VA-76 Owner’s Manual—More about the Arranger

If you select a One Touch memory while another one is already active

In that case, the VA-76 selects the Tones and Reverb/ Chorus/Delay settings of that One Touch memory.

It may also switch on one of the following functions if you switched them off after selecting the first One Touch memory:

•Sync Start

•[INTRO] (if Arranger playback is currently stopped). Just for your information, the selection of a One Touch memory is also indicated on the Master page. Look out for the “OT” symbol.

Ignoring certain One Touch settings (Cancel Options)

Now imagine that you have grown accustomed to using the One Touch memories, because they are sim- ilar to (though less comprehensive than) the User Pro- grams. What if, for a given song, you want to use the Tone and effects settings for the Upper1 and Upper2 parts without returning to the Music Style’s preset tempo (because you are playing a medley)?

In that case, you can take advantage of the One Touch Cancel options. They act as filters for the functions supported by the One Touch facility.

1.While on the One Touch page, press the [Cancel Options] field.

The display now looks as follows:

2.Press the field corresponding to the settings that should not be loaded when you select another One Touch memory or Music Style.

If a field is displayed in white, the corresponding set- tings are no longer loaded:

Suitable Tempo— The preset tempo of the selected Music Style.

KBD Mode— The current Keyboard Mode settings. You may have selected another chord recognition area (the entire keyboard, for example). If this field lights, the chord recognition area is not set back to the left half of the keyboard.

Sync Start— If this field is on, the function of the [SYNC] button (see page 96) does not change. So if you selected “Sync Stop”, this would not be reset to “Sync Start”. Also, if the [SYNC] button is currently dark, selecting another One Touch memory or Music Style does not switch it back on.

Intro— This option means that the [INTRO] button is not automatically switched on when you select a One Touch memory or Music Style while Arranger playback is stopped.

If one of the cancel functions has been activated, the [Cancel Options] field on the One Touch page con- tains a tick (✓):

Note: The One Touch function will be switched off when- ever you select a User Program.

Programming your own Tone selections (Memorize)

The VA-76 also allows you to memorize your own favorite Tones for the Upper1 and Upper2 parts in case none of the four One Touch memories provide the sounds you need.

Given the careful preparation of these selections, cus- tomizing the Tone assignments may not be necessary for the internal Music Styles. Yet they may come in handy for Disk Link and Disk User Styles (see pages 60 and 61) for which there are no “presets”.

These customized One Touch settings are stored in a special memory area inside the VA-76. Though they are not part of the User Program parameters (because User Programs and the One Touch facility are mutu- ally exclusive), they will be saved to disk whenever you use the Save User Program Set function (see

page 211).
