ON, the Sound assigned to the Lower keyboard track con-
tinues playing after releasing the keys; when OFF, the lower
sound stop instantly after key release. BASS TO LOWEST: when
On (LED on), the Bass track of the Style auto accompani-
ment follows the lowest left note of the chord played, allow-
ing real time changes of the bass accompaniment accord-
ing to the lowest note played. When Off, the bass track
follows the programmed pattern of the Style, regardless of
the chord inversion played.
3. STYLE GROUPS. Each button of the lower row corre-
sponds to a “bank” of items, comprising the Style “family”
groups (8 Beat, 16 Beat, etc.), the User Style groups (1 &
2), a Song Style group and a Song group. Each button of
the upper row selects an item (Style, User Style, Song Style
or Song) from the current Group.

switch from one Style Variation to another.

and stops a Style with a gradual increase or decrease of

A [ ]: recalls a Fill pattern then moves to the previous Vari-
ation. FILL IN [ ]: recalls a Fill pattern then continues with
the same variation. FILL IN B [ ] / TAP: Fill In B: pressed
during Style play recalls a Fill pattern then moves to the
next variation. Tap: sets the Style playing speed by tap-
ping on the button and starts the Style auto accompani-
ment automatically.

[ ] buttons select the MENU functions shown on the left of
the display and the DISK functions shown on the right. The
black arrowhead in the display points to the selected func-
tion. The PAGE [ ] and [ ] buttons pass from one function
page to another.
8. DISPLAY. A colored, backlit, LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)

provides access to several parameters. This user inter-
face displays the current situation of the instrument at all
times, showing the On/Off status of several panel buttons

form part of the display area and are explained in detail in
the relevant chapter further ahead.

Keyboard Activator
buttons activate (LED on) or mute (LED off) the respective
keyboard sections and, therefore, determine the configura-
