Performing with a variety of sounds

Performance

The ep-760 contains 20 built-in sounds (or “Tones”). The tones are organized into five Tone groups, which are assigned to the Tone buttons.

Selecting a tone group

APress any Tone button.

The indicator of the button you pressed will light. When you play the keyboard, you will hear a sound in the selected tone group.

For more details, refer to “Tone List”, p. 105.

Selecting Variation tones

BPress the [Variation] button.

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

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.

Dual performance (p. 11) or Split performance (p. 13) can be used when tone numbers 1 or 2 are selected.

If you use Dual performance or Split performance with a Tone button for which tone number 3 or 4 is selected, tone number 1 will be selected for that Tone button.

Playing two sounds together (Dual performance)

Simultaneously playing two tones when one key is pressed is called “Dual performance.” When Dual performance is used, the [Variation] button’s indicator will light to indicate the selection of the right button of the two selected tones.

ASimultaneously press the two Tone buttons that you want to play together.

The indicator of the button you pressed will light. When you play the keyboard, the tones of the two Tone buttons you selected will sound simultaneously.

To cancel Dual performance, press any Tone button.

Changing the tone of the right button (modifying the Dual combination)

BPress the [Variation] button.

Dual performance now plays the tone of the left Tone button along with the newly selected tone.

Dual performance can be used only with Tones numbered “1” or “2” (see above).

If you use Dual performance with a Tone numbered “3” or “4”, Tone “1” will automatically be selected for that Tone button.

Changing the tone of the left button

Cancel the Dual performance, and then re-select the desired Tones.
