If this key is off, you will only hear the arrangement as long as you
keep the keyboard keys pressed. As soon as you release the keys, the
arrangement will stop and only the rhythm section will be left.
Bass to Lowest
This function affects the way the bass part of the style behaves.
Normally, the system analyses the chord played by your left hand and
decides which note to assign to the bass on the basis of the chord
recognised, and thus regardless of the “inversion” you have used.
When the Bass to lowest function is on, the system always assigns the
note furthest to the left of the chords played to the bass, regardless of
whether or not it is the “fundamental” of the chord.
This function allows you to play pieces in which the lowest note of the
chord moves independently, as played by the musician, without
necessarily providing harmonic base functions.
Pianist
The Pianist mode is intended for musicians who have a purely pianistic
approach to the instrument; it automatically activates the Bass to lowest
function described above. The PIANO arranger recognises chords of up
to five notes pressed simultaneously, but while in the Split mode (Pianist
function off) the arranger is activated even with just one note pressed,
with the Pianist function active the system recognises chords from
three to five notes, so if you play fewer than three notes the chord will
not be recognised.
Every note played 8 semitones above the highest note of the recognised
chord is not interpreted as part of the chord, but is treated as a melody
note. On the other hand, every note played below the lowest note of
the recognised chord is interpreted as a bass note.
