Pressing keys to play the sound of a part

You can play the sound of a part by pressing the drum part keys, or by selecting a synth part and pressing the step keys with the KEYBOARD key turned on. The sound of each part will differ depending on the pattern. Turn the dial to select various patterns, and try out the wide variety of sounds.

Part (☞ Owner’s manual: p.22)

Pressing the synth part accent key will not produce sound.

You cannot turn the KEYBOARD key on/off unless one of the synth part keys 1–5 are selected.

Since each synth part is a monophonic synthesizer, it cannot sound two or more notes simultaneously (polyphonically).
