Roland E-09 Performing with an Accompaniment (Arranger)

Performing with an Accompaniment (Arranger)

Press [ARRANGER] so it’s lit.

The keyboard will be divided into left and right parts; “split”

and “main.” In the left-hand side, hold down notes to specify a

chord. In the right-hand side, play along with the

accompaniment.

The

key (note number

) is assigned as the split point.

Press [START/STOP] so it’s blinking.

The arranger begins playing. The button begins blinking in time

with the arranger’s time signature.

If you play the left-hand area of the keyboard while

[ARRANGER] is lit and the arranger playback is stopped, a

stereo strings sound will play. You can also add a monophonic

bass sound (-> ”Auto Bass,” p. 23). If you don’t want the strings

sound or bass sound to be heard, turn off “Educational” (p. 24).

If you press [START/STOP] while [ARRANGER] is not lighted,

only the drums will play, allowing you to add a rhythm

accompaniment to your keyboard performance. The drums will

be based on the currently selected music style. If you want to

select a different music style, refer to p. 14.

With your left hand, play a chord (or a single note).

When you play a different chord (or single note), the

arranger will also switch to a different chord.

Use the following buttons to select other patterns within the

currently selected music style.

The chord name is shown in the arranger chord area of the

screen.

While using your left hand to play the arranger chord, use your right

hand to play the melody.

By pressing one of the BAND ORCHESTRATOR buttons so it’s lit,

you can change the accompaniment patterns produced by the

arranger while playback continues.

To Increase the Volume of the Arranger (or

Song Part)

Press BALANCE [ ] (ARRANGER).

To Increase the Volume of Your Keyboard

Performance

Press BALANCE [ ] (KEYBOARD).

Use TEMPO [ ][ ] to slow down (-) or speed up (+) the tempo

of the arranger.

By pressing TEMPO [ ] and [ ] simultaneously, you can

reset the arranger tempo to the default tempo setting specified

by the currently playing music style.

You can also enter the tempo by pressing [TAP TEMPO] three

times or more at the desired interval. By holding down [TAP

TEMPO], you can reset the arranger tempo to the default tempo

setting.

Press [SYNC START] so it’s lit.

Sync Start

is a function that causes the arranger to start playing

when you play a note to the left of the split point. This is

convenient when you want the arranger to begin playing the

moment you specify the chord with your left hand.

To cancel this function, press [SYNC START] so it goes out.

Press [START/STOP] once again so it goes out.

The arranger will stop playing.

If you press [ENDING], an ending phrase will play and then the

arranger will stop.
