Scale

When this lock function is On, the Scale parameter does not change when selecting a different Performance, Style or Sin- gle Touch Setting.

Auto Octave This lock lets the instrument automatically transpose the Upper tracks when switching between the FULL UPPER and the SPLIT Keyboard modes.

On	When switching to the FULL UPPER or SPLIT
	Keyboard Mode, the Upper tracks transposi-
	tion is left unchanged.
Off	When switching to the FULL UPPER Key-
	board Mode, the Upper tracks Octave Trans-
	pose is automatically set to “0”.
	When switching to the SPLIT Keyboard Mode,
	the Upper tracks Octave Transpose is automat-
	ically set to “-1”.

M.Trnsp (Master Transpose) The Master Transpose value is memorized into the Perfor- mance or Style Performance. To prevent the Master Trans- pose to be automatically changed when selecting a Style or Performance, this lock should be set to On.

On	(Default) The lock is engaged. When selecting
	a Style or Performance, the Master Transpose
	will not change.
Off	The lock is turned off. When selecting a Style
	or Performance, the Master Transpose value
	may change, according to the data memorized
	into the Performance or Style Performance.

Fingered 2 You must always play three or more notes for a full chord to be recognized. If you play just one note, a unison will be played. If you play a sus- pended 5th, a suspended chord will be played. The full chord will be recognized when you play three or more notes.
