Press the [SUSTAIN] button to turn the sustain effect on or off. When on
(indicator lit), extra sustain is applied to the selected voice. If a footswitch con-
nected to the rear-panel SUSTAIN jack is pressed in order to apply sustain, how-
ever, the panel SUSTAIN function will be automatically turned off.
Sustain can be applied to the ORCH. 1 voice only, the ORCH. 2 voice only, or both
voices via the SUSTAIN ASSIGN function described on page 38 of the Advanced
Features manual.
The harmony effect can only be used when the AUTO BASS CHORD accom-
paniment mode is selected. Press the [HARMONY] button to turn the HAR-
MONY effect on or off. When HARMONY is on (indicator lit), playing single
notes or chords* on the right-hand section of the keyboard produces automatic
harmony matched to the accompaniment chords. The type of harmony produced
can be selected via the Harmony Type function described below.
* The harmony is based on the top note of chords.
Slight tempo delays may occur when harmony is used in conjunction with the ABC
Fingered Chord mode.
To select one of the 16 different harmony types available for the HARMONY
function:
Select the HARMONY TYPE function from the normal play mode by press-
ing the [HARMONY TYPE] button (this is the same as the [
t
] display scroll
button to the right of the LCD panel).
The right [-] and [+] buttons step through the harmony list one by one. For
faster selection you can use the left [-] and [+] buttons to directly select the har-
mony categories — Basic, Pop, etc. — and then use the right [-] and [+] buttons
to select the desired harmony type within that category.
The HARMONY TYPE mode ends automatically if neither of the [-] or [+]
buttons are pressed for approximately 10 seconds.
This function causes the left-hand (ORCH. 2) voice to be held even when the
keys are released when using the AUTO BASS CHORD and Split modes. Non-
decaying voices such as strings are held continuously, while decay-type voices
such as piano decay more slowly (as if the sustain pedal has been pressed).
The LEFT HOLD function works only while AUTO BASS CHORD accompaniment is
running. Further, LEFT HOLD is temporarily disengaged during ENDING variations
and INTRO or SOLO variations that have their own chord progressions.
