THE SOUNDS
The keyboard features 131 sounds divided into 17 families (e.g. 025-032 GUITAR).
They are selected when the SOUND button is on by entering a three digit number between 001 and 131 of the SOUNDS list
you will find at the end of the Instructions Manual.
Example: for NYLON GUITAR type in number 025 (0, 2, 5with the SELECT keyboard.)
If the display shows “Disable”, this means an incorrect number has been typed in.
Sounds can be selected also by using the SELECT “+ / –” buttons.
By entering code 29 you will enable the “SELECT LOWER” function, the keyboard will be split and
you will also be able to choose different sounds for the left hand; enter the code for the chosen
sound.
IMPORTANT:With some sounds you might notice a slight difference of volume or sound quality when playing
them in different areas of the keyboard.This is an inevitable consequence of multiple sampling and not a technical problem.
THE DUAL
With the DUAL control, you can mix two sounds and create thousands of combi-
nations.
To mix press DUAL; the display shows “SoundMix1”; select a sound and press the
SOUND button: the display shows “SoundMix2”; select the second sound that
will be mixed with the first one.
To select other sounds, keep using the SOUND button.
To return to just one sound, press the DUAL button again: the display shows
“Sound”. To change the volume of the two sounds, to use the “+/–“ buttons of
VOLUME SECTION and to select the first or second sound, keep SOUND
button pressed.
THE TOUCH
By pressing the TOUCH button, you will enable and disable the keyboard’s sensiti-
vity to touch (dynamics).
THE TRANSPOSER
The TRANSPOSER +/– controls shift the whole keyboard tonality by +/– 12
semitones.
By pressing one of the two buttons, the display temporarily shows the current
value.
The TRANSPOSER variation is always indicated on the display by the “< Tr “ or “
Tr > “ signs. By simultaneously pressing the “+/–“ buttons of TRANSPOSER, you will
return to the standard 00 value.
THE PIANO
With the PIANO button, the PIANO sound and the chord identifier will be immediately enabled on the whole
keyboard.

THE METRONOME
The metronome helps you to learn the music, giving the beat during musical exercises and simulating the traditional time-marking
instrument.
It can be turned on and off with the METRONOME button.To change the tempo, use the “TEMPO +/–“ buttons.To set the volu-
me, press the STYLE or SONG button and use the VOLUME SECTION +/– button.
Chart of general BEATS for the METRONOME.
THE KEYBOARD
It has 61 professional pace keys and can be used in the following ways:
1.When simply turned on, one single sound is enabled over the whole keyboard, together with the chord identi-
fier.
2. By pressing the FULL KEYB/SPLIT button, the keyboard will be divided into two sections: one dedicated to
accompaniment to form chords (keys on the left) and the other one to play the melody (keys on the right).
It is possible to set the point where the keyboard will be divided into two modes:
a. by entering 24, the display indicates “Split 19”; this
means that the left part of the keyboard goes from the
first to the nineteenth key.
b. by entering 25, the display indicates “Split 24”; this
means that the left part of the keyboard goes from the
first to the twenty-fourth key.
The keyboard on the display shows the division point
with an arrow.
Chords can be played in the FREE CHORD mode, which means in the traditional way, or in the EASY CHORD mode, which
means in the simplified mode (see the EASY CHORD paragraph).
THE BENDING AND MODULATION CONTROLS
To the left of the keyboard there are three keys, two BEND (Pitch Bending) and one MODUL (Modulation).
When playing a note and pressing one of the two BEND keys you will hear a variation in the frequency of
the note.This simulates the “pulling” of a string on an instrument such as the guitar.The “Modulation” control
modulates the frequency of the sound.
THE SOUNDS OF THE LEFT PART OR LOWER
The sounds for the ACCOMPANIMENT, when the rhythm is not playing, can be selected by entering 29 (SELECT LOWER) and
the corresponding number in the SOUNDS list.
To set the volume of the accompaniment section,use the VOLUME SECTION
+/–buttons;
The display shows “Lower Vol” and the value of the volume.
By keeping the button pressed, the variation will continue.
To return to the standard volume, simultaneously press the +and –buttons of
the VOLUME SECTION.

keyboard as shown in the picture.
The numbers on the strip correspond to the keys that
have to be pressed in order to play the tune of the
simplified scores contained in the enclosed "FARFISA
Music Book".
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 tran-
smitted.
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

What is “MIDI”
The initials MIDI are an abbreviation for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface" and represent a standard for the transmis-
sion of data via cable between a musical instrument (usually a keyboard) and a Personal Computer (or another musical
instrument).
The General MIDI System (General Midi)
This keyboard adopts the MIDI General System (General Midi): a standard that allows to receive or send MIDI data
(to a personal computer or to another keyboard) without having problems of compatibility deriving from the different
brands of the product.The general MIDI system specifies factors like the numeration of sounds, the available MIDI
channels etc.
The keyboard is provided with MIDI IN and OUT sockets which enable the user to connect it to a Personal Computer
using a cable (not supplied).This can be connected as indicated in the figure: Connect the IN and OUT plugs to the key-
board and the connector to the JOYSTICK socket (games socket) of the Personal Computer.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Personal Computer with Windows 95/98 operative system,Windows 2000/Millennium,Windows XP equipped
with a GAMES portal. It is indicated also as the JOYSTICK portal.
PROCEDURE
Connect the cable to the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT portals of the keyboar. Follow the instructions on the connec-
tors.
Connect the connector to the JOYSTICK portal (as in the diagram shown below).This operation can be carried out even
with the computer switched on.

board. N.B.: even if the procedure is very simple, it can become difficult in the presence of particular computer configu-
rations. In this case it is advisable to contact a computer technician who will easily be able to resolve the problem.
SYSTEM FUNCTION TEST
On the computer’s hard disk, search for a MIDI file (*.mid).
Double-click on the file name. Now the window of theWINDOWS Media Player will
appear.The keyboard will begin to play.
Note: If a programme was installed on the computer that uses the Midi files, it is pro-
bable that the operation will activate that programme.
In such a case, you can try out the system by manually activating the Media Player by
loading it among the programmes.
You can also use the programme that was activated automatically. But in this case the
use of the external MIDI port must be reconfigured.
Other connection options
If the computer is not provided with the JOYSTICK socket but with MIDI IN and MIDI OUT sockets, it is an option to purcha-
se two standard MIDI cables from your local personal computer centre or electrical outlet.
For computers provided with sockets RS -422 / USB, etc. buy the most suitable cables and MIDI interface from the your
local personal computer centre or electrical outlet.
Possible malfunctions
If the instrument does not play:
• Check whether the Media Player programme is running; the bar should be moving.
• Make sure that the MIDI properties in the multimedia section are configured correctly.
• Make sure the cable is properly connected to the instrument (the writing MIDI In and MIDI Out on the labels placed
on the plugs must be the same as the one on the instrument).
• If another programme is active, check if the external Midi port was reconfigured.
Usable Programmes
In addition to WINDOWS Media Player, many other computer programmes are commercially available. They offer the
possibility to expand the range of functions of the keyboard. Some allow the registration of pieces in Midi format. In other
cases, it is possible to register on the computer what is being played on the keyboard. Later, the piece can be replayed,
and its musical score can be visualised or printed. It is also possible to correct errors, change sounds, etc.
Many of these software programmes are also available on the Internet in Demo or Shareware format.
How to find the Midi Files
On the Internet or in music stores, countless Midi Files can be found for modern or classical music of all kinds.They can
be played with the keyboard, or used as an orchestral base to play a melody.
Note:The Midi Files available on the Internet have sometimes been made for specific instruments. Some are Midi devises
that do not respect the MIDI standard, others have their own specific additional functions. In such cases, it is possible that
the musical piece will not be played with the same sounds and effects that are supposed to be used. In any event, the
keyboard respects the GM standard, and has many commonly used functions that can be seen on the map on the instru-
ment’s manual.
