select the desired variation. As you move through the variations in
each Tone group, the variation number will appear in the display.
* Whenever you select a different Tone group, the last variation used in that
group will automatically be selected.
* If you select a new sound while you have keys pressed on the keyboard
(or notes sustained with the Damper pedal), those notes will retain their
original sound. Notes played after the selection of a new sound will have
that new sound.

sound simultaneously. Combining Tones in this way allows you to create a
wide variety of interesting sounds with which to enhance your music. Note,
however, that you cannot layer two Tones from the same Tone group.
