DRUM MIXER For each drum set Ketron has grouped the percussion sounds together in ten categories that can be selected using the F1-

F10 function push buttons. When a category is ticked (✓), the percussion instruments related to it will play and vice versa

their volume will be muted (Mute function). The purpose of the Drum Mixer is that of being able to create new rhythm com-

binations by simply Muting some percussion instruments. It proves especially useful in Southern-American rhythms and in

dance. Drum Mixer also works for the sampled grooves, enabling an exceptionally unique realistic and handy rhythm.

MANUAL DRUM When the LED is lit the single instruments that make up a drum set can be played right along the whole keyboard, with the

automatic disabling of the Right and Lower sections. The volume is controlled by the DRUM VOLUME push buttons. If

MANUAL DRUM is enabled while playing a style, with acknowledged chord, the arrangement and bass tracks will continue

to play according to the chord acknowledged. MANUAL DRUM does not disable the Drum tracks of the style.

AFTERTOUCH

When the LED is lit the modulation of a timbre parameter is enabled, which can be programmed by pressing the key played again.

OCTAVE When the LED is lit, the Right section is transposed by one Octave lower, or rather the lead of the right hand. The transpo-

sition direction can be changed by pressing the push button twice consecutively with the LED flashing.

PORTAMENTO When the LED is lit, the Portamento is enabled, namely the sliding from one to another note, the time of which can be pro-

grammed.

HARMONY When the LED is lit it enables and allows the selection of one of the 10 different harmonies to be assigned to the lead accor-

ding to the chord played on the left part of the split point. Each of these automatically cuts out the others. The Speed para-

meter is related to the Repeat mode, namely the repetition of the lead notes.

ON LINE EFFECT A number of modulation effects can be attributed to the Right section, together with the Reverb and standard chorus. The

On Line Effect page is used to enable up to four modulation effects simultaneously and also to control the effects that will

process the microphone input, the parameters of which can be called up using the F10 MICRO EDIT push button. The LED

of the ON LINE EFFECT push button will light up when the microphone input signal is too high and could therefore be distor-

ted in the pre-amplification stage.

SOUND LOAD This is used to enable a short-cut for loading new sampled sounds from hard disk, for a maximum of sixteen MB’s, directly

from the Master Folder, the LED of which will light up automatically when the SOUND LOAD push button is pressed. To load

.WAV or .MSP samples, select F8 Dir WAV which gives access to the dedicated folder. To return to .INS samples, select F9 Dir

INSTRUM to load single files, or using F9 again, select Dir Block to load groups of single .INS files in one go.

THE PUSH BUTTONS REQUIRED TO CONTROL THE ARRANGER

The bottom row of the control panel is almost entirely dedicated to controlling the Arranger in real time. From left to right you will see:

JUMP When the LED is lit it is used to move onto other variations of the style using the Fill In’s and is used to exploit the Intro’s in

a song that has already been started.

MANUAL BASS When the LED is lit the bass track of the style can be played manually.

BASS TO LOWEST When the LED is lit the bass note relative to the style is always the first of the chord played. This means that some songs

can be played without altering the bass lead structure.

BASS TO ROOT When the LED is lit the notes of the bass track of the style maintain all the crucial notes of the chord tonality. It can be used

in association with Manual Bass.

INTRO 1, 2, 3

If one of these three push buttons is pressed while the Arranger is stopped an Intro is enabled, of which there are three levels

of complexity. If one of these three push buttons is pressed while the Arranger is playing, an Ending is enabled with three lev-

els of complexity. If the LED of the JUMP push button is lit and an Intro push button is pressed, the Intro selected will be played.

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-In beats will be enabled.

If the LED of the JUMP push button is lit and the FILL 1 and 2 push buttons are pressed, the next variation of the style will

be enabled. The FILL 3 push button will move the style being played back to the previous variation. If one of the three FILL

push buttons are held down for a while, the Arranger will cyclically play Fill In 1, 2 and 3 one after the other until the push

button is released (Multi Fill).

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

by holding it down.

TO END In the case of “emergency” this push button ends whatever the Arranger is playing within one beat. It is a third very short

Ending.
