playing on the keys. It takes a bit of practice to get used to, but the result is worth it!

Next press the buttons [TONE] [1] [6] to select tone
number 16, which is named OBOE.
Quick Start
Put your mouth as close to the microphone as you can, andiry humming a simple melody, like
the one shown below.
eS
As you hum, the VA-10 detects the pitch of your voice and plays the corresponding note using
the keyboard tone (OBOE in our example here). Remember, however, that you have to
produce a clear tone, or else the Pitch Sensor function will not be able to produce a melody
correctly.
Ifyou experience trouble, try practicing by holding your hummed notes until the desired note
is produced from the speakers.
