Operating t e device
The Fazley FKB-180 is an entry-level keyboard with touch-sensitive keys. This makes it
perfect for beginning keyboard players who not only want to learn to play, but want to play
with feeling because each passage can be played differently.
The FKB-180 is equipped with all of the features a beginning keyboardist needs to become
familiar with playing the keyboard. It has a large range of sounds and accompaniments to
choose from in lots of different music styles.
Follow the steps and instructions below to get the best out of the FKB-180.
Preparation
Practical information before playing
- If two people wish to play at the same time without using the built-in speakers, a
headphone splitter (sold separately) should be connected to the headphone socket so that
two pairs of headphones can be used.
- Ensure that the power adapter cable isn’t taut and doesn t get tangled, bent too
excessively or damaged by sharp edges.
Keyboard positioning
It s important to place the FKB-180 on a stable surface at the correct height to ensure a
comfortable playing experience without causing any physical discomfort.
Fazley recommends investing in a good keyboard stand so that playing while standing or
sitting can both be done in comfort.
Placing the keyboard on a table, desk or similar surface may result in an uncomfortable
playing experience that could lead to physical discomfort.
A good playing position can be defined as follows:
- arms should hang freely next to the sides of the body (avoid tension in the shoulders to
create more arm height)
- forearms should be horizontal to the floor
- hands and fingers should be in the same sort of position as they naturally are when your
arms are hanging by your side
- elbows should be pushed forwards slightly towards the keyboard so that they are not
completely parallel to the body
The ideal playing position is very similar to the position that should be used when sitting
behind a desk and working with a computer. A keyboard like the FKB-180 is higher than a
computer keyboard, however, so it’s very important to make the necessary height
adjustments.
This playing position should be used regardless of whether you’re sitting or standing. That’s
The information in this user manual is subject to change at any time without notice.

why it’s a good idea to choose a keyboard stand that’s suitable for both.
If you’re planning on playing sitting down, you should use a keyboard bench or stool that’s
height adjustable so that you can find the perfect playing height. Ideally, it should have
some padding and be flat to help you keep your back straight.
Connecting t e keyboard
The FKB-180 comes with a power adapter that needs to plugged into the keyboard and a
power socket with the correct voltage. Only the adapter that comes with the keyboard
should be used to power it.
Ensure that connected cables are not in a place that could cause someone could trip over
them. Also ensure that cables are not subjected to excessive forces. If necessary, an
extension cable can be used or, alternatively, the keyboard could be placed closer the
available power socket. Cable binders should be used to control any excess cable. Under
no circumstances should knots be tied in cables.
Batteries
The FKB-180 can be powered by 8 D-cell (1.5V) batteries. They need to be inserted
correctly according to the polarity shown in the battery compartment.
Using t e (built-in) speakers or eadp ones
The FKB-180 is equipped with built-in speakers that instantly play back whatever you play
on the keyboard. Whenever you want to practise in silence, however, a set of headphones
can be connected to a socket on the back.
The headphone socket is suitable for virtually all headphones that are designed for listening
to music. In the event that your headphones have a connector of a different size, an
adapter can be purchased. Consult your dealer for advice if you’re unsure about what you
need.
Before you put on your headphones and start playing, check the volume level. Pay
particular attention to the volume level before allowing children to play the keyboard while
wearing headphones. It s best to lower the volume on the keyboard before putting
headphones on and only raising it to the volume necessary to hear what you re playing.
This will greatly reduce the chance of any hearing damage.
The volume can be adjusted using the Volume knob.
It s best to take regular breaks to give your hearing a rest and not play for hours on end.
It s also possible to connect external (active) speakers to the socket on the back for
performance purposes, for instance. Again, it s recommend to lower the volume on the
keyboard (and the speakers) before connecting them. Once connected, the volume levels
on the keyboard and the speakers can be adjusted as required. It s best to ensure that the
output level on the keyboard is not too low (around 50% is recommended), so that you re
not relying entirely on the external speakers to boost the signal. The internal speakers on

the keyboard are not designed to be used continuously at full power and in fact, doing so
may result in a distorted sound and damage to the speakers.
Turing t e keyboard on
The keyboard can be turned on and off using the On/Off button. It should be turned off
whenever you re finished playing.
Using a USB stick wit music
If you want to play along with your own music, you can do so by connecting a USB stick
(max. 32 GB) to the FKB-180 and using the built-in MP3 player. Underneath the display are
controls for playing, pausing and selecting previous or next MP3 song files. Holding down
the Previous song button will lower the volume level, while holding down the Next song
button will raise the volume level as indicated by the text above the buttons.
USB MIDI
The FKB-180 also has USB MIDI functionality that can be used to do things like play MIDI
notes into certain software, or trigger certain sounds in DAW software or plugins. Thanks to
the bi-directional communication, it s also possible to send MIDI signals from a computer to
the FKB-180 enabling sounds to be played.
A USB cable is not included. One can be purchased from your local dealer or a computer
shop.
Sound selection
Selecting a Tone
The FKB-180 has 422 sounds on board that can be selected using the number keys on the
right hand side of the keyboard, or alternatively, scrolled through using the data knob.
Ensure the Tone button has been pressed first by checking the status of the Tone indicator
on the top left of the display (it should be on). Also check the status of the Song indicator (it
should be turned off). The + and - buttons can also be used to scroll through all of the
available sounds.
At the top of the keyboard, the number range of certain groups of sounds are indicated to
help you find the type of sound you re looking for more quickly if you don t know the
number.
Dual Voice function
Activating the Dual Voice function allows two different sounds to be layered on top of one
another. This gives you the sound of two different instruments being played at the same
time.
Selecting the first sound is done as described in the Selecting a Tone section above. After
this, activate Dual Voice mode by pressing the ‘Dual’ button and then a second sound (R2)
can be selected.

Effects and functions
Sustain
Pressing the Sustain button adds a sustain effect to the notes being played. This results in
the sound of the notes lasting longer. Pressing the Sustain button again turns this function
off again. It s also possible to add sustain using a separately-available sustain pedal that
can be connected to the back of the keyboard.
Modulation
Pressing the Modulation button adds an expressive modulation effect (vibrato). This results
in the sound of notes slightly varying in pitch. Pressing the same button again turns it off
again.
Touc (sensitivity)
Pressing the Touch button activates the touch-sensitive mode whereby sounds are played
at different volume levels depending on how hard the player presses the keys. This allows
more expressive playing. Pressing the Touch button again will de-activate the touch-
sensitive mode.
Tempo
The Tempo buttons allow the tempo of the accompaniment rhythms and demo songs to be
adjusted. The default is 100 BPM (beats per minute). Once the tempo has been changed,
these settings will remain until they re changed again or the keyboard is switched off. When
it s switched on again, the default tempo will again be 100 BPM. Press the Tempo + button
once to increase the tempo by 1 BPM and press the Tempo - button once to decrease the
tempo by 1 BPM. Pressing the Tempo + and Tempo - buttons at the same time will reset
the tempo to 100 BPM.
Transpose
Pressing the Transpose + or Transpose - buttons change the keyboard s pitch. The pitch
can changed by up to 12 semitones upwards or downwards. Pressing both Transpose
buttons at the same time will reset the keyboard to its original setting.
Metronome
Pressing the Metronome button activates the FKB-180 s built-in metronome function. By
default, it s set to 4/4 time, but the time signature is adjustable. To change it, press the
Function Menu button until Beat shows up in the display. Then press the + or - buttons on
the number pad or use the Data knob to select one of nine different time signatures. The
metronome function can also be activated after an accompaniment rhythm has been
chosen.
C ord mode
Chord mode lets you automatically change the accompaniment chords. It can be switched
between an A.B.C. mode and a Full Range mode. In A.B.C. mode, playing one of the first
nineteen keys, or a combination of multiple within that range, will result in a chord change of
the accompaniment. In Full Range mode, you must play complete chords anywhere on the

O.T.S.
After selecting an accompaniment rhythm, pressing the O.T.S. button activates the O.T.S.
function (one touch setting). It allows you to select a sound that matches your chosen
accompaniment rhythm. Buttons M1 - M4 give you a choice of four appropriate sounds.
When the O.T.S. function is activated, Chord mode is activated too (see Chord mode
above).
Pitc bend
The Pitch Bend wheel causes the pitch to go up or down by a certain amount depending on
which way and by how much it is moved. As soon as it s released, it automatically jumps
back to the middle position.
Rhythm and accompaniments
R yt m selection
Now that we ve learned about the sound functions, let s take a look at the standard
accompaniment rhythm options.
Pressing the Rhythm button activates one of the accompaniment rhythms that can be
selected by entering the appropriate number using the 0 - 9 number pads, the + and
buttons, or the scroll wheel. At the top of the keyboard, the number ranges of different
rhythm genres are indicated to help you find the type of rhythm you re looking for more
quickly if you don t know the number.
To start an accompaniment, press the Start/Stop button and press the same button again
to stop it.
Song
In addition to standard accompaniments, it s possible to play along with any of the 120
complete songs. Press the Song button to play one of the 120 songs on the FKB-180, that
can be selected by entering the appropriate number using the 0 - 9 number pads, pressing
the + and - buttons or the scroll wheel. Pressing the Start/Stop button will stop a song
that s playing. Refer to the ‘Demo list’ in this manual for an overview of all the songs.
Sync
After pressing the Sync button, it s possible to start an accompaniment rhythm whenever
you like by pressing one of the first nineteen notes on the keyboard. Then you can simply
play along.
If a rhythm is already playing, pressing the Sync button will prepare the accompaniment
rhythm for a different song. You can also select a different accompaniment rhythm before
activating the Sync function again if you like.
Intro/Ending
It s possible to add an intro and/or an ending to your song. To add an intro, press the
Intro/Ending button and then press the Start/Stop button to start the intro which will be
followed by the accompaniment rhythm you ve chosen. To add an ending to your song,
press the Intro/Ending button after which the accompaniment rhythm will stop.

Fill A/Fill B
Press the Fill button (A or B) to add a fill to the accompaniment rhythm of your song. The
fill played is determined by the accompaniment rhythm selected.
After the fill, the selected accompaniment rhythm will continue playing. The Fill In function
can be used as often as desired.
Fade-in/fade-out
Press the ‘Fade-in/fade-out’ button before or during a selected rhythm to gently fade in or
out of the selected accompaniment.
Accomp volume
The volume of the accompaniment rhythm can be adjusted independently from the master
volume. This means that the accompaniment rhythm can blend into the background more
so that your playing can be heard more clearly, for instance.
The accompaniment rhythm volume can be set anywhere between 0 and 32 using the +
and - buttons. The value will be shown on the display.
Record function
The FKB-180 has a recording function that allows you to record your playing. Press the
Record button to activate the recording mode. Recording will then start as soon as you
play your first note. When you re finished playing, the recording will stop. Pressing the Play
button will let you hear the recording.
Status memory
The FKB-180 has an internal memory where user presets can be stored. Four presets can
be stored per bank and each can be accessed and cycled through via the Bank mode.
Presets can be accessed and loaded within a bank by pressing the M buttons underneath
the display.
To save presets, hold the Memory button and press M1, M2, M3 or M4. Bear in mind that
the preset will be stored in whatever bank you are currently in!
The number of the selected ‘M’ button will then be displayed followed by the message
MEM STOR that confirms the preset has been saved. Presets include the selected
accompaniment rhythm and its functions as well as the selected sound and any effects
you re using. Any existing presets in the same slot on the same bank will be overwritten by
the new preset.
Function menu
Pressing the Function Menu button activates the function menu where various parameters
can be adjusted. These include various settings that affect the sound of the keyboard. You
can choose between different effects like Reverb and Chorus, although you may not want
effects like this at all when a piano sound is selected, for example. For this reason, they can
be de-activated when required. When used with other instruments, however, effects like

this, when set to the right levels, can enhance sounds by giving them an extra dimension.
All of the possibilities can be cycled through by pressing the Function Menu button multiple
times. When you ve found the function you want to adjust, you can do so using the + or -
buttons or the Data knob. After the adjustment has been made or when no action has been
taken for 3 seconds, the Function Menu will close again.
Any values you set within the Function menu can be reset to their default values by
pressing the + and - buttons at the same time. Any values you set will only be retained as
long as the keyboard is switched on. If the keyboard is switched off and on again, the

Lesson function
The FKB-180 has a built-in lesson function that makes it possible to learn to play easy as
well as more complex well-known songs. It s possible to focus lessons on the left hand or
right hand parts only.
Before you can start the lesson function, you need to press the Song button. This will start
a song which you can stop by pressing the Start/stop button. Now press the Lesson
button. The word Lesson will then appear above the hands shown on the bottom right.
Three different Lesson modes can be chosen by pressing the Lesson button multiple times.
At the end of each lesson, feedback will be given by the virtual teacher. This will either be
OK , Good , Very Good! or Excellent! . This feedback is designed to encourage players to
improve.
Lesson 1:
This lesson mode is designed to help those who want to practise their timing.
In lesson 1, it s not so important which key you press, but it must be played at the right time
to match the beat of the music that is being played. It s possible to focus the lesson on the
right or left hands only. If you choose to focus on the right hand only, that part will not be
played so that you can do it yourself. If you choose to focus on the left hand only, that part
will not be played so that you can do it yourself. If you choose to focus on both hands,
neither part will be played so that you can do it yourself. Again, it s not so important which
keys you press in this mode, but they must be played at the right time to match the beat of
the music that is being played.
Lesson 2:
In Lesson 2, it s more important to play the correct note or chord. Whenever a mistake is
made, the music will stop until the correct note or chord is played. As soon as it is, the song
will continue. It s also possible here to focus the lesson on the right or left hands only, so
that you can play those parts yourself.
Lesson 3:
In Lesson 3, it s even more important to play the correct note or chord. In this mode,
assistance is turned off which means it s entirely up to the keyboard player to play the
correct notes or chords at the right time to match the beat of the music that is being played.
Playing along with own music
It s possible to play along with your own music by inserting a USB stick with MP3 files into
the keyboard s USB port on the back. Using the MP3 navigation keys, which can found be
underneath the display, you can select the track you want to play along with. This gives you
many more possibilities in addition to the built-in songs.
Note that the lesson functions do not work with your own music.
