Use the number buttons to input the three-digit tone
number of the tone you want to select.
Example: To select "049 ACOUSTIC BASS", input 0, 4
and then 9.
NOTE
• Always input all three digits for the tone number,
including leading zeros (if any). If you input one or two
digits and stop, the display will automatically clear your
input after a few seconds.
• You can also increment the displayed tone number by
pressing [+] and decrement it by pressing [–].
• When one of the drum sets is selected (tone numbers
256 through 263), each keyboard key is assigned a
different percussion sound. See page A-4 for details.
Polyphony
The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes
you can play at the same time. The keyboard has 32-note
polyphony, which includes the notes you play as well as the
rhythms and auto-accompaniment patterns that are played
by the keyboard. This means that when a rhythm or auto-
accompaniment pattern is being played by the keyboard, the
number of notes (polyphony) available for keyboard play is
reduced. Also note that some of the tones offer only 16-note
polyphony.
• When rhythm or auto accompaniment is playing, the
number of sounds simultaneously played is reduced.
