styles are played.

Manual Drums
This mode lets you play drum sounds from the keyboard.

is played. If you don’t want this rhythm accompaniment, be sure to turn off the |
Sync function and start play without pressing the START/STOP button.
Two Different Sounds
When you're in the Lower Split Mode, you can play sounds in the lower and upper
sections of the keyboard. This lets you create ensembles of two different sounds with

while playing a piano part with the right.

Press the SELECT button to choose either the upper or lower section for
