Using the numeric keypad is the quickest way to go directly
to the Voice you need, but you must know the exact number
of the voice. The name and corresponding number of all
the Voices in memory are silkscreened above the display on
the right. You’ll see that they start from number 01 through
to number 178. Two-digit voice numbers are selected by
entering the two digits in sequence. For example, to select
Voice number 17 (Organ 1), press button [1] then button
[7]. Three digit voice numbers are entered by fi rst pressing
the [VOICE]/[+100] button to specify the “hundreds”, then
pressing the remaining two digits in sequence.

Select a Voice with the numeric keypad

To play with the DUAL option (with two layered sounds), press
the [DUAL] button. The message “VOICE 2” appears in the
display as well as the voice number assigned to the layered
section. If you play on the keyboard, you will hear two sounds
for every note played. In our example, you will hear the
Piano voice (01) together with Strings (49). In DUAL mode,
whatever voice selection you make will always be assigned
to the second voice. To return to NORMAL single voice play,
press the [DUAL] button again.

Dual voice (play two layered voices)

Keyboard percussion

To play percussive instruments on the keyboard, select the
DrumKit from the DRUMKIT group. The DrumKit is recalled
using exactly the same method used to recall a Voice; by
inserting the corresponding number on the numeric keypad
when the instrument is in NORMAL mode (not DUAL or
SPLIT). To recall the STANDARD Drum Kit, simply input voice
number 129.

Press the [VOICE]/[+100] button to select the “hun-
dreds”

Insert the two remaining digits; “2” then “9”. With the
DRUMKIT selected, the keyboard transform into a device
which plays all the percussive sounds of a real drum kit.
You can see what kind of percussive instrument each note
plays by referring to the silkscreened markings on the rail
under the keyboard

To return to normal playing, simply recall a Voice from any
group except the Drum Kit group.

Note:

To play all the sounds of a Drum Kit, it is important to remember that the keyboard must not be in

Split or Dual mode. Be sure, therefore, that the left display arrow is pointing to the NORMAL function.
