●MFX UPP, MFX LAY, MFX LOE* (MFX type)—(Default setting: Off) These parameters allow you to select the desired MFX type and to switch the MFX processor off. The setting you make here is a preselection that is only used if you assign the Keyboard part in question (UPP= Upper, LAY= Layer, LOE= Lower) to the MFX using the parameter below. Only one Keyboard part can be pro- cessed by the MFX at any one time. See p. 39 for details about the MFX. Selecting “Off” means that the MFX is off.
Note: MFX type selection is linked to sound selection for the Upper part.
●MFX Part*—(UPP, LAY, LOE, Default setting: UPP) This parameter allows you to select the Keyboard part that should be processed by the MFX.
●Chr UPP*—(0~127, Default setting: 0) This parameter allows you to set the Chorus Send Level for the Upper part (i.e. how much chorus should be added to the Upper notes). If you want this part to be processed by the Chorus effect, you need to select a value different from “0”. This parameter is only used when the UPP MFX parameter is set to “Off” or as long as the Upper part is not assigned to the MFX.
●Chr LAY*—(0~127, Default setting: 0) This parameter allows you to set the Chorus Send Level for the Layer part (i.e. how much chorus should be added to the Layer notes). If you want this part to be processed by the Cho- rus effect, you need to select a value different from “0”. This parameter is only used when the LAY MFX parame- ter is set to “Off” or as long as the Layer part is not assigned to the MFX.
●Chr LWR*—(0~127, Default setting: 0) This parameter allows you to set the Chorus Send Level for the Lower part (i.e. how much chorus should be added to the Lower notes). If you want this part to be processed by the Chorus effect, you need to select a value different from “0”. This parameter is only used when the LWR MFX parameter is set to “Off” or as long as the Lower part is not assigned to the MFX.
●Scl Mode*—(UP, ALL, Default setting: UPP) This param- eter allows you to specify which parts the Scale settings (see below) should apply to: only the Upper part (“UP”) or all parts (“ALL”). In some cases, choosing “ALL” may produce a more satisfactory result.
●Scale C*~Scale B* (Scale Tune)—(–64~63, Default set- ting: 0 for all notes) These parameters allow you to stray away from the usual semitone-interval scale (used in western music) by changing the pitch of the notes so as to accommodate other musical cultures or tuning methods (oriental, baroque music, etc.).
As you will notice, you can change the pitch of every note of one octave (C, C#, D, Eb, E…). The settings you make here apply to all notes of the same name (i.e. to every “C”, every “C#”, etc.). Most of the time, you will probably select the value “50” or “–50” as they corre- spond exactly to half a semitone up or down (quarter tone). Other settings may also be interesting, though.

KR103 Digital Intelligent Piano r
Available parameters
●FctryReset—After working extensively with your KR103, you may want to recall the original factory set- tings. Note that the Recorder memory will be empty and that the User Programs contain factory settings after initializing your KR103.
Press [Enter] in response to the flashing Yes message. After showing the “Complete” message, the KR103 leaves this function.
Note: There is no “Sure?” question that gives you time to think. Only press [Enter] if you are certain you want to recall ALL factory settings. Otherwise, press [Exit].
●V-LINK—(On/Off, Default setting: Off) This parameter allows you to switch the KR103’s V-LINK functionality on and off. See page 42 for details.
●OneTouch—(AUT, TON, TMP, OFF, Default setting: AUT) This parameter allows you to specify how the KR103’s One Touch functionality should work. One Touch is only used when you switch on the [Arranger] button or whenever you select another Style – provided you don’t select “OFF” here.
The default setting (“AUT”) means that One Touch per- forms all of the following.
“TON” means that the One Touch function selects a suit- able sound for the Upper part, i.e. a sound that matches the atmosphere of the Style you are using.
“TMP”, finally, means that the One Touch function uses the Style’s preset tempo if you select a different Style.
●Arr Conf—(ACC, C+B, Default setting: ACC) This param- eter allows you to specify whether or not you want to use the melodic accompaniment and bass lines of the selected Style. You may remember that the KR103 acti- vates a stereo string sound and monophonic bass
whenever (a) the ARRANGER icon is displayed and (b) the Arranger is stopped. This allows you to play chords (and a bass line) with your left hand in Arranger mode – without using the KR103’s accompaniment function.
Select “ACC” if the KR103 should switch to Arranger control as soon as you activate the [Start÷Stop] button. This means that the chords you play are “translated” into melodic parts and a matching bass line.
If you select “C+B” (chord and bass), however, the chords you play are sounded by the stereo string sound and monophonic bass, so that only the rhythm part of the selected Style is used.
●Beat Ind—(On/Off, Default setting: On) This parameter allows you to switch the dynamic beat indication of the current tempo (the “pendulum simulation”) on or off. If you feel distracted by the flashing pattern, select “Off”.
