direct sound, a reected ambient room sound or anything in-between. Never before has there been a more powerful personal
backing band.

Major Functions
This section briey explains the main functions of Genos2, to help you better understand the overall capabilities of the
instrument.
Styles—Rhythm and Auto Accompaniment—
Genos2 features a variety of accompaniment and rhythmic backing patterns (called “Styles”) in a variety of dierent musical
genres including pop, jazz, and many others. Styles feature sophisticated Auto Accompaniment patterns, letting you produce
automatic accompaniment playback simply by playing chords with your left hand. This lets you automatically recreate the sound
of a full band or orchestra—even if you’re playing by yourself.
Voices—The individual sounds of Genos2—
Genos2 features a wide variety of exceptionally realistic instrumental Voices, including piano, guitar, strings, brass, wind
instruments and more. The Voices can be played manually on the keyboard, and they are also used by the Styles, MIDI Songs, and
Multi Pads.
Keyboard Parts
There are four keyboard parts for your manual performance: LEFT, RIGHT 1, 2 and 3. Each part has one Voice. You can
combine these parts by using the PART ON/OFF buttons to create luscious instrument textures and convenient performance
combinations. You can change the keyboard range of the Parts by changing the Split Point.
Multi Pads—Adding musical phrases to your performance—
The Multi Pads can be used to play a number of short pre-recorded rhythmic and melodic sequences that can be used to add
impact and variety to your keyboard performances. Multi Pads are grouped in Banks of four phrases each. Genos2 features a
variety of Multi Pad Banks in a variety of dierent musical genres. Moreover, the Audio Link Multi Pad function allows you to
create unique, new pad content with your own audio (WAV) data for playing back during your performance.
Songs—Playing back MIDI/audio les—
For Genos2, the term “Song” refers to MIDI or audio data, such as preset songs, commercially available les, etc. Not only can you
play back a Song and listen to it, but you can also play the keyboard along with Song playback.
Song playback features two modes: Dual Player mode and Song List mode.
• Dual Player: Plays back two Audio Songs (or one Audio Song and one MIDI Song) simultaneously and makes a smooth
transition between the two.
• Song List: Plays back Songs continuously according to a previously created Song List.
Mic Eects—Adding harmony vocals and synth vocoder eects to your singing—
By connecting a microphone to the MIC [INPUT] jack (either XLR or standard 1/4" phone plug connectors), you can enjoy singing
along with your keyboard performance or with Song playback. The instrument outputs your vocals through the connected
speaker system.
Moreover, you can automatically apply various Vocal Harmony eects to your voice as you sing, or you can use the Synth Vocoder
feature to graft the unique characteristics of your voice onto synthesizer and other sounds.

Style Characteristics
The particular type of Style is indicated the upper left of the Style name in the Style Selection display. The dening
characteristics of these Styles and their performance advantages are described below.
• Session: These Styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by mixing in original chord types and changes,
as well as special ris with chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been programmed 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 inappropriate or unexpected accompaniment.
• Free Play: These Styles are characterized by rubato performance. You can perform freely with remarkably expressive
accompaniment, without being constrained by a strict tempo.
For the Preset Style List, refer to the Data List on the website.
A Style generally consists of eight parts (channels): rhythm, bass, etc. You can add variations and change the feeling of a Style by
selectively turning channels on/o or by changing the Voices (page92).
In some particular Styles, some sections consist of only rhythm parts to showcase their musical characteristics. For details, refer to
the Data List on the website.
Style File Compatibility
This instrument uses the SFF GE le format (page10) and can play back existing SFF les; however, they will be saved in the
SFF GE format when the le is saved (or loaded) in this instrument. Keep in mind that the saved le can only be played back on
instruments that are compatible with the SFF GE format.

By changing the Chord Fingering type, you can automatically produce appropriate accompaniment even if you don’t press all of
the notes which comprise a chord. Chord ngering type can be changed via the Split Point/Fingering window: [MENU] à [Split &
Fingering].
The following types can be selected, for example.
Single Finger
This method lets you easily play chords in the accompaniment range of the keyboard using only one, two or three ngers.
Fingered
This lets you nger your own chords on the chord section of the keyboard, while the instrument
supplies appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass, and chord accompaniment in the selected
Style. The Fingered type recognizes the various chord types which are listed on the Data List
on the website (page10), and can be looked up using the Chord Tutor function called up via
[MENU] à [Chord Tutor].
AI Full Keyboard
This lets you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands—like conventional playing of a piano—and
still have appropriate accompaniment. You don’t have to worry about specic ways to play/indicate the chords. (Depending on
the song arrangement, AI Full Keyboard may not always produce appropriate accompaniment.)
For other types, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page10).
NOTE
In the case of a specic ngering type (Fingered, Fingered On Bass, AI Fingered), you can create a state in which no chord is input by entering a special
chord named “Cancel.” This is called as “Chord Cancel.” For more information on entering chords including “Cancel,” refer to the “Chord Types Recognized

Using Ensemble Voices
These are special settings of the keyboard parts that feature multiple Voices, used in realistic ensemble combinations, such
as brass section and string quartet. Up to four special parts or instruments are provided within a single Voice. But rather than
just being a combination, the parts are dynamically assigned to the notes, and are distributed among the intervals you play in
exceptionally natural, musical ways—as if four dierent players were actually playing the parts live. Moreover, the discrepancy
between each instrument—the pitch, timing, etc—can be controlled and “humanized,” making the overall sound amazingly
authentic and expressive.
In this mode, the Keyboard parts (L, R1, R2 and R3) are changed into special Ensemble Parts 1–4 respectively. Since all the
Ensemble Parts are handled as Right parts, the Left hand part is not available in this mode, although the Auto Accompaniment
can be turned on and Styles can be played with the left hand.
Entering the Ensemble Voice mode
NOTICE
Entering the Ensemble Voice mode erases any Voice combination settings (L, R1, R2 and R3) you have made.
Important panel settings should be memorized to Registration Memory (page96).

[ART. 1]/[ART. 2]/[ART. 3] buttons in this instrument, you can add those expressive nuances by
simply pressing a single button.
Automatic articulation eects of Super Articulation Voices
S.Art Voices
The S.Art Voices provide many benets with great playability and expressive real-time control.
Example: Saxophone Voice
If you play a C note and then an adjacent D in a very legato way, you will hear the note change seamlessly, as though a
saxophone player played it in a single breath.
Example: Concert Guitar Voice
If you play a C note and then the E just above in a very legato but rm way, the pitch slides up from C to E.
S.Art2 Voices
Some of the wind instrument and strings Voices feature a special technology called AEM, which
utilizes detailed samples of special expressive techniques used on those specic instruments—to
bend or slide into notes, to “join” dierent notes together, or to add expressive nuances at the
end of a note, etc. You can add these articulations by playing legato or non-legato, or jumping
between notes in octave intervals or greater.
Example: Clarinet Voice
If you hold a C note and play the Bb above, you’ll hear a glissando up to the Bb. Some “note o”
eects are also produced automatically when you hold a note for over a certain time.
NOTE
The applied articulation eect
diers depending on the
selected Voice. For details, refer
to the Data List on the website.
NOTE
AEM (Articulation Element
Modeling) is a technology
that simulates the sound of
acoustic instruments naturally
by smoothly joining the most
appropriate sound samples
selected from the data base in
real time during performance.
NOTE
Each S.Art2 Voice has its own
default vibrato setting, so
that when you select a S.Art2
Voice, the appropriate vibrato
is applied. You can adjust the
vibrato by moving up or down
the Joystick.
72 Genos2 Owner’s Manual
Adding articulation eects by the [ART. 1]–[ART. 3] buttons
When you select a Super Articulation Voice, the [ART. 1]/[ART. 2]/[ART. 3] buttons may light in blue. Pressing a lit button adds the
eect (buttons not lit have no eect).
Below are three examples of Super Articulation Eects by the buttons.
Example 1
Pressing the available [ART] button triggers dierent playing eects and techniques, separate from your keyboard playing.
For example, pressing the [ART] button for a S.Art saxophone Voice can produce breath noise or key noise, while doing the same
for a S.Art guitar Voice can produce fret noise or body-tapping sound. You can eectively intersperse these into the notes as you
play.
While the articulation eect sounds, the button lights in red.
Example 2
Playing the keyboard while holding down the available [ART] button changes the nature of the Voice.
For example, in the case of the NylonGuitar SW Voice in A.GUITAR category, holding down the [ART. 1] button lets you play
harmonics for the guitar Voice. Releasing the button returns the Voice to normal.
The button lights in red while it is being held down.
Example 3
When an S.Art2 Voice is selected, pressing the available [ART] button and playing/releasing a note enables you to add articulation
eects, such as bend up/down, glissando up/down, brass fall, etc.
When you press the available [ART] button, it will ash in red until the eect is nished playing. You can cancel by pressing the
button again while it ashes. Immediately after you press/release the note and articulation eect sounds, the button lights in red.

Example 3 eects can also be used as those the same manner as Example 2.
Holding an [ART] button (the button ashes in red) and playing/releasing a note enables you to
add the articulation eect several times in succession.
When Super Articulation Voices are Selected for Multiple Parts
When you select S.Art/S.Art2 Voices for two or more keyboard parts, using an [ART] button simultaneously aects all parts for
which S.Art/S.Art2 Voices are selected.
When an Example 3 eect is assigned to both the Right and Left parts and an [ART] button ashes in red (standby status),
playing only one part (for example, the Right 1 part) adds an articulation eect to only that part. Since the other part (Left part)
is kept in standby status, the button continues ashing. To cancel the standby status, you need to play the keyboard in the Left
part range. (Pressing the ashing button does not cancel standby status in this case, because this can cancel the standby of the
Left part, but turns the Right part to standby again.)
NOTE
Keeping with the realistic
response of the original
instruments, the eects
applied vary depending on the
keyboard range you are playing
in.

This section explains how to set up for your singing performance with Songs, using Song selection and Vocal Harmony settings.
As is the case in Chapter 1, the settings made in this section can be collectively stored in the Registration Memory as one song
setting (page96).
Setting Up Song Playback
Songs—MIDI Song and Audio Song
For Genos2, “Song” refers to MIDI or audio data which include preset songs, commercially available music les, etc. Not only can
you playback a song and listen to it, but you can also play the keyboard or sing along with Song playback.
There are two kinds of Songs that can be recorded and played back on this instrument: MIDI Songs and Audio Songs.
MIDI Song
A MIDI Song is comprised of your keyboard performance information and is not a recording of the actual sound itself. The
performance information refers to which keys are played, at what timing, and at what strength—just as in a musical score. Based
on the recorded performance information, the tone generator (of Genos2, etc.) outputs the corresponding sound. Since MIDI
Song data contains the information such as keyboard part and Voice, you can play more eectively by viewing the score, turning
the particular part on or o, or changing Voices.
Audio Song
An Audio Song is a recording of the performed sound itself. This data is recorded in the same way as that used in recording
cassette tapes, or with voice recorders, etc. Audio Songs can be played back on portable music players and many other devices,
making it easy for you to let others hear what you have played.
If you want to play back a Song in a USB ash drive, connect the USB ash drive containing Song
data to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal beforehand.
Song File Compatibility
You can play back the following types of Songs.
• Preset Songs (MIDI Songs)
• Your own recorded Songs (for instructions on recording, see page94)
• Commercially available Songs: MIDI les in SMF (Standard MIDI File) format, Audio les in WAV or MP3 format.
WAV: 44.1 kHz sample rate, 16 bit resolution, stereo
MP3: MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3: 44.1/48.0 kHz sample rate, 64–320 kbps bit rate or VBR, mono/stereo
NOTE
• For a general overview of MIDI and how you can eectively use it, refer to “MIDI Basics” on the website (page10).
• For information on compatible MIDI formats, refer to page10.
• The Time Stretch and Pitch Shift functions cannot be used when playing back an MP3 le of 48.0 kHz sample rate.

5-2 Play melodies on the keyboard or play back a Song, and sing into the
microphone.
You’ll notice that you don’t actually have to sing pitched notes. The Vocoder eect
takes the words you say and applies them to the pitch of the instrument sounds.
Using Synth Vocoder
These are special eects that graft the characteristics of your voice onto synthesizer and other sounds, for unusual machine‐like
or robotic eects, as well as unique choir sounds, which you can control with your own singing and playing.

Operation Guide

This instrument allows you to record your performance in two ways: MIDI recording and Audio recording. In addition, each way
of recording features two dierent methods: Quick Recording, which is the easiest, most convenient way to record, and Multi
Recording, which allows you to record each channel or each track independently. In this section, we’ll take a look at MIDI Quick
Recording and Audio Quick Recording.
MIDI Quick Recording
With this method, recorded performances are saved to the instrument or a USB ash drive as an SMF (format0) MIDI le. If you
want to re-record a specic section or change Voices and edit other parameters, use this method. This instrument allows you to
record approximately 3MB per Song.
Audio Quick Recording
With this method, recorded performances are saved to the instrument as an Audio le. Recording is done without designating
the recorded part. Since it is saved in stereo WAV format of normal CD quality resolution (44.1kHz/16-bit), it can be transmitted
to and played on portable music players by using a computer. This instrument allows you to record up to 80minutes per single
recording.
Multi Recording
• MIDI Multi Recording: This lets you create a MIDI Song consisting of 16 channels by recording your performance to each
channel one by one.
• Audio Multi Recording: This lets you record your performance several times to make up the complete song, or record
additional performances to an existing Audio le.
For details on Multi Recording, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.
MIDI Quick Recording
Before recording, make the necessary settings such as Voice/Style selection. As necessary,
connect the USB ash drive to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal. With this type of recording, each
part will be recorded to the following channels.
• Keyboard parts: channels 1–4
• Multi Pad parts: channels 5–8
• Style parts: channels 9–16
1 Call up the MIDI Quick Recording display via [RECORDING] à MIDI [Quick
Recording].
The display appears and a new blank Song is automatically set to record standby status.
NOTE
• Audio data such as the rhythm
channels created via the audio

Connections—Using Your Instrument
with Other Devices
This chapter covers the connections of this instrument to other devices. To see where the connectors are located on the
instrument, refer to pages 18 – 21.
CAUTION
Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn o the power of all components. Also, before turning any components on or
o, make sure to set all volume levels to minimum (0). Otherwise, damage to the components, electrical shock, or even permanent hearing loss may
occur.
Connecting a Microphone ([MIC INPUT] jack)
By connecting a microphone, you can sing along with your keyboard performance or with Song playback, as well as record your
vocal performance to an Audio Song. Make sure you have a dynamic microphone or a condenser microphone.
About Dynamic and Condenser Microphones
• A dynamic microphone reduces vibration noise, making it good for live performances. Power is not required.
• A condenser microphone is mainly used for vocals and other instruments in environments such as a recording studio, since
it is more sensitive to delicate sounds. For this reason, you need to take greater care to minimize vibrations than with a
dynamic microphone. The condenser microphone requires phantom power supply (+48V), which it receives from Genos2 by
connecting with an XLR connector.
Connecting a microphone to the instrument
1 Set the [MASTER VOLUME] knob and the [MIC GAIN] knob to the minimum position.
2 Set the [+48V] switch to o.

About Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a technology for wireless communication between devices within an area of about 10meters (33ft.) employing
the 2.4GHz frequency band.
Handling Bluetooth communications
• The 2.4GHz band used by Bluetooth compatible devices is a radio band shared by many types of equipment. While
Bluetooth compatible devices use a technology minimizing the inuence of other components using the same radio band,
such inuence may reduce the speed or distance of communications and in some cases interrupt communications.
• The speed of signal transfer and the distance at which communication is possible diers according to the distance between
the communicating devices, the presence of obstacles, radio wave conditions and the type of equipment.
• Yamaha does not guarantee all wireless connections between this unit and devices compatible with Bluetooth function.
NOTE
Only one device can be
connected to this instrument
at a time (although up to eight
devices can be paired to this
instrument). When pairing with
the 9th device has succeeded,
pairing data for the device with
the oldest connection date will
be deleted.

A click or pop is heard when the power is turned on or o. This is normal. Electrical current is being applied to the instrument.
The power is automatically turned o. This is normal and due to the Auto Power O function. If necessary, set the
parameter of the Auto Power O function (page24).
Noise is heard from the instrument. Noise may be heard if a mobile phone is used near the instrument or if the
phone is ringing. Turn o the mobile phone, or use it further away from the
instrument.
Noise is heard from the instrument’s speakers or
headphones when using the instrument with an iPhone/
iPad app.
When you use the instrument along with an iPhone/iPad app, we recommend
that you set “Airplane Mode” to “ON” on your iPhone/iPad in order to avoid
noise caused by communication.
In the LCD, there are some specic points that are always lit
or unlit.
These are the result of defective pixels and occasionally occur in TFT-LCDs; they
do not indicate a problem in operation.
There is a slight dierence in sound quality among dierent
notes played on the keyboard.
This is normal and is a result of the instrument’s sampling system.
Some Voices have a looping sound.
Some noise or vibrato is noticeable at higher pitches,
depending upon the Voice.
The overall volume is too low, or, no sound is heard. The master volume may be set too low. Set it to an appropriate level with the
[MASTER VOLUME] dial.
All keyboard parts are set to o. Use the PART ON/OFF [RIGHT 1]/[RIGHT 2]/
[RIGHT 3]/[LEFT] button to turn it on (page48).
The volume of individual parts may be set too low. Raise the volume in the
Mixer display (page90).
Make sure the desired channel is set to on in the Mixer display (page92).
Headphones are connected, disabling the speaker output. Unplug the
headphones.
Connect the footswitch to the appropriate jack.
Check whether the external speaker is connected and the volume control is
adjusted properly (pages 112, 124).
The sound is distorted or noisy. The volume may be turned up too high. Make sure all relevant volume settings
are appropriate.
This may be caused by certain eects or lter resonance settings. Check the
eect or lter settings and change them accordingly in the Mixer display,
referring to the Reference Manual on the website.
Not all simultaneously played notes sound. You are probably exceeding the maximum polyphony of the instrument. When
the maximum polyphony is exceeded, the least important notes (such as soft
notes and notes currently decaying) will stop sounding rst.
The keyboard volume is lower than the Style/ Song
playback volume.
The volume of the keyboard parts may be set too low. Raise the volume in the
Mixer display (page90).
The Main display does not appear even when turning the
power on.
This may occur if a USB ash drive has been installed to the instrument.
Installation of some USB ash drive may result a long interval between turning
the power on and appearance of the Home display. To avoid this, turn the
power on after disconnecting the device.
Some characters of the le/folder name are garbled. The language settings have been changed. Set the appropriate language for
the le/ folder names (page24).
An existing le is not shown. The le extension (.MID, etc.) may have been changed or deleted. Manually
rename the le, adding the appropriate extension, on a computer.
Data les with names of more than 50 characters cannot be handled by the
instrument. Rename the le, reducing the number of characters to 50 or less.
130 Genos2 Owner’s Manual
Style
The Style does not start even when the [START/STOP]
button is pressed.
The Rhythm channel of the selected Style may not contain any data. Turn the
[ACMP] button on and play the left-hand section on the keyboard to sound the
accompaniment part of the Style.
Only the rhythm channel plays. Make sure the Auto Accompaniment function is turned on; press the [ACMP]
button.
Make sure to play keys in the chord range of the keyboard.
Styles in a USB ash drive cannot be selected. If the size of the Style data is large (about 120KB or greater), the Style cannot be
selected because the data is too large to be read by the instrument.
Style playback seems to “skip” when the keyboard is
played.
You are probably exceeding the maximum polyphony of the instrument. The
instrument can play up to 256 notes at the same time—including RIGHT 1/
RIGHT 2/RIGHT 3/LEFT Voices, Style, Song, and Multi Pad notes. When the
maximum polyphony is exceeded, the least important notes (such as soft notes
and notes currently decaying) will stop sounding rst.
Style does not change even when a dierent chord is
played, or the chord is not recognized.
Make sure to play notes on the left-hand section of the keyboard.
Voice
The Voice selected from the Voice Selection display does
not sound.
Check whether the selected part is turned on or not (page48).
A strange “anging” or “doubling” sound occurs. The sound
is slightly dierent each time the keys are played.
The RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 parts are set to “ON,” and both parts are set to play the
same Voice. Turn o the RIGHT 2 part or change the Voice of one of the parts.
The sound is slightly dierent each time the keys are
played.
If you are routing the MIDI OUT on the Genos2 to a sequencer and back to the
MIDI IN, you may need to set Local Control setting to “o” in the System page of
the MIDI display (refer to the Reference Manual on the website).
Some Voices will jump an octave in pitch when played in
the upper or lower registers.
This is normal. Some voices have a pitch limit which, when reached, causes this
type of pitch shift.
Song
MIDI Songs cannot be selected. If the size of the Song data is large (about 3MB or greater), the Song cannot be
selected because the data is too large to be read by the instrument.
In the Dual Player mode, two MIDI Songs cannot be selected for SONG A and
SONG B. Select Audio Song for either side.
MIDI Songs cannot be played back during MIDI recording operation. Stop MIDI
Recording when you want to play back a MIDI Song.
Audio Songs cannot be selected. The le format may not be compatible with the instrument. Compatible formats
are: MP3 and WAV. DRM protected les cannot be played back.
The sound of a song is too low, or a song cannot be heard. Check the position of the Cross Fader. If the Cross Fader is set to the right
position, you cannot hear the song of SONG A side. If this is the case, adjust the
Cross Fader to the center position.
Song playback does not start. The Song has been stopped at the end of the Song data. Return to the
beginning of the Song by pressing the SONG [PREV] button.
The Song playback volume diers depending on the
selected song.
The volume of MIDI Songs and Audio Songs are set independently. Adjust the
volume in the Mixer display (page90) after selecting a Voice.
(MIDI)
The measure number is dierent from that of the score in
the Song Position display, shown by pressing and holding
the [PREV]/[NEXT] buttons.
This happens when playing back music data for which a specic, xed tempo is
set.
(MIDI)
When playing back a Song, some channels do not play.
Playback of these channels may be set to o. Turn playback on for those
channels that are set to o (page92).
(MIDI)
The tempo, beat, measure and music notation are not
displayed correctly.
Some Song data for the instrument has been recorded with special “free
tempo” settings. For such Song data, the tempo, beat, measure and music
notation will not be displayed correctly.
(Audio)
Recorded le is played back at a dierent volume compared
to when it was recorded.
The audio playback volume has been changed. Setting the volume value to 90
plays back the le at the same volume as when it was recorded (page90).

Genos2 Owner’s Manual
Appendix
In the Audio Recording function, an error message appears
and audio cannot be recorded to the internal User drive.
The data on the User drive is fragmented and cannot be used as is. Since there
is no defragmentation function in the Audio Recording, the drive can only be
defragmented by formatting it. To do this, rst back up the data by using the
data backup function (page109), then format the drive, and nally restore the
backup data. Performing this backup/restore operation eectively defragments
the drive, allowing you to use it again.
Playlist
The Registration Memory Bank le in the USB ash drive
cannot be loaded when selecting a Playlist Record, even if
the Bank le exists.
This is due to le path mismatch between the current one and the one at the
time the Record was created. This happens when turning the instrument on/o
with multiple USB ash drives still connected.
To solve this, turn on the instrument with no USB ash drives connected, and
then connect the USB ash drives in the order you want them to be recognized
(in the same order as when you created the Record) after the home display
appears.
Mixer
The sound seems strange or dierent than expected when
changing a rhythm Voice (drum kit, etc.) of the Style or
Song from the Mixer.
When changing the rhythm/percussion Voices (drum kits, etc.) of the Style and
Song from the VOICE parameter, the detailed settings related to the drum voice
are reset, and in some cases you may be unable to restore the original sound.
You can restore the original sound by selecting the same Song or Style again.
Microphone/Vocal Harmony
The microphone input signal cannot be recorded. The microphone input signal cannot be recorded by MIDI recording. Record by
using Audio recording (page95).
Harmony can be heard in addition to the microphone
sound.
Vocal Harmony is set to on. Turn Vocal Harmony o (page89).
The Vocal Harmony eect sounds distorted or out-of-tune. Your vocal microphone may be picking up extraneous sounds, such as the Style
sound from the instrument. In particular, bass sounds can cause mistracking of
the Vocal Harmony. To remedy this:
• Sing as closely to the microphone as possible.
• Use a directional microphone.
• Turn down the Master volume, Style volume, or Song volume control (pages
23, 90).
• Separate the microphone from the external speakers as far as possible.
The Vocal Harmony eect is not applied even when it is
turned on.
In the Chordal mode, Vocal Harmony is added only when chords are detected.
Try one of the following:
• Turn on the [ACMP ON/OFF] button and play chords in the chord section
during Style playback.
• Turn on the Left part and play chords in the left hand section.
• Play back a Song which contains chords.
• Set the “Stop ACMP” parameter to something other than “O” via [MENU] à
[Style Setting] à [Setting]. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the
website.
ASSIGNABLE FOOT PEDAL jacks
The on/o setting of the footswitch connected to the
ASSIGNABLE FOOT PEDAL jack is reversed.
Turn the instrument’s power o, then turn it on again making sure not to press
the footswitch.
AUX IN jacks
Sound input to the AUX IN jacks is interrupted. The output volume of the external device connected to this instrument is
too low. Increase the output volume of the external device. The volume level
reproduced via this instrument can be adjusted by using the [MASTER VOLUME]
dial.
