with a 0. For example, to select
ELEC PIANO 1 (No. 04), press 

.

• If you enter an incorrect first digit,

press 

 to clear your entry,

then enter the correct digit. 

3. Play the keyboard to hear the

selected tone and adjust 

 to the desired level.

4. To select a different tone, repeat

Steps 1 and 2.

The preset tones numbered 90 through
96 on your keyboard let you automati-
cally play two different musical instru-
ments or sound effects independently
on opposite sides of the keyboard. 

The instrument listed first in the tone’s
name plays on the left half of the key-
board (below middle C). The instrument
listed next plays on the right half of the
keyboard (above middle C). For exam-
ple, BS/PNO (No. 90) plays a bass tone
on the left half of the keyboard and a pi-
ano tone on the right.

The preset tones numbered 80 through
89 on your keyboard let you automati-
cally play two different layered tones at
the same time when you press one key.
For example, STR PNO (No. 80) plays
string and piano tones when you press a
key.

PERCUSSION (No. 99) lets you play the
35 different percussion sounds shown
here. The symbol for each sound ap-
pears above the corresponding key on
the keyboard.
