Selecting Styles

You can choose to select Styles and recall ap- propriate keyboard sounds automatically (option A), or select Styles without changing the keyboard sounds (option B).

OPTION A: RECALL KEYBOARD SOUNDS AUTOMATICALLY

1.Press SINGLE TOUCH PLAY (LED on).

When SINGLE TOUCH PLAY is on, the sounds memorized in the Style Preset are assigned to all the tracks. Selecting a Style changes the sounds of the accompaniment tracks as well as the keyboard sections. Pressing SINGLE TOUCH PLAY automati- cally activates the EASY PLAY and MEMORY buttons and the KEY START button.

2.Press one of the STYLE/SONG GROUPS buttons.

Use the first 12 banks of the Style/Song Groups: Swing, Country … World, Ethnic. A timeout selection window appears showing 8 Styles belonging to the selected Group.

3.Select a Style with the corresponding Function button.

Selecting a Style instantly changes the auto- matic accompaniment, the accompaniment and keyboard sounds and the effects. If TEMPO LOCK is off, the Tempo also changes. If MIXER LOCK is off, the track volumes also change.

If the arrangements are playing, the new Style enters at the next measure.
