bars of the Intro selected and to continue playing the currently activated Arrange.

F7 Lock Drum: This makes it possible to lock the Drum Set change independently from which Arrangement has been chosen, within

the same Style. This means that when you change from one Arrangement to another, this section will remain unalte-

red. If this function is activated while switching over to another Style, the previous settings will be maintained with

the sounds of the Style selected, i.e. also the Style selected last will have one or more accompaniment tracks identi-

cal for all Arrangements.

F8 Lock Bass: The same as for

LLoocckk DDrruumm

, but dedicated to the Bass track.

F9 Lock Chord: The same as for

LLoocckk DDrruumm

, but dedicated to the Chord 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 parts.

F10 Swing Bass: This is the operating mode for the Automatic Bass that always and instantly plays the fundamental note of the chord

acknowledged even if the player is too early or too late compared to the rhythmic pattern. This function proves extre-

mely useful if the chord changes frequently, during which the Bass must follow the pitch change with precision.

ARRANGE MENU MODE

From the main display page you gain access to the control of the different Arranger functions by pressing

FF44 AArrrraannggee MMooddee

. The functions are

listed on two pages that can be accessed using the

PPAAGGEE ++//--

buttons. The parameters are assigned to the relevant function buttons. The modi-

fications carried out on the different parameters are valid for all the Styles but are not permanently stored. If you also wish to call up these

modifications later on, you need to save them within a Registration. The parameters set in Arrange Mode are valid for all Styles until a new

Registration is called up (although a registration can be programmed to either affect or not affect the arranger mode settings).

ARRANGE MODE: FIRST PAGE

F1 Low 1 Hold: pressing repeatedly the function push button

FF11

activa-

tes the storage of the notes played with

LLoowweerr 11

while

the Arranger is playing. In this way you will still hear the

notes played with

LLoowweerr 11

on the left to the split point

of the keyboard, even after you have stopped playing

them.

HHoolldd

LLoowweerr 11

is activated by default, since

usually a strings or pad voice is used.

F2 Low 2 Hold: the same as

FF11 LLooww 11 HHoolldd

, but dedicated to the second

sound assigned to

LLoowweerr 22 HHoolldd

LLoowweerr 22

is disabled

by default, since usually a piano type voice is used.

F3 Off Stop:

The

LLoowweerr

sounds are muted if the Arranger is Stopped

and the sounds are heard again when the Arranger starts playing. This function is most useful to set a chord for the

Intro without hearing the notes played by the

LLoowweerr

parts. Activate this if you often use the Intro with the

SSyynncc SSttaarrtt

thus you avoid hearing (for a very short period of time) the notes of the chords played in the

LLoowweerr

section. This mode

is different from what is offered in

FF55 LLOOWWEERR MMOODDEE

NNoottee

: If the LOWER MODE Is set to 'HOLD STOP', Off stop Is automatically de-activated.

F4 Lower Mute: This function mutes the Lower voice.

F5 Lower Mode: This allows you to establish how the voices assigned to

LLoowweerr 11

and

will sound if the

FF11

and

FF22 LLooww HHoolldd

are activa-

ted and the LED of the

HHOOLLDD

button is on, while the Arranger is in Stop condition. The following conditions can be

selected pressing repeatedly the F5 function button:

Normal: the

LLoowweerr

sounds stop playing as soon as you release the notes on the keyboard part to the left of

the split point;

BBaassss ++ LLoowweerr::

to the timbres of

LLoowweerr

also those of the bass of the Style are added, to underline the keyno-

te 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 split point.

HHoolldd SSttoopp::

the notes of the

LLoowweerr

part remain in

HHoolldd

even after they are released on the keyboard - they are

sustained indefinitely.

BBaassss ++ LLoowweerr HHoolldd SSttoopp::

This is the combination of the operating modes mentioned previously.

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

FF66

, indicates the sustain

time of the bass sound which can be set using the

DDAATTAA CCUURRSSOORR

push buttons. The second parameter establishes if

the

MMaannuuaall BBaassss

is to be polyphonic, maintaining the decay of the single chords, or monophonic. The parameter is

modified with the

DDAATTAA CCUURRSSOORR

buttons.

F7 Bass Boost: This is used to increase or decrease the level of the lower frequencies of the audio range, to boost or reduce them

according to the amplification system. The default value suggested by the manufacturer Is 'No Boost'.
