Keyboard/Ensemble: Ensemble
This page lets you program the Ensemble function. This func-
tion harmonizes the right-hand melody by using the recognized
chords played by the left hand.
The Ensemble works both in the Style Play and the Song Play
modes. Chords are always recognized in the Lower Chord Scan
area.
Note: The Ensemble function only works when the keyboard is in
Split mode.
Ensemble
Harmonization type.
Duet Adds a single note to the melody.
Close Adds a closed-position chord to the melody.
Open 1 Adds an open-position chord to the melody.
Open 2 As the above, but with a different chord shape.
Block Block harmonization – very typical of jazz music.
Power Ensemble
Adds a fifth and an octave to the melody, as heard
in hard rock.
Third Up This option adds a third over the melody note
(depending on the recognized chord).
Fourths LO Typical of jazz, this option adds two perfect
fourths under the melody.
Fourths UP As the above, but with notes added over the mel-
ody.
Fifths This adds two fifths below the original note.
Octave Adds an octave to the melody.
Dual This option adds to the melody line a second
note, at a fixed interval set with the “Note”
parameter. When selecting this option, a transpo-
sition value appears (-24…+24 semitones to the
original note).
Brass Typical Brass section harmonization.
Reed Typical Reed section harmonization.
Trill When two notes are played on the keyboard, this
option trills them. If three or more notes are
played, only the last two are trilled. You can set
the trill speed by using the Tempo parameter (see
below).
Repeat The played note is repeated in sync with the
Tempo parameter (see below). When playing a
chord, only the last note is repeated.
Echo As the Repeat option, but with the repeated notes
fading away after the time set with the Feedback
parameter (see below).
AutoSplit1 If more than a single Upper track is in play, the
Upper 1 track plays the melody in mono, while
the other Upper tracks play the chord notes.
If only the Upper 1 track is in play, it plays poly-
phonically all the chord notes.
AutoSplit2 Similar to AutoSplit1, but the Upper 1 track
always plays the uppermost note.
Note Velocity
This parameter sets the velocity difference between the right-
hand melody and the added harmonization notes.
-10…0 Subtracted velocity value.
Temp o
Note: This parameter only appears when the Trill, Repeat or Echo
options are selected.
Note value for the Trill, Repeat or Echo Ensemble options. This
is in sync with the Metronome Tempo.
Feedback
Note: This parameter only appears when the Echo option is
selected.
This parameter sets how many times the original note/chord is
repeated by the Echo option.
