USING THE PRESET
TONES
Your keyboard can sound like 100 dif-
ferent musical instruments or sound
effects. The name and two-digit num-
ber for each preset tone is listed on
the 100 TONES list on the keyboard's
top panel.
Notes:
• The keyboard has 12-note (maxi-
mum) polyphonic sound. This
means that you can play up to 12
different notes at the same time
with most of the keyboard's pre-
set tones. Some of the key-
board's preset tones, however,
are
capable
of
polyphony.
• Most tones on this keyboard have
been recorded and processed
using a technique called digital
sampling. To ensure a high level
of tonal quality, samples are
taken in the low, mid, and high
ranges and are then combined to
sound amazingly close to the
originals. You might notice very

positions on the keyboard. This is
an unavoidable result of multiple
sampling and is not a malfunc-
tion.
• Some sound effect tones, such
as PERCUSSION (No. 99), do
not follow the musical scale when
played, but change effect as you
.
play them in different octaves on
the keyboard.
