This section explains the contents of the Digital Keyboard’s
display screen.
1
Detailed information area
This area displays a variety of information while the Digital
Keyboard is being used. Use this area to confirm proper
operation when changing values, when selecting a menu
item, and when performing other operations.
2
Level meter area
This level meter shows the volume level of the notes that
are sounded when you play something on the keyboard or
when Auto Accompaniment is played. There are a total of
32 parts, 16 each in Group A and Group B. The L
indicator will be displayed in the lower left corner while
Group A parts are being indicated by the level meter, while
the M indicator will be displayed in the lower left corner
while Group B parts are being indicated.
For details about parts, see “How Parts are Organized”
(page E-38).

Indicator areas
The indicator area shows such information as the current
mode (page E-7), the status of settings, the status of Auto
Accompaniment, and other information.
There are two types of indicators: text type indicators such
as :, and pointer (K) type indicators. In the case of
pointer type indicators, a setting or status is indicated by
the location of the K next to fixed text along the sides of the
display. For example, the location of the pointer (K) on the
right side of the display in the sample below indicates
REVERB.

Registration bank area
This area shows the number of the currently selected
registration bank (page E-61).
5
Chord area
This area shows the chord being played when Auto
Accompaniment (page E-26) or music preset (page E-49)
is being used. It also can display fraction chords by
showing the chord root (C, G, etc.) and type (m, 7th, etc.).

Tempo, measure, beat area
Tempo is shown as the current setting value, as beats per
minute. Auto Accompaniment, the metronome (page
E-19), and other playback is performed at the tempo
shown here. The MEASURE and BEAT values are
counted up as Auto Accompaniment, the metronome, or
other playback progresses.
The item that is currently selected on a display screen is
indicated by thick brackets (%) and by a large dot (0). The
currently selected item is the one that is affected by the R-14
(–, +) buttons or dial operations.
On this screen, “RHYTHM” is selected because it is enclosed
by thick brackets. This indicates that the rhythm setting can be
changed.
On this screen, “Touch” is selected because the 0 is next to
it. This indicates that the value to the right of “Touch”, which is
