Playing phrases

During your performance, you can insert a short recorded phrase or effect sounds by pressing a pad button. A different group of
phrases is recorded in each bank.

1.

Press the BANK button.

2.

Select the desired bank from the display.

• The list of banks consists of three screen pages. Use the

PAGE buttons to move from one screen page to another.

• “User Bank” 1, 2 and 3 are for storing your original

phrases.

• “Compile Bank” 1 and 2 are for assigning phrases as you

desire.

• Various functions are assigned to each pad button in

“Control Preset”.

seconds.

3.

Press a pad button (1 to 6).

• A different phrase is assigned to each pad button.

• Information about the phrase, such as its name and the

measure number, is shown in the normal display.

• The volume can be adjusted on the normal display.

• The selected phrase is played in the current tempo.

button.

• Some phrases continue to play until the STOP button is

pressed (the LOOP indication appears).

• During a rhythm performance, some phrases may play in

time with the measure count.

• When the automatic accompaniment is on, the phrase is

played in the specified chord.

SOLO

Pad buttons 5 and 6  (SOLO) are phrases with chord pro-
gressions. Just by pressing one of these pad buttons, the
phrase changes following a chord progression that is typical
for the music genre of that bank.
• Use with the automatic accompaniment during your per-

formance.

• Pad button 5 accesses a major chord type progression, and

pad button 6 a minor chord type progression.

• A table showing the chord progression for each bank can

be found in the separate REFERENCE GUIDE provided.

AUTO SETTTING

When this button is set to on, the bank automatically changes
according to the automatic setting functions in the PIANO
STYLIST, the ONE TOUCH PLAY and the MUSIC STYLE
ARRANGER. When it is set to off, the bank does not auto-
matically change according to these functions.
