Bs _G NOTE • Always input all three digits for the tone number, including leading zeros (if any). • You can also increment the displayed tone number by pressing [+] and decrement it by pressing [-]. • When one of the drum sets is selected (tone numbers 500 through 515), each keyboard key is assigned a different percussion sound. See page A-12 for details. Polyphony The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes you can play at the same time. The 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 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 10-note polyphony. Digital Sampling 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. Changing Tones and Configuring DSP Effect Settings This keyboard has only a single DSP sound source. Because of this, selecting tones for which DSP is enabled for multiple parts when layering or splitting tones (page E-74, 75) can cause conflicts. To avoid conflicts, DSP is allocated to the last DSP enabled tone, and DSP is disabled (DSP line OFF) for all other parts. DSP line is a parameter that controls whether or not the currently selected DSP effect is applied to a part.* Each tone has a DSP line parameter. Selecting a tone for a part applies the tone's DSP line parameter setting to all parts. * The DSP line parameter is turned on (DSP effect is applied) for the 300 Advanced Tones numbered 000 through 299, and turned off (DSP effect not applied) for the 200 preset tones from 300 to 499. For information about other tones, see "Tone Types" on page E-22. 735A-E-025A WK3100_e_10-25.p65 23 04.3.26, 0:10 PM E-23
