Some tones are assigned a pair of tones, which allow you to perform with two tones

layered together.

The factory settings have tone demos registered in the “Favorites” (p. 25). You can check and confirm the internal tones.

You can delete tone demos in the “Favorites” and overwrite them by saving other songs in their place. If you want to play back tone demos after they have been deleted, initialize the User Memory to restore the factory settings (p. 92).

You can also switch the Split function (p. 66) on and off by holding down a tone button and pressing the [Song] button. The Tone screen appears as shown below when the Split function is on.

Pressing a tone button once more cancels the Split function.
