Use these buttons to open the Style Select window and select a
Style. See “Style Select window” on page 77.
The rightmost button lets you select the upper or lower row of
Style banks. Press it repeatedly to select one of the rows.

grammed banks.

A word about Style banks and names. Styles in banks from
“8BEAT/16 BEAT” to “JAZZ”, and from “LATIN” to “WORLD 2”
are standard Styles, the user can’t normally overwrite with a
Load operation (unless you remove the protection; see “Factory
Style and Pad Protect” on page 225).
Styles in the banks “USER1” and “USER2” are location where
you can load new Styles from a card, or save newly created or
edited Styles.
Each button (Style bank) contains four pages, each with up to
eight Styles. Repeatedly press a bank button to cycle between the
available pages.
If you keep the SHIFT button pressed, and press one of
the buttons of this section, the “Write Style Performance” win-
dow appears in the display, and you can save the current Style
Performance (see “Write Style Performance dialog box” on
page 103).

the various track views.

SINGLE TOUCH SETTING buttons
These buttons allow to select up to four Single Touch Settings.
Each of the Styles and SongBook entries includes a maximum of
four Single Touch Settings (STS), to automatically configure
Keyboard tracks and effects at the touch of a finger. When the
SINGLE TOUCH LED is lit, an STS is automatically selected
when selecting a Style.
If you keep the SHIFT button pressed, and press one of
the buttons of this section, the “Write STS” window appears in
the display, with the current STS already selected, and you can
save the current keyboard track settings in a STS (see “Write Sin-
gle Touch Setting dialog box” on page 103).
D
PAD (1-4, STOP)
Each Pad corresponds to a dedicated Pad track. Use these but-
tons to trigger up to four sounds or sequences at the same time.
• Press a single PAD button to trigger a single sound or
sequence.
• Press more PAD buttons to trigger several sounds or
sequences.
The sequences will play up to the end. Then, they will stop or
continue repeating, depending on their “One Shot/Loop” status
(see “Pad Type” on page 142).
You can stop all sequences, or just some of them, by pressing the
STOP button of the PAD section:
• Press STOP to stop all sequences at once.
• Keep STOP pressed and press one (or more) of the PAD
buttons to stop the corresponding sequence(s).
Note: Melodic/harmonic sequences are automatically stopped
when selecting Intro 1 or one of the Endings. On the contrary,
rhythmic sequences will continue playing.
Note: Pads share polyphony voices with the other tracks, so avoid
using too many of them together with a dense Style or Song
arrangement.
About Pad synchronization. In Style Play mode, Pads are sync’d
to the Style’s tempo. In Song Play mode, they are sync’d to the
latest Sequencer you set to play. For example, assume you
pressed SEQ2-PLAY; when pressing one of the PAD buttons, it
will play in sync with Sequencer 2.
About Pads’ and the Sequencers’ Play command. When you
press one of the PLAY buttons to start the corresponding
Sequencer, all Pads will stop playing.
You can jump to the Style Play > Pad page by keeping
SHIFT pressed, and pressing one of the PAD buttons.
E

functions on or off.

selected, a Single Touch Setting (STS1) is auto-
matically selected. The Keyboard sounds and
effects will change, along with the Style sounds
and effects. Pad sounds will change too.
Flashing Variation/STS Link function activated. This func-
tion makes each Variation recall the correspond-
ing STS when selected. For example, select
Variation 2, and STS 2 will be automatically
recalled; select Variation 3, and STS 3 will be
automatically recalled.
Off When you select a different Style (or the same
again), the Style sounds and effects will change,
as well as Pad sounds. The Keyboard sounds and
effects will not change.
