Working With Arrangements

1.Press ARR.PLAY to enter Arrangement Play mode. The LED will light.

2.Press ARRANGEMENT BANK [A], then press ARRANGEMENT NUMBER [2] twice to select Arrangement A22 Windy Beat.

Notice the front panel LED indicators for a moment. VARIATION 1 LED is flashing, and INTRO 1 LED is lit.

3.Press the SYNCHRO START button - it will flash.

4.Play a chord in the lower range of the keyboard.

INTRO 1 will now play. When it has played through its pattern, it will automatically go to VARIATION 1, as originally programmed for this arrangement.

5.Play a melody in the right hand as VARIATION 1 plays, to follow the original chord you played in the lower range of the keyboard.

6.As the arrangement plays, press VARIATION 2.

7.Press FILL 1, then press VARIATION 3. Now you’re getting it!

8.Press FILL 2, then press VARIATION 4.

9.Finally, press INTRO/ENDING 1. Don’t play the keyboard at this time. INTRO/ENDING 1 has been pre-programmed with melody and chords - to end the song for you. Note that if you had pressed INTRO/ENDING 2, the ending would have been more “open” to your melody and chord input, allowing you to be in more control of how the song ended. This holds true as well, for INTRO 2.

10.Press START/STOP again, and the last Variation you accessed will begin to play, then press INTRO/ENDING 2 to hear the difference in endings.

ProUser Tip

INTRO/ENDINGS can also be used as Fill-ins, if you press an INTRO/ENDING button, and then press a Variation or Fill button before the ending actually occurs.
