Most sounds on this keyboard have been recorded and pro- cessed using a technique called digital sampling. To ensure a high level of tonal quality, samples are taken in the low, mid, and high ranges and then combined to sound amazingly close to the orig- inals.

You might notice very slight differ- ences in volume or sound quality for some sounds when you play them at different positions on the keyboard. This is an unavoidable result of digital sampling and is not a malfunction.
