If you switch the
Grey Keys Sel
switch from
Treble
to
Bass
, the grey keys are assigned to
extend the range of the bass keys to a second octave. You can tell this is active because the
first and third red lights now show the range of the bass part. This gives you more freedom
to play bass notes, at the cost of removing the lower part of the treble range.
