Chapter 3
Internal Voices Mode
This chapter describes Internal Voices mode in detail. This is the simpler of the two
modes and is automatically selected when power is turned on. Internal Voices mode is
indicated by the LED immediately over the display being on.
When in Internal Voices mode, the entire keyboard plays the selected sound. MIDI
signals can also be sent so that an external sound module can Òplay along,Ó or a
computer sequencer can record your performance.

Selecting Internal Voices Mode

There are two ways to get to Internal Voices mode:
¥ If the Stage Piano is in Play mode (no LEDs to the left of the display are lit), simply
press the upper-left editing button (marked Internal/Setup).
¥ If the Stage Piano is in Edit mode (LEDs to the left of the display are lit), press the
lower right editing button (marked Play/Edit). This returns the Stage Piano to Play
mode; all LEDs to the left of the display should turn off. If not, press Play/Edit
repeatedly until they do. Then press Internal/Setup.
When successful, the LED above the display marked Internal Voices will light. Of
course, turning the power switch off then on again will always return to Internal
Voices mode.

Selecting Sounds

To select a sound for playing, simply locate its name and press the corresponding
button once if itÕs a red sound, or twice if itÕs green). In case the buttonÕs LED is
already on but is the wrong color, press the button once to change it.
Keys (or the sustain pedal) may be down when selecting the new sound. Notes
already playing at the time a different sound is selected will continue to play using the
previous sound. If the new sound has a different effects setting, however, the effects
will change when the new sound is selected. This may or may not be noticeable,
depending on the contrast between the two effects. Read on for more on effects
settings.
