Performing with Various Sounds
In addition to piano sounds, the HP305/HP302 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.
