Selecting and Playing Sounds

■Selecting Solo Voice

The Solo section of the Upper keyboard is monophonic, that is, the Solo voice will only sound for the highest note played on the Upper keyboard. This allows you to play full chords and have the selected Solo voice playing the highest (solo) note.

NOTE

If you press the Solo [To Lower] button (indicator lights p. 47), the Solo voice can now be played by the Lower keyboard, not by the Upper Keyboard.

It is possible to change how a Solo voice will sound. Normally, the Solo voice will be sounded by the highest note you play on the Upper keyboard, but you can make settings so that the last-played note will sound the Solo voice. You can also make settings so that the Solo voice will be sounded by all notes of the keyboard to which the Solo voice is assigned. For details refer to “Changing How the Solo Voice Responds (Solo Mode)” (p. 89).
