Operation Manual

KEY STOP/STYLE REMIX PLAY 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 a chord that is longer than the above mentioned value is played, 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. When

in Song Play mode, this push button is used to select the drum track of the Style for the Remix function.

FILL 1, 2, 3 If one of these three push buttons are pressed while the Arranger is in use, one or a number of Fill-Ins will be

played. If the JUMP FILL function of the Left Control menu is activated, the FILL 1 and FILL 2 push buttons

enable the next variation of the style. The FILL 3 push button will move the style being played back to the pre-

vious variation.

BREAK This is used to add a Break beat at the end of which the Arranger will start to play again.

TAP If you tap on this button with a set frequency two times, the VEGA determines the tempo value automatically

(based on how quickly or slowly you were tapping on this button) and uses this new tempo for the arranger

or sequence to be played. The playback of the arranger or sequence will start provided they were in stop or

standby mode prior to tapping on the TAP button. The Tap tempo also can function even if the style is running.

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.

HOLD When the LED is on the last chord played to the left of the Split point on the keyboard is memorised and kept

active driving the Arranger which carries on playing normally even after the left hand is taken off the keys.

This chord is held as the harmonic 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 accom-

paniment will only work as long as the chord is held down on the keyboard, but the drum tracks will continue

to play regardless.

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 calling up another Style with a dif-

ferent Tempo cannot modify it. 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.

A, B, C, D Each of these push buttons corresponds to a variation of the style, from the most simple to the most complex.

Further to these push buttons, also Jump Fill in the Left Control menu can be used to move forward or back

between the variations.

INTRO 1, 2, 3 (REMIX SELECT, DRUM MIXER, DRUM&BASS) If one of these three push buttons is pressed while the Arranger

is stopped an Intro is enabled, of which there are three with varying complexity. If one of these three push but-

tons is pressed while the Arranger is playing, an Ending is enabled with three available variations having dif-

ferent levels of complexity. If the Jump Fill push button is enabled and an Intro push button is pressed, the

Intro selected will be played. While in Song Play mode, the three pushbuttons enable the Remix functions to

be controlled on the piece of music being played.
