METRONOME
This function key starts the Metronome in Play and Record modes.
When active, the Metronome icon is shown in the display.
SUSTAIN
Active (led ON), non active (led OFF)
This is a general control which activates the sustain effect on all three Real
Time keyboard sections, independent of the Damper pedal.
If you want to sustain the Sounds of the UPPER 1, UPPER 2 and LOWER
sections, activate this function.
HARMONY
Enables or disables the HARMONY function, a feature which can orche-
strate your playing, making simple one-note melodies sound as if they are
being played by a full orchestra. The corresponding display indicator turns
on when HARMONY is active.
The structure of the automatic harmony is based on the current Harmony
Type setting and only operates when the keyboard is split.
By holding down the HARMONY button for about 2 seconds, the display
shows the currently selected Harmony Type.
With the PAGE buttons, you can select the Harmony type that best suits
the kind of music that you are playing.
The types of Harmony available are divided into two categories, according
to whether the Harmony depends on the notes played with the left hand or
not.
Harmony types that depend on the notes played below the split point
Closed: The notes played by the left hand are added to the melo-
dy note exactly as played. The harmonising chord is a
closed (or tight) position (notes fall within the same octa-
ve).
Open 1: same as above, close but with an open chord (notes
spread over 2 octaves).
STYLE / TEMPO LOCK
The STYLE LOCK function allows you to select Performances without
changing the current Style.
When STYLE LOCK is active (the display indicator is ON), you can move
from one Performance to another without changing the Style..
If you hold down this button for about 2 seconds, the TEMPO LOCK function
activates (as already explained).
The status of the TEMPO LOCK function is displayed by the alternate
flashing of the Tempo setting with the word ‘LOC’. This function maintains
the current Tempo setting for all Style and Performance changes. When
OFF, selecting a Style or Performance also recalls the original tempo setting.
TEMPO LOCK and STYLE LOCK can both be active at the same time.
