Recording Your Performance
You can record one Song on the instrument. Since the settings such as the Voices to use cannot be changed once recording starts, make the
settings according to your preferences beforehand.
Deleting a Recorded Song
NOTICE • If a previously recorded Song already exists, the [PLAY] button is lit. Recording another Song while the [PLAY] button is lit deletes the previously recorded Song.
• After recording, be sure to turn off the power using [ ] (Standby/On). Note that if the power is turned off abruptly (for example, if the adaptor is disconnected;
page 17), the recorded Song data will be erased.

Damper Resonance When turned on, this produces a resonance effect that
simulates the special resonance of the soundboard and
strings of an acoustic piano when its damper pedal is
pressed.
See page 11 for a list of Voices to which this
effect is applied. To use the pedal when you play,
you must connect an appropriate pedal (sold
separately; see page 23). When you press the
connected pedal, the sound will lengthen and
reverberate (SUSTAIN effect); and Damper
Resonance is also applied if that effect is on.

B3 Off
Touch Sensitivity* You can specify the degree of touch sensitivity (how the
sound responds to your playing strength).
Touch Sensitivity is not applied to the Organ
Principal, Organ Tutti, Jazz Organ, Harpsichord
8′, and Harpsichord 8′+4′ Voices.
Medium C4 Soft: The volume level does not change much when you play the
keyboard soft or hard.
C♯4 Medium: This is the standard piano touch response.
D4 Hard: The volume level changes very widely from pianissimo to
fortissimo to facilitate dynamic and dramatic expression. You
have to hit the keys hard to produce a loud sound.
D♯4 Fixed: The volume level does not change at all regardless of
whether you play the keyboard soft or hard.
Octave Shift You can shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down
in octave steps.
Setting range: –3 to +3
When in Dual mode, you can set this function in
addition to the Octave Shift for Voices 1 and 2
(page 13).
