(middle C) each time you play a pre- recorded tune.
•Each preset tone plays within a specified range. If a key change causes a note to exceed its range, the same note sounds in the nearest octave.
•When you select preset tones 90 through 96 after changing the key, the keyboard split point changes accordingly (see “Keyboard Split Tones” on Page 13).
•Changing the key does not affect the PERCUSSION (No. 99) preset tone.
TUNING THE KEYBOARD
Although your keyboard never goes out of tune, it does let you adjust its pitch to match other instruments or musical re- cordings.
Note: You cannot tune the keyboard while a prerecorded tune is displayed or playing.
Follow these steps to tune the keyboard.
1.Repeatedly press TRANSPOSE/ TUNE/MIDI until the display shows Tune and the current pitch setting.
Note: The number on the display is the number of “cents” to which the keyboard is currently tuned, com- pared to its default pitch. A cent is the measurement that represents the acoustical interval between two tones. 1200 cents equal 1 octave. You can tune the keyboard to within 50 cents (101 levels) of its default pitch.
2.Within 5 seconds, repeatedly press
– or + to lower or raise the key- board’s pitch. Each time you press the key, the number decreases or increases by 1 (cent).
Notes:
•You can use the number keypad to raise the pitch by entering the cent change value.
•The keyboard automatically resets the tuning pitch to the default value of 00 (cents) each time you turn off the keyboard or play the pre- recorded tunes.
USING TOUCH RESPONSE
Your keyboard has a touch response feature that lets you adjust the volume of your music’s tone based on how hard you strike the key(s), so you can add emotion to your music.
Repeatedly press TOUCH RESPONSE so its indicator appears to turn touch re- sponse on or until its indicator disap- pears to turn it off.
Notes:
•The touch response setting does not affect auto accompaniment or received MIDI data.
•The MIDI data sent out from the keyboard is affected by the touch response setting.
USING PITCH BEND
Your keyboard has a pitch bend feature that lets you bend a note by altering its pitch. Pitch bend lets you create realistic
