NOTE
• When the [PIANO/OTHERS] button is pressed, Equal temperament is automatically selected.
• When you select Pure or Individual temperament mode, the Voice type using the FM tone generator is automatically selected.

Turn the hold function on to continue playing a note even after your
finger leaves the keyboard.
Press the
[HOLD] button to have the lamp light up and turn the hold
function on. When a note is continually played with the hold function,
pressing a different note on the keyboard will stop the previous sound
and start to continually play the sound for the newly pressed note.
To stop the sound being produced, press the [HOLD] button again and
turn the hold function off.
Use the
[OCTAVE] slider to select the octave of notes played with
the keyboard.
The relationship between the slider position and octave is as follows.
This function is used to match the keyboard sound to a transposing
instrument. With this function, you can play the sounds at the same
pitch as the transposing instrument by playing the keyboard, while
using the musical score written for the transposing instrument,
without having to transpose it to the score for the keyboard.
Press the [C]/[B

without moving the cursor.
