Playing with Different Tones
NOTE
• 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
suits the song you are playing along with or your
own personal preferences. The CONCERT and
MODERN tones are assigned to buttons for quick
and easy selection.
Tone NameCharacteristics
CONCERTThis 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.
MODERNThis 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.
CLASSICThis 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.
MELLOWWarm and mellow piano tone
BRIGHTBright and clear piano tone
* Feature that applies computer morphing
technology to enable seamless changes between
sounds sampled at various dynamics from a full
concert grand piano.
Bass Tone (BASS)
Selecting BASS (LOWER) tone 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 (LOWER) key.
• BASS (LOWER) lets you effectively split the
keyboard between two different tones.
Low RangeHigh Range
NOTE
• To return the keyboard to a single tone, select any

The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital
Interface, which is the name of a worldwide standard
for digital signals and connectors that makes it possible
to exchange musical data between musical instruments
and computers (machines) produced by different
manufacturers.

Transferring Song Data with a
Computer
Use the procedures in this section to transfer Recorder
memory data to a computer for storage, and to load
songs to user song memory (Music Library 61 to 70).
IMPORTANT!
• Turning off the Digital Piano while it is exchanging
data with a computer can cause data in Digital Piano
memory to become corrupted. If this happens, a
memory format operation will start the next time you
turn on the Digital Piano. Note that it takes about 20
seconds for the format operation to finish, and you
will not be able to perform any operation during that
time.
1.
Perform steps 1 through 3 of the procedure
under “Connecting the Digital Piano to Your
Computer” on page EN-33.
2.
Change the Digital Piano’s USB device mode
to storage.
• While holding down the FUNCTION button, press
the keyboard key that corresponds to the USB device
mode.
• After this setting is changed, the GRAND PIANO

Digital Piano memory data was
corrupted because a data transfer
operation with a computer was in
progress the last time you turned off the
piano. When this happens, the Digital
Piano performs a memory format
operation the next time you turn it on.
You cannot perform any other operation
while a format operation is in progress.
This is an unavoidable result of the digital sampling process,
* Multiple digital samples are taken for the low range, middle range, and high range of the original
musical instrument. Because of this, there may be very slight differences in tonal quality and
volume between sample ranges.
This happens when the sounds of multiple parts are sounding at the same time while using layer,
using the Duet Mode, playing back a built-in tune, recording, etc. Pressing a button when one of
these conditions exists will cause the effect setting that is built into the tone to change automatically,
which causes notes to cut out momentarily or causes a slight change in how effects are being
applied.
