Kick & Snare Designation
This function allows for replacing the programmed Bass Drum
(Kick) and the Snare Drum (Snare) with a different Bass Drum or
Snare Drum, belonging to the same drum kit, with only one
action.
The new function is on Page 7 of the Arrangement Play mode.
Kick and Snare are independently programmed. There are four
Designations (A…D). Designation A corresponds to the original
pattern programming.
The settings are only valid for the selected Arrangement and can
be memorized by saving the modifications in a new USER
Arrangement.
Memorizing the Master Transpose in the arrange-
ments or Keyboard Sets
The Master Transpose can be memorised in the arrangement or
Keyboard Set (see “Write Arrangement” or “Write Keyboard
Sets” functions in the Owner’s Manual).
When selecting an arrangement or Keyboard Set, the Master
Transpose can change according to the status of the “Master
Transpose Lock” parameter (see explanation on page 8 in this
manual)

and Lower tracks
The status of the Upper 1, Upper 2 and Lower tracks can be pro-
grammed, just like the tracks of the automatic accompaniment,
on page 4 in the Arrangement Play mode (“Programming the
tracks (2)”). The track status can be memorized in the arrange-
ment or Keyboard Set.
