4 Play the keyboard or Pedalboard to hear the Voice for the desired
part.
5 Select Voices for the other parts by repeating steps 1 to 4.
You can confirm the Voice name for each part and its volume on the Main display
called up by pressing the [EXIT] button.
6 Play the keyboard and Pedalboard by combining the Voices
selected for each part.
If necessary, adjust the volume of the desired part by using the VOLUME
buttons.
Holding the Lower Keyboard Voice (Lower Voice Hold)
By turning on the Lower Voice Hold function, the Lower Keyboard Voice is maintained (held) even when the
keys are released. Non-decaying Voices such as strings are held continuously, while decay-type Voices
such as piano decay more slowly (as if the sustain pedal has been pressed).
This function can be used, for example, for more natural performance when you play along with Style
playback (page 44) since the sound of the chord matching Style playback is maintained.
1 Call up the operation display.
[MENU] Cursor buttons [U][D][L][R] Keyboard, [ENTER]
2 Press one of the [3]/[4] (Lower Voice Hold) buttons to turn on/off the Lower Voice Hold
function.
If a Style or Song is played back, the Lower Keyboard Voice which is sounding stops when Style or Song
playback stops.
NOTE
If you change the Voice while
pressing keys, the Voice of the
previously played note is
maintained and the changed
Voice will sound from the next
played note.
NOTE
You can save the Voice
selection, on/off setting and
Volume setting for each part to
Registration Memory (page 85)
for future recall.
Voice Types (Characteristics)
There are various Voice types, and some types as described below
require special performance considerations. These particular types
have an indication above the Voice name on the Voice Selection display or the Main display. For more
explanations, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.
• S.Art (Super Articulation)
Super Articulation Voices recreate special note-transition techniques characteristically used in acoustic
instrument performance, such as staccato, legato and slur. For details, see page 37.
• Organ Flutes
Organ Flutes Voices let you recreate a variety of vintage organ sounds by adjusting the flute footage levels and
the percussive sounds, just like on conventional organs. For details, see page 38.
• Drums
Drum Voices let you play various drums and percussion instruments which are assigned to each key. For
details on the Key assignments, refer to the “Drum/Key Assignment List” in the Data List on the website.
