o REAL CHORD TO BREAK: You can decide whether or not to keep the track
of the REAL CHORD playing when the BREAK is played or not.
• CHORD MODE: Once enabled, the preferred chord fingering type can be set. Keep
in mind that, in PIANIST mode, chord recognition takes place over the entire
keyboard, otherwise, the chords will be recognized only with the part played to the
left of the split point. Here are the various Chord modes explained better -
o EASY1: The major chord is obtained by playing only the tonic note. With
the tonic plus the minor third you get the minor chord. With the tonic plus
the seventh you get the seventh chord. Of course, it is always possible to
play the full chords as well in this mode.
o EASY2: This is similar to EASY1, except for it keeps in memory all the notes
of the previously pressed chord, even if one note or more than one is
released. This is the default setting, and you can of course change it.
o EASY3: This is similar to EASY1, except for it transforms the notes of
LOWER into One Finger Chord. Great for those who are just introduced into
the Arranger world or when giving Arranger Keyboard lessons.
o EASY 4: A new chord is detected only when you play 3 or more notes. You
can freely play with your left hand between chord changes.
o FINGER1: The chord is recognized by considering only the notes actually
played. Less ‘forgiving’.
o FINGER2: Like FINGER1, but keeps all previously pressed chord notes in
memory, even if one note or more than one is released. More ‘forgiving’.
• CHORD TIMING: The parameter affects the timing of chord detection. The offset
goes from 0 to 40 (default is 0). The defaults 0 stands for the quickest detection of
the new chord.
• ROOTLESS: Activate this option, regardless of the choices above, to request the
recognition of chords without playing the tonic, as is typical in the jazz style
performances.
• SINGLE FINGER: This is for absolute beginners to detect chords by pressing a
single finger.
• REVERB TYPE: You can manipulate the master effects by changing the reverb
types. In addition to the standard REVERB that affects MIDI parts, under the MODE
menu, you have the ability to change the special type of reverb that acts only on
the LIVE DRUMS, LIVE GUITARS and REAL CHORDS (in other words, only the audio
elements of the style). The other parts of the arranger, such as MIDI chords, use
standard reverb generated by EVM.
• BASS RETRIGGER: If active, the bass restarts with the root note with each new
chord recognized.
• BASS CHRD LOWEST: By enabling Lowest On Octave, even if the Bass To Lowest
button is off, you can get the To Lowest option by setting the chord so that the
lowest note is repeated an octave above the chord. The function is Global to all
styles and is saved in CUSTOM STARTUP.
• TEMPO ON CHORD: If you activate this feature, in EASY2 and EASY4 mode, after
setting the chord with at least three notes, by beating the lowest note of the
