The MASTER VOLUME buttons (which do not light) control overall volume
of all notes played on the keyboard. The volume of auto-accompaniment can
be adjusted using the ACCOMP. VOLUME buttons (which do not light). The
current volume for a specific part will appear briefly in the display each time
a VOLUME
button is pressed.
With the X Series, you can also adjust the volume of the keyboard alone. For
example, you can increase just the piano sound when playing in SOUND 1
with AUTO-ACCOMPANIMENT by raising the MASTER VOLUME while
pressing the SOUND 1 button. The volume of SOUND 2 can be raised by
raising the MASTER VOLUME while pressing the SOUND 2 button inthe
same way.
