to appear on the display. Press [ ] or [ ] again to
change the setting.

Use the number buttons to input the two digit
tone number for the tone you want to select.
Example: To select "26 WOOD BASS", input 2 and then
6 .
• Now notes played on the keyboard will be played
using an acoustical wood bass sound.
NOTE
• Always input both digits for the tone number, including a lead-
ing zero (if any). If you input one digit and stop, the display will
automatically clear your input after a few seconds.
• You can also increment the displayed tone number by press-
ing [+] and decrement it by pressing [–].
• The names of tone numbers 60 through 89 are not marked on
the keyboard console. See the "Tone List" (page A-1) for de-
tails.
• Sound effect tones such as 77 VEHICLE sound best when you
keep a keyboard key depressed.
Combination tones
The following describes the two types of combination tones
that are available.
Layered Tones (Tone Numbers: 80 through 89)
Example: 80 STR PIANO
This tone layers a strings tone with a piano tone so they both
sound when a keyboard key is pressed.
Split Tones (Tone Numbers: 90 through 96)
Example: 90 BASS/PIANO
This tone splits the keyboard so one range is assigned a bass
tone and another range is assigned a piano tone.
