How To Use It:
1. Press any STYLE button.
2. Press the
INTRO/ENDING button.

4. Play the song- right hand upper keyboard, left hand lower keyboard.
5. At the end of the song, press the
INTRO/ENDING button again.
When the style Ending has finished playing the
RHYTHM PRESET light will turn yellow. If another style is

Parts of the style-WHAT YOU ARE HEARING WHEN A STYLE PLAYS
The styles bring many different types of musical groups into your home to play along with you.
EACH STYLE IS MADE UP OF THREE BASIC ELEMENTS:
1. A BASS PLAYER (Pedals). The bass is played automatically along with all styles. The orange
colored
AUTO BASS 1 button is on (lighted) when any style is selected. The AUTO BASS 2 button
provides a different bass sound and pattern for each style.
The Bass volume is preset and may be controlled with two orange-colored buttons in the
GRAPHIC
MIXER section on the left side of the panel. Bass sounds and controls are found on orange-colored
buttons in the bass section.
If you play the pedals, the automatic bass line will stop and you will hear the bass notes you are
actually playing. When you stop playing the pedals, the automatic bass begins to play again (on the next
down beat).
The sounds selected for the bass pedals will be the same, whether you play the pedals or use the auto
bass feature. Additional sounds for the pedals are the orange-colored buttons in the
BASS section on the
left side of the panel. When the
AUTO BASS buttons are off, you will need to play the pedals in order to
hear a bass sound.
2. A DRUMMER: The drum patterns and sounds play along with each style automatically.
The drum volume is preset and can be controlled with the two buttons labeled
DRUM VOLUME.
The DRUM ONLY button causes the entire band or orchestra of a selected style to be silent
with only the drummer left playing.
3. THE REST OF THE BAND: To complete our band or orchestra the GENIE and ORCH PLUS add all the
appropriate instruments for the style selected. For example, the
BIG BAND style
features guitars, trombones, trumpets, and saxophones. The
COUNTRY SWING style
features a guitar and steel guitar as the “rest of the band.” A
POLKA style would have
clarinets, trumpets and accordions as the “rest of the band.” As you will discover in this section., how
much of a band or orchestra that is heard in a style is controlled by the
GENIE and ORCH PLUS
buttons.
The volume for the “rest of the band” is preset and may be controlled with the
ORCH PLUS VOLUME
buttons in the GRAPHIC MIXER section.
