If you don’t change their assignment, they can be
used to trigger the FADE IN and FADE OUT functions.
J
STYLE CONTROL section

(page 225).

EFFECTS button
This button provides access to the display pages
where you can set the effects parameters of the
E-80’s parts. Press it once to select the KEYBOARD
effects, and twice for the STYLE & SONG effects.
M
LYRICS & SCORE button
Press this button if you want the lyrics contained in
the songs to appear in the display. At the same time,
the chords of the notes played by the song parts will
also be displayed. This, however, is information that is
“extracted” (derived) in realtime by the E-80. This
function can even display the notes of the selected
part as a score. This button also provides access to
the VIEWER function (see p. 56).
N
MUSIC ASSISTANT button
Press this button to access the MUSIC ASSISTANT
environment where you can select Music Style regis-
trations for a given song you want to play. You can
also program your own Music Assistant registrations.
O
D Beam controller
This controller allows you to influence the timbre of
the notes you play, to control song playback and to
create some unique effects. All you need to do is
move your hand up/down or left/right above the two
“eyes”.
The D BEAM buttons F allow you to assign the
desired function to the D Beam controller. See p. 72.
P
LCD CONTRAST knob
Use this knob to adjust the display’s contrast if it is
difficult to read. The display itself is a touch screen
and therefore needs to be clear at all times (so that
you know what you are doing).
Note: The display may take some time to warm up. That is why
you may have to change the contrast several times after pow-
ering on.
Q
COVER button
This button provides access to pre-programmed tem-
plates that allow you to quickly modify a song’s or
Music Style’s character. Press it once or twice to
select the Song or Style level. See pages 44 and 85.
R
MAKEUP TOOLS button
Press this button to modify the settings of the cur-
rent song or Music Style, if the pre-programmed
Cover settings do not provide what you’re looking
for. See page 140.
S
MENU button
Press this button to call up a menu that provides
access to more in-depth E-80 functions you may only
wish to set from time to time.
T
EXIT button
Press this button to return to the previously selected
display page or the E-80’s main page.
