Listening to the Demos

Built into the Poetry are 60 preprogrammed songs. Of
these, 10 are Sound Demo Songs that highlight the quality
of various internal sounds. The other 50 are familiar Piano
Songs and etudes.
During playback of a sound demo song, you can play
using the keyboard; however, the sound cannot be
changed by using the sound buttons.
During playback of a sound demo song, the settings for
effects (reverb and chorus) cannot be changed.
Listening to a Sound Demo Song
