VA-76 – Global parameters (for the entire VA-76)

MBass/Keyboard Arranger— Allows you to set the Arranger Chord parameter to “Off” (chord recogni- tion as well as ABS recognition off, see page 102) and, at the same time, select the SPLIT Keyboard mode and activate the M.Bass part – and vice versa.

Note: Pressing the PAD button you assign this function to does not mean that the Arranger stops. If you switched on the Arr Hold function (see page 102), the last recognized chord will go on sounding, so that your M.Bass part may drown in the accompaniment. We therefore suggest you assign the “Arranger Hold” function (see above) to the other PAD button. You can then switch off the Arranger Hold function, so that the Arranger only plays the drum pattern of the selected Music Style.

Piano/Standard— By pressing the PAD button, you alternate between the Standard and Piano Style Arran- ger Chord modes. When the former is selected, the chord recognition area (see page 102) is automatically set to LEFT. When you switch to Piano Style, the chord recognition area is automatically set to WHOLE. Fur- thermore, the Upper 1 part is activated (if it was off).

Bass Inversion — See “PAD [2]”.

Upper 2 to Left — Allows you to switch the function of the same name on and off (see page 88).

Fade In, Fade Out— Fade In is a function you may want to use occasionally. Fading in means that the vol- ume of both the Arranger (Style) and Keyboard parts gradually increases, giving the impression that you have been playing for a long time before what you play becomes audible. The volume is automatically set to zero and then gradually increased to the value speci- fied with the [VOLUME] knob. When the Fade In is completed, the indicator of the PAD button goes dark. Fade Outs are extremely popular in pop music, and the VA-76 allows you to end a song just like the original. To do so, press the assigned PAD button. The volume then gradually decreases until it reaches zero (indica- tor lights steadily).

13.3Global parameters (for the entire VA-76)

The VA-76 also provides a number of settings that apply to the entire instrument (which is also the case of the FC-7 assignments, see page 193). Here’s how to change the behavior of your VA-76:

1.Press the [FUNCTION MENU] button.

The display now looks as follows:

2.Press the [Global Parameter] field.

3.If necessary, press the [Keyboard] field in the bot- tom row.

See page 55.

Tone Recall

When this parameter is set to [ON], the VA-76 assigns the “11 St.AcPiano 1” Tone to the Upper1 part when- ever you press the Keyboard Mode [PIANO] button.

You can, however, block this automatic Tone selection, so that pressing the [PIANO] button only selects the WHOLE mode with only Upper1 (UP1) active. That part will go on using the last Tone you selected for it.
