KETRON EVM - Playing Lead Parts During a Style in Real Time

30 | 03 Playing with the styles
The EVM screen offers you a load of real-time information: do not hesitate to keep an eye
on it to have total mastery of the arranger section during your performances. See the
example at the beginning of this chapter.
Control each track
Pay attention to the HOLD key: if you activate it, the accompanying parts of the style
continue to play even when you lift your hands from the keyboard; otherwise, only the
rhythm part continues to play if HOLD is off.
From the point of view of volume levels, you can take advantage of sliders, while the STYLE
slider controls the overall volume of the style and is influenced by the parameter set in Style
Mode, the other sliders control the volume of specific individual style parts (DRUM, BASS,
CHORD, REAL CH) as on a traditional mixer.
EVM is a versatile real-time arranger; you can alternate (or even aggregate)
the CHORD and REAL CHORD tracks and activate a different rhythmic part by pressing
the VARI button. The same style can be used with countless interpretations, allowing you to
continuously vary the sound scenario on various occasions. The sky indeed is your limit!
Playing lead parts during a style in real time
We have seen above how to set the sounds for the parts to be played with the keyboard.
Here we do not want to repeat ourselves, but we do want to highlight how to take
advantage of this opportunity when performing and accompanying styles.
5 parts which you can play manually (in real time) are at your disposal (VOICE 1, VOICE2,
DRAWBAR, LOWER 1, LOWER 2, LOWER 3) and their relative volume sliders allow you to
control the volume levels of each of them, compared to the volume of the entire STYLE or
individual parts of the STYLE: each part has its own volume control slider for real time
adjustment during your performance.
