In addition to selecting tones and Music Library tunes, you also can use the FUNCTION button in combination with the keyboard keys to configure effect, keyboard touch, and other settings.

-
Use the “Parameter List” on pages E-23 - E-25 to find the setting you want to configure, and note its details.
-
Use “Keyboard Keys Used for Configuring Settings” on page E-22 to find the location on the keyboard for configuring the setting you want.

NOTE
• You can configure the digital piano so no operation tone sounds in step 3. For details, see “bt Operation tone” under “Parameter List” on pages E-23 - E-25.
Keyboard Setting Operation Types
There are four types of operations that you can perform while configuring settings with the keyboard keys: Type A, Type B, Type C, and Type D.
Type A: Direct input
Example: Pressing the STRINGS keyboard key to select the STRINGS 1 tone
Type B: Raising or lowering a setting using the + and - or and keyboard keys

Type D: Toggling or cycling through settings by pressing a keyboard key
• When you press a key, the digital piano will beep to let you know which setting is selected.
• A long beep indicates that the applicable setting is turned off.
Example: While reverb is turned off, pressing the Reverb keyboard key twice will cause the digital piano to beep twice, which indicates that the Small Hall setting is selected.
