Press F4 – Arrange Mode and then F10 to select this function.
Press Page > to proceed to Page 2 of the Arrange Mode menu:
Set Tempo: this function allows you to carry out a metronomic tempo advancing in pre-establi-
shed steps. To have access to this function, press F 1 and to choose the furtherance value, use the
Value buttons. Every time you press the Page <> buttons, you speed up or slow down the Tempo
according to the pre-established furtherance value (by default: 5).
AutoCrash: this parameter (F 2) cuts out the automatic Crash Cymbal usually played at the end of
the Fill Ins and Intros of the Styles.
Sync Time: stand-by time control in the Stop Key function before the keys may be released.
(See Start Key / Stop Key functions). The value is changed using the Value + / - keys.
Lower Lock / Bass Lock: these 2 functions (F 4 – F
5) are used to block the voice of the 2 Lower sec-
tions and Bass, so that these remain
unaltered when switching over from one Style to
another.
Chord Mode: with these functions (F 6) you can activate
the selection of the 3 different modes of operation for the
automatic chord recognition: Fingered, Easy 1, Easy 2.
When the Fingered mode is inserted (F 6), the chords
will execute an accompaniment based on the notes that have effectively been played. Therefore, for
example, if you press just two keys, instead of the complete chord you will obtain an accompaniment
made up of just two notes. In Easy 1 mode, the chord recognition is instantly adapted based on the
notes played or released on the keyboard. In Easy 2 mode, the chord recognition is based exclusively
on the notes added. If you remove some notes from the chord previously set (without playing a new
one), the Arranger does not undergo any variations.
Pianist Sustain: this parameter is used to enable or otherwise the Sustain control when the Pianist
effect is enabled. (See Pianist function).
Retrigger & Mode: this menu contains the group of Retrigger functions and the selection of the
Close/Parallel mode for the Bass and the Chords. Press key F8 to gain access to this menu.
Retrigger. The Retrigger on Bass and Chord is enabled using keys F 2, F3, F4, F6, F7, F8.
The Retrigger function consists of the fact that each time a chord is changed the Bass plays the
fundamental note of the chord at all times.
Close/Parallel: this function is used to establish whether the Automatic Chord must play in Close
or Parallel mode. Using Cursor < > the chord is selected and using SELECT the option may be
selected.In Close mode the Chord adapts to the tone changes with close inversions according to
the rules of the musical harmony. In Parallel mode the chord is simply transposed from C to B
without altering the musical intervals of the notes of which it is made up. Press Escape to return
to Page 2 of Arrange mode.
Dynamic Arranger: controls the dynamics assigned to the individual Arranger sections.
To gain access to the function press key F 9 – Dyn. Arr (on page 2 of the Arrange Mode menu).
Active - Inactive : F10 is pressed in order to activate or deactivate the Dynamic Arranger. This function is
on when Active is selected. The Dynamic Arranger value is usually set to 32 for each section, corre-
sponding to 50% of the maximum value available (63). Lower values will produce a feeble variation of
the Arranger parts between low and high dynamics, whereas higher values will produce a much more
evident variation.The value is modified pressing the Value +/e keys.
Reverb Lock: : this function (F 10) is used to lock the type of Reverberation relating to the Style cur-
rently selected, so that it remains active even if new Styles are selected. In this way, the reverberation
remains locked, even upon the execution of a Midifile containing a different reverberation.
