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

own personal preferences. The CONCERT and
MODERN tones are assigned to buttons for quick
and easy selection.

technology to enable seamless changes between
sounds sampled at various dynamics from a full
concert grand piano.
Bass Tones (BASS 1, BASS 2)
Selecting either of the two BASS (LOWER) tones (1 or
2) in step 1 of the above procedure will assign the
selected 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 1 or BASS 2 key.

BASS 1 and BASS 2 let you effectively split the
keyboard between two different tones.

To return the keyboard to a single tone, select any
tone other than BASS 1 or BASS 2.

Tone Name
Characteristics
CONCERT
This is 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, and it has
relatively deep reverb. 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. Though reverb and other flashy
effects are subdued for this tone,
resonance is more pronounced, which
enables expression of delicate nuances.
This tone is a good choice for lesson
and practice sessions.
