THE METRONOME
The metronome helps you to learn the music, giving the beat during musical exercises and simulating the traditional time-marking
instrument.
It can be turned on and off with the
METRONOME
button. To change the tempo, use the “
TEMPO +/–
“ buttons. To set the volu-
me, press the
STYLE
or
SONG
button and use the
VOLUME S/–
button.

THE KEYBOARD
It has
61 professional pace keys
and can be used in the following ways:
1. When simply turned on, one single sound is enabled over the whole keyboard, together with the chord identi-
fier.
2. By pressing the
FULL KEYB/SPLIT
button, the keyboard will be divided into two sections: one dedicated to
accompaniment to form chords (keys on the left) and the other one to play the melody (keys on the right).
It is possible to set the point where the keyboard will be divided into two modes:
a.
by entering
24
, the display indicates “
Split 19
”; this
means that the left part of the keyboard goes from the
first to the nineteenth key.
b.
by entering
25
, the display indicates “
Split 24
”; this
means that the left part of the keyboard goes from the
first to the twenty-fourth key.
The keyboard on the display shows the division point
with an arrow.
Chords can be played in the
FREE CHORD
mode, which means in the traditional way, or in the
EASY CHORD
mode, which
means in the simplified mode (see the EASY CHORD paragraph).
THE BENDING AND MODULATION CONTROLS
To the left of the keyboard there are three keys, two
BEND
(Pitch Bending) and one
MODUL
(Modulation).
When playing a note and pressing one of the two BEND keys you will hear a variation in the frequency of
the note. This simulates the “pulling” of a string on an instrument such as the guitar. The “Modulation” control
modulates the frequency of the sound.
THE SOUNDS OF THE LEFT PART OR LOWER
The sounds for the ACCOMPANIMENT, when the rhythm is not playing, can be selected by entering
29 (SELECT LOWER)
and
the corresponding number in the SOUNDS list.
To set the volume of the accompaniment section, use the
VOLUME SECTION
+ / –
buttons;
The display shows “
Lower Vol
” and the value of the volume.
By keeping the button pressed, the variation will continue.
To return to the standard volume, simultaneously press the
+
and
–
buttons of
the
VOLUME SECTION
.
