Four different tones (numbered 1–4) are assigned to each Tone button. Use the [Variation] button to select among them.

Each time you press the [Variation] button, the button’s indicator will change color, and the four sounds will be selected successively.

Some of the number 3 and 4 tones form pairs, which can be layered and sounded together.

The tone you’ve selected is heard when you finger the keyboard.

For more details, refer to “Tone List” (p. 34).

When Dual play (p. 12) or Split play (p. 13) is used, only sound number 1 or 2 can be selected. If you use Dual play or Split play with a Tone button for which tone number 3 or 4 is selected, tone number 1 will be selected for that Tone button.
