SELECTING INSTRUMENT SOUNDS

PS1500 has almost 400 instrument Sounds, in-
cluding orchestral, percussion and contemporary
musical instruments. You can customize any
sound to your tastes with the built in sound edit
capabilities.

1. Press the GRAND PIANO button.

The display shows the GRAND PIANO PRE-
SET for a short period then returns to the de-
fault situation automatically with the EASY
PLAY, MEMORY and STYLE LOCK buttons
activated (LED on) and VARIATION 2 of Style
Soul BB from the POP group selected.

The GRAND PIANO button always returns
you to a single instrument sound (Piano 1)
playing across the full keyboard. You may
use the “Grand Piano” button as a ‘return to
start’ button whenever you wish to have only
one sound active across all 88 keys.

The Grand Piano Preset is discussed in de-
tail in chapter 4, “Sounds and Presets”.

Select a Sound by pressing the Function but-
ton corresponding to the Sound name in the
