Selecting a sound set

Sound sets are collections of sounds used for keyboard perfor-
mance.
There are 200 sound sets on the i3, divided into 17 categories.
Try selecting a sound set and playing the i3.
Sounds such as pianos, strings, synthesizers, drums and so on
are allocated to the four parts (the lower part and upper parts
1–3) of each sound set. These four parts together are called a
keyboard part.
