These sounds are called Tones. The Tones are divided into eight Groups. Each Group also comes with many Variations, letting you choose just the Tone you want for your song. Using the full keyboard of an electronic piano to play the RA-30's Tones without using the RA-30's Arranger function is called "Tone Play." In this section we'll take a look at how to perform Tone Play. Getting Ready for Tone Play 1. Press the Keyboard button in the One Touch pair. The button's indicator lights up. The indicator on the Keyboard button among the Tone Group buttons also Tights up, and the sound of the electronic piano is selected. Play the keyboard and make sure that you can hear the electronic piano. * If you can't hear the electronic piano, the piano is set to the wrong MIDI channel. See "After the Power Is On..." (p.12). * If you're using an acoustic piano or if you have connected an instrument such as a MIDI accordion, then no sound is played while the Keyboard button for Tone Group is illuminated. You need to move on to the next step (“How to Choose a Tone Group"). • How to Choose a Tone Group 2. Press any one of the Tone Group buttons, and confirm that its indicator has lighted. Now you can play Tones from the Group which has its button lighted. Play the keyboard to check the sound of the RA-30. * If you're using an acoustic piano, the two octaves where the KP-24 is located are the range for Tone Play. No Tone will sound if you play a key outside this range. If you want to change the pitch of a Tone, you should use the Octave Shift function. See "Changing the Pitch (Register) of a Tone by Octaves” (p. 42). • How to Choose a Tone Variation Each Tone Group has a large number of Tone Variations. These sound similar but have distinctive characteristics, giving you a selection to choose from for your performances. 3. Use the Tone Select up/down buttons to choose a Tone Variation. The indicator for the Tone Group button flashes, and the Group number and Variation number for the Tone you've selected appear in the display. 21 Chapter 3 Let's Play!
