the Arranger which carries on playing normally even after the left hand is taken off the keys.. This chord is held as the har-
monic basis of all the Arranger parts until a new chord is actually played below the split point which the Arranger follows by
changing the parts to suit. If the LED is switched off, the accompaniment will only work as long as the chord is held down
on the keyboard, but the drum tracks will continue to play regardless.
START When pressed it starts to play the automatic accompaniment. If START is pressed while the Arranger is already playing then
everything is stopped, in other words it acts as a Stop push button.
SLOW This decreases the Tempo value of the Arranger or of the Sequencer.
FAST This increases the Tempo value of the Arranger or of the Sequencer. By pressing SLOW and FAST together at the same time,
the Tempo value is locked (marked by an asterisk) so that it cannot be modified by calling up another Style with a different
Tempo. To disable this locking, press SLOW and FAST together at the same time . To restore the default Tempo of the style
press PAGE + and PAGE – together at the same time.
COUNT/PAUSE RESTART
With the Arranger stopped, COUNT adds a Count In beat where a stick beats the crotchets. If an INTRO has also been
pressed before COUNT with the JUMP push button enabled, the Intro chosen will be enabled at the end of the count. With
the Arranger running, pressing this push button returns immediately to the first beat of the bar, regardless of on which beat
of any bar it is pressed. This may prove very useful when backing a singer whose timing is all over the place! When work-
ing with the Sequencer (SEQUENCER LED lit), this push button sets the playback to stand-by until the COUNT/PAUSE
RESTART push button is pressed again
LOCK This calls up the Lock and Interactive Arranger page. It is possible to select which accompaniment tracks among Drums, Bass
and Orchestra, situated to the left of the display, will not change voices and rhythm, so that the tracks of one style can be
combined freely with those of another. It is also a quick way of playing back a style with the voices of another style and thus
creating endless variations on any Style. When the Interactive Arrange (F10) function is enabled the player can choose
which of the automatic accompaniment tracks set to ‘ On’ among 2, 3, 4 and 5 will not be played when at least one key of
the Right section of the keyboard is pressed. The tracks will start playing again on the following beat, if no note of the Right
section is played. Thus it is possible to directly control the status of the tracks from the lead.
KEY START When the LED is lit and the Arranger is stopped, this push button is used to start the accompaniment when a note to the left
of the split point on the keyboard is played. If an INTRO or a FILL is selected, as soon as a chord is played that Intro or Fill-
In of the style will start. To control the performance of the Lower section, namely the manual voices for the left hand, the
player must access the ARRANGE MODE menu where these Lower voices can be disabled when the Arranger is not run-
ning. This makes it possible to mute the Lower voices if you wish to play a chord silently below the split-point before the
Arranger is started.
KEY STOP When the LED is lit it stops the Arranger performance if a very short note or chord is played. It is restarted if another one
or even the same one is played. If the note or the chord is held down for longer than a quarter note, the Arranger continues
to play. With the Arranger stopped, KEY STOP is used to restart it by playing a chord that is longer than the time set in Sync
Time in the Arrange Mode menu. If a FILL or an INTRO has been selected, with the Arranger stopped and playing a chord
that is longer than the above mentioned value, the whole FILL or the INTRO will be played, whereas if the chord is very short,
the Arranger will stop immediately. If the KEY START LED is lit, as soon as the player takes his hand off the left part of the
split point, the Arranger stops and starts again as soon as a note or a chord is played on the part of the keyboard to the left
of the split point
.
TAP By playing crotchets on this push button at the required tempo, this can be set as the Tempo to be used by the Arranger
and the sequencer .Provided they are in stop or standby mode, once the Tempo has been established the playback will start.
When the Arranger and Sequencer are running, the push button is used to increase the Tempo in steps of five points each
time it is pressed (Accelerando). By holding the TAP push button down, the Accelerando is reversed (this can be seen by
the direction of the arrow) thus decreasing the Tempo in steps of five each time it is pressed (Ritardando).
FADE IN/OUT With the Arranger running, it generates a fade out, in other words taking the volume of all the sections, including the Right
section, from the current value to zero. With the Arranger stopped it generates a fade in, in other words taking the volume
of all the sections from zero to the set volume. When pressed repeatedly it will not generate abrupt volume variations.
