    Playing the rhythm
    Music Style Arranger
    The MUSIC STYLE ARRANGER helps you to make professional registration changes during your perfor-
    mance. Select between four contrasting registrations at the push of a button, or let your instrument
    change the registration automatically for you when you use FILL IN 1 or 2. The MUSIC STYLE
    ARRANGER will also alter the accompaniment in character with the registration change creating a pol-
    ished sounding arrangement.
    How to use the MUSIC STYLE
    ARRANGER
    1.Select a rhythm pattern.
    Do not select the METRONOME or the MEMORY button.
    2.Press the MUSIC STYLE ARRANGER button
    to turn it on.
    3.Use the VARIATION buttons to select a style
    (1 to 4).
    The nuance of the pattern differs with each number.
    The panel settings (including the tempo) change accord-
    ing to the selected rhythm and music style. The AUTO
    PLAY CHORD, the MEMORY and the SYNCHRO &
    BREAK button are automatically turned on. When a key
    on the left section of the keyboard is pressed, the auto-
    matic rhythm begins to play immediately.
    During your performance, the style can be changed, but
    the tempo does not change.
    How to change the music style 
    during your performance
    While you are playing the keyboard with the
    MUSIC STYLE ARRANGER on, press the FILL
    IN 1 or FILL IN 2 button.
    Each time the FILL IN 1 button is pressed, the FILL IN 1
    pattern plays, and then the music style changes in the 4
    ➝ 3 ➝ 2 ➝ 1 order. And each time the FILL IN 2 button is
    pressed, the FILL IN 2 pattern plays, and then the style
    changes in the 1 ➝ 2 ➝ 3 ➝ 4 order.

    Sequencer
    Part III   Sequencer
    Outline of the Sequencer
    A sequencer records your performance in a similar way to a tape recorder. This instrument’s
    SEQUENCER allows you to record up to 10 performances in a variety of ways. You may want to record
    your entire performance in one go (especially if you are using AUTO PLAY CHORD to provide the
    accompaniment), or to build up a complex arrangement with several different parts playing together, like
    an orchestral score. This instrument’s SEQUENCER has 16 tracks. This means that you can record 16
    different parts. However, you don’t have to use all 16 tracks. For some uses you may only need to use
    one or two tracks. This instrument’s SEQUENCER enables you to edit your recorded performance. Unlike
    a tape recorder you can change the sound or the tempo during playback, or correct wrong notes or timing
    errors.
    SEQUENCER features
    
     You can change the tempo without 
    changing the pitch
    When you record your performance at a slow
    tempo and play it back at a faster tempo, the
    pitch stays the same.
    
     Consistent sound
    Your performance is reproduced by a sound
    module as it reads digital data. So, unlike a
    recorded tape, the sound never deteriorates no
    matter how many times you play back your per-
    formance.
    
     Edit your recorded performance
    Comprehensive editing functions allow you to
    modify your recorded performance. Data can
    easily be erased, corrected or copied, providing
    an especially convenient tool for creating your
    original tunes.
    
     Instant search
    A recorded tape has to be rewound, but digital
    action means you can return to the beginning of
    your performance, or find any measure, instantly.
    Popular features
    
     Simplified recording method
    EASY RECORD is a feature that allows you to
    bypass the more complex recording procedures
    so you can record and play back your perform-
    ance quickly and easily.
     You can also record an accompaniment from the AUTO
    PLAY CHORD.
    
     Create a one-man ensemble
    Use the REALTIME RECORD function to record
    your performance in up to 16 tracks and create
    your own orchestra or band.
    
     Store individual data to create your song
    For repeating patterns or those especially com-
    plicated phrases, the STEP RECORD feature is
    convenient for recording the notes one-by-one.
    Memory capacity
    Up to 10 songs can be stored in the
    SEQUENCER. Expressed in terms of notes, the
    total number of notes which can be stored in all
    the SEQUENCER songs and tracks is about
    40,000. The remaining memory available for
    recording is shown on the display as a percent-
    age (MEMORY= %).
     When “Memory full!” appears on the display, no more
    data can be stored in the SEQUENCER.
