How to read the display notes
Each note has a name: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, in anglo-saxon
notation which correspond to LA, SI, DO, RE, MI, FA, SOL, in
Latin notation and A, H, C, D, E, F, G, in German notation.
This correspondence is illustrated on the next diagram.
This keyboard
displays the
notes in the
A n g l o - S a x o n
notation.
The display consists of 3 digits and each digit can show a
letter or a number. Example, when you choose demo song
n. 41 the will show:
"d" (which means demo song), the second n. 4 and the third
n. 1.
When the display shows a musical note, its name appears in
the second digit, e.g.
notation is the C note, and in the Latin notation is the DO
note. Simultaneously, the third digit shows the number of
the position of that note, e.g.
the note is C (DO) in position 5 (see figure).
Sometimes, the first digit can show letter "b" (flat) to
indicate that the note corresponds to the black key
immediately to the left of the note. E.g.:
where "b" means flat, "d" is the D note (RE) and "5" is the
position of the note; therefore, the note to be played is
RE
the following:
DO RE MI FA SOL LA SI DO
