Song Sequencer
The Song Sequencer provides 16 tracks
plus one system track that supports the recording of up to five songs and a total
of approximately 12,000 notes. Each individual musical instrument part can be
recorded to a different track for real multi-track recording capabilities. A
full selection of editing tools includes event insert, event delete, event copy,
quantize, a locator feature for selecting the range of notes to be edited, and
more. A step recording function also lets you input notes by specifying the
length and pitch. Completed recordings can be converted to SMF (Standard MIDI
File) format and stored on an SD memory card.
32-channel Mixer
Button operation can be used for
individual simultaneous adjustment of volume, pan, reverb send, and other
parameters. Sound input from an external source via the MIC IN terminal can
also be adjusted as desired.
Rhythm Editor
Rhythm Editor lets you combine
instrument parts from multiple built-in rhythms, turn individual instrument
parts on or off, and adjust volume, pan, reverb, and other parameters to create
your own original rhythms. You can even create original rhythms for NORMAL,
FILL IN, INTRO, and ENDING accompaniment patterns.
You can store up to 10 original
rhythms in memory for instant recall whenever you need them.
Multiple Digital Effects
Built-in effects include reverb (10
types), chorus (5 types), and DSP (100 types using 46 effect types including
delay, phaser, flanger, wah, rotary, and more). You can apply different effects
to a tone to create exactly the sound you want. By adjusting the parameters of the
DSP effect types, you can create original DSP effects and store up to 100
original types in memory for later recall.
*DSP and chorus cannot be used
simultaneously.
Equalizer

frequency characteristics, including “Bright” for a lively sound emphasizing the
treble range and “Powerful” with a stress on volume.
Registration
A simple operation saves the current
setup, including tone, rhythm, and other settings for instant recall when you
need them.*You even can save tones to which effector effects are being applied.
Recalling a registration instantly changes the digital keyboard's setup, making
this a great tool for live stage performances.

attack time, release time, cut-off, vibrato, reverb, chorus, DSP, and other

other data can be saved to an SD or SDHC memory card. SMF (Standard MIDI File)
data stored on an SD or SDHC memory card can be played back on the digital
keyboard.
Input/Output Terminals
Different input/output terminals are
provided to meet a variety of different needs: line out terminals (L/MONO, R)
for connection of the mixer of a stage PA system or other devices, a MIC IN
terminal for connection of a musical instrument or microphone, an audio in
terminal (AUDIO IN) for audio device input that can be output through the
speakers, and more.

and MIDI send/receive connection. It also enables quick and simple transfer of
song sequencer, pattern sequencer, tone editor, and other data, as well as audio
data recorded to an SD memory card from an audio device between the digital
keyboard and a computer. The download of a special Data Manager 6.1 application is
required in order to transfer data to a computer.*
