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).
13.3 Global 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.
Master Tune
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.
