changes. The trade-off is, however, that you
have to strike the keys forcefully to achieve the
maximum volume.

All Tones of your DisCover 5 are fantastic, of
course, but some of them are truly amazing. In
the supplied “Tone & Drum Set Lists” document
(and on the display pages), look out for Tones
that start with a “V” (for “virtual”).
Select them and try playing at different veloci-
ties (strengths) to find out the rich nuances
that can be obtained. There is a trumpet Tone,
for example (“V Trumpet”, A81, Variation 13)
that allows you to alternate between a “closed”
and “open” muted trumpet simply by hitting
the keys softer or harder. Various guitar Tones
provide hammering-on/bending sounds when
you strike the keys as hard as you can.
On top of that, transposing the keyboard to the
lowest octave (using the OCTAVE parameter on
various pages) sometimes provides access to
some typical noises (scraping over the strings,
hitting the body of an acoustic guitar, etc.).
Such realism could be achieved in SPLIT mode:
assign the same Tone to the Upper and Lower
parts, but select the lowest octave (–4) for the
Lower part. That way, you can play the “noises”
with your left hand.
Master Tune
This is not really a performance function, but it allows you to tune your DisCover 5 to acoustic instruments that
cannot be tuned.
(1) Press the [MENU] button.
The display changes to:
(2) Press the [MASTER≈TUNE] field.
(3) Use the [VALUE] dial to set the desired tuning.
The default value is “440.0”. You can return to
this value by pressing the [440.0Hz] field.
(4) Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main
page.
