Playing with Styles—Setting Up
• When the [ACMP] button is off and the LEFT part is on:
• When both the [ACMP] button and the LEFT part are on:
Multi Assign
The Multi Assign effect automatically assigns the notes of chords you play on the right-
hand section of the keyboard to separate parts (Voices). For example, if you play a three-
note chord, the first note you press is played by the RIGHT 1 Voice, the second by the
RIGHT 2 Voice, and the third by the RIGHT 3 Voice. The Multi Assign effect is not
affected by the [ACMP] and LEFT part on/off status.
Echo Category (Echo, Tremolo, Trill)
The Echo, Tremolo or Trill effect is applied to the note played in the right-hand section of
the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo, regardless of the [ACMP] and the LEFT
part on/off status. Keep in mind that Trill works only when you hold down two notes on the
keyboard simultaneously (or the last two notes, if more than two notes are held), and it
plays those notes alternately.
Using Arpeggio
1 Call up the operation display.
[MENU] [Kbd Harmony/Arp]
2 Set the Keyboard Harmony/Arpeggio function to “On.”
When this is set to “On,” Keyboard Harmony is applied to your keyboard perfor-
mance automatically.
3 Touch to select a category other than “Harmony” or “Echo.”
4 Touch the desired Arpeggio type.
Touching (detailed settings) calls up the detailed settings popup window. For
more information, refer to the Reference Manual on the web site.
