Let’s Get Started
5. THE EASY BUTTON
Like every Lowrey, there are two ways of playing the Encore:
TRADITIONAL
No “Easy-Play” features. You are free to use your hands on the keyboards and your feet on the pedals as you
wish. For example, playing one note on the lower keyboard gives you exactly that: one note! You can use
the
GENERAL PRESETS, CATEGORY PRESETS, RHYTHM PRESETS
and
BANK PRESETS
for many, many
more sounds.
EASY-PLAY
Press the
EASY
button. This button will light up as well as several others (
AUTO BASS 1, MCS & MEMORY
).
The EASY button makes one finger in the left hand on the lower keyboard sound like you are using all your
fingers, plus your feet on the bass pedals. It makes one finger sound like a full three note chord and plays
the appropriate bass note. You can also use the
GENERAL PRESETS
,
CATEGORY PRESETS, RHYTHM
PRESETS
and
BANK PRESETS
for many, many more sounds.
6. HEADPHONES OUTPUT
You can plug a set of stereo headphones into the headphone
OUTPUT
jack, located to the right of the lower
keyboard, so you can play in private. When headphones are plugged into the headphone jack the speaker
system is muted. Volume is controlled with the Expression Pedal.
Pedal Set to Minimum Volume
Pedal Set to Maximum Volume
IMPORTANT:
Before plugging headphones (stereo only) into the
headphone
OUTPUT
jack, be sure the
EXPRESSION PEDAL
is set to
minimum volume. Place the expression pedal in the toe side up, heel
side down position. After plugging the headphones in and placing
them on your ears, hold a note or play a rhythm style, and slowly
increase the volume to a comfortable level.
NOTE:
The
AUTO BASS 1, MCS
and
MEMORY
buttons are described in more detail in the
RHYTHM PLUS ORCHESTRATION SECTION
