Selecting Voices
When using the Silent Piano function, you can use the internal voices of this unit to perform with voices other
than that of a piano.
Note
• Sound is output after you have pressed a key to select a voice.
• Turning the instrument off resets voice selection, which returns to piano the next time you turn the unit on.
• See “Preset Voice List” on page 20 for details on voices.
• You can also select two voices for simultaneous playback. See “Dual Voice” on page 6.
Caution
• You can change voices while performing. This function is not available for songs that are being played back.
• For voices other than piano, the soft pedal alters the voice variation rather than dampening the tone.
• For voices other than piano, the volume of the sound for the three lowest keys has been lowered intentionally.
Voice Variation
This unit provides variations on voices for your enjoyment when playing other voices than piano.
See “Preset Voice List” on page 20 for details on variations.
