ber of the tune you want to play.

TERMINOLOGY
Song:
On the instrument, performance
data is called a “Song.” This
includes demonstration tunes and
piano preset tunes.
Preset:
Preset Data supplied with the
internal memory of the instrument
shipped from the factory.
You can play the keyboard along
with the preset song. You can
change the voice playing on the
keyboard.
The default tempo “0” is automati-
cally selected whenever a new
preset song is selected, or when
playback of a new preset song
begins during “ALL” or “rnd
playback.
When you select a different song
(or a different song is selected
during chained playback), appro-
priate reverb and effect types will
be selected accordingly.
You can adjust the Brilliance con-
trol (page 20) and Reverb type
(page 20) that is applied to the
voice played from the keyboard
and to preset song playback. You
can change the Effect settings
(page 21) and Touch sensitivity
