Assigning a Sound to the GRAND PIANO preset

The GRAND PIANO Preset accepts a sound change using the method already described. However, whatever change you make remains temporary and is instantly cancelled if you either select the GRAND PIANO preset again, select a Preset from the PROGRAMMABLE PRESETS, or enter Song/Style or Song modes.

For example, you can assign a Guitar sound to the Upper 1 section in order to play Guitar with the Grand Piano parameters (effect, volume, etc.), BUT, you cannot store the change to the Grand Piano Preset.

To assign Sounds to tracks other than the key- board tracks

To assign sounds to tracks 1-16, use the method described on page 11.
