Basic Operations
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 Instrument 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.
Polyphony
The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes
you can play at the same time. The keyboard has 12-note
polyphony, 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 6-note
polyphony.
NOTE
• When rhythm or auto accompaniment is playing, the
number of sounds simultaneously played is reduced.
BASS PIANO
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,
samples are taken in the low, mid, and high ranges and then
combined to provide you with sounds that are amazingly
close to the originals. You may notice very slight differences
in volume 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.
