Basic Operation
• The keyboard automatically selects the
tone GRAND PIANO (No. 00) when you
turn the power on. To select a different
tone, see “Selecting/Playing a Preset
Tone”.
• To select an auto-rhythm, see “Percussion
Sounds” on Page 6.
• To play auto accompaniment, see “Using
Auto Accompaniment” on Page 6.
• The keyboard’s volume ranges from 0 (no
sound) to 9 (maximum). Each time you turn
on the keyboard, the volume is set to 7.
• To quickly change the volume setting, hold
down VOLUME

• The volume level differs depending on the
tone, accompaniment, or song you
selected.
Playing the Prerecorded Tunes
• To practice or play along with the
prerecorded tunes, see “Using Lesson
Mode” on Page 8.
• Precede a single-digit number with a 0. For
example, to select 07 (“I Just Called To Say
I Love You”), press 0 7.
• You cannot use the preset auto-rhythms
while a prerecorded tune is playing. To play
a rhythm, press SONG to exit the song
mode first.
Using the Preset Tones
• The keyboard has 12-note (maximum)
polyphonic sound. This means that you can
play up to 12 different notes at the same
time with most of the keyboard’s preset
tones. Some tones are only capable of 6-
note polyphony.
• Most tones on 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 are then
combined to sound amazingly close to the
originals. You might 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
is not a malfunction.
• Some sound effect tones, such as
PERCUSSION (No. 99), do not follow the
musical scale when played, but change
effect as you play them in different octaves
on the keyboard.
Selecting/Playing a Preset Tone
• Each time you turn the keyboard on, it
automatically selects the tone GRAND
PIANO (No. 00).
• Precede a single-digit number with a 0. For
example, to select ELEC PIANO 1 (No. 04),
press 0 4.
• If you enter an incorrect first digit, press
TONE to clear your entry, then enter the
correct digit.
