Roland V-Arranger Keyboard VA-76 - Manual (Page 35)

VA-76 – Tone clinic
Active parts are displayed in white fields (and their
button lights, see below), while switched-off parts are
displayed in blue.
5. If necessary, change the split point. See “Split point
in Arranger mode” on page 35.
This split point indeed applies both to the chord rec-
ognition area of the Arranger and the SPLIT keyboard
mode.
Note: If you like, you can activate a Hold function for the
LW1/2 parts. That way, briefly pressing the notes to be
played by the LW1/2 parts is enough. The Arranger has a
similar function (called ARR Hold). See also “LWR Hold”
on page 90.
Note: If none of the part fields is displayed in white (and if
non of the KEYBOARD PARTS buttons lights), the notes
you play on the keyboard will not be audible. (It would,
however, be possible to go on controlling the Arranger.)
Note: Your settings can be written to a User Program and
recalled at a later stage. See page 127.
4.2 Tone clinic
Selecting Tones for the Keyboard parts
On page 28 we already mentioned the SUPER TONES
buttons that can be used for selecting one of 40 Tones
for the UP1 part, and the One Touch function that
prepares 4 different Tones for both the UP1 and UP2
parts. See also “One Touch” on page 99.
Let us now have a look at the “classic” way of selecting
Tones. This selection method is available for all Key-
board parts.
In fact, there are two possibilities that can be used
indiscriminately at any stage, except for selecting a
Variation (only via the display). For the sake of clarity,
however, we shall treat them as separate items.
Tone selection via the front panel
Note: All button actions are also reflected by the display. See
“Tone selection via the display” on page 39 for the informa-
tion that appears on-screen.
1. Tell the VA-76 that you wish to select a Tone
(sound): press the [TONE] button.
The VA-76 uses a nifty color coding system. As soon as
you press the [TONE] button, its indicator as well as
the BANK and NUMBER buttons of the currently
selected Tone light in red. The color for Music Style
selection (see page 59) is green, while orange is used
for selecting User Programs.
The display now looks as follows:
The name next to the [A]/[B] fields tells you which
Keyboard part is currently active for Tone selection:
Note: The numbers in the upper right corner of the display
indicate the MIDI address of the selected Tone (“Organ 1”).
You can select a Tone for Upper1 (UP1).
