Selecting sounds for the Upper, Lower and Layer parts

The KR103 contains 400 sounds you can use for playing melodies (some are more like sound effects). Those sounds need to be assigned to a Keyboard part, of which there are three: Upper, Lower and Layer (see also p. 21).

All of the KR103’s sounds (and Drum Sets) can be selected via the same streamlined procedure.

(1)Select the part you wish to assign another sound to:

Upper: Proceed to the next step.

Lower: Press the [Layer] and [Split] buttons while per- forming the next steps.

Layer: Press the [Layer] button while performing the next steps.

After selecting one of the above entries, you can press [Enter] to select the various parts (Upper‰ Layer‰ Lower).

(2)Press a Tone button to select the desired Tone fam- ily.

After pressing a Tone button, you can switch to any other family using the [√][®] buttons ([Guitar¥Bass], [Sax¥Brass] and [Others¥Drums÷Sfx] are assigned to two families).

By selecting another family, you immediately jump to the first sound of that group – or to the last sound you selected within that family.

Note: See the end of tis manual for a list of the available sounds.

(3)Use [+][–]to specify a sound within the selected family.

The first press of [+] (or [–]) shows the name of the first Tone within the selected group. It is already selected, so if you need the first sound, there is no need to press [+]. You must use [+] or [–], however, to select another Tone within the same group.

Note: This setting can be saved to a User Program (see p. 46).

Drum sounds and sound effects (“SFX”)
Drum Sets

The last sounds are so-called “Drum Sets”. When you select such a set, every key is assigned to a different sound. With the second C key from the left, you can play a bass drum sound (also called “kick”). The white key next to it triggers a snare drum sound, etc. Try it out by pressing several keys, either in succession or simultaneously.

(The unspecified keys in the above illustration also trigger drum and percussion sounds.) Drum Sets are collections of over 90 sounds, each assigned to a different key.

Note: Drum Sets can only be assigned to the Upper part (so neither to the Layer, nor the Lower part).

Note: This setting can be saved to a User Program (see p. 46).

Sound effects (“SFX”)

The KR103 also contains individual sound effects (like “Train, “Kitty”, “HrseGllp”, etc.) and individual drum and percussion sounds that are assigned to the entire range of the part you select them for (Upper, Lower or Layer).
