Yamaha D-85 - A-B-C Function and Bass Patterns; Separate A-B-C Functionality; Multi-Bass Patterns and Operation

controls.

FINGERED CUSTOM PEDAL
CHORD — ABC
(3) Depress the lower keyboard keys to create a
chord and also depress the pedal keyboard key.
The lower keyboard chord and the pedal
keyboard sound are isolated from each other,
and so the auto chord sound is automatically
accompanied with the chord, as created by
depressing the lower keyboard keys, and the auto
bass sound is automatically accompanied based
on the sound produced by the depressed pedal
keyboard key.
(4) When the MEMORY button is set to ON,
automatic accompaniment continues even when
the lower keyboard and pedal keyboard keys are
released. If only the LOWER or PEDAL memory
button is set to ON, the sound of the keyboard
whose corresponding memory button is not
depressed is no longer heard when that button is
released, and the automatic accompaniment of
the rhythm and sound of the keyboard whose
corresponding memory is set to ON continues.

There are three types of bass patterns for the auto
bass. Select the desired bass pattern with MULTI-
BASS button 1, 2 or 3. A sustaining sound “is
produced when the CONSTANT button is depressed.
The WAH-GUITAR operates normally but rhythmic
chords do not sound. The string bass and bass guitar
sounds will decay.

A-B-C function remains operative even when
the keys are released.
(2) SYNC start switch
