Playing a Wide Variety of Instrument Sounds
The KF-90 comes with a large number of built-in instrument sounds and
effects. This lets you enjoy performances with sounds matched to a wide
range of musical genres. The various types of built-in sounds are called
“Tones.” The tones are divided into nine separate groups, each assigned to
one of the nine “Tone Select” buttons.

played (velocity).
