Changing the Tone of a 
Prerecorded Tune

You cannot change the tone of the two-
hand tunes (number 85 through 99).

Selecting another tune switches the tone to 
the default tone of the newly selected tune.

When you change the tone for the prerecor-
ded tunes, the newly selected tone stays in 
effect even after you switch to normal mode.

Changing Keys

You cannot change the key while a 
prerecorded tune is selected or playing.

The number on the display is the number of 
semitones to which the keyboard is set, 
compared to its default key. A semitone is a 
measurement that represents the 
acoustical interval between the tones of any 
two keys on the keyboard. For example, the 
difference between C and C  or B and B
is one semitone. You can transpose the key 
down 6 semitones (to an F ) and up 5
semitones (to an F) — a full octave.

You can also use the number keypad to 
quickly raise the key. Simply press the 
semitone change value (1 to 5).

The keyboard automatically resets the key 
to the default value of 0 (middle C) each 
time you play a prerecorded tune (by 
pressing DEMO or SONG).

Each preset tone plays within a specified 
range. If a key change causes a note to 
exceed its range, the same note sounds in 
the nearest octave.

When you select preset tones 75 through 79 
and 90 through 96 after changing the key, 
the keyboard split point changes according-
ly (see “Keyboard Split Tones” on Page 5). 

Changing the key does not affect the 
PERCUSSION (No. 99) preset tone or 
auto-accompaniment rhythm.

Tuning the Keyboard

You cannot tune the keyboard while a 
prerecorded tune is displayed or playing.

The number on the display is the number of 
cents to which the keyboard is currently 
tuned, compared to its default pitch. A cent 
is the measurement representing the 
acoustical interval between two tones. 1200 
cents equal 1 octave. You can tune the 
keyboard to within 50 cents (101 levels) of 
its default pitch.

You can use the number keypad to raise 
the pitch by entering the cent change value.

The keyboard automatically resets the 
tuning pitch to the default value of 00 
(cents) each time you turn off the keyboard 
or play the prerecorded tunes (by pressing 
DEMO or SONG).
