Voices
The preset Voices are categorized into the types listed below. Refer to the “Voice List” in the Data List
(separate PDF) to see the type of each Voice.
Voice Characteristics
VRM
(Virtual Resonance
Modeling)
See the Owner’s Manual, Chapter 2.
S.Art!
(Super Articulation)
See the Owner’s Manual, Chapter 2.
Natural! Natural! Voices are high quality sounds on many specialist sampling techniques.
They are especially suited to recreating Piano and other keyboard instruments.
Live! Live! Voices feature stereo sampling, to reproduce accurately the stereo image of
an acoustic instrument, as well as the ambience of the room it was recorded in.
Cool! Cool! Voices reproduce the complex characteristics of Electric Instruments, by
utilizing sophisticated programming techniques in both voicing, and the use of
DSP effects.
Sweet! Sweet! Voices are acoustic instruments which feature the sampled vibrato of the
original player, creating a far more realistic and emotional performance than
synthesized vibrato.
Drums Drum & Percussion instruments are mapped across the keyboard so you can play
them directly, or use in music production.
Live! Drums Stereo sampling is used for these high definition Drum and Percussion
instruments, which are mapped across the keyboard so you can play them directly,
or use in music production.
SFX Special percussion and sound effects are mapped across the keyboard, so you can
play them directly, or use in music production.
Live! SFX Stereo sampling is used for these high definition special percussion and sound
effects, which are mapped across the keyboard so you can play them directly, or
use in music production.
MegaVoice MegaVoice is a special Voice format designed for use in Styles and Songs, not for
live performance. Different velocity ranges are used to select dramatically
different playing styles simultaneously, and without changing the Voice.
Actual sound maps for the MegaVoices are given in the Data List (separate PDF).
NOTE MegaVoices are not compatible with other instrument models. For this reason, any Song or Style you’ve created
on this instrument using these Voices will not sound properly when played back on the instruments which do not
have these types of Voices.
NOTE MegaVoices sound differently depending on keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you apply keyboard
harmony (page 7), change the transpose setting or change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired
sounds may result.

Harmony
The types from Standard Duet 1 to Strum apply the harmony effect to notes played in the right-hand
section of the keyboard according to the chord specified in the left-hand section of the keyboard. (Note
that the “1+5” and “Octave” settings are not affected by the chord.) If you want to use these types with
the Style stopped, set the Stop ACMP parameter to a setting other than Disabled in the Style Setting
display (page 25).
• When the [ACMP] button is on and the Left part is off:
• When the [ACMP] button is off and the Left part is on:
• When both the [ACMP] button and the Left part are on:
The Multi Assign effect automatically assigns notes played simultaneously on the right-hand section of
the keyboard to separate parts (Voices). Both of the keyboard parts [MAIN] and [LAYER] should be
turned on when using the Multi Assign effect. The Main and Layer Voices are alternately assigned to the
notes in the order you play.
Echo
When Echo, Tremolo or Trill is selected, the corresponding effect (echo, tremolo, trill) is applied to the
note played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo, regardless of the
[ACMP] and the Left part on/off status. Keep in mind that Trill only works when you hold down two notes
on the keyboard simultaneously (last two notes if more than two notes are held), and it plays those notes
alternately.

The available settings differ depending on the Harmony type selected in step 4.
6 Play the keyboard.
The effect selected in step 4 is applied to the right-hand melody.
[3 ] Volume This parameter is available for all types with the exception of Multi
Assign. It determines the level of the harmony/echo notes generated by
the Harmony/Echo effect.
[4 ]/
[5 ]
Assign This parameter is available for all types with the exception of Multi
Assign. This lets you determine the keyboard part via which the harmony/
echo notes will be sounded.
• Auto: Applies the effect to the part which is turned on. When the both
parts are on, the Main part is given priority over the Layer part.
• Multi: When both parts are on, the note played on the keyboard is
sounded by Main part and the harmonies (effect) are divided to the
Main and Layer parts. When only one part is on, the note played on the
keyboard and effect are sounded by that part.
• Main, Layer: Applies the effect to the selected part (Main or Layer).
[6 ] Speed This parameter is only available when Echo, Tremolo, or Trill is selected
in Type above. It determines the speed of the Echo, Tremolo, and Trill
effects.
[7 ] Chord Note Only This parameter is available when one of the Harmony Types is selected.
When this is set to On, the Harmony effect is applied only to notes
(played in the right-hand section of the keyboard) that belong to a chord
played in the chord section of the keyboard.
[8 ] Minimum
Velocity
This parameter is available for all types with the exception of Multi
Assign. It determines the lowest velocity value at which the harmony note
will sound. This allows you to selectively apply the harmony by your
playing strength, letting you create harmony accents in the melody. The
harmony effect is applied when you play the key strongly (above the set
value).

Preset Scale types
Pitch-Related Settings
Equal
The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each half-
step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in music today.
Pure Major, Pure
Minor
These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for
triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies—
such as choirs and a cappella singing.
Pythagorean
This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a
series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tun-
ing are slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some
leads.
Mean-Tone
This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the
major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th century
to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale.

3 Change the following settings as necessary.
NOTE If you want to store the Scale Tune settings to Registration Memory, be sure to checkmark Scale Tune in the Registration Memory display called up via the
[MEMORY] button.
NOTE If a VRM Voice is selected as the Main part, the resonance of all VRM Voices is set to the same scale type as that of the Main part. If a Voice other than a
VRM Voice is selected as the Main part, the resonance of any other VRM Voices is set to Equal.
Pitch Settings for Each Keyboard Part
You can set the pitch independently for each keyboard part.
1 Call up the operation display.
[MENU] → Cursor buttons [][][E][F] Voice Setting, [ENTER] → TAB [E][F] Tune
2 Use the Cursor buttons [][] to select the item, and then use the [3 ] – [8 ]
buttons to adjust the value for the corresponding part.
1 Tuning
Determines the pitch of each keyboard part.
2 Octave
Determines the range of the pitch change in octaves, over two octaves up or down for each keyboard part.
3 Portamento Time
Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the keyboard
to the next. The Portamento Time determines the pitch transition time. Higher values result in a longer
pitch change time. Setting this to “0” results in no effect. This parameter is available when the selected
keyboard part is set to Mono (page 13).
Werckmeister,
Kirnberger
This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems, which
were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The
main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique character. The scale
was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is
often used when performing period music on the harpsichord.
Arabic1, Arabic2
Use these tunings when playing Arabic music.
[2 ] Base Note Determines the base note for each scale. When the base note is changed,
the pitch of the keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch
relationship between the notes.
[3 ]/
[4 ]
Tune Select the desired note to be tuned by using the [3 ] buttons and tune
it in cents by using the [4 ] buttons.
NOTE In musical terms a “cent” is 1/100th of a semitone. (100 cents equal one semitone.)

ume responds to your playing strength.
• Depth: Determines the velocity sensitivity, or how much the level of the
Voice changes in response to your playing strength (velocity).
• Offset: Determines the amount by which received velocities are
adjusted for the actual velocity effect.
[5 ]/
[6 ]
Part Octave Shifts the octave range of the edited Voice up or down in octaves. When
the edited Voice is used as any of the Main and Layer parts, the Main/
Layer parameter is available; when the edited Voice is used as the Left
part, the Left parameter is available.

polyphonically (Poly).
[3 ]/
[4 ]
Mono Type Determines the behavior of the notes of decaying sounds, such as a guitar,
when they are played with legato with the edited Voice set to Mono above.
• Normal: The next note sounds after the previous note is stopped.
• Legato: The sound of the previously played note is maintained and only
the pitch changes to that of the next note.
• Crossfade: The sound smoothly transitions from the previously played
note to the next note.
NOTE This parameter is unavailable for Super Articulation Voices and Drum/SFX Kit Voices, and behaves
the same as the Normal setting when these Voices are selected.

These allow you to select the function to be assigned to the center or left pedal of the pedal unit (sold
separately) connected to the [PEDAL UNIT] jack.
3 Modulation
When a pedal function is set to Modulation (page 77), the pedal can be used to modulate the parameters
below as well as the pitch (vibrato). Here, you can set the degree to which the pedal modulates each of the
following parameters.
[5 ] Portamento

Determines the pitch transition time when the edited Voice is set to Mono
above.
NOTE Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the
keyboard to the next.
[6 ]/
[7 ]
Portamento Type Determines how an actual pitch transition time is calculated from the Por-
tamento Time value above.
• Fixed Rate: Make the pitch change rate to 0: max., 127: min. The actual
pitch transition time varies according to the interval between the two
notes.
• Fixed Time: Make the actual pitch transition time to 0: min., 127: max.
The pitch change rate varies according to the interval between the two
notes.
NOTE The basic rule of Portamento Time is unchanged even if this setting is changed. When the value of
Portamento Time is smaller, the actual time is shorter; when the value is larger, the actual time is
longer.
NOTE The greater the value of Portamento Time, the clearer the effect of this setting will be.
[1 ] Function Selects the function to be assigned to the center or left pedal. For details
on the pedal functions, see page 76.

respective keyboard part. Depending on the selected function above, the
related parameters such as depth can be set. For details, see the pedal
function list on page 76.
[2 ] Filter Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter Cutoff Fre-
quency. For details about the filter, see below.
[3 ] Amplitude Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude (vol-
ume).
[5 ] LFO PMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the pitch, or the
vibrato effect.
[6 ] LFO FMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter modula-
tion, or the wah effect.
[7 ] LFO AMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude, or the
tremolo effect.

Sound page
1 Filter, EG
• Filter
Filter is a processor that changes the timbre or tone of a sound by either blocking or passing a specific
frequency range. The parameters below determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a
certain frequency range. In addition to making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter can be used to
produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects.
• EG
The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the level of the
sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce many sound
characteristics of natural acoustic instruments—such as the quick
attack and decay of percussion sounds, or the long release of a
sustained piano tone.
2 Vibrato
Vibrato is a quavering, vibrating sound effect that is produced by
regularly modulating the pitch of the Voice.
[2 ] Brightness Determines the cutoff frequency or
effective frequency range of the fil-
ter (see diagram). Higher values
result in a brighter sound.
[3 ] Harmonic
Content
Determines the emphasis given to
the cutoff frequency (resonance),
set in Brightness above (see dia-
gram). Higher values result in a
more pronounced effect.
[4 ] Attack Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after the
key is played. The lower the value, the quicker the attack.
[5 ] Decay Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a slightly
lower level than maximum). The lower the value, the quicker the decay.
[6 ] Release Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is
released. The lower the value, the quicker the decay.
[3 ] Depth Determines the intensity of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings result in a
more pronounced Vibrato.
[4 ] Speed Determines the speed of the Vibrato effect.
[5 ] Delay Determines the amount of time that elapses between the playing of a key
and the start of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings increase the delay of the
Vibrato onset.

Style Types (Characteristics)
The particular type of Style is indicated above (or in the icon at the left of) the Style name on the Style
Selection display or the Main display. The defining characteristics of these Styles and their performance
advantages are described below.
• Adaptive: These Styles can be used with the Adaptive Style function in which the Main variation changes
automatically depending on how dynamically you play the keyboard—without your needing to press the
MAIN VARIATION buttons. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
• Unison: These Styles can be used with the Unison & Accent function, which lets you play in unison and/or
add accents during Style playback. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
• Session: These Styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by mixing in original chord types
and changes, as well as special riffs with chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been pro-
grammed to add “spice” and a professional touch to your performances of certain songs and in certain
genres. Keep in mind, however, that the Styles may not necessarily be appropriate—or even harmonically
correct—for all songs and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a simple major triad for
a country song may result in a “jazzy” seventh chord, or playing an on-bass chord may result in inappropri-
ate or unexpected accompaniment.
• Pianist: These special Styles provide piano-only accompaniment. Just by playing the proper chords with
your left hand, you can automatically add complicated, professional-sounding arpeggios and bass/chord pat-
terns.
DGX-670 Reference Manual 19

Styles
If you want to fully enjoy playing in various Styles but don’t know how to play the appropriate chords, set the
Chord Fingering type to Smart Chord. This lets you control Styles with just a single finger, as long as you
know the key of the music you’re playing—even if you don’t know any chord fingering such as major, minor,
diminished and so on. Appropriate chords suited for the music genre will sound whenever you press a single
note, as if you were playing the “right” chords.
Try out the Smart Chord feature with the following sample score. Simply play the root notes of the chords
indicated in this score with your left hand as you play the melody with your right hand, and listen to how the
chords with their notes and voicings match the music genre you’ve set.
“Home Sweet Home”
Try also selecting Style Easy Swing (via the [STANDARDS & JAZZ] button) by using this score. The Smart
Chord type changes to Jazz, letting you experience a different feel in the Song.

Style stopped, and still hear the accompaniment chord. In this condition—
called “Stop Accompaniment”—any valid chord fingerings are recog-
nized, and the chord root/type are shown in the display. Here, you can
determine whether the chord played in the chord section will sound or not
in the Stop Accompaniment status.
• Disabled: Disables the Stop Accompaniment feature. When Style
playback is stopped, any pressed notes in the chord section of the key-
board will not be recognized as chords.
• Off: The chord played in the chord section will not sound.
• Style: The chord played in the chord section will sound via the Voices
for the Pad channel and the Bass channel of the selected Style.
• Fixed: The chord played in the chord section will sound via the speci-
fied Voice, regardless of the selected Style.
NOTE When the selected Style contains MegaVoices, unexpected sounds may result when this is set to
Style.
NOTE If you record a Song using the Stop Accompaniment, both the Voice that is sounded and the chord
data will be recorded when set to Style, and only the chord data will be recorded when set to Off or
Fixed.
NOTE When this is set to Disabled, chords are not recognized while the Style is stopped. For this reason,
Keyboard Harmony is not applied even if you play a chord in the chord section of the keyboard while
the Style is stopped.

The Style Creator function lets you create original Styles by recording rhythm patterns from the keyboard
and using already-recorded Style data. Basically, select a preset Style that is closest to the type you want to
create, and then record the rhythm pattern, bass line, chord backing, or phrase (referred to as “Source
Pattern” in the Style Creator) for each channel of each Section.
Style Data Structure — Source Patterns
A Style is made up of the different Sections (Intro, Main, Ending, etc.) and each Section has eight separate
channels, each of which is referred to as “Source Pattern.” With the Style Creator feature, you can create a
Style by separately recording the Source Pattern for each channel, or by importing pattern data from other
existing Styles.
Basic Procedure for Creating a Style
1 Select the desired Style to be used as the basis for the new Style.
2 Call up the Style Creator display.
[MENU] → Cursor buttons [][][E][F] Style Creator, [ENTER]
A message appears asking if you want to edit the selected style or create a new one.
3 Press one of the [5 ]/[6 ] (Current Style) buttons to edit the selected Style, or
press one of the [7 ]/[8 ] (New Style) buttons to create a new Style.
When one of the [7 ]/[8 ] buttons is pressed, a blank Style (named “NewStyle”) for recording is
automatically created.
4 From the Basic page, select a Section.
(If the Rec Channel window is shown in the lower half section of the display, press the [EXIT] button.)
Use the Cursor button [] to select 1 Section, and then use the [3 ]/[4 ] (Section) buttons to
select a Section.

NOTE For information on which key to play for each Drum/SFX sound, refer to the Drum/Key Assignment List in the Data List on the website.
Realtime Recording Characteristics in the Style Creator
• Loop Recording
Style playback repeats the rhythm patterns of several measures in a “loop,” and Style recording is also done
using loops. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure Main section, the two measures are
repeatedly recorded. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition (loop), letting you record
while hearing previously recorded material.
• Overdub Recording
This method records new material to a channel already containing recorded data, without deleting the
original data. In Style recording, the recorded data is not deleted, except when using functions such as
Rhythm Clear (page 29) and Channel Delete (pages 29, 31). For example, if you start recording with a two-
measure Main section, the two measures are repeated many times. Notes that you record will play back from
the next repetition, letting you overdub new material to the loop while hearing previously recorded material.
When creating a Style based on an existing internal Style, overdub recording is applied only to the rhythm
channels. For all other channels (except rhythm), you need to delete the original data before recording.

• Available Voices for recording
Any except for the Drum Kit/SFX kit Voices can be used for recording.
• Record a phrase in CM7 (for playing appropriate notes while chords change during performance)
Rules when recording a Main or Fill
With the default initial settings, the Source Root/Chord (page 38) is set to CM7. This means that you
should record a Source Pattern using a CM7 scale, which will change according to the chords you
specify during normal performance. Record a bass line, phrase or chord backing which you want to hear
when CM7 is specified. See below for details.
• Use only the CM7 scale tones when recording the Bass and Phr (Phrase) channels (i.e., C, D, E, G, A,
and B).
• Use only the chord tones when recording the Chd (Chord) and Pad channels (i.e., C, E, G, and B).
If you observe this rule, Style playback notes are appropriately converted depending on the chord
changes you make during your performance.
Rules when recording an Intro or Ending
These Sections are designed assuming that the chord is not changed during playback. This is why you
need not observe the rule for Main and Fill-in Sections described above, and you can create special
chord progressions when recording. However, follow the rules below since the Source Root/Chord is set
to CM7.
• When recording the Intro, make sure that the recorded phrase leads properly into a C scale.
• When recording the Ending, make sure that the recorded phrase begins with or properly follows a C scale.

Editing the Rhythmic Feel (Groove)
The instructions below apply to step 6 of the Basic Procedure on page 27. On the Groove page, you can
change the timing of all notes and velocities, and edit the rhythmic feel for each channel of the current
Section selected on the Basic page or the panel button.
1 In the Groove page, use the Cursor buttons [][] to select the edit menu, and then
edit the data by using the [1 ]–[7 ] buttons.
1 Groove
This lets you add swing to the music or change the “feel” of the beat by making subtle shifts in the timing
(clock) of the Style. The Groove settings are applied to all channels of the Section selected on the Basic
page.
[1 ]/
[2 ]
Original Beat Specifies the beats to which Groove timing is to be applied. In other
words, if 8Beat is selected, Groove timing is applied to 8th notes; if
12 Beat is selected, Groove timing is applied to 8th-note triplets.
[3 ]/
[4 ]
Beat Converter Actually changes the timing of the beats (specified in the Original Beat
parameter above) to the selected value. For example, when Original Beat
is set to 8Beat and Beat Converter is set to “12,” all 8th notes in the sec-
tion are shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The “16A” and “16B” Beat Con-
verter which appear when Original Beat is set to 12 Beat are variations on
a basic 16th-note setting.
[5 ] Swing Produces a “swing” feel by shifting the timing of the back beats, depend-
ing on the Original Beat parameter above. For example, if the specified
Original Beat value is 8Beat, the Swing parameter will selectively delay
the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure to create a swing feel. The
settings “A” through “E” produce different degrees of swing, with “A”
being the most subtle and “E” being the most pronounced.
[6 ]/
[7 ]
Fine Selects a variety of Groove “templates” to be applied to the selected sec-
tion. The Push settings cause certain beats to be played early, while
Heavy settings delay the timing of certain beats. The numbered settings
(2, 3, 4, 5) determine which beats are to be affected. All beats up to the
specified beat—but not including the first beat—will be played early or
delayed (for example, the 2nd and 3rd beats, if “3” is selected). In all
cases, “A” types produce minimum effect, “B” types produce medium
effect, and “C” types produce maximum effect.

Accent Type Determines the type of accent applied—in other words, which notes in the
part(s) are emphasized with the Dynamics settings.
[5 ] Strength Determines how strongly the selected Accent Type (above) will be
applied. The higher the value, the stronger the effect.
[6 ] Expand/Comp. Expands or compresses the range of velocity values. Values higher than
100% expand the dynamic range, while values lower than 100% compress
it.
[7 ] Boost/Cut Boosts or cuts all velocity values in the selected section/channel. Values
above 100% boost the overall velocity, while values below 100% reduce
it.

Making Style File Format Settings (Parameter)
The instructions below apply to step 6 of the Basic Procedure on page 27. The Style File Format (SFF)
combines all of Yamaha’s auto accompaniment (Style playback) know-how into a single unified format.
Setting the SFF related parameters determines how the original notes are converted to the actual sounded
notes based on the chord you specify in the Chord area of the keyboard. The conversion flow is shown below.
The parameters shown above can be set in the Parameter page.
NOTE The parameters you can set here are compatible with the SFF GE format. This is why the Style files created on this instrument can be played back only on
instruments which are compatible with SFF GE.

1 Source Root/Chord (Play Root/Chord)
IMPORTANT
The parameters here should be set before recording. If you change the settings after recording, the appropriate note conversion cannot
be done even when you specify various chord types.
Before recording, you should set these parameters which determine what key is used for playing when you
record the Source Pattern to the Bass, Chord, Pad or Phrase channel. If you set this to “Fm7,” your
recorded original phrase (Source Pattern) will be triggered by specifying Fm7 during normal performance.
CM7 (Source Chord Root = C and Source Chord Type = M7) is set by default. Depending on the settings
here, the playable notes (chord notes and recommended scale notes) will differ. For details, see below.
NOTE When the parameters for the selected channel are set to NTR: Fixed, NTT: Bypass, and Bass: Off, the parameters here are changed to Play Root instead of
Source Root. In this case, you can hear the resulting sound while you change the Chord Root/Type during playback.
NOTE The settings here are not applied when NTR is set to Gtr.
2 NTR/NTT
The settings here determine how the original notes of the Source Pattern are converted in response to the
Chord change during normal performance.
NOTE Since the Rhythm channels should not be affected by chord changes, make sure that the parameters are set to NTR: Fixed, NTT: Bypass, and Bass: Off. In
this case, Source Root is changed to Play Root.
[3 ] NTR (Note Trans-
position Rule)
Determines the relative position of the root note in the chord, when converted
from the Source Pattern in response to chord changes. Refer to the list below.
[4 ]–
[6 ]
NTT (Note Trans-
position Table)
Sets the note transposition table for the source pattern. Refer to the list below.
[7 ] Bass The channel for which this is set to On will be played back by the bass root
note, when the on-bass chord is recognized by the instrument. When NTR is
set to Gtr and this parameter is set to On, only the note which is assigned to
bass will be played back by the bass root note.

NTR (Note Transposition Rule)
NTT (Note Transposition Table)
When NTR is set to Trans or Fixed
Trans
(Root Transpose)
When the root note is transposed, the interval between notes
is maintained. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the
key of C become F3, A3 and C4 when they are transposed
to F. Use this setting for channels that contain melody lines.
Fixed
(Root Fixed)
The note is kept as close as possible to the previous note
range. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C
become C3, F3 and A3 when they are transposed to F. Use
this setting for channels that contain chord parts.
Gtr
(Guitar)
This is exclusively for transposing guitar accompaniment. Notes are transposed to
approximate the chords played with natural guitar fingering.
Bypass When NTR is set to Fixed, the transposition table used does not do any note conver-
sion. When NTR is set to Trans, the table used only converts the notes by maintaining
the pitch relationship between notes.
Melody Suitable for melody line transposition. Use this for melody channels such as Phrase 1
and Phrase 2.
Chord Suitable for chordal parts transposition. Use this for the Chord 1 and Chord 2 channels,
especially when they contain piano or guitar-like chordal parts.
Melodic Minor When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the
third interval in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a
major chord, the minor third interval is raised by a semitone. Other notes are not
changed. Use this for melody channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor
chords, such as Intros and Endings.
Melodic Minor
5th
In addition to the Melodic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished
chords affect the 5th note of the Source Pattern.
Harmonic Minor When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the
third and sixth intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a
minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted sixth intervals are raised by a semi-
tone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which
respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings.
Harmonic Minor
5th
In addition to the Harmonic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished
chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.
Natural Minor When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the
third, sixth and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes
from a minor to a major chord, the minor third, flatted sixth and flatted seventh inter-
vals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels
of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords such as in Intros and Endings.
Natural Minor
5th
In addition to the Natural Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished
chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.
Dorian When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the
third and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a
minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted seventh intervals are raised by a
semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which

These settings determine whether notes stop sounding or not and how they change pitch in response to
chord changes. Use the [4 ]–[7 ] (RTR) buttons to select one of the following types.
All-Purpose This table covers both stroke- and arpeggio-played sounds.
Stroke Suitable for strumming sounds of the guitar. Some notes may sound as if they are
muted—this is the normal condition when chords are played on guitar by strum-
ming.
Arpeggio Suitable for arpeggio-played sound of the guitar, resulting in beautiful four-note
arpeggio sounds.
[4 ]/
[5 ]
High Key This sets the highest key (upper octave limit) of the note transposition for
the chord root change. Any notes calculated to be higher than the highest
key are transposed down to the next lowest octave. This setting is avail-
able only when the NTR parameter (page 38) is set to Root Trans.
[6 ] Note Limit Low These set the note range (highest and lowest notes) for Voices recorded to
the Style channels. By judicious setting of this range, you can ensure that
the Voices sound as realistic as possible—in other words, that no notes
outside the natural range are sounded (e.g., high bass sounds or low pic-
colo sounds).
[7 ] Note Limit High
Stop The notes stop sounding.
Pitch Shift The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the type of the
new chord.
Pitch Shift to Root The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the root of the
new chord. However, the octave of the new note remains the same.
Retrigger The note is retriggered with a new attack at a new pitch corresponding to the
next chord.
Retrigger to Root The note is retriggered with a new attack at the root note of the next chord.
However, the octave of the new note remains the same.

Quantize
The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a channel. For example, if you
record the musical phrase shown below, you may not play it with absolute precision, and your
performance may have been slightly ahead of or behind the precise timing. Quantize is a convenient way
of correcting for this.
[1 ]/
[2 ]
Channel Determines which MIDI channel in the Song data is to be quantized.
[3 ]–
[5 ]
Size Selects the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should set
the Quantize size to the shortest note value in the channel. For example, if
eighth notes are the shortest in the channel, you should use eighth note as
the Quantize size.
The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally
convenient, since they allow you to quantize two different note values at
the same time. For example, when the straight eighth notes and eighth-
note triplets are contained in the same channel, if you quantize by the
straight eighth notes, all notes in the channel are quantized to straight
eighth notes—completely eliminating any triplet feel. However, if you use
the eighth note + eighth note triplet setting, both the straight and triplet
notes will be quantized correctly.

3Band EQ EQ (Equalizer) is a processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands
which can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency response. The
instrument features a three-band (Low, Mid and High) digital equalizer function for
the microphone sound. For each of three bands, you can adjust the center frequency
(Hz) and level (dB) via the corresponding knobs on the display.
Noise Gate This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a
specified level. This effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal
(vocal, etc.) to pass.
SW (Switch) Turns the Noise Gate on or off.
TH. (Threshold) Adjusts the input level above which the gate begins to open.
Compressor This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone
exceeds a specified level. This is especially useful for smoothing out vocals that have
widely varying dynamics. It effectively “compresses” the signal, making soft parts
louder and loud parts softer.
SW (Switch) Turns Compressor on or off.
TH. (Threshold) Adjusts the input level above which compression begins to be
applied.
Ratio Adjusts the compression ratio. Higher ratios result in a more
compressed sound, with a reduced dynamic range.
Output Adjusts the final output level.

sound, make sure to select DSP 5 as an effect block, and Mic as a part.
To save the settings you’ve made on the Mixer page of the Mic Setting display, register them to Registration
Memory.
Talk Mixing Lets you make settings for talking or making announcements between songs during a
performance.
Reduction Level Determines the amount of reduction to be applied to the overall
sound (excepting the microphone input)—allowing you to effec-
tively adjust the balance between your voice and the overall
instrument sound.
Pan Determines the stereo pan position of the microphone sound.
Effect Depth Determines the depth of the Reverb or Chorus effects applied to
the microphone sound.
Volume Determines the output volume of the microphone sound.

Compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and compress the dynamics (softness/loudness) of an audio
signal. For signals that vary widely in dynamics, such as vocals and guitar parts, it “squeezes” the dynamic
range, effectively making soft sounds louder and loud sounds softer. When used with gain to boost the overall
level, this creates a more powerful, more consistently high-level sound.
This instrument features the Master Compressor applied to the entire sound of this instrument. Although the
preset Master Compressor settings are provided, you can create and save your original Master Compressor by
adjusting the related parameters.
NOTE Master Compressor cannot be applied to playback of audio received via the USB Audio Player function and the Audio Input Sounds.

• Punchy: Highly exaggerated Compressor settings. This is good for enhancing rock music.
• Electronic: Compressor settings in which the electronic dance music’s characteristics are optimally
brought out.

notes played on the keyboard have a longer sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately
stops (damps) any sustained notes. You can turn this pedal function on or off for each
keyboard part on this display. The Half Pedal Point parameter allows you to specify
how far down you should press on the pedal until the damper effect starts working.
Sostenuto Allows you to use a pedal to control the Sostenuto effect. If you play a note or chord
on the keyboard and press the pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain
as long as the pedal is held. However, all subsequent notes will not sustain. This
makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played stac-
cato. You can turn this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part on this display.
Soft Allows you to use a pedal to control the Soft effect. Pressing this pedal reduces the
volume and changes the timbre of the notes you play. This is effective only for cer-
tain appropriate Voices. You can turn this pedal function on or off for each keyboard
part on this display. The Half Pedal Point parameter allows you to specify how far
down you should press on the pedal until the soft effect starts working.

[1 ]–[8 ] buttons.
1 Local Control
Master KBD In this setting, the instrument functions as a “master” keyboard, playing and con-
trolling one or more connected tone generators or other devices (such as a computer/
sequencer).
Song All transmit channels are set to correspond to Song channels 1–16. This is used to
play Song data with an external tone generator and to record Song data to an external
sequencer.
Clock Ext. Playback or recording (Song, Style, etc.) synchronizes with an external MIDI clock
instead of the instrument’s internal clock. This template should be used when you
wish to set the tempo on the MIDI device connected to the instrument.
MIDI Accord1 MIDI accordions allow you to transmit MIDI data and play connected tone generators
from the keyboard and bass/chord buttons of the accordion. This template lets you
play melodies from the keyboard and control Style playback on the instrument with
the left-hand buttons.
MIDI Accord2 Basically the same as MIDI Accord 1 above, with the exception that the chord/bass
notes you play with your left hand on the MIDI Accordion are recognized also as
MIDI note events.
MIDI Pedal1 MIDI pedal units allow you play connected tone generators with your feet (especially
convenient for playing single note bass parts). This template lets you play/control the
chord root in Style playback with a MIDI pedal unit.
MIDI Pedal2 This template lets you play the bass part for Style playback by using a MIDI pedal
unit.
MIDI OFF No MIDI signals are sent or received.
[1 ] –

Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to On, the key-
board of the instrument controls its own (local) internal tone generator, allowing the internal
Voices to be played directly from the keyboard. If you set Local Control to Off, the keyboard
and controllers are internally disconnected from the instrument’s tone generator section so
that no sound is output when you play the keyboard or use the controllers. For example, this
allows you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play the instrument’s internal Voices, and
use the instrument keyboard to record notes to the external sequencer and/or play an external
tone generator.

Clock Determines whether the instrument is controlled by its own internal clock
or a MIDI clock signal received from an external device. Internal is the
normal Clock setting when the instrument is being used alone or as a mas-
ter keyboard to control external devices. If you are using the instrument
with an external sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and
you want to synchronize it to that device, set this parameter to the appro-
priate setting: USB1, USB2 or Wireless LAN. In this case, make sure that
the external device is connected properly (e.g., to the instrument’s [USB
TO HOST] terminal), and that it is properly transmitting a MIDI clock
signal. When this is set for control by an external device (USB1, USB2, or
Wireless LAN), the tempo is indicated as “Ext.” in the Tempo pop-up dis-
play.
NOTE If the Clock is set other than Internal, the Style, Song, Metronome and Tempo cannot be controlled

Bass Note Settings for Style Playback via MIDI Receive
The explanations here apply to the On Bass Note page in step 4 on page 79. These settings let you determine
the bass note for Style playback, based on the note messages received via MIDI. The note on/off messages
received at the channel(s) set to On are recognized as the bass note of the chord of Style playback. The bass
note will be detected regardless of the [ACMP] button or split point settings. When several channels are
simultaneously set to On, the bass note is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels.
1 Use the Cursor buttons [][] to select the target.
2 Use the [1 ]–[8 ] buttons to set the desired channel to On or Off.
Chord Type Settings for Style Playback via MIDI Receive
The explanations here apply to the Chord Detect page in step 4 on page 79. This page lets you select the
MIDI channels over which the MIDI data from the external device will be used to detect the Chord Type for
Style playback. The note on/off messages received at the channel(s) set to On are recognized as the notes for
detecting chords in Style playback. The chords to be detected depend on the fingering type. The chord types
will be detected regardless of the [ACMP] button or split point settings. When several channels are
simultaneously set to On, the chord type is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels.
The operation procedure is basically the same as that of the On Bass Note page above.

IAC Turns on or off the IAC (Intelligent Acoustic Control). With this function,
the sound quality of this instrument is automatically adjusted and controlled
according to the overall volume. Even when the volume is low, this lets you
hear both low sounds and high sounds clearly. IAC is effective only from
the sound output of the instrument speakers.
[7 ] IAC Depth Adjusts the depth of the IAC. The higher the value, the more clearly that
low and high sounds are heard at lower volume levels.

Style Tempo Determines whether the default tempo of each preset Style is shown or hid-
den above the Style name in the Style Selection display.

Voice Number Determines whether the Voice bank and number are shown or hidden in the
Voice Selection display. Displaying these is helpful when you want to check
which bank select MSB/LSB values and program change number you need
to specify when selecting the Voice from an external MIDI device.
NOTE The numbers displayed here start from “1.” Accordingly the actual MIDI program change numbers are one
lower, since that number system starts from “0.”
