Playing with Different Tones
NOTE
• Of the digital piano’s 18 built-in tones, the first five
are grand piano tone. Each tone has its own
distinctive merits, so you should select the tone that
suits the song you are playing along with or your
own personal preferences. The CONCERT and
MODERN tones are assigned to buttons for quick
and easy selection.
* Feature that applies computer morphing
technology to enable seamless changes between
sounds sampled at various dynamics from a full
concert grand piano.
Bass Tone (BASS)
Selecting the BASS (LOWER) tone in step 1 of the
above procedure will assign the bass tone to the low
range (left side) of the keyboard. The high range (right
side) will be assigned the tone that was selected when
you pressed the BASS key.
• BASS tone lets you effectively split the keyboard
between two different tones.
NOTE
• To return the keyboard to a single tone, select any
tone other than BASS.
• You cannot select BASS when recording to Track 2.
• You can configure settings to sustain reverberation
of the BASS (LOWER) tone while the damper pedal
or sostenuto pedal is pressed. For more information,
see “Bass damper effect” (page EN-30).
Tone Name Characteristics
CONCERT A full concert grand piano tone that
uses Linear Morphing* for dynamic
and natural tone changes. This tone is
designed to reproduce damper,
resonance, and other piano nuances,
which makes it ideal for virtually any
type of piano performance.
MODERN This tone provides a bright grand piano
sound. The volume and timbre of this
tone is quick to respond to different
keyboard pressures. This tone is a good
choice for dynamic and lively
performances.
CLASSIC This is a natural piano tone that closely
resembles the sound of an acoustic
piano. Resonance is more pronounced,
which enables expression of delicate
nuances. This tone is a good choice for
lesson and practice sessions.
MELLOW A warm, subdued grand piano tone.
BRIGHT A bright and clear grand piano tone.

About DSP
DSP makes it possible to digitally produce complex
acoustic effects. The DSP is assigned to each tone
whenever you turn on Digital Piano power.
Your Digital Piano comes equipped with three pedals:
damper, soft, and sostenuto
Pedal Functions
z Damper Pedal
Pressing the damper pedal while playing causes notes
you play on the keyboard to be sustained (continue to
play) longer.
• When GRAND PIANO is selected as the tone, using
this pedal generates harmonic and other resonance,
just like the damper pedal on an acoustic grand
piano.
z
Soft Pedal
Pressing this pedal while playing suppresses notes
played on the keyboard after the pedal was pressed,
and makes them sound softer.
z Sostenuto Pedal
Only the notes of the keys that are depressed when this
pedal is pressed are sustained until the pedal is
released.
NOTE
• If pressing the pedal does not produce the desired
effect, it could mean that the pedal cord is not
connected properly. Refer to step 1 under “To
connect the cables” (page EN-52).

Disabling Damper Noise Output
Damper noise is a slight metallic ringing sound that is
generated as the damper of an acoustic piano separates
from the wires pedal when the damper pedal is
pressed. The damper resonance of your Digital Piano
normally includes damper noise, but you can perform
the procedure below to disable its output.
1.
While holding down the FUNCTION button,
press the Damper Noise keyboard key.
• For details about using the keyboard keys for
settings, see “Keyboard Keys Used for Configuring
Settings” (page EN-29).
• Each press of the key toggles the setting and causes
the Digital Piano to beep as described below.
– Long beep: Damper noise output disabled
– Short beep: Damper noise output enabled
1.
Press the METRONOME button.
• This starts the metronome.
• The lamp above the START/STOP a button flash
in time with the metronome beat.
2.
While holding down the FUNCTION button,
press the METRONOME BEAT keyboard
key.
Keep the FUNCTION button depressed as you
advance to step 3.
3.
With the FUNCTION button still depressed
from the previous step, press one of the
BEAT keyboard keys (0 to 9) to specify a beat
value.
• You can specify a beat value in the range of 0 to 9
(beats per measure). A chime will sound on the first
beat of each measure, and clicks will sound for the
remaining beats. Specifying 0 plays a straight click,
without any chime. This setting lets you practice with
a steady beat.
4.
Release the FUNCTION button and then hold
it down again as you press the
METRONOME TEMPO keyboard key.
Keep the FUNCTION button depressed as you
advance to step 5.

5.
While holding down the FUNCTION button,
use the TEMPO keys to specify a tempo
value in the range of 20 to 255 beats per
minute.
• Each press of the + or – key raises or lowers the
tempo value by 1.
• You can use the value input keys (0 to 9) to enter a
specific tempo value.
6.
Press the METRONOME button or START/
STOP a button to turn off the metronome.
NOTE
• If you used the value input keys (0 to 9) to input beat
and/or tempo values and the values are within the
allowable setting ranges, the Digital Piano will emit
a high pitch beep when you release the FUNCTION
button. If a value is outside the allowable range, a
low-pitch sound will be emitted.
• You could also use the procedure below in place of
steps 4 and 5 of the above procedure to specify a
tempo value.
– While holding down the METRONOME button,
use the TEMPO keyboard keys to specify a tempo
value in the range of 20 to 255 (beats per minute).
• In step 5 of the above procedure, pressing the + and
– keys at the same time will set the tempo of the
Concert Play lesson tune or Music Library tune that
was last selected on the Digital Piano. Pressing + and
– while recording will return the tempo value to 120.
To adjust the metronome volume
You can perform the following procedure at any time,
regardless of whether or not the metronome is
sounding.
1.
While holding down the FUNCTION button,
use the Metronome Volume keys to specify a
volume value in the range of 0 to 42.
• For details about using the keyboard keys for
settings, see “Keyboard Keys Used for Configuring
Settings” on page EN-29.
• Each press of the T orS key raises or lowers the
metronome volume value by 1.
NOTE
• To return to the initial default setting, press T and
S at the same time.
You can use the Duet Mode to split the Digital Piano’s
keyboard in the center so two people can play a duet.
The left and right side keyboards have virtually the
same range. The left pedal operates as the left side
damper pedal, while the right pedal is the right side
damper pedal.
The Duet Mode is the perfect way to conduct lessons,
with the teacher playing on the left side as the student
playing the same song on the right side.
NOTE
• Only the damper pedal for the right side keyboard
supports half-pedal operations.

cannot be changed while the Digital Piano is in the
Duet Mode.
NOTE
• You can configure the piano to output the left side
keyboard tone from the left speaker and the right
side keyboard tone from the right speaker while
duet is turned on. For more information, see “Duet
pan” (page EN-30).
Changing the Octaves of the duet
keyboards
You can change the ranges of the left and right
keyboards in octave units from their initial default
settings. This comes in handy, for example, if the initial
default range is not enough when one person is
playing the left hand part and another person is
playing the right hand part.
1.
