6. BASIC OPERATIONS

PLAYING ON THE KEYBOARD

Just play on the keyboard. You will hear the Realtime tracks
playing. There are four Realtime tracks: Upper 1-3 and
Lower. They may play all at the same time, or just one or a
few of them, depending on their Mute status. If you cannot
hear a track, check the mute status of that part.
Tracks can be set in different ways: use the KEYBOARD
MODE section to select the way they are configured on the
keyboard.
• Press FULL UPPER to play the Upper 1-3 tracks on the
full range of the keyboard, just as you would on a piano.
• Press SPLIT to let the Upper 1-3 tracks play on the right
of the Split Point, and the Lower track on the left.
• Keep the SPLIT POINT button pressed, and play a note
to change the point where the keyboard is divided in an
Upper and a Lower part.
To memorize the selected split point note, press the GLOBAL
button, then press WRITE to save the Global in memory (see
“The Write window” on page 125).

SELECTING, MUTING/UNMUTING AND

SOLOING A TRACK

Selecting. Use the VOLUME/VALUE (A-H) buttons to
select a track.
The selected track is shown with a solid square surrounding
its status icons.
If you can’t see the track you are looking for, use the TRACK
SELECT button to scroll up or down the tracks, and find the
hidden ones.
Mute/unmute. Press both VOLUME/VALUE (A-H) but-
tons to mute or unmute a track. For example, if you are in the
main page that appears after turning the instrument on, and
you want to mute the Upper 1 track, press the E (UPPER1/
ACC2) buttons together.
The mute/play status is shown by the relevant icon in the dis-
play:
Play status; the track plays on the keyboard.
(no icon) Mute status; the track doesn’t play on the key-
board.
Solo. While in the Style Play, Song Play and Song modes,
you can solo one of the tracks. Just keep the SHIFT button
pressed, and press both VOLUME/VALUE buttons corre-
sponding to the track you wish to solo.
To exit the solo mode, keep the SHIFT button pressed again,
and press both VOLUME/VALUE buttons corresponding to
the soloed track.
