Playing with Different Tones
EN-9
The tones of your Digital Piano have built-in elements
that give them the characteristic reverberation of an
acoustic piano. Each of these elements can be
individually adjusted to one of four levels.
z HAMMER RESPONSE
z STRING RESONANCE
z LID SIMULATOR
NOTE
• Opening or closing the Digital Piano’s lid does not
affect the LID SIMULATOR setting.
1.
While holding down the FUNCTION button,
press the button that corresponds to the
element whose setting you want to change.
• Each press of the button cycles to the next option for
that setting. The Digital Piano emits a beep pattern
that indicates the currently selected option:
One beep: Option 1 3 Two beeps: Option 2 3
Three beeps: Option 3 3 Four beeps: Option 4 3
One beep: Option 1, etc.
• The lamp of each button lights whenever the
standard setting of its element is selected.
NOTE
• In addition to the above, piano tones also have a
KEY OFF SIMULATOR.

Use the following procedure to layer two tones, so they
sound at the same time.
When specifying two tones for layering, first tone you
select will be the main tone, while the second tone will
be the layered tone.

While holding down the FUNCTION button,
press down the keyboard key for the first tone
you want to layer and then the key for the
second tone.
Example: First press the GRAND PIANO BRIGHT key
and then the STRINGS 1 key.
2.
To unlayer the keyboard, select another tone
by pressing the
GRAND PIANO button or by
using the procedure under “Selecting and
Playing a Tone” (page EN-7).
NOTE
• You cannot layer the BASS tone with another tone.
• You cannot perform the layer operation when
recording to Track 2.
