Performing with Various Sounds

In addition to piano sounds, the HP307 lets you enjoy performing with many other sounds (over 300 types).

These sounds are called “Tones.” The Tones are divided into four groups, each of which is assigned to a different Tone button.

Let’s start by performing with a piano tone.

When you turn on the power, the “Grand Piano1” Tone is selected.
