When you just want to play piano, all you have to do is press one convenient button.

Press the [PORTABLE GRAND] button.

The “001 Live! Grand Piano” voice will be selected.

The pitch bend wheel can be used to add smooth pitch variations to notes you play on the keyboard. Roll the wheel
upward to raise the pitch, or downward to lower the pitch.
If you use this feature with a voice such as the “043 Overdriven” guitar voice (page 23), you can produce remarkably
realistic string-bending effects.

When touch response is on you can control the volume of notes according to how hard you play the keys – much like
a real piano responds to subtle touch nuances. When touch response is off the same volume will be produced no mat-
ter how hard you play the keys.

Press the [TOUCH] button.

The [TOUCH] button turns touch response on or off. Touch response is normally
on. When touch response is on the touch response icon will appear in the display.

Play the Grand Piano Voice

• When you press the [PORTA-

BLE GRAND] button all settings
other than touch sensitivity are
turned off. The dual and split
voices will also be turned off, so
only the Grand Piano voice will
play over the entire keyboard.
