Perform Using Various Sounds

The HPi-6F lets you perform using piano sounds as well as a wide variety (more than 300 types) of other sounds.

Each of these sounds is called a “tone.” The tones are organized into four groups, and these groups are assigned to the four tone buttons.

Let’s start by playing a piano tone. When you turn on the power, “Grand Piano 1” will be automatically selected.

1. Press the [Piano] button.

A tone list screen will appear. It shows the number and name of the currently selected tone.

Tone

Use the cursor buttons to

select a tone.

[O] button

When the tone list screen is shown, you can

press the [O] button to hear a phrase that

uses the selected tone. The phrase will play

to the end, then stop automatically. You can

stop the phrase before it ends by pressing

the [O] button once again.
