NOTICE This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. [. . . ] For example, BASS/PIANO (tone 90) puts BASS on the left and PIANO on the right of the keyboard. <Example> BASS/PIANO (No. 90) Digital Sampling BASS PIANO 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. E-16 640A-E-018C Polyphony The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes you can play at the same time. This keyboard has 12-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 autoaccompaniment 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 6-note polyphony. · When rhythm or auto accompaniment is playing, the number of sounds simultaneously played is reduced. · Though you can sound up to 12 notes at one time, only the last four keyboard keys pressed light up. <Keys and their indicators> Key : Display : Trans (­) Trans (+) F# G A A B B C C# D E E F : Pressing : Pressing <Note Names> C D E F G A B C NOTE · If you leave the transpose screen on the display for about five seconds without doing anything, the screen is automatically cleared. · You cannot change the transpose setting while the keyboard is in the Song Bank Mode. · In step 2 of the above operation, you could also use the number buttons 0 to 5 to specify C through F. · Pressing both of the TEMPO buttons ( / ) at the same time returns the transpose setting to C(0). · The transpose setting is automatically set to C(0) whenever you turn keyboard power on. · The transpose setting is automatically set to C(0) whenever you press the SONG BANK button. · The pitch of a transposed note depends on the tone you are using.
