Basic Operation
Variation Button
Each tone button is assigned two tones: a “normal tone”
(whose name is above the tone button) and a “variation tone”
(whose name is below the tone button). Which tone is selected
when you press a tone button depends on the current status
of the indicator lamp above the VARIATION button, as shown
below.
• Press the VARIATION button to toggle its indicator lamp
on and off.
• Pressing the tone button of the currently selected tone
toggles it between the normal tone and the variation tone.
❚ NOTE
• The tone buttons provide you with a selection of 16 tones that
you can assign to and play on the keyboard.
• The GRAND PIANO 1 tone was recorded with stereo sampling.
• See “Selecting a Variation Tone” for information on selecting
the tones whose names are marked below each tone button.
