These switches determine the basic PF15 sound. There are
10 basic selections: PIANO 1, 2 and 3, HARPSICHORD 1
and 2, ELECTRIC PIANO 1, 2 and 3, VIBRAPHONE
and CLAV. When the A/B selection switch is in the A
position (JE) the sounds written on the upper line are
obtained for each TONE SELECT switch. When in the B
position {= ), the sounds written on the lower line are
obtained. Choose the sound you want using the A/B
selection switch and the appropriate TONE SELECT
switch.
e If all the TONE SELECT switches are off, PIANO 1 is
automatically selected.
@ To change the sound, wait until the present sound
completely disappears before pressing the next TONE
SELECT switch to avoid erroneous sound selection.
e If two or more TONE SELECT switches are pressed at
the same time, the switch on the right is selected auto-
matically.

@ KEY TRANSPOSE
While the exceptional range thanks to its 88 keys and seven
octave range, even further versatility is provided by the
KEY TRANSPOSE function, which allows you to transpose
the keyboard up or down a half-octave in semitone steps.
For transposition above the standard C setting, however,
the pitches of notes above C7 drop one octave. For exam-
ple, C7# becomes Ce #, D7 becomes De, etc.
e For normal operation, the KEY TRANSPOSE lever is
set in the “C” position.
