Graphic chord display

2.Press the Music Style [Big Band/Swing] button.

3.From the list of Music Styles shown on the display, select <Jazz Band>.

(The Style “Jazz Band” has now been selected.) After a few seconds, the display returns to the Basic screen.

4.Start the accompaniment by pressing the C key (see the score for the chords to play).

As explained above, this is the easy way to play chords. By pressing the C, you actually play a C major chord.

The Arranger will start with an eight-measure Intro. Wait until the Intro is finished before playing the melody.

Here are the “chords” you need for “The Saints”:

F 3

F Left Right

You can slow down the tempo by pressing the TEMPO

[–]button. If you think the accompaniment is too slow, press TEMPO [+] instead.

Pressing the [+] and [–] buttons simultaneously will return the Arranger to the default tempo of the Jazz Band Style.

5.At the end of the song, press the [INTRO/ ENDING] button.

If you want to play the song again, press the [SYNC] button and play the first chord (C).

Note: There are various ways to start and stop a Style (see “Starting and Stopping Styles” on page 26).

Once you feel you master the basic version of “The Saints”, try adding some variation here and there. When “To Variation” is indicated in the music, press the [TO VARIATION] button. Of course, there is a lot more you can do with the KR-11’s Arranger.
