SELECTING A PRESET SOUND
Step1
Press the SOUND SELECT button below the name of the instrument to be played.
When the button is pressed, the LED indicator will turn on, indicating that this sound has been selected.
The name of the selected preset sound is also shown in the LCD display. Multiple sounds are assigned to each
button; pressing the same SOUND SELECT button again will select the next variation sound assigned to that
SOUND SELECT button.
To select a Church Organ sound, press the CHURCH ORGAN button as shown above. The LED indicator for the
CHURCH ORGAN button will turn on.
Preset sounds can also be selected by pressing the VALUE buttons.
The OTHERS button is assigned with 280 sounds, divided into 20 additional categories. While

Step2
Play the keyboard.
The selected sound will be heard as the keys are pressed.
Use the MASTER VOLUME slider to adjust the volume if necessary.
The CN41 piano is capable of playing up to 96 notes simultaneously (96-note polyphony). However, when playing in dual
mode, or when playing a stereo piano sound, the polyphony will be reduced by half because the piano has to produce
two sounds for each note.
