Quick Guide Change a Song’s Style

5 Select a style.

Rotate the dial and listen to how the song sounds with different styles. As you select different styles the song will remain the same while only the styles change. When you have selected a suitable style move on to the next step while the song is still playing (if you have stopped the song, start it again by pressing the [START/STOP] button).

NOTE

•Because the Easy Song Arranger uses song data you can’t specify chords by playing in the accompaniment range of the keyboard. The [ACMP ON/ OFF] button will not function.

•If the time signature of the song and style are different, the time signature of the song will be used.

Use the dial to change the melody voice. As you select different melody voices the song will remain the same while only the melody voice changes (if you have stopped the song, start it again by pressing the [START/STOP] button).

You can save the Easy Song Arranger settings to SmartMedia memory. Refer to page 78 for more information.

NOTE

•The Difference Between MEL- ODY R and MELODY L … Songs are a combination of a melody and an auto-accompani- ment style. Normally “melody” refers to the right-hand part, but in this instrument “melody” parts are provided for both the right and left hands. MELODY R is the melody part played by the right hand, and MELODY L is the melody part played by the left hand.
