Tone and Style demo — <Sound>/<Style>

To give you a better idea of the KR-11’s Tones (sounds) and Music Styles (accompaniments), the KR-11 comes with a Sound and Style Demo function. Here is how to use them.

1.On the Demo screen, press <Sound> for a demon- stration of the Tones, or <Style> for an explanation and demonstration of the Music Styles.

2.Press <Demo> at the bottom right of the display.

3.Use the buttons to the left and right of the display to choose the instrument you want to hear, or press <Next> to audition the next Music Style.

A demo song using the selected Tone or Music Style is played. The number of demo songs varies according to the Tone you select. When the first song ends, the next one starts to play.

4.You can start playback of the second demo by press- ing the same button (or <Next>) again.

The performance stops automatically when all songs have been played.

5.Press <Exit> or <To Menu> to stop playback. Note: All rights reserved. Unauthorized use of the demo songs for purposes other than private enjoyment is a viola- tion of applicable laws.

Note: The performance data of the demo songs are not transmitted to the MIDI OUT connector.

Choosing the display language

The Basic menu and part of the Demo menu can be displayed in other languages.

1.On the Demo screen, press <Language>.

2.Use the buttons to the left and right of the display to choose the language.

Note: This setting reverts to the original language when the power is switched off. If you prefer the KR-11 to select another language, see “Memory Backup” on page 51.

Using <Game>

The <Game> option lets you play a note- or chord- guessing game.

1.On the Demo screen, press <Game>.

2.Use the buttons at the bottom of the display to select a game.

From left to right, the games displayed are “Guess the Note”, “Guess the Chord” and “Chord Practice.”

Guess the Note— Listen to the sound that’s played, and guess what note it is.

Guess the Chord— Listen to the chord that’s played, and guess what notes are used to make it up.

Chord Practice— Look at the chord and try to play it.

Here’s how the game progresses:

3.Use the buttons below the display to choose either “Beginner” or “Advanced”.

The question appears on the display.

The display waits a few seconds and then gives you a first hint

After a few more seconds, the second hint appears

in the center of the screen.

Try to answer before time runs out. The faster you give the correct

answer, the better your score.
