Selecting A Tone - Casio MA-170 User Manual

Selecting a Tone

You can select from among 50 built-in tones. A tone
list on the console shows the names and numbers
of the tones.
1
Press the TONE button.
• This causes "TONE" to appear on the
display, along with the number of the
currently selected tone.
2
Find the tone you want in the tone list, and
then use the number buttons to input its two-
digit number.
• To select "06 MARIMBA", for example,
press [0] then [6].
• You can also use the + (higher) and –
(lower) buttons to change the displayed
tone number.
3
After selecting the tone, play something on
the keyboard to hear what it sounds like.
