Playing with Different Tones
EN-7
Bass Tone (BASS)
Selecting the BASS (LOWER) tone in step 1 of the
above procedure will assign the 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 key.
• BASS tone lets you effectively split the keyboard
between two different tones.
NOTE
• To return the keyboard to a single tone, select any
tone other than BASS.
• You cannot select BASS when recording to Track 2.
• You can configure settings to sustain reverberation
of the BASS (LOWER) tone while the damper pedal
or sostenuto pedal is pressed. For more information,
see “Lower Pedal” (page EN-28).
The tones of your Digital Piano have built-in elements
that give them the characteristic reverberation of an
acoustic piano (ACOUSTIC SIMULATOR). Each of
these elements can be individually adjusted to one of
four levels.
 HAMMER RESPONSE
 STRING RESONANCE
 LID SIMULATOR
