Basic Operation
Selecting a Tone
Your digital piano has a selection of 8 built-in tones.
There are also two tones that are exclusively for use as low-
range split tones. See Built-in Bass Tones (page E-12) for
more information.
* The names of the tones are marked above the keyboard
keys to which they are assigned.
The GRAND PIANO 1 tone was recorded with stereo
sampling.
To select a tone
1
Press the POWER button to turn on the digital
piano.
This causes the power indicator to light.
The GRAND PIANO 1 tone is selected at this time.
2
Select the tone you want.
While holding down the CONTROL button, press the
keyboard key that corresponds to the tone you want
to select.
* A note does not sound when you press a keyboard
key while holding down CONTROL button.

Use the VOLUME knob to adjust the volume.
It is a good idea to set the volume to a relatively low
level at first.

while moving it towards MAX increases volume.

Adjust volume to the level you want as you play.
5
After you are finished playing, press the POWER
button to turn off power.
