About the display

A large-size display, easy to operate with excellent readability, is used for displaying various information such as the names of the selected sounds and rhythms etc. and when setting the functions. Let’s take a look.

•The display illustrations shown in this User’s Manual are examples for the sake of clarification; the actual displays on your instrument may differ from the illustrations.

About the display

At the bottom half of the normal display, the volume balance of each part is represented in a fader illustration and by a number (0 to 127). You can use the balance buttons below the display to adjust the volumes.

<Performance parts>

RT: RIGHT APC: AUTO PLAY CHORD PADS: PIANO PERFORMANCE PADS (PR804)

METR: METRONOME

When setting the volume balance, press the upper button to increase the volume and the lower button to decrease it.

• Hold a button down to scroll the volume quickly.

MUTE

To mute a part, press both the corresponding upper and lower buttons at the same time.

•The volume display for a muted part is shown as “MUTE”.

•Pressing either balance button for a muted part will cancel the mute function.

OTHER PARTS/TR button

If you press the OTHER PARTS/TR button, the display changes to show the volumes of PART (PT) 1–16. You can then adjust the volumes of these parts. These parts are active when playing back a song disk or when this instrument is connected to external MIDI equipment and is used as a multi- timbre sound generator.

•When there are other parts or tracks to access, the OTHER PARTS/TR indicator is lit.
