increments,  
with the higher numbers assigned to the higher pitches.  
EXCLUSIVE data  
This is data that is specific to this instrument, and data for  
the GENERAL MIDI LEVEL 2 mode setting.

instruments memory changes to that of the data loaded from  
the disk. If you wish to preserve a song which is stored in this  
instruments memory, save it on a disk before performing the  
load procedure. (Refer to page 99.)  
Data cannot be exchanged through MIDI terminals.  
The sound quavers or is distorted.  
Match the channels on the transmitting side and the receiving  
side. (Refer to page 127.)  
When the USB terminal or both the MIDI IN and OUT terminals  
are connected to a computer, depending on the computer  
software the received data may be sent back to the instrument  
just as it is. Because of this the sound generated from the keys  
and the sound generated from the returned data are both  
produced, causing undesirable effects, such as the sounds  
canceling each other out, for example. In this case, either  
change the software settings to prevent received data from  
being returned, or set the MIDI LOCAL CONTROL to off.  
Noise from a radio or TV can be heard.  
This sometimes occurs when electrical equipment such as a  
radio or TV is used near the instrument. Try moving such  
electrical equipment further away from the instrument.  
The sound may be coming from a nearby broadcast station or  
amateur radio station. If the sound is bothersome, consult your  
dealer or service center.  
The cabinet becomes warm during use.  
This instrument has a built-in power source that heats the  
cabinet to some degree. This is not an indication of trouble.
