Basic Operations

any). If you input one digit and stop, the display will automatically clear
your input after a few seconds.
• You can also increment the displayed tone number by pressing [+] and
decrement it by pressing [–].

keyboard key depressed.
Combination tones
The following describes the two types of combination tones that are
available.
Layered Tones (Tone Numbers: 80 through 89)
Example: 80 STR PIANO
This tone layers a strings tone with a piano tone so they both sound
when a keyboard key is pressed.
Split Tones (Tone Numbers: 90 through 96)
Example: 90 BASS/PIANO
This tone splits the keyboard so one range is assigned a bass tone
and another range is assigned a piano tone.
Percussion sounds
Example: 99 PERCUSSION
This tone assigns various percussion sounds to the keyboard. See the
Percussion Assignment List on page A-4 for full details.
Sound Effect Tones
With sound effect tones 77 through 79, the type of sound produced
depends on the octave where the key you press is located. When 78
PHONE is selected available sound types are PUSH TONE 1, PUSH
TONE 2, RING 1, RING 2, and BUSY SIGNAL.
