Basic Functions and Features
If you are eager to “dive in” to your new keyboard or if you plan to study the manual more carefully at a later date, read this section first to get an overall feel for the basic operation of the PRO1 and PRO2. These instruments follow a simple and logical design so you should be able to use and understand many of the features without exhaustive description. If you need more explanation of a particular feature, you will find a comprehensive description of each function further on in this manual.
Simple Operation
There are two different ways of using the instrument;
1:SOUNDS mode
2:PERF mode, (“Performance” mode)
Either mode can be selected by use of the SOUNDS/PERF button to the right of the sound selection buttons. When the light above the button is ON, the instrument is in SOUNDS mode. When this light is OFF the instrument is in PERF mode.
SOUNDS mode is used for normal operation of the instrument and this is where you should start if you are new to the instrument. In this mode you can use the sound selection buttons in conjunction with the VAR, (variation) button to choose any desired sound.
You can easily add effects to the selected sound by using the REVERB and EFFECTS buttons.
If you want to mix two sounds together, this can be achieved by simply pressing the two required sound buttons together at the same time. You may also split the keyboard by pressing SPLIT. If you select a sound while holding the split button, this assigns that sound to the left side of the keyboard. If you press a key while holding the split button, the note you pressed will become the new split point, (it actually becomes the lowest note of the right or upper section.)
