Yamaha P-45 user manual

You can change the sound on your Yamaha P45 by following the steps given below:
1. Power on your Yamaha P45 keyboard by pressing the "STANDBY/ON" switch. Make sure it's properly connected to a power source.
2. Click on the "Function/Grand Piano" button, located on the left side of the keyboard’s interface, near the middle.
3. Now, keep pressing the function button until you reach the Sound or Voice option you want. The keyboard can produce the sound of two grand pianos, electric piano, other piano types, organ, strings, vibraphone, and harpsichord.
4. To select the sound option you desire, press any of the keyboard's C1 to A1 keys (first white key on the left to the ninth white key) while still holding down the "Function" button. Each of these keys represents a different instrument or sound.
5. Release the function button and the chosen instrument's light will stay lit or flash, showing the chosen sound has been activated.
6. The new setting will now be in effect. Test the new sound setting by playing a few keys to confirm if it is the desired sound or not.
Remember, the instrument settings will revert to the default grand piano sound when you turn off the keyboard. So, you will need to do the process again if you want to change the sound in your future playing sessions.
