Using the Preset Tones

6.To temporarily stop playing the tune, press PLAY/PAUSE again. To stop the tune completely, press STOP.

Turning Applause Off/On

When you turn off either the melody or accompaniment and then play a tune, applause automatically sounds at the end of the tune. To turn off the applause, hold down STOP and press either ON/ OFF LEFT or ON/OFF RIGHT. Apls=Off appears. To turn the applause on again, press the same buttons. Apls=On ap- pears.

Consecutively Playing Back the Tunes

Normally, the tune you selected plays continuously until you press STOP. To play all 100 prerecorded tunes consecu- tively, press either TONE or RHYTHM, then press PLAY/PAUSE. The keyboard plays the tunes in sequence starting with Tune 00.

To stop consecutive playback, press STOP or START/STOP.

Your keyboard can sound like 100 differ- ent musical instruments or sound ef- fects. The name and two-digit number for each preset tone is listed on the 100 TONES list on the keyboard’s top panel.

Notes:

•The keyboard has 16-note (maxi- mum) polyphonic sound. This means that you can play up to 16

different notes at the same time with most of the keyboard’s preset tones. Some of the keyboard’s preset tones, however, are capable of only 8-note polyphony.

•Most tones on this keyboard have been recorded and processed using a technique called digital sampling. To ensure a high level of tonal qual- ity, samples are taken in the low, mid, and high ranges and are then combined to sound amazingly close to the originals. You might notice very slight differences in volume or sound quality for some tones when you play them at different positions on the keyboard. This is an unavoid- able result of multiple sampling and is not a malfunction.

•Some sound effect tones, such as PERCUSSION (No. 99), do not fol- low the musical scale when played, but change effect as you play them in different octaves on the keyboard.

Selecting/Playing a Preset Tone

1.Press TONE. The current tone’s number and an indicator to the right of TONE appear.

Note: Each time you turn the key- board on, it automatically selects the tone PIANO 1 (No. 00).

2.To play a different tone, choose a preset tone from the 100 TONES list and enter its two-digit number on the keypad. As you press the keys, the selected digits appear.

Or, you can use + or – to move to the next higher or lower numbered tone.
