Rhythm Plus Orchestration
GENIE & ORCH PLUS
How It Works:
When a Rhythm 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
Rhythm Style’s control and Easy-Play function.
GENIE is the simplest portion of a Rhythm Style and has only one or two instruments. Genie plays a con-
tinuous rhythm pattern.
ORCH PLUS is the fuller, fancier portion of a Rhythm Style (the “rest of the band”).
How To Use It:
When a Rhythm 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 Rhythm Style’s sound.
1. Press the
RESET button.
2. Press the
BIG BAND Rhythm Style button.
3. Play a “C” chord to start the Rhythm 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 different Bass sound and pattern.
7. Press the blue DRUM VARIATION button and hear a different drummer.
8. Press the
ORCH PLUS button - turning it on again. Now you are hearing the Saxophones, Trumpets,
and Slide Trombones again, but not the Guitar.
9. Press the GENIE button again- turning it on. The Guitar player is back along with the entire band.
10. Press the
INTRO/ENDING 1 button to play a Big Band Ending.
The
RHYTHM PRESETS automatically select the instruments for the band or orchestra in a Rhythm Style
(GENIE and ORCH PLUS).
If you wish, there are ways to change (edit) the
GENIE and ORCH PLUS features. You may change the sounds
in the “rest of the band” to sounds that you select. See page 56.

What It Does:
The GENIE and ORCH PLUS buttons allow you to determine how much of
the “rest of the band” you will hear when using a Rhythm Style. The
GENIE
and ORCH PLUS buttons represent specific parts of the band or orchestra
within a Rhythm Style that can be used separately or together.
