1.
Press [PREVIEW]. While you continue pressing [PREVIEW], the button will light and a phrase will play.
When you release the button, the phrase will stop.
If you press the [PREVIEW] key and release it immediately, the phrase will play back to the end. In this
case, you can stop the phrase playback by pressing [PREVIEW] once again.
2.
Turn the [VALUE] dial to switch sounds.
At start-up, the native mode sounds will be selected.
Changing the Preview settings
At the factory settings, you can audition a characteristic phrase that uses the currently selected sound
(Phrase Preview). Alternatively, you can set it so that Preview will play a single note at the pitch (key)
and strength (velocity) that you specify.
For details on Preview settings, refer to "Preview settings" (p. 52).
