Operation Manual

F5 Lower Mode: allows you to establish how the timbres assigned to Lower 1 and 2 will sound if the F1 and F2 Low Hold are activat-

ed and the LED of the HOLD button is on, while the Arranger is in Stop condition. The following conditions can be

selected pressing repeatedly the F5 function button:

Normal: the Lower timbres stop playing as soon as you release the notes on the keyboard part to the left of

the split point;

Bass + Lower: to the timbres of Lower also those of the bass of the Style are added, to underline the keynote

of the chord even while the Arranger is stopped. The timbres stop playing as soon as you release the notes

on the left to the splint point.

Off On Stop: The Lower timbres are muted and re-appear when the Arranger starts playing. This is a useful

function to set a chord for the Intro without hearing the notes played by the Lower parts. Activate this mode

if you frequently use the Intro together with Sync Start: you thus avoid to hear for a short instant the notes

of the chord played by Lower.

Hold Stop: the notes of the Lower part remain in Hold even after they are released on the keyboard.

F6 Bass Sust: the first of the two values possible, selected by pressing repeatedly the function push button F6, indicates the sus-

tain time of the bass timbre in the Bass + Lower mode which can be set using the VALUE +/- push buttons. The sec-

ond parameter establishes if the Manual Bass is to be polyphonic, maintaining the decay of the single chords, or

monophonic. The parameter is modified with the VALUE +/- buttons.

F7 Bas Octav: The parameter indicates the +/- transposition by two octaves of the bass timbre and is modified using the VALUE +/-

push buttons.

F8 Swell: If activated (√), the volume pedal controls only the timbres assigned to the Right section, whereas the volume of the

complete Arranger remains unvaried. This value is modified pressing repeatedly the F8 function button.

F9 Ped. Board: This function must be enabled by pressing the relevant function button in order to use the optional pedal board con-

trolling the arranger performance. For further information please see the section dedicated to the pedal-board.

F10 Bass To Pb: If a pedal-board is connected, activating this function with the relevant function button and with MANUAL BASS

enabled, the pedal-board allows you to play the bass timbre of the Style, independently from the Arranger, while on

the keyboard part to the left of the split point you may still play the Arranger chord.

ARRANGE MODE: SECOND PAGE

F1 Step Tempo: If selected with the relevant function button and modified with the VALUE +/- button, this allows you to establish the

value by which the Tempo is increased or decreased by each single press on the RIT ACC (TAP) button.

F2 AutoCrash: This function is enabled by default and generates a Crash sound at the end of each single Intro and Fill. Press the rel-

evant push button to disable it.

F3 Sync Time: This can be modified using the VALUE +/- buttons and allows you to define after how many milliseconds exactly the

Arranger continues playing with the SYNC STOP button activated and the chord played. If a chord is played for a peri-

od of time that is shorter than the value set, KEY STOP terminates the execution of the Style. In those musical styles

requiring quick intervals (like for the Tango) values around 150 milliseconds are recommended, in the slower ones like

the 16 Beats a value of about 500 or 600 milliseconds are recommended. Pressing the push buttons VALUE +/- togeth-

er, you restore the standard value of 250 milliseconds.

F4 Lower Lock: Activating this, the Lower timbres remain those in use, even if you pass on to different Styles.

F5 Bass Lock: Activating this, the Bass timbre remains the one in use, even if you pass on to different Styles.

F6 Chord Mode: Pressing repeatedly the F6 function button modifies the chord acknowledgement mode, choosing among the follow-

ing four possibilities:
