Basic structure
The front panel of this keyboard is divided into three areas. Combining the settings in each of these areas gives you
enormous flexibility in creating sounds.
Select a Voice for each of the three keyboard Parts A to C, as well as the On/Off settings and volume balance of each
Part, the keyboard split, and effect settings, and then save these settings. You can call up these settings freely as you
play and perform.
