EXR-46 OR
13
Playing without accompaniment
When you switch on the EXR-46 OR, it selects the PIANO SOLO
mode. This means that you can use the EXR-46 OR like a digital
piano, or a synthesizer.
The accompaniment function (called “Arranger”) and
[ONE¥TOUCH]
button are not available in PIANO SOLO mode,
while only the Main part is active.
The EXR-46 OR provides three parts for your live playing (and
many more for Arranger backing and Song playback):
Using the Main part
(1) To activate the Main part and assign it to the entire key-
board, press the
[PIANO¥SOLO]
button.
The
icon disappears, the Arranger stops (if it
was playing), and the EXR-46 OR automatically selects a
piano sound for you.
(2) Play a few notes on the keyboard.
(3) If necessary, select another sound by pressing one of the 8
USER TONES buttons. See p. 30 for details.
(4) If necessary, you can hold down the
[TONE]
button and
use BALANCE
[ACCOMP]
(softer) or
[KEYBOARD]
(louder)
to change the Main part’s volume.
Note:
Unlike previous Roland arranger instruments, the
EXR-46 OR no longer distinguishes between “melodic” parts and
a Manual Drums part. You can therefore also play a Drum Kit
with the Main part.
Note:
You can also press the
[START÷STOP]
button to add a
rhythm accompaniment to your playing. This is based on the
currently selected Music Style. See p. 16 for how to select a dif-
ferent one.
Note:
See p. 15 and “Automatic playback start (Sync Start &
Stop)” (p. 16) for other ways to start Music Style playback (the
drums, that is).
Using the Main and Split parts
(1) If you wish to play different sounds with your left and
right hands, press the
[SPLIT]
button.
The
icon appears and the EXR-46 OR now automati-
cally selects a sound for the Split part that complements the
sound assigned to the Main part.
(2) Play a few notes on the keyboard.
At first, the keyboard is split at the G3 (note number “55”). If
necessary, you can select a different split point. See
“KeySplit* (Split point)” (p. 40).
To change the balance between the Main and Split sounds,
proceed as follows:
(3) Hold down the
[SPLIT]
button and use BALANCE
[ACCOMP]
(decrease) or
[KEYBOARD]
(increase) to change the Split
part’s volume.
(4) To assign another sound to the Split part, hold down the
[SPLIT]
button and proceed like for the Main part
(page 13).
Main
As its name suggests, this is the most important
part. As long as the Split part is off, the Main part is
assigned to the entire keyboard.
Split
When you switch on this part, it is assigned to the
left half of the keyboard, while the Main part can
be played with your right hand.
Dual
This part can be added to the Main part and is also
assigned to the entire keyboard. This allows you to
play two sounds simultaneously.
