Owner's Manual
3.2 Layering two instrument
sounds
The HP-147e allows you to select two sounds simulta-
neously so as to perform with both the Piano and
Strings sounds, for example.
Example: layering the Piano and Strings Tones
1. First, assign the Strings sound to the [Tone] button
(sec above).
2. While holding down the [Piano] button, press the
[Tone] button.

Hold down... Press
Both button indicators light. When you play the key-
board, both the Piano and Strings Tones are layered.
Reverting to a single Tone
Press either the [Piano] button or the [Tone] button.
Only the button indicator for the button that was
pressed stays on, and only that instrument sound is
produced.

Layering two “non-piano” Tones
You can perform with two Tones assigned to the
[Tone] button (rather than Piano and another sound).
While holding down the [Tone] button, simultane-
ously press the Harpsichord and Strings keys.

Note: Itis not possible to assign two sounds to the [Tone]
button. Consequently, you cannot select these kinds of lay-
ers by pressing [Tone]. Whenever you press this button, the
single previously assigned Tone is restored.
3.3 Adding Reverb
The HP-147e allows you to add reverberation to what
you play on the keyboard. The Reverb effect provides
a pleasant reverberation that gives the impression that
you are performing in a concert hall or similar space.
1. Press the [Reverb] button; the button indicator
lights.
Reverberation is added to the sound.

2. Press the [Reverb] button once more; the button
indicator goes off, and the Reverb effect is no longer
added to the sound.
Note: Refer to “Functions assigned to the keyboard” on
page 17 for the exact location of the keys you need to press.
Setting the Reverb level
You can also set the volume of the Reverb effect to
accommodate the sound your are using. You may
want to select a higher Reverb for the Strings sound
(to simulate the reverberations of a concert hall) than
for the piano sound.
There are eight possible Reverb level settings. At pow-
er-on, the HP-147e selects level “4”.
1. Press and hold the [Key Touch/Demo Song] but-
ton.
