32 | 03 Playing with the styles
EVENT-X allows you to set the Tempo in beats per minute (BPM), from 65 to 250.
• POPUP FIX: If not used, the window disappears after five seconds: if you want to keep
it opened longer, press POPUP FIX.
• TEMPO: This is the current BPM.
• TEMPO UNLOCKED/LOCKED: In cases where you change the accompaniment style
while playing on the fly, the new style starts playing with the default tempo of the
new style (UNLOCKED) or with the tempo of the previous one (LOCKED). If the
LOCKED parameter is active, the time in the style frame is marked with an asterisk.
This is great when you have folks on the dannce floor and you want to go from
song/style to song/style, while maintaining the same tempo.
• ACC: Speed up the time progressively until you press the same button again.
• RIT. : It activates the Delay typical of song endings. To stop the progressive delay,
press this button again. However, it does not go lower than 40 BPM.
• TAP: Press the TAP TEMPO button to start the accompaniment style after tapping
the TAP button to the time: 3, 4 or 6 taps are required depending on the timing of the
style.
Harmony with Sounds
By activating the HARMONY function via the dedicated panel button, the instrument adds
harmonic parts to the notes played with the right hand, based upon the chord played in the
LOWER part (left of the split point). The result is a more full-bodied sound thanks to a series
of harmonic intervals within the sound that you are using in the VOICE1 or VOICE 2 parts.
This option has no effect for sounds that have not been configured. Several types of
harmonization are available: it's all explained in the Harmony paragraph of this manual.
