Vega Ketron, Owner'S Manual

Page: 33 / 122

LEFT CONTROL: FIRST PAGE
F1 SYNC HIT: When enabled It gives a crash sound when the SYNC START and SYNC STOP are activated together. The crash sound is
played any time the musician hit the chord part of the keyboard. The crash sound can be chosen from the ARRANGE mode
page 2 also for the crash level.
F2 HALF BAR: When enabled it affects the entire fill Ins to play its first half bar when pushed.
F3 LOWER: This function when activated it apply one lower setting for all the styles. To save the lower settings you need to activate it
then you select the sounds for the lower parts from the
ARRANGE VIEW window then you press the SAVE/ENTER button
and you select the LOWER tab (F10) . Every time the LOWER function is activated it will gives the lower settings you speci-
fied for all the styles.
F4 COUNT: With the Arranger stopped, COUNT adds a Count In beat where the artificial ‘drummer’ (using drum sticks) counts in 4 beats.
If an INTRO has also been pressed before COUNT with the JUMP push button enabled, the Intro chosen will be enabled at
the end of the count. With the Arranger running, pressing this push button immediately restarts the arranger with the first
beat of the first bar, regardless of which measure the arranger is currently in. This may prove very useful when backing a
singer whose timing is all over the place! When working with the Sequencer (SEQUENCER LED lit), this push button sets the
playback to stand-by until the
COUNT/PAUSE RESTART push button is pressed again (used as a PAUSE ).
F5 STYLE SET: From the style set you can choose oriental (by default) or occidental. If the occidental is chosen then the location of the
western styles will appear starting from 001 instead of 046 (in oriental mode) and the styles selection will be in Group mode,
which means we can select the styles using the function keys from
F1 to F10 . In oriental mode the oriental styles will appear
starting from 001 and the style selection is made thru numeric selection.
F6 Lock Drum: This makes it possible to lock the Drum Set volume independently from which Arrangement has been chosen, within the
same Style. This means that when you change from one Arrangement to another, the volume for the section will remain unal-
tered. If this function is activated while switching over to another Style, the previous settings will be maintained with the
volume of the Style selected.
F7 Lock Bass: The same as for Lock Drum , but dedicated to the Bass track.
F8 LOCK CHORD: The same as for Lock Drum , but dedicated to the Chord 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 parts.
F9 Interactive: This activates the Interactive Arrange function and can be programmed from the second page of the Left Control menu.
F10 Split: This calls up the keyboard Split function, which can be called up also from the main page using the EXIT push button.
LEFT CONTROL: SECOND PAGE
F1 Pattern Edit: This calls up the Pattern editing. For further details, please refer to the special chapter ahead.
