Changing the Style Tempo

Every time you select a Style, you also recall a memorized playing speed, (TEMPO), shown in the top left hand corner of the display. You can speed up or slow down the tempo, before or after starting the Style, by pressing the [TEMPO] buttons.

Press the [TEMPO ] button to increase the Tempo value, or the [TEMPO] button to decrease the value.

Holding down either button changes the Tempo value at high speed continually until released.

Restoring the memorized Tempo

To restore the Style’s memorized Tempo, press both Tempo buttons at the same time.

Note: If you change Style while the rhythms are play- ing, the current Tempo rests unchanged. The memo- rized Style Tempo is recalled only when the Style is not playing.

About the Chord Recognition Modes

The GK310 allows you to choose between two different Chord recognition modes: FINGERED and ONE FINGER. The chords that you play (Fingered or One Finger type) must be played on the lower part of the keyboard dedicated to the Auto Bass Chords (from note C2 up to and including note F#3).

FINGERED mode requires that you press at least 3 notes for a chord to be recognized.

ONE FINGER mode requires that you press only one note for a Major chord to be recognized. Other chords require more notes.

1.If a Chord recognition mode isn’t selected, press the [MODE] button as many times as necessary until the left display arrowhead point to either FINGERED or

ONE FINGER.

2.Press the [START/STOP] button to start the current Style.

3.If you select FINGERED, play a chord of at least 3 notes on the Auto Bass Chord section of the keyboard to trigger the auto-accompaniments.

If you select ONE FINGER, play one note on the Auto Bass Chord section of the keyboard to trigger the Major chord of the auto-accompaniments Other chords using the “One finger” method involves the use of two or three fingers.

In the Appendix you’ll find useful reference charts for Fingered and One Finger chords:

FINGERED (Appendix A); ONE FINGER (Appendix B).

Using the Style Auto functions

The Styles provide a wide variety of automatic functions that make the GK310 very easy to play.

Select the Fill In and change Style Variation

Each Style has two accompaniment patterns, NORMAL and VARIATION, which you can select at any time before or after starting to play the Styles by pressing the corresponding button. The stutus of the LED on the FILL 1 or FILL 2 buttons tells you which Style pattern is active for play, Normal or Variation.

When you press the [FILL 1 /NORMAL] or the [FILL 2 /VAR] button during play- back, the current pattern will be interrupted by an appropriate Fill In, or “break”, then proceed with the same pattern or variation, depending on which button you press.

The LED of the button pressed will turn on while the LED of the other button will turn off.
