Overview

Front Panel

FULL (both LEDs On)

Chords are detected on the full keyboard range.

You must always play three or more notes to let

the arranger recognize a chord. (You can use this

mode even when the Split keyboard mode is

selected). The “Fingered” Chord Recognition

Mode is automatically selected (see “Chord Rec-

ognition” on page 252).

OFF No chords detected. After pressing START/STOP,

only the Drum and Percussion accompaniment

tracks will play.

SPLIT

In Style Play, Song Play and Sequencer-Backing Sequence mode,

use this button to define how the four Keyboard tracks are posi-

tioned on the keyboard, and how chords are recognized by the

arranger.

Note: One of the Chord Scan options must be selected for the

accompaniment to play.

On The Lower track plays below the split point, while

the Upper 1, Upper 2 and Upper 3 tracks play

above it. This is called the Split keyboard mode.

By default, turning on the Split mode automati-

cally selects the Lower chord scanning mode (see

above). In this mode, chords are detected below

the split point. The number of notes you should

play to form a chord is defined by the “Chord

Recognition” parameter (see page 252).

Off The Upper 1, Upper 2 and/or Upper 3 tracks play

over the whole keyboard range. The Lower track

does not play. This is also called the Full key-

board mode.

By default, turning off the Split mode automati-

cally selects the Full chord scanning mode (see

above). In this mode, chords are detected over the

full keyboard range. You must always play three

or more notes to let the arranger recognize a

chord (see “Chord Recognition” on page 252).

By keeping this button pressed for about one second, the

Split Point window appears. When there, play the new split point

on the keyboard.

Transpose Section

Use these buttons to transpose the Sounds.

UPPER OCTAVE

Use these buttons to transpose the Upper tracks in steps of one

whole octave (12 semitones; max ±3 octaves). The octave trans-

position value is always shown (in octaves) next to the Sound’s

name.

Press both buttons together, to reset the Octave Transpose to the

saved value.

– Lowers the selected track by one octave.

+ Raises the selected track by one octave.

You can jump to the Style Play > Mixer/Tuning > Tuning

page by keeping SHIFT pressed and pressing one of the UPPER

OCTAVE buttons. Hint: Go to the Tuning page to separately

transpose each track.

TRANSPOSE

These buttons transpose the whole instrument in steps of one

semitone (Master Transpose). The transpose value is usually

shown in the page header.

Press both buttons together, to reset the Master Transpose to zero.

Note: You can also transpose MP3 files. Keep in mind, however,

that transposition always remains inside the range -5…+6 semi-

tones. This range is enough to cover all keys, but allows to avoid

excessive audio degradation. Any further transposing will be

reversed to fit the range. So, you might see a +7 transpose value

(Just Fifth Up) shown in the display, but the MP3 will actually play

5 semitones lower (Just Fourth Down).

♭ Lowers the Master Transpose in steps of one

semitone.

♯ Raises the Master Transpose in steps of one semi-

tone.

You can jump to the Global > Tuning > Transpose Con-

trol page by keeping SHIFT pressed, and pressing one of the

TRANSPOSE buttons.

Performance Select Section

Use these buttons to select a Performance. Performances memo-

rize all Sounds assigned to the keyboard, most control panel set-

tings, and an associated Style.

MY SETTING

This is a special direct-access Performance, that is automatically

selected when the instrument is turned on. When pressing this

button, the Performance is immediately selected.

Keep this button pressed for about one second to save the

current settings into the My Setting Performance.

PERFORMANCE buttons

Use these buttons to open the Performance Select window, and

select a Performance.

Each Performance bank contains five pages, each with up to

eight Performances. Repeatedly press a PERFORMANCE button

to cycle between the available pages.

All Performances can be freely customized, by accessing the edit

pages of the Style Play and Song Play modes by pressing the

MENU button.

By keeping one of these buttons pressed for about one sec-

ond, the “Write Performance” dialog box will appear.
