SELECTING A PRESET SOUND
Step 1
Press the SOUND SELECT button below the name of the instrument to be played.
When the button is pressed, the LED indicator will turn on, indicating that this sound has been selected.
The name of the selected preset sound is also shown in the LCD display. Multiple sounds are assigned to each
button; pressing the same SOUND SELECT button again will select the next variation sound assigned to that
SOUND SELECT button.
To select a Church Organ sound, press the CHURCH ORGAN button as shown above. The LED indicator for the
CHURCH ORGAN button will turn on.
Preset sounds can also be selected by pressing the VALUE buttons.
The OTHERS button is assigned with 283 sounds, divided into 20 additional categories. While
holding down one of the VALUE buttons, pressing the other VALUE button will jump to the next
sound category within the OTHERS selection.

Step 2
Play the keyboard.
The selected sound will be heard as the keys are pressed.
Use the MASTER VOLUME slider to adjust the volume if necessary.
The CN42 piano is capable of playing up to 192 notes simultaneously (192-note polyphony). However, when playing
in dual mode, or when playing a stereo piano sound, the polyphony will be reduced by half because the piano has to
produce two sounds for each note.
