Digital Sampling
A number of the tones that are available with this keyboard have been recorded and processed using a technique called digital sam- pling.

You may 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 un- avoidable result of multiple sampling, and it is not a sign of malfunc- tion.
