Playing the Voices

Selecting and playing the voices of a new P-200 is simple, since by default the
instrument starts up for the first time in Voice Play mode with initialized parameter
settings, and the PIANO 1 voice selected.
Therefore, all you have to do is press a [VOICE SELECT] button and start playing the
keyboard. Take a few minutes and try playing each of the voices and notice the rich
quality and dimension of the P-200's AWM sound, complete with the nuance of
natural expression via the keyboard.
As you play, try out the [PITCH] wheel, which lets you bend notes up or down. Also
try out the [MODULATION] wheel, which lets you add varying degrees of vibrato (or
other effects) to the voices.
While you're at it, try out the various reverb and modulation effects, by pressing the
[REVERB] and [MODULATION] buttons once or more.
When you're ready for more, turn the page, and find out about all the P-200 has in
store.

NOTE
You cannot enter Demo Play mode (or
any other Play mode) when the P-200
is in Edit mode. (The LED above the
[EDIT] button will blink when the P-200
is in Edit mode.) To exit Edit mode,
simply press the [EDIT] button. Also
note that you will not be able to play
the P-200 or use any of the Edit mode
functions while a Demo song is
playing.
NOTE
You can assign a specific effect to the
[MODULATION] wheel in Edit mode
(see page 58) which is completely
unrelated to the modulation effects
available by pressing the
[MODULATION] button (see page 27)
once or more. Note that when the
vibrato effect is assigned to the
[MODULATION] wheel, you cannot
apply vibrato modulation to the Piano
voices 1 ~ 4. Also note that the reverb
depth or modulation speed may be set
at 0 for certain voices, and therefore
produce no noticeable effect. (For
information about changing reverb
depth, see page 27. For information
about changing modulation speed,
see page 28.)
