Portable Grand

This convenient function lets you instantly call up the Grand Piano voice.

Playing the Portable Grand

Press the piano-shaped [PORTABLE GRAND] button.
Doing this automatically cancels any other mode or function, and resets the entire
instrument for playing the special "Stereo Sampled Piano" Grand Piano voice. It
automatically selects the Song mode, calling up song #11, "Für Elise" — which
can be played instantly by pressing the [START/STOP] button.
The Portable grand setting is designed also for playing with the special Pianist
styles (#81 - #00). When auto accompaniment is turned on, these provide piano-
only accompaniment in a variety of music styles.
