Main Features

Harmony Intelligence

The Harmony Intelligence function automatically adds harmony to the upper keyboard sound according to the chord
you play in the lower keyboard. This gives you greater tonal depth and a more powerful performance.

76-note lower keyboard for plenty of range

The 76-note range can be split into zones, allowing a solo voice, pedal bass voice, percussion, etc., to be played
independently for an even wider range of performance possibilities. Since the lower keyboard can be divided into a
maximum of four parts, you have at your command expressive power that rivals that of a three-manual organ.
In addition, you can use the Drums/SFX function to play drum sounds or sound effects from the entire lower keyboard.

Connect external speakers for even greater presence

Using the Aux Out jack, the accompaniment parts and an enveloping ambience of RSS reverb sound can be played
through external speakers to create the impression that you’re playing along with a band or orchestra.
In addition, the drums, bass, and other sounds can be output separately, allowing you to adjust the volume balance
during a concert.

Large, wide LCD

For convenience, the frame area of the wide LCD screen always displays buttons for frequently used functions. You
can also view the tempo and measure number in any screen. The color liquid-crystal touch panel ensures excellent
visibility and easy operability.
