Press this button to select the part whose level you want to change with respect to that of the other parts. The parts available here are: Upper, Layer, Split, ADrums, ABass, and Accomp (this is a group of 6 parts).

Note: There is also a [Balance] knob that allows you to set the volume balance of entire sections. See page 20.

C[Transpose] button

Press this button to select the display function that allows you to set a transposition interval. You can also specify which sections should be transposed (page 20).

J[Music Style] buttons

These buttons allow you to select Music Style fami- lies. When you press a button, the first Style of the selected family is immediately recalled. The button of the selected family lights. Note that the KR103 mem- orizes your selection within each family, and immedi- ately recalls the last Style you used within that fam- ily.

The last button ([User]) provides access to the Music Style in the KR103’s temporary area or Styles on an inserted floppy disk.

K[Fill In] buttons

Press this button when you want to start a Style per- formance with an introduction, or to stop Music Style playback with a musical ending. When you press the [Arranger] button, the Intro pattern is auto- matically selected.

If you press it during Style playback, this button selects the Ending pattern.
