2.1VALUE BUTTONS

These two buttons are used to change the value for certain functions.

First select the function or option you would like to change the value for by pressing the appropriate button(s), then use the VALUE buttons to change the value. “ ” button increases the value and “ ” decreases the value.

These buttons can also be used to select the various sounds. You can select all of the preset sounds assigned to the ten SOUND SELECT buttons.

However, sounds cannot be selected by using the Value buttons when you are in DUAL or SPLIT mode.

2.2DUAL

Another feature of the CN piano is the ability to layer two preset sounds together to create a more complex sound. For example, piano layered with strings, electric piano with choir sound, and so on.

To layer two sounds, press the SOUND SELECT buttons for both

sounds simultaneously. The LED indicators for each will be turned on to indicate the two sounds you have chosen. You will find the selected sound names are also shown in the LCD display.

Studio Grand

String Ensemble

Both sound names are displayed.

If you want to layer two sounds assigned to the same SOUND SELECT button, while pressing the desired SOUND SELECT button use the VALUE buttons to select your desired layered sound.

ABOUT POLYPHONY

The CN piano is capable of playing up to 96 notes simultaneously (96- note polyphony). When playing in dual mode, or when playing the stereo piano sound, the polyphony will be reduced by half since the piano has to produce two sounds for each note.

2.3SPLIT

SELECTING SPLIT SOUNDS

The split function divides the keyboard into two sections—upper and lower—and lets you play each part with a different sound.
