Splitting Keyboard Into 2, Using 3 sound.Sources in the Same Areas

0 Three sound sources can bs used to create complex vokes.As the range is wide, this method is especially suited forpiano sounds.This method is also effective with strings, brass, and voicesounds. An ensemble effect can be obtained by slightly off-setting the three pitches.

17Tape Interface

The MX73 is equipped with an input and output jack and tapeinterface functions making it possible to store the parametersset in the program memory on a cassette tape.
