Since the organ tones
reproduce the sound of a
traditional organ, in certain
registers you may be able
to perceive that they exhibit
a certain amount of
harmonic foldback.

When you select A/B
tones, the damper pedal
will be applied only to the
right-hand area of the
keyboard.
A/B tones have settings
optimized for playing with
the keyboard divided into
right-hand and left-hand
zones. With some tones, the
Track
octave (pitch) settings may
differ on opposing sides of
the border between the
keyboard zones.
Dual play (p. 16) can be
used when tone numbers 1
or 2 are selected.
If you use Dual play with a
Tone button for which tone
number 3 or 4 is selected,
tone number 1 will be
selected for that Tone
button.
