Selecting and Playing a Tone
The piano comes with 11 built-in tones.
• The names of the tones are marked above the
keyboard keys to which they are assigned.
• The GRAND PIANO tone was recorded with stereo
sampling.
To select a tone
1 Press the POWER button.
2 Select the tone you want.
● To select GRAND PIANO
Press the GRAND PIANO button.
● To select one of the other tones
• While holding down the FUNCTION button,
press the keyboard key that corresponds to
the tone you want to select.
• You can also select a tone by holding down
the FUNCTION button and pressing the
GRAND PIANO button. Each press of the
GRAND PIANO button cycles through the
tone settings in sequence from 1 through
A as shown in the illustration.
*
A note does not sound when you press a
keyboard key while holding down the
FUNCTION button.
3 Use the VOLUME knob to adjust the
volume.
NOTE
• Changing the tone selection causes DSP* to switch
automatically to the default setting for the newly
selected tone. This causes any notes that are
sounding at the time of the change to be interrupted
momentarily. The DSP* will be set to the default
setting for the newly selected tone when the note
resumes. (*See page E-7)
