2. Adding effects to the sound
Adjusting the brightness
The brightness can be adjusted independently for each
sound. This setting is remembered for each sound until
you change it.
1. Hold down the [BRILLIANCE] switch, and
press either the [PIANO 1/L], [PIANO 2/M], or
[E.PIANO/H] sound selector switch to select the
brightness of the tone.
PIANO 1/L
MELLOW: The tone will become more muted.
PIANO 2/M
NORMAL: The "MELLOW" or "BRIGHT"
settings will be cancelled, and the tone will return
to normal.
E.PIANO/H
BRIGHT: The tone will become brighter.
2. To check the currently selected brilliance, hold
down the [BRILLIANCE] switch.
The indicator of either the [PIANO 1/L], [PIANO
2/M], or [E.PIANO/H] sound selector switch will
light to indicate the current brilliance setting.
Adding reverberation
You can add reverberation and depth to the sound
currently selected by the [Sound selector] switches, to
create a sense of presence as though you playing in a
concert hall. This is called
the reverb effect.
The reverb effect can be set independently for each
sound. This setting is remembered for each sound until
you change it.
1. Hold down the [REVERB] switch, and press
either the [PIANO 1/L], [PIANO 2/M], or
[E.PIANO/H] sound selector switch to select the
depth of reverb.
PIANO 1/L
Shallow reverb will applied.
PIANO 2/M
Moderate reverb will be applied.
E.PIANO/H
Deep reverb will be applied.
2. To check the currently selected reverb depth,
hold down the [REVERB] switch.
The indicator of either the [PIANO 1/L], [PIANO
2/M], or [E.PIANO/H] sound selector switch will
light to indicate the current reverb depth.
3. If you do not want to apply reverb, press the
[REVERB] switch.
Reverb will be turned off, and the [REVERB]
switch indicator will go dark.
MeMO
Since the [PIANO 1] and [PIANO 2] sounds simulate the
string resonance of an acoustic piano, a small amount of
reverb will remain even if reverb is turned off.

The indicator of the [Sound selector] switch you
pressed will light.

Playing two sounds together (the Layer

You can cause two sounds (for example [PIANO 1]
and [STRINGS]) to be heard simultaneously when
you play a note. This is called t
he Layer function.
1. Simultaneously press two [Sound selector]
switches.
The indicators of the two [Sound selector] switches
you pressed will light. Up to 32 notes can be
played simultaneously. (Up to 21 notes if PIANO 1
is selected.)
2. To turn off the Layer function, press a single
[Sound selector] switch.
Adjusting the volume balance of the two sounds
❍
While holding down the [Sound selector] switch
for the instrument you wish to reduce the
volume of, repeatedly press the [Sound selector]
switch for the instrument you wish to increase
the volume of.
When you have set the desired balance, use the
[MASTER VOLUME] slider to adjust the volume.
MeMO
The volume balance is remembered even after the Layer
function is cancelled, and after the power is turned off.
