keyboard operations.
Playing the Keyboard

keyboard volume.
Its always a good idea to set the keyboard volume at
a relatively low level before playing.
Pressing [̆] or [̄] causes the current volume setting
to appear on the display. Press [̆] or [̄] again to
change the setting.

Play something on the keyboard.
Selecting a Tone
This keyboard comes with 100 built-in tones. Use the
following procedure to select the tone you want to use.
To select a tone
1
Find the tone you want to use in the Tone List and
note its tone number.
Not all of the available tones are shown on the tone
list printed on the keyboard console. For a complete
list, see the Tone List on page A-1.
2
Press the TONE button.
3
Use the number buttons to input the two digit tone
number for the tone you want to select.
Example:
To select 26 WOOD BASS, input 2 and then 6 .
Now notes played on the keyboard will be played
using an acoustical wood bass sound.
NOTE
Always input both digits for the tone number, including
a leading zero (if any). If you input one digit and stop,
the display will automatically clear your input after a few
seconds.
You can also increment the displayed tone number by
pressing [+] and decrement it by pressing [].
Sound effect tones such as 77 VEHICLE sound best
when you keep a keyboard key depressed.
Combination tones
The following describes the two types of combination tones
that are available.
Layered Tones (Tone Numbers: 80 through 89)
Example: 80 STR PIANO
This tone layers a strings tone with a piano tone so they both
sound when a keyboard key is pressed.
Split Tones (Tone Numbers: 90 through 96)
Example: 90 BASS/PIANO
This tone splits the keyboard so one range is assigned a bass
tone and another range is assigned a piano tone.
