To select a tone
1
Find the tone you want to use in the tone list and
note its tone number.
2
Press the TONE button.
3
Use the number buttons to input the three digit tone
number for the tone you want to select.
Example: To select 332 ACOUSTIC BASS GM, input
3, 3 and then 2.
NOTE
Always input all three digits for the tone number, including
leading zeros (if any).
You can also increment the displayed tone number by
pressing [+] and decrement it by pressing [].
When one of the drum sets is selected (tone numbers
500 through 515), each keyboard key is assigned a
different percussion sound. See page A-12 for details.
Polyphony
The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes
you can play at the same time. The keyboard has 32-note
polyphony, which includes the notes you play as well as the
rhythms and auto-accompaniment patterns that are played
by the keyboard. This means that when a rhythm or auto-
accompaniment pattern is being played by the keyboard, the
number of notes (polyphony) available for keyboard play is
reduced. Also note that some of the tones offer only 10-note
polyphony.

Basic Operations
Digital Sampling
A number of the tones that are available with this keyboard
have been recorded and processed using a technique called
digital sampling. To ensure a high level of tonal quality,
samples are taken in the low, mid, and high ranges and then
combined to provide you with sounds that are amazingly
close to the originals. You may notice very slight differences
in volume or sound quality for some tones when you play
them at different positions on the keyboard. This is an
unavoidable result of multiple sampling, and it is not a sign
of malfunction.
Changing Tones and Configuring
DSP Effect Settings
This keyboard has only a single DSP sound source. Because
of this, selecting tones for which DSP is enabled for multiple
parts when layering or splitting tones (page E-74, 75) can
cause conflicts. To avoid conflicts, DSP is allocated to the last
DSP enabled tone, and DSP is disabled (DSP line OFF) for all
other parts.
DSP line is a parameter that controls whether or not the
currently selected DSP effect is applied to a part.* Each tone
has a DSP line parameter. Selecting a tone for a part applies
the tones DSP line parameter setting to all parts.
* The DSP line parameter is turned on (DSP effect is applied)
for the 300 Advanced Tones numbered 000 through 299,
and turned off (DSP effect not applied) for the 200 preset
tones from 300 to 499. For information about other tones,
see Tone Types on page E-22.
