Performance data is called a
“Song.” This includes demonstra-
tion tunes and piano preset tunes.
NOTE
You can play the keyboard along
with the preset song. You can
change the voice playing on the
keyboard.
NOTE
You can adjust the Brilliance con-
trol (page 21) and Reverb type
(page 21) that is applied to preset
song playback.
You can change the Effect set-
tings (page 22) and Touch sensi-
tivity (page 23) for the keyboard
voice you play.
NOTE
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 “r n d”
playback.
NOTE
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.
This produces a relative tempo varia-
tion, with a range from “–50” through
“0” to “50” at maximum; the range will
differ depending on the selected
song.
