Selecting a Tone

Your digital piano has a selection of 8 built-in tones.

There are also two tones that are exclusively for use as low- range split tones. See “Built-in Bass Tones” (page E-12) for more information.

*The names of the tones are marked above the keyboard keys to which they are assigned.

To select a tone

This causes the power indicator to light.

The “GRAND PIANO 1” tone is selected at this time.

While holding down the CONTROL button, press the keyboard key that corresponds to the tone you want to select.

*A note does not sound when you press a keyboard key while holding down CONTROL button.

3Use the VOLUME knob to adjust the volume.

It is a good idea to set the volume to a relatively low level at first.

*Moving the knob towards MIN decreases volume, while moving it towards MAX increases volume.

• Adjust volume to the level you want as you play.

5After you are finished playing, press the POWER button to turn off power.

Layering Two Tones

Use the following procedure to layer to two tones, so they sound at the same time.

1While holding down the CONTROL button, simultaneously press the keyboard keys that correspond to the two notes that you want to layer.

The tones are now layered.
