Selecting a Tone
You can select from among 50 built-in tones. A tone
list on the console shows the names and numbers
of the tones.
1
Press the TONE button.
• This causes “TONE” to appear on the
display, along with the number of the
currently selected tone.
2
Find the tone you want in the tone list, and
then use the number buttons to input its two-
digit number.
• To select “06 MARIMBA”, for example,
press [0] then [6].
• You can also use the + (higher) and –
(lower) buttons to change the displayed
tone number.
3
After selecting the tone, play something on
the keyboard to hear what it sounds like.
NOTE
• The tone list, rhythm list, and Song Bank list
do not show all of the tones, rhythms, and
songs that are available. See the Appendix
at the back of this manual for complete lists.
• The initial power on default tone setting is “00
GRAND PIANO”.
• This keyboard has 8-note polyphony, which
means it can play up to eight notes at the
same time.
• When tone “49 PERCUSSION” is selected,
keyboard keys are assigned the percussion
sounds shown in the illustration below.
