AD BEAM CONTROLLER section

Use the [ON/OFF] button to switch the D Beam Con- troller on (the button lights) or off (button dark). By holding down the [ON/OFF] button for more than a second, you call up the display page where you can select the parameter to be controlled via the D Beam. (These parameters can also be selected by pressing the [CONTROLLERS] button.)

Note: The D Beam technology has been licensed from Inter- active Light, Inc.

Move your hand or body over the two “eyes” to con- trol the volume, filter setting, modulation depth, etc., of the currently active Keyboard parts.

BVOLUME knob

Use this knob to set the VA-76’s global output volume (all sections) both in the speakers and the headphones you may have connected. The setting of this knob also determines the volume of the signals sent to the out- puts.

CM-FX knob and ON/OFF button

The [M-FX] knob allows you to control one multi- effects parameter in realtime. The [ON/OFF] button is used to switch the multi-effects on or off. Press and hold it to call up a display page where you can set the M-FX parameters. Please note that this only affects the parts that have been assigned to the multi-effects.

EMELODY INTELL button

Press this button (so that it lights) to add an automatic counter-melody (second and third voice) to your solos or melodies. Press and hold this button to call up a page where you can select the harmony type.

FCONTROLLERS button

This button provides access to a display page where you can define the functions of the VA-76’s standard and optional realtime controls. These include the D Beam Controller as well as an optional footswitch and expression pedal, and three sliders for controlling VariPhrase playback.

GEFFECTS button

Press this button to call up the display page where you can set all effects parameters. The VA-76 provides two sets of effects: a group of four that are accessible to most parts, and a group of two that are reserved for the VariPhrase processor and the Audio In part.

HONE TOUCH button

This button has two functions: when pressed in isola- tion, it takes you to the display page where you can select/program so-called One-Touch memories for the currently selected Music Style (see page 29).

By holding it down while pressing the USER PRO- GRAM [DOWN] or [UP] button, you transpose the VA-76 in semitone steps.

ISYNC button

This knob allows you to set the balance between the Arranger parts (“ACCOMP”) and the solo sounds (“KEYBOARD”).

Press this button to activate one (or two) SYNC func- tion(s). By default, SYNC START is selected. Hold this button down to call up a display page where you can select another SYNC option.
