Rhythm Plus Orchestration
GENIE & ORCH PLUS
How It Works:
When a style button is pressed, the GENIE and ORCH PLUS buttons light up along with the AUTO
BASS 1, MCS, MEMORY, EASY
and START/STOP buttons. All of these buttons are part of what create the
style’s control and easy-play function.
GENIE is the simplest portion of a style and has only one or two instruments. Genie plays a
continuous rhythmic pattern.
ORCH PLUS is the fuller, fancier portion of a style (the “rest of the band”).
How To Use It:
When a style is playing - you can press the GENIE and ORCH PLUS buttons on and off to control how much
of the band or orchestra plays.
TRY THIS: Try the following example to see how GENIE and ORCH PLUS change a style’s sound.
1. Press the
RESET button.
2. Press the
BIG BAND style button.
3. Play a “C” chord to start the style playing. Listen to a few measures.
You’re hearing a “walking bass” sound, a Drum sound and the rest of the band, which is a guitar
player as well as saxophones, trumpets, and slide trombones.
4. Press the
ORCH PLUS button - turning it off and leaving the GENIE button lighted. The bass and
drummer continue playing while the guitar player strums a “C” chord on a guitar. You are NOT
hearing the saxophones, trumpets, and slide trombones because the
ORCH PLUS button is off.
5. Press the GENIE button - turning it off. Now you are hearing only the bass player and the drummer.
The “rest of the band” is not playing because the
GENIE and ORCH PLUS buttons are off.
6. Press the orange AUTO BASS 2 button to hear a difference in the bass.
7. Press the ORCH PLUS button - turning it on again. Now you are hearing the saxophones, trumpets, and
slide trombones again, but not the guitar.
8. Press the
GENIE button again- turning it on. The guitar player is back along with the entire band.
9. Press the INTRO/ENDING button to play a big band ending.
The
RHYTHM PRESETS automatically select the instruments for the band or orchestra in a style (GENIE and
ORCH PLUS).
