EXPRESSION
In this page you can modify the Expression (CC#11) value
for each of the Style tracks. This lets you reduce the relative
level of a track in a single Style Element, without reducing the
overall Volume of the Style.
This is a very useful control, when you have different Pro-
grams assigned to the same track in different Style Elements,
and the internal level of these Programs is different.
When in this page, press the corresponding button on the
control panel to select a Style Element (VARIATION1 …
ENDING2).
To copy the settings of this page to another Style Element,
keep the SHIFT button pressed, and press the button of the
target Style Element.
Value
Use this parameter to set the Expression value for the corre-
sponding track.

KEYBOARD RANGE
The Keyboard Range automatically transposes any pattern
note that would otherwise play too high or too low in pitch,
compared to the original acoustic instrument, when trans-
posed by the arranger. This will result in a more natural
sound for each accompaniment instrument.
For example, the lower limit for a guitar is E2. If you play a
chord under the E2, the transposed pattern could exceed this
limit, and sound unnatural. A Bottom limit set to E2 for the
guitar track will solve the problem.
Note: The Keyboard Range is ignored while recording. The
selected track can play on the full range of the keyboard.
When in this page, press the corresponding button on the
control panel to select a Style Element (VARIATION1 …
ENDING2).
To copy the settings of this page to another Style Element,
keep the SHIFT button pressed, and press the button of the
target Style Element.
Bottom/Top
Use these parameters to set the bottom and top of the key-
board range for the corresponding track.

VARIATION TABLE
This is the page where you can assign a Chord Variation to
each recognized chord. When a chord is recognized, the
assigned Chord Variation will be automatically selected by
the arranger to play the accompaniment.
When in this page, press the corresponding button on the
control panel to select a Style Element (VARIATION1 …
ENDING2).

niment tracks.
When in this page, press the corresponding button on the
control panel to select a Style Element (VARIATION1 …
ENDING2).
M (Mode)
This setting harmonizes the notes of the Bass track or the
Acc1-5 tracks to the new chord when the chord is changed.
Off Each time you play a new chord, the current
notes will be stopped. The track will remain
silent until a new note will be encountered in
the pattern.
Rt (Retrigger) The sound will be stopped, and
new notes matching the recognized chord will
be played back.
Rp (Repitch) New notes matching the recognized
chord will be played back, by repitching notes
