4th level:The song Chords
At this level the song will be played with the rhythm section and the melody; you will be able to play the accompaniment chords using
the left side of the keyboard.
If you do not play the right chord, the rhythm part will keep on going with the last chord and the melody will stop.
=== How to do it:
After having chosen a song, select the 4th level by pressing the MAESTRO button and then SELECT number 4.
Use the START/STOP control to start and stop the performance. When starting you will always have a metronome counting for
you.
Play the first chord and then the others, following the directions shown on the display.
If you play a wrong chord, the melody will not play, and if you play it at the wrong time, accompaniment and melody will be out of
tempo.
To make the first lessons easier, try slowing the tempo of the song, using the TEMPO + and – buttons.
The display will help by showing the name of the chord, the keys and the notes on the pentagram.
There are two ways of playing chords:
• Free Chord for playing chords in the traditional way.
• Easy Chord for playing simplified chords.
To choose the desired mode, see the “FUNCTIONS” paragraph.

PROBLEM
It does not switch on
No sound when the keyboard is played.
The automatic accompaniment does not play.
No sound is produced when the MIDI data are reproduced
from a computer.
Reproduction on the keyboard produces an unnatural sound
when the keyboard is connected to a computer.
When a mobile phone is used you can hear a noise.
No sound is produced even when the keyboard is played or
reproducing a song.
The sound of the voice changes from note to note.
Any other anomalies.
POSSIBLE CAUSE AND SOLUTION
Problem with the power supply.
Connect the adaptor correctly. Ensure that the battery poles (+/-) are facing the correct
direction, and control that the batteries are charged.
The volume is set at a level that is too low.
Use the VOLUME MASTER keys to raise the volume.
The accompaniment volume is set at 0.
Use the VOLUME SECTION keys to raise the volume.
The MIDI cables are not connected correctly.
Connect the MIDI cables correctly.
The MIDI THRU function of the computer is activated.
Deactivate the MIDI THRU function of the computer.
The use of a mobile phone near to the computer may cause interference.To prevent this
problem, switch the mobile phone off or use it at a distance from the keyboard.
Control that the headphones are not connected to the PHONES/OUTPUT socket of
the rear panel. When headphones are connected to this socket, no sound is trans-
mitted.
The method of sound generation uses multiple recordings (samples) of one instrument
on the whole extension of the keyboard. It is therefore normal that the sound of the voice
differs slightly from note to note.
Switch off and then switch back on after a few seconds
