06 How many hours can I continue to use the unit
on battery power?
Approximately 3.5 hours (when using nickel-metal hydride batteries with
1,900 mAh capacity).
However, the usable time might decrease depending on the volume of the
internal speakers.
07 Do the internal speakers produce enough
volume for a live performance?
They are not suitable for this purpose.
The internal speakers are intended for personal enjoyment by the
individual who is playing the instrument. For use in a live performance, we
recommend that you connect an external amp or speaker.
Operating the Unit
08 Why do the panel knobs and buttons work
sometimes and not at other times?
The parameters are dierent for each model, so there are cases in which
a controller has no parameter. Since the controllers without a parameter
dier between models, a controller might or might not have an eect.
The parameter that is controlled by each knob or button will dier
depending on the model used by the tone that’s assigned to the current
part (the currently selected part).
& “Correspondence Between Controllers and Parameters” (p. 27)
09 Is there a way to move quickly to the edit
screen for the parameter controlled by each
knob?
Yes.
1. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and turn the knob of the
parameter that you want to edit.
The setting screen appears.
& “Correspondence Between Controllers and Parameters” (p. 27)
10 Is there a way to check the current value of
a setting without aecting the state of the
sound?
Yes.
1. Hold down the [EXIT] button and operate the knob that you
want to check.
The current value of the setting is shown.
11 Is there a way to quickly change the
PORTAMENTO TIME?
Yes.
1. While the [FUNCTION] button (or the [PART] button) is lit,
hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [PORTAMENTO]
button.
The PORTAMENTO TIME setting screen appears.
2. Use knob [2] to edit the PORTAMENTO TIME.
12 The part on/o button is lit, but I can’t play the
sound of that part from the keyboard.
(Buttons [6]–[9] when the [PART] button is lit)
This might be due the following reasons.
5 The part might be assigned for arpeggio performance
5 The I-ARPEGGIO [ON/OFF] button is ON, and the ARPEGGIO PART EDIT
parameter Switch is “ON” or “KEYSW”
& “If the Keyboard Does Not Play Sound” (p. 18)
13 Is there a way to move quickly to the TONE
(PARTIAL) edit screen?

S2/S3] buttons?
Yes.

button that you want to assign.
The assignment screen for the corresponding controller appears.

recalled by the MODEL buttons [1]–[16]?
