Dynamic video effects (ANIME)
“ANIME” is a special effect that displays graphics on the
screen in synchronization with your keyboard perfor-
mance or the sounds of the SMF song that is playing,
and moves the graphics while they gradually disappear.
It is only available during playback of a Standard MIDI
File (i.e. not for audio songs).
You can use it to heighten the visual impact when
you’re performing along with a song, or playing along
with a slide show or video signals.
Note: You can’t apply the ANIME function while the “DIGISCORE”
function (page 66) is active.
Note: This function cannot be used at the same time as the
“Zoom/Pan” function (see p. 44). However, it can be combined
with the “Lyrics” function.
(1) Press the [ANIME] button (it lights).
The ANIME effect will turn on.
(2) Press the [EXIT] button repeatedly until it stops
flashing to return to the main page (if necessary).

Note: The ANIME effect can also be controlled with an
optional footswitch (see p. 83) and from an external key-
board that controls EXTERNAL PART 1 (see p. 105).
