On
Easy 3
modes, single fingered chords are recognized so by playing a single note, (e.g. A, the
complete A chord is heard. To play a 7
th
, simply press the note that creates the 7
th
chord (G and A
in this case).
•
On
Fingered 1 and Fingered 2
modes the chord is recognized and played only according to the
notes you play.
•
Variation to In/End
– This allows you to be able to apply the instant muting or un muting of the
chord elements also within Intros and Endings from the main VOICE & VARI screen discussed above
in page XXX. When this is on (
yellow
), while playing any intro or ending, you can instantly turn off or
on the different chord parts which are associated to these icons. If this is off, then this feature only
works within the Arranger parts (
A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2 … D-1 and D-2
).
•
V-TONE ON/OFF
– Special sound with a round ribbon ‘tone’ automatically generated along with the
sound to give it that rich effect.
•
Touch
LOWER
to access the following screen:-
Fig. 93. Style View – Lower Parameters
There are 2 columns associated with both the LOWER1 and LOWER2 voices which are the two
sounds that can be assigned left of the split point of the keyboard (Left Hand Voice). Let’s describe
each function in full and how it can be of use to you:-
•
HOLD START
: When set to ON, the Lower1 or Lower 2 sounds will be held (sustained) as you play
a style. The setting is enabled for all the Styles. This is great when sustained sounds like PADS or
STRINGS are assigned to the left hand. This is what keyboard players would be playing in a live band
when a vocalist is singing, say a verse (
soft
).
•
HOLD STOP
: When set to ON, the Lower1 or Lower 2 sounds will be held (sustained) even when the
style is not playing (or has been stopped). Hold STOP is generally always disabled, but could be used
in, say a style, where once the music ends, you still want the PADS to be sustained way after the
ENDING has been completed. Very useful for Orchestral/Theatric music.
•
HOLD BREAK
: When off the LOWER voice is not heard (interrupted) when any of the BREAK
buttons are pressed while a style is being played. This could be useful if say you used a BRASS
instrument as one of the lower voices and want to use a break and want the horns to come to an abrupt
stop/end, especially with DANCE music.
•
STOP MUTE
: When this is set to ON, the LOWER voice is not heard when the style is not running.
•
MUTE
: Instantly mutes the Lower voice selected regardless of whether the style is on (
playing
) or
stopped
.
