Digital Sampling A number of the tones that are available with this keyboard have been recorded and processed using a technique called digital sampling. To ensure a high level of tonal quality, samples are taken in the low, mid, and high ranges and then combined to provide you with sounds that are amazingly close to the originals. You may notice very slight differences in volume or sound quality for some tones when you play them at different positions on the keyboard. This is an unavoidable result of multiple sampling, and it is not a sign of malfunction. Layered Tones (Tone Numbers: 80 through 89) Example: 80 STR PIANO This tone layers a strings tone with a piano tone so they both sound when a keyboard key is pressed. Split Tones (Tone Numbers: 90 through 96) Example: 90 BASS/PIANO This tone splits the keyboard so one range is assigned a bass tone and another range is assigned a piano tone. BASS PIANO Percussion sounds Example: 99 PERCUSSION This tone assigns various percussion sounds to the keyboard. See the "Percussion Instrument List" on page A-5 for full details. Sound Effect Tones With sound effect tones 77 through 79, the type of sound produced depends on the octave where the key you press is located. When 78 PHONE is selected available sound types are PUSH TONE 1, PUSH TONE 2, RING 1, RING 2, and BUSY SIGNAL. Polyphony The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes you can play at the same time.
