General Guide
This Digital Piano has two main modes: a MASTER CONTROL mode and a CARD PLAYER mode. Each of these
modes has two sub-modes: a TONE mode and a REGISTRATION mode.
Use the MASTER CONTROL mode when playing the Digital Piano in a stand-alone configuration or when using it
as a MIDI master keyboard.
The setup of the MASTER CONTROL mode can be changed using common parameters (page E-18) and zone
parameters (page E-28).
Use the CARD PLAYER mode to play back a MIDI file. In the CARD PLAYER mode, you can play on the keyboard
along with MIDI file playback. Though the CARD PLAYER mode also supports control of an external MIDI device,
parameter settings cannot be configured.
Note that you should be aware of the Digital Piano’s current mode whenever performing an operation. Note the
following important points.
• The Digital Piano’s initial power on default mode is the MASTER CONTROL
mode’s TONE mode.
• Each press of the  (MASTER CONTROL/CARD PLAYER) button toggles
between the MASTER CONTROL and CARD PLAYER modes. You can
determine the current mode by noting which
 (MASTER CONTROL/CARD
PLAYER) lamp is lit.
• Each press of the  (TONE/REGISTRATION) button toggles between the
TONE and REGISTRATION modes. You can determine the current mode by
noting which
 (TONE/REGISTRATION) lamp is lit.
IMPORTANT!
• All of the operations in this user’s guide start from the initial power on default
state (MASTER CONTROL, TONE mode). If you start experiencing operation
problems, first try returning the Digital Piano to the MASTER CONTROL, TONE
mode. If you do not mind losing currently unsaved settings and data, simply
turn power off and then back on again.
NOTE
• The section title bars in this user’s guide also show the mode (MASTER CONTROL or CARD PLAYER, or both)
where the operations described in each section can be performed.
