Using an Advanced Tone

100 of the preset tones are “Advanced Tones,” which are vari-
ations of standard tones created by programming in effects
(DSP) and other settings. For example, PIANO is modified
into STEREO PIANO, ORGAN becomes ROTARY SPEAK-
ER ORGAN, and so on.

To select an Advanced Tone

1.

Press the ADVANCED TONE button.

• This causes “AD” to appear on the display, and caus-

es the currently selected tone to change to its Ad-
vanced Tone version.

• “AD TONE” stands for “ADVANCED TONE.”

2.

Press the TONE button.

• This causes “AD” to disappear from the display, and

returns to the tone to its standard preset.

NOTE

• Preset tone numbers 000 to 099 have Advanced Tone versions.
• Anytime “AD” is on the display indicating that an Advanced Tone

is selected, you can use [+] and [–] to scroll the tone number
on the display.

• If any tone number outside the range of 000 to 099 is selected

when you press the ADVANCED TONE button, the tone auto-
matically changes to the Advanced Tone version of tone number
00.

• Only one of the channels (1 to 16) can have an Advanced Tone

assigned to it at one time. Assigning an Advanced Tone to an-
other channel causes the currently assigned channel to change
automatically to its standard (non-Advanced) version.

Polyphony

The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes
you can play at the same time. The keyboard has 32-note po-
lyphony, which includes the notes you play as well as the
rhythms and auto-accompaniment patterns that are played
by the keyboard. This means that when a rhythm or auto-
accompaniment pattern is being played by the keyboard, the
number of notes (polyphony) available for keyboard play is
reduced. Also note that some of the tones offer only 16-note
polyphony.

Digital Sampling

A number of the tones that are available with this keyboard
have been recorded and processed using a technique called
digital sampling. To ensure a high level of tonal quality, sam-
ples are taken in the low, mid, and high ranges and then com-
bined to provide you with sounds that are amazingly close to
the originals. You may notice very slight differences in vol-
ume or sound quality for some tones when you play them at
different positions on the keyboard. This is an unavoidable
result of multiple sampling, and it is not a sign of malfunction.
