drum and groove variations and drum riffs). Variations can also be applied to chords
3, 4 and 5, and configuring this is possible on the Settings page. The Variation for
Grooves 1 and 2 is displayed on the first DRUMS (Groove Variation On/Off) page.
• REAL DRUM VARIAT.: When ENABLED, this allows you to activate the rhythmic
variation associated with the VARI key; when DISABLED, rhythmic variation is not
allowed, even if the VARI button is active.
• ORCH. VARIAT. MORPHING: This is a new feature in the world of arrangers which
allows you to quickly switch from one sound to another in a gradual way with
interpolation of the sound (morphing) in the accompanying parts; for example, it
allows you to switch from an organ sound with a slow Leslie effect to a fast one. You
can choose whether to activate Morphing by using AFTERTOUCH, using the optional
SUSTAIN pedal or whether to disable it all together.
• INTRO MODE: This determines what interuptions can be applied to the INTRO of
styles when playing.
o If the value is set to NOT STOPPED BY A, B, C, D , then as the INTRO of
the style plays (typically more noticable with INTRO 2 and INTRO 3
which have a longer number of measures), they always finish playing
completley before the style moves on to play one of the ABCD
variations.
o If the value is set to STOPPED BY A, B, C, D then by simply pressing any
of the variations while the INTRO plays (ABC or D), the INTRO is
imemdiately interupted and the style immediately starts to play the
variation that has been activated
o INTO TO ARR A: When turned on, this means that when you press one
of the INTRO keys, the arranger automatically sets variation A as the
next variation to play once the INTRO is complete, regardless of
which Variation was selected on the panel prior to starting the style.
• FILL MODE: Determining when a FILL in is played. Trigger fills with minimum button
pushing while you focus on playing.
o AUTO: with AUTO turned on, every time you change the ABC or D
variation, the arranger inserts a FILL measure (some styles have a
specific pattern for each target variation, others have one for ABCD).
This property can be saved in a CUSTOM STARTUP.
o FILL/BREAK TO ARRANGE: by pressing the FILL button on the panel,
the arranger plays the next variation immedately the FILL has been
played (e.g. if you are playing variation A, the arranger plays the FILL
and then immediately switches to variation B ... if playing B, then onto C
... and so on until D, then returns to A automatically).
o AFTERTOUCH: activates the FILL when you apply more pressure on the
keys when changing chords.
o FILL: as an alternative to the DEFAULT usage, you can set it up such that
one of the FILLS (1, 2, 3 or 4) directly activates TO END, i.e. the particular
FILL (when pressed) will lead directly to the instant ending of the style. It
