When you simply want to play a piano Voice, all you have to do is press one convenient button.
Press the [PORTABLE GRAND] button.
The Voice “Grand Piano” will automatically be selected as the Main Voice.
You’ll be able to play various sound effects from the keyboard: barking, braying, yelling, and much more.
Press the [SOUND EFFECT] button.
Try out each key and enjoy the sounds. Don’t forget the black keys!
After trying out these sounds, press the [PORTABLE GRAND] button to reset the instrument Voice to the default
setting of Voice “Grand Piano1.”
You can play the keyboard with a spacious, dynamic sound effect that gives you the sensation of hearing the sound
outside of the speakers.
Turn on the Ultra-Wide Stereo effect, and hear the sound expand around you—as if the speaker position is outside
of the instrument.
Press the [ULTRA-WIDE STEREO] button.
To turn ULTRA-WIDE STEREO off, press the [ULTRA-WIDE STEREO] button
again.

The sustain function can also be applied with the optional footswitch (page 9).
