USING THE PRESET TONES
Your keyboard can sound like 232 different
musical instruments or sound effects. The
name and three-digit number for each preset
tone is listed on the 232 TONES list on the
keyboard’s top panel.
Notes:
• The keyboard has 32-note (maximum)
polyphonic sound. This means that you
can play up to 32 different notes at the
same time with most of the keyboard’s
preset tones. Some of the keyboard’s
preset tones, however, are capable of
only 16-note polyphony.
• Most tones on this keyboard have been
recorded and processed using a tech-
nique called digital sampling. To ensure
a high level of tonal quality, samples
are taken in the low, mid, and high
ranges and are then combined to sound
amazingly close to the originals. You
might notice very slight differences in
volume or sound quality for some tones
when you play them at different posi-
tions on the keyboard. This is an
unavoidable result of multiple sampling
and is not a malfunction.
To select and play a preset tone:
1. Press
TONE
.
TONE
and the current
tone’s name and number appear.
Note:
The first time you turn the key-
board on, it automatically selects the
tone GRAND PIANO (No. 000).
2. To play a different tone, choose a preset
tone from the 232 TONES list and enter
its three-digit number on the keypad. As
you press the keys, the selected digits
appear.
Notes:
• You can select the next highest or low-
est numbered tone by simply pressing

or
