The ARRANGER options and how the Styles are affected
How a Style reacts to keyboard solicitations is also determined by the status of the
parameters in the ARRANGE function of the Edit section.
The Arranger parameters all relate to the left part of the keyboard in Style mode (below
the Chord Split), unless otherwise stated. Explanations of how to edit the displayed
parameters are found in the relevant section of the Edit Chapter.
Key Start: If “On”, the Style (Rhythm and Arrangements) starts by pressing a key
on the part of the manual dedicated to playing chords. If “Memory” is
“Off”, releasing the keys stops the Style
1
.
In default, Key Start is “Off”.
Chord Mode Provides three options: One Finger, Fingered and Free.
One Finger - recalls the principal chords in a simplified manner
2
. One note
plays a Major chord and other common chords (Minor, Diminished, Sev-
enth, Major Seventh) are provided by various two finger combinations - see
diagram in margin).
In default,, One Finger is “On”.
Fingered - provides for normal chord playing.
Free - “overrides” the Chord Split and allows Styles to be played by forming
chords anywhere on the keyboard. At least three notes must be pressed for
the Styles to play.
NB. The chords played are displayed in the “Chord box” of the main Style
display. Remember that in Edit Status, you can opt to change from English
to Italian chord notation and vice versa.
Bass Follow When “Off”, the automatic bass line follows the recorded pattern irre-
spective of the chords played.
If Bass Follow is “On”, you can change the course of an automatic bass
pattern in real time by changing the lowest note of the chord played. The
pattern recognises the lowest note in the first and second cycles of the Riff
and resumes normal playing on all subsequent cycles.
In default, Bass Follow is “Off”.
Example. Try with the Slow Waltz style: while the style is playing, hold
down the chord of C and, with the little finger, change the lowest note in
descending order. Listen to how the Bass pattern “follows” the lowest note
of the chord.
Autobacking Generally, in almost all electronic instruments that provide automatic
arrangements, quick chord changes sometimes create “gaps” in the pre-
