About the Audio In part

The Audio In part has a special place among the “Key- board parts”. That’s because it is not really a Keyboard part: it allows you to mix your live vocals with the music played by the VA-76.

This explains why it has two pages to itself (a Single Part and a Palette page). Choose whichever is more convenient for you. See page 58 for details.

8.2 Volume and pan

Global Volume

1.Press the [Mixer] field in the display.

2.If necessary, press the [Global Volume] field:

Note: We strongly recommend that you first assign the Tones you need to the parts you intend to play because the character of the sounds you use affects the balance. Thus, a trumpet sound will be perceived louder than a flute because the former contains more harmonics (overtones).

The sliders on this page are group sliders that allow you to set the volume of several parts at once:

Drum— Refers to the volume of the ADrums (ADR) and MDrums parts (MDR). With this slider, you thus affect the volume of two parts.

Bass— Refers to the A Bass (Music Style bass) and the MBS (Manual Bass) parts.

Accomp— Refers to the AC1~AC6 parts of the Arran- ger. These are the melodic accompaniment parts.

Lower— Refers to the LW1 and LW2 parts.

Upper— Refers to the UP1, UP2, VariPhrase, Audio In, and MEL INT parts.

As the name implies, you could use this page for glo- bal changes to the volume.

3.Press the name of the VA-76 part section whose vol- ume you wish to change.

In the above illustration, the Upper slider (group) has been selected.

4.Set the desired volume in one of the following ways:

Using the on-screen slider;

With the [TEMPO/DATA] dial;

By pressing the [DATA] button and using the Numeric Pad (see page 49).

If you only need to change the balance between the Arranger (or Song) and Keyboard parts, using the [BALANCE] knob on the front panel is even more convenient.
