(6) Use the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial or the [DEC]/[INC] but-
tons to set the desired “Threshold”.
You can also press the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial and enter
the value using the on-screen numeric pad.
The “Threshold” value represents the lowest velocity
value (between “1” and “127”) of the UP1 part that
triggers the MELODY INTELL part. If you don’t need
this switching function, select “Off”.
(7) Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main page.
(8) Press the [MELODY¥INTELL] button once again to
switch off this function.
Note: All MELODY INTELL settings can be written to a User
Program and recalled at a later stage. See p. 125.
Linking MELODY INTELL type selection to the
Styles (Style Melody Intell Link)
By default, the E-80 automatically loads the MELODY
INTELL type that is suited for the Styles you select. If
you don’t need this automatic selection, here is how to
switch it off:
(1) Press the [MENU] button.
The display changes to:
(2) Press the [UTILITY], then the [GLOBAL] field.
(3) Press the [STYLE¥MELODY¥INT¥LINK] field to switch
it off. If it is on, the E-80 assigns a suitable
MELODY INTELLIGENCE type to each Style you
select.
(4) Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main page.
Using the Style Cover function
The COVER function provides “masks” that change the
instrumentation of the selected Style. Simply by select-
ing another preset, you can cause a Viennese waltz to
be played back by a heavy metal band, etc. Even though
the arrangement (rhythm, riffs) does not change, the
Style’s character can be modified beyond recognition.
(1) Press the [COVER] button once or twice to select
the display page shown below.
(2) Select the parts whose instrumentation you want
to change:
• Press the [ALL] field if all instruments should be
replaced.
• Press the [DRUM] field if only the drum and percus-
sion instruments should change.
• Press the [BASS] field if you’re happy with everything
but the bass line’s sound.
(3) Press one of the six fields in the lower half of the
display to select another preset.
Press [ORIGINAL] (page 1) to return to the original
orchestration.
(4) If none of the displayed presets appeal to you, use
the PAGE [ø][˚] fields at the right to jump to
another page with different presets.
(5) If you like the new version better than the original
one, press the [SAVE] field to save the Style to the
internal memory, a memory card or floppy disk (see
p. 86).
Note: The COVER information is part of the data only the E-80
understands.
Note: You can also modify the COVER settings yourself (see
p. 140).
