Preset Song mode cannot be 
engaged while the unit is in Demo 
Song mode (page 15) or during 
song playback (page 41), User 
song recording (page 27), or file 
operations (page 33).

Song:
Performance data is called a 
“Song.” This includes demonstra-
tion tunes and piano preset tunes.

You can play the keyboard along 
with the preset song. You can 
change the voice playing on the 
keyboard.

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.

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.

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.
