General Guide
E-7
Your Digital Keyboard has three modes: a rhythm mode, a
card mode, and a song sequencer mode. The currently
selected mode is shown as an indicator on the display.
•Rhythm mode (: indicator displayed)
Under its initial factory default settings, the Digital Keyboard
enters the rhythm mode whenever it is turned on. The
rhythm mode is the base mode, and it is the mode you
should enter when you want to play on the keyboard or use
Auto Accompaniment.
• Card mode (; indicator displayed)
Enter the card mode when you want to perform memory
card operations. See “Using a Memory Card” (page E-131)
for more information.
– In the rhythm mode, pressing the C-9 (CARD) button will
enter the card mode.
– In the card mode, pressing the C-9 (CARD) button or the
R-15 (EXIT) button will return to the rhythm mode.
• Song sequencer mode (< indicator displayed)
Enter the sequencer mode when you want to record
performances using the keyboard and Auto
Accompaniment, or to play back song data. For details, see
“Using the Song Sequencer” (page E-63).
– In the rhythm mode, pressing the C-5 (SONG
SEQUENCER) button will enter the song sequencer
mode.
– In the song sequencer mode, pressing the C-5 (SONG
SEQUENCER) button or the R-15 (EXIT) button will
return to the rhythm mode.
• After entering any mode besides the rhythm mode and
performing the operations you want, be sure to return
to the rhythm mode.
• Unless otherwise specifically noted, all of the
operations described in this user’s guide are
performed in the rhythm mode.
You can use the same operations to display mode and
function specific menus. To display a menu, hold down the
R-13 (FUNCTION) button as you press the C-17 (MENU)
button. For example, the “Performance” menu shown below
will appear if you perform the above operation while in the
rhythm mode. This menu provides instant access to
performance functions.
• The currently selected item is the one with the 0 next to it.
You can use the R-17 (t, y) buttons to move the 0 up
and down. You also can use the R-17 (u, i) buttons to
scroll between menu pages.
• To exit a displayed menu, press the R-15 (EXIT) button.
You may need to press the R-15 (EXIT) button more than
once in some cases.
• The menu items and operations for specific modes and
functions are described in each section of this user’s guide.
Never try to perform any operation, or insert or remove a
memory card while the message “Please Wait” is on the
display. Wait until the message disappears.
• “Please Wait” indicates that the Digital Keyboard is
performing a data save operation. Turning off the Digital
Keyboard or removing the memory card can cause Digital
Keyboard data to be deleted or become corrupted. It also
can cause the Digital Keyboard to fail to turn on when the
L-1 (POWER) button is pressed.
• If this happens, refer to “Troubleshooting” (page E-145).
