Since the organ tones
reproduce the sound of a
traditional organ, in certain
registers you may be able
to perceive that they exhibit
a certain amount of
harmonic foldback.
When you select A/B
tones, the damper pedal
will be applied only to the
right-hand area of the
keyboard.
F 3 (included in left-hand areas)
B A
A/B tones have settings
optimized for playing with
the keyboard divided into
right-hand and left-hand
zones. With some tones, the
octave (pitch) settings may
differ on opposing sides of
the border between the
keyboard zones.

When Dual play (p. 16),
only tone number 1 or 2
can be selected.
If you use Dual play with a
Tone button for which tone
number 3 or 4 is selected,
tone number 1 will be
selected for that Tone
button.
With certain tones, the
sounds may seem to be
distorted.
