Bsc/Adv— Switches between the Basic (B) and
Advanced (D) levels. These two patterns are available
via the VA-76’s Orchestrator function.

Or/Var— Switches between Original and Variation
and thus duplicates the functions of the [ORIGINAL]
and [VARIATION] buttons on the front panel.

FO/FV— Triggers the Fill-In To Original the first time
around, and the Fill-In To Variation the second time.
This duplicates the function of the [FILL] button that
leads you from the Original to the Variation pattern by
playing one Fill-In, and from the Variation to the
Original pattern by playing another Fill-In.

Fill To Previous— This also starts a Fill-In but does
not switch to the Variation pattern (if the Original pat-
tern is currently selected), and vice versa.

Intro, Ending— Same function as the [INTRO] or
[ENDING] button. If Arranger playback is stopped,
using the Aftertouch will select the Intro. If used dur-
ing Arranger playback, the Aftertouch will select the
Ending.

Note: Even Aftertouch messages generated outside the chord
recognition area (see below) will trigger the selected switch-
ing function.

Style Morphing (part 2)

On page 63, we showed you how to morph using two
internal Styles. Morphing with one internal Style and
a Style on disk is just as easy:

1. Select the following display page:

• Press the [Style] field on the Master page (as though

you wanted to select a Music Style). On the page that
appears next, press the [Orchestrator] field.

• Or press the [ORCHESTRATOR] button.

You can only assign a Style on Zip or floppy to the 1st
Style
.

2. Insert a Zip or floppy disk into the (appropriate)
drive.

3. Press the [1st Style] field.

4. On the page that appears now, press the [Disk User]
field in the lower left corner of the display.

The display now looks more or less as follows:

The rest is exactly the same as selecting a Disk User
Style:

5. Press the [FLOPPY] or [ZIP] field to specify
whether you want to load a Music Style from a Zip or
a floppy disk.

6. Press the field that contains the name of the Music
Style you want to load.

7. If the desired Music Style is not displayed, use
[
o][k] to select another group of 4 Styles.

8. Press the [LOAD] field to copy the data of the
selected Music Style to the VA-76’s Disk User mem-
ory.

9. Start morphing with the Style in the Disk User
memory (1st Style) and the internal Style (2nd Style).

10. Press [EXIT] to return to the Master page.
