Performing with the Keyboard

Performing the Organ, Piano, or Synth Individually (ONE TOUCH)

The VR-760 is normally set to allow you to perform with the organ, piano, and synth parts all playing together (layered).

If you want to play only the organ, piano, or synth part, you will need to mute the other parts. Furthermore, if you are performing with the keyboard divided into separate key ranges (during Split Play, p. 51), you must also turn this off. These operations are difficult to carry out quickly while you are performing.

However, you can remove the split and mute all but the part you want to play simply by pressing one of the ONE TOUCH buttons, [ORGAN], [PIANO], or [SYNTH].

1. Press the ONE TOUCH [ORGAN] button.

You can now perform playing only the organ part.

In the same manner, pressing the [PIANO] button or [SYNTH] button allows you to perform playing only the piano part or the synth part.

2. To turn the ONE TOUCH function off, either press the ONE TOUCH button with the lit indicator or call up any registration (p. 29).

The tones selected by pressing the ONE TOUCH buttons are described
