Playing with Different Tones
NOTE
• GRAND PIANO tones (MODERN, CLASSIC)
Your digital piano has a total of 16 built-in tones.
The MODERN and CLASSIC tones are stereo
sampled tones that can be selected using the
GRAND PIANO
buttons. Try using the GRAND
PIANO tones to familiarize yourself with their
distinctive sounds and characteristics.
• The GRAND PIANO tone (VARIATION) is best for
playing along with an accompaniment.
Bass Tones (BASS 1, BASS 2)
Selecting either of the two BASS (LOWER) tones (1 or
2) in step 2 of the above procedure will assign the
selected bass tone to the low range (left side) of the
keyboard. The high range (right side) will be assigned
the tone that was selected when you pressed the
BASS 1 or BASS 2 key.
• BASS 1 and BASS 2 let you effectively split the
keyboard between two different tones.
NOTE
• To return the keyboard to a single tone, select any
tone other than BASS 1 or BASS 2.
• You cannot select BASS 1 or BASS 2 when recording
to Track 2.

brilliance value in the range of –3 to 0 to 3.
NOTE
• To return a tone to its initial default setting “0”,
press T and S at the same time.
Tone Name Characteristics
MODERN This tone provides a bright grand piano
sound. The volume and timbre of this
tone is quick to respond to different
keyboard pressures, and it has
relatively strong reverb. This tone is a
good choice for dynamic and lively
performances.
CLASSIC This is a natural piano tone that closely
resembles the sound of an acoustic
grand piano. Reverb and other effects
are kept to a minimum in order to
enhance the impact of piano pedals
operations (acoustic resonance), for
musically delicate expressions. This
tone is a good choice for lesson and
practice sessions.
