operations described in this user’s guide are
performed in the rhythm mode.
You can use the same operations to display mode and
function specific menus. To display a menu, hold down the

• To exit a displayed menu, press the
R-15 (EXIT)
button.
You may need to press the

once in some cases.
• The menu items and operations for specific modes and
functions are described in each section of this user’s guide.
Never try to perform any operation, or insert or remove a
memory card while the message “Please Wait” is on the
display. Wait until the message disappears.
• “Please Wait” indicates that the Digital Keyboard is
performing a data save operation. Turning off the Digital
Keyboard or removing the memory card can cause Digital
Keyboard data to be deleted or become corrupted. It also
can cause the Digital Keyboard to fail to turn on when the
L-1 (POWER)
button is pressed.
• If this happens, refer to “Troubleshooting” (page E-114).
