Press the Part button with the flashing indicator to save the Tone you've chosen to
the Group button.
The indicator for the Part button stops flashing and remains lit continuously.
Once the Tone has been saved, you can then call it up just by pressing the Group button.
A Tone is selected only temporarily unless it is saved to the Group button. If you choose a
different Tone Group, or do some other operation without first saving the Tone you've
chosen, the currently selected Tone Group reverts to the one that was saved previously.
* When the power is switched off and then back on, the Tone for the left-hand part is set to
Tone number 8.35, "Acoustic Bass."
* The Tone numbers for the Tone Groups when the power is turned on are as follows.
Left-hand Part
Tone Groups 1 to 7: Tone number 1
Tone Group 8:
Tone number 35 (Acoustic Bass)
Right-hand Part
Tone Groups 1 to 8: Tone number 1
* If you change the Tone Group for the right-hand part, the selected Tone Group for Whole-
Keyboard Play also changes.
* The Tone settings for the Group buttons are saved separately for the left-hand and right-
hand parts. This means that pressing the same Group button for the left-hand and right-
hand parts may produce different Tones.
* The pitch of the sound may be altered when the keyboard is split, because the unit sets the
pitch to the optimum range for the Tone that is selected.
* Split Play, Layer Play (p. 33), and Style Play (p. 18) cannot be carried out simultaneously.
Playing Two Tones at the Same Time—Layer Play
You can use the keyboard to play two different tones at the same time. For instance, it's
possible to play a performance that uses the Tones for both Piano and Strings. This method
of performance is called "Layer Play."
The [Balance] slider can be used to adjust the volume balance of the two Tones.
As an example of this, let's try Layer Play using the Tones for Piano and Strings.

the keyboard, both Tones are heard at the same time.
