You can practice playing “a real piano,” by pressing the [POR- TABLE GRAND] button.

When you press the [PORTABLE GRAND] button, the EZ-20 configures all the settings for piano performance.

The EZ-20 configures the following settings when you press the [PORTABLE GRAND]

Voice	001	Grand Piano

The style category “PIANIST (089–100)” and the song category “PIANO/CLASSICAL (021–050)” (automati- cally selected with the settings described above) include the styles and songs that are suitable for the piano performance.

The “PIANIST” styles are played without any rhythm sound.

Using the Metronome

Press the [METRONOME] button to play the Metronome in tempo with the accompa- niment. You can use this feature for your piano practice.

A high click sounds at every first beat of the measures.

To turn the Metronome off, press the [METRONOME] button again.
