❐ 264 tones
A wide selection of tones includes stereo piano and synthesized sounds, drum sets, and much more.
❐ PIANO SONGS button
The touch of a button takes you directly to piano tones and piano lessons.
❐ Advanced 3-Step Lesson System
The 3-Step Lesson System lets you practice at your own pace. The keyboard automatically grades your performances, so you can
trace your progress as you improve.
• 3-Step Lesson System: Use any of the keyboard’s built-in tunes and SMF data from a SmartMedia
TM card to learn to play as the
keyboard keys light to teach you the correct notes. First practice the timing of the notes. Next, play along at your own pace.
Soon you will be ready for step three, where you play along at normal speed.
*
Note that key lights may be difficult to see under direct sunlight or under other very bright lighting.
• Evaluation System: The keyboard can be configured to rate your performances during Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3 lessons by
assigning points. You can even have the keyboard report your points vocally, both part way through and at the end of a lesson.
❐ Sing-along
Simply connect a microphone (not supplied, available at your local RadioShack store) to the microphone jack and you can sing
along with the keyboard’s built-in tunes and SMF data from a SmartMedia
TM card.
❐ 100 built-in tunes, including piano pieces
Built-in tunes are divided into two groups: a SONGS of 65 tunes with Auto Accompaniment, and a PIANO SONGS of 35 piano
tunes. You can simply enjoy listening to the built-in tunes, or eliminate the melody part of a SONGS tunes or either hand part of

before.

recorded data, keyboard keys light in time with the melody.
