Playing with Different Tones
NOTE
• GRAND PIANO tones (MODERN, CLASSIC)
Your digital piano has a total of 16 built-in tones. 
The MODERN and CLASSIC tones are stereo 
sampled tones that can be selected using the 
GRAND PIANO buttons. Try using the GRAND 
PIANO tones to familiarize yourself with their 
distinctive sounds and characteristics.
• The GRAND PIANO tone (VARIATION) is best for 
playing along with an accompaniment.
Bass Tones (BASS 1, BASS 2)
Selecting either of the two BASS (LOWER) tones (1 or 
2) in step 2 of the above procedure will assign the 
selected bass tone to the low range (left side) of the 
keyboard. The high range (right side) will be assigned 
the tone that was selected when you pressed the 
BASS 1 or BASS 2 key.
• BASS 1 and BASS 2 let you effectively split the 
keyboard between two different tones.
NOTE
• To return the keyboard to a single tone, select any 
tone other than BASS 1 or BASS 2.
• You cannot select BASS 1 or BASS 2 when recording 
to Track 2.

NOTE
• To return a tone to its initial default setting “0”, 
press T and S at the same time.
Tone Name Characteristics
MODERN This tone provides a bright grand piano 
sound. The volume and timbre of this 
tone is quick to respond to different 
keyboard pressures, and it has 
relatively strong reverb. This tone is a 
good choice for dynamic and lively 
performances.
CLASSIC This is a natural piano tone that closely 
resembles the sound of an acoustic 
grand piano. Reverb and other effects 
are kept to a minimum in order to 
enhance the impact of piano pedals 
operations (acoustic resonance), for 
musically delicate expressions. This 
tone is a good choice for lesson and 
practice sessions.
