The Octave transposer
Whether you are playing with Styles or just Voices in single,
dual or split mode, you can octave-shift the current Voice
down one octave (maximum) in real time. The current Voice
is shown in the display by the message VOICE 1, VOICE 2 or

[SPLIT/LOWER]
button is held down).

[OCTAVE]
button.
A small black display arrow points to the OCTAVE function
on the right to show that the current voice is set to play
one octave lower than normal. In the example, Voice 1 is
shown set to play an octave lower.

indicator turns off.
Styles - Auto-Accompaniment
What are the Styles?
Styles are a collection of musical patterns representing many
types of music, ranging from rock and pop to traditional and
ethnic music. The
GK340
contains 96 different auto-
accompaniment Styles that can be used to provide fully-
orchestrated arrangements. The sophisticated Auto Accom-
paniment system can provide automated bass and chord
backing that is perfectly matched to the selected accompa-
niment Style. The Styles a formed by 5 sections, or tracks,
that generate the automatic arrangements: Drums, Bass and
3 Accomp, and an additional two tracks, Upper and Lower,
for the keyboard sounds. The automatic arrangements are
triggered by playing chords (fingered or one-finger) on the
lower part of the keyboard below the split point.
Selecting Style Mode
To select the Styles, you must set the
GK340
to STYLE mode.
1. Press the
[STYLE]
button.
At the center of the display, the message STYLE is shown
to show that the instrument is ready to accept a
STYLE
selection.
To enable the Style auto-accompaniments, you must select
one of the two chord recognition modes (ONE FINGER or
FINGERED).
2. Press the
[SINGLE TOUCH PLAY]
button.
Pressing this button activates the KEY START function
automatically and enables the Style auto-accompaniments
by recalling one of the two chord recognition modes (ONE
FINGER or FINGERED). The left display arrowhead points
to FINGERED or ONE FINGER. The display example shows
FINGERED selected.
The FINGERED and ONE FINGER chord recognition modes
are explained in detail further ahead.
Note
: When SINGLE TOUCH PLAY is
on, the sounds memorized in the Style
Performance are assigned to all the
tracks. Selecting a Style changes the
sounds of the accompaniment sections
(Drums, Bass, Accomp) as well as the
keyboard sections (Upper 1, Upper 2,
Lower). When SINGLE TOUCH PLAY
is off, selecting a Style changes the
sounds of the accompaniment sections
only.
