Page: 25 / 96

The Effects Tab button allows you to access the WERSI Reverb 1 and 2, Delay & Chorus effects. Also, the Stereo
Studio Digital Reverb is also access from this Tab button.
The final Tab button is called ‘Settings’. This tab allows the user to access the Settings Menu. All aspects of the OAS
system, sounds, styles and more can be edited / changed from here.
13.1 Main Display Special Function Buttons
The group of buttons in this group are as follows: ‘Keyboard Split’ (Only for Abacus KS-1 Keyboard), ‘Loops’ - this is
the optional Rhythm Designer. When activated, this button will load the Rhythm Designer software. Contact WERSI
Direct if you would like to trial or purchase the Rhythm Designer.
The next button is ‘Arabic Tuning’. Arabic Tuning has already been covered in the previous chapter of the instrument.
This button loads the Arabic Tuning display.
The fourth button ‘Hermode Tuning’ loads the Optional ‘Hermode’ display to allow users to create perfect tuning’s
for specific sound genres (Pop, Classical & Orchestra etc). This option is no longer available to purchase and is a
‘Legacy’ option for customers who purchased this option when it was available. Naturally it remains available for those
users and is not omitted from the OpenArt-System.
13.2 OAS Clock / Date
For good time keeping, the Main Display features a Clock / Data Combo. This is especially helpful for timing songs, or
if you have a performance and need to know when to stop playing etc.
13.3 CD-Player
By Touching the CD-Player button, the CD-Player display will open to play Audio CDs.
13.4 Karaoke (On Screen Lyrics)
13.5 Quick Edit
Quick Edit allows you to ‘quickly edit’ either sequences or Styles / Realdrums. Depending on what accompaniment is
loaded depends on whether you are taken to the Sequencer or the Style Editor.
If you have a MIDI-File Sequence or a
special Wave that includes Karaoke Lyric
data, you can push this button for ‘on screen
lyrics’. A display is shown with the lyrics and
as the song progresses, the words are high
lighted so you know where you are.
