Digital Sampling
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.
Polyphony
The
term
polyphony
refers
to
the
maximum
number
of
notes
you
can
play
at
the
same
time.
This
keyboard
has
32-note
polyphony,
which
includes
the
notes
you
play
as
well
as
the
rhythms
and
auto-
accompaniment
patterns
that
are
played
by
the
keyboard.
This
means
that
when
a
rhythm
or
auto-
accompaniment
pattern
is
being
played
by
the
keyboard,
the
number
of
notes
(polyphony)
available
for
keyboard
play
is
reduced.
Also
note
that
some
of
the
tones
offer
only
16-note
polyphony.
@ About drum sounds

numbers
128
through
135
are
drum
sounds,
that
you
can use

drum
notes
on
the
keyboard.
When
you
select
one
of
these
tones,
the
display
shows
a
value
from

The
percussion
sounds
that
are
available
are
illustrated
on
the
keyboard’s
console.
Note
that
the
lower
7
keys
and
upper
16
keys
that
are
not
marked
do
not
produce
any
drum
sounds
when
pressed.

the

keys.
