Roland KF-90 用户手册

This is an abbreviation of “Arrangement.” It refers to 
changes that have been made in an original tune, by adding a 
new accompaniment or by changing the instruments used.

The KF-90 automatically plays accompaniment when just a 
few keys in the lower section of the keyboard are pressed to 
specify the chord. This is called the “One Touch Arranger” 
(p. 67).

The flashing dot that moves in a semicircular pattern across 
the screen of the KF-90 is called a “Bouncing Ball” (p. 63).

The six performance states that make up a Music Style are 
called “Divisions” (p. 67).

A Drum Set is a collection of percussive instrument sounds. 
With drum sets, a different sound can be heard for each key 
on the keyboard. The special effects sound set is called the 
“SFX Set” (p. 58).

Editing is to change the song you have recorded, such as by 
erasing part of the song, or copying a measure (p. 124).

This is the last part of the accompaniment. When you stop 
playing the automatic accompaniment, the KF-90 plays an 
ending appropriate for the style (p. 74).

A combined performance of two or more instruments is 
called an “Ensemble.”

The on-screen graphics that appear three dimensional work 
like buttons. These are called “Icons.”

This is the introductory portion of an automatic 
accompaniment performance. The KF-90 plays an intro 
ideally suited to each style when it starts playing the 
automatic accompaniment (p. 74).

This is the sensation of heaviness—the “touch”—of the keys 
when the keyboard is played.
The KF-90 100 levels of adjustment (p. 144).

Playing with two different tones on a key simultaneously is 
called “Layer Play” (p. 53).

Music Styles are performance patterns in various musical 
genres. A Music Style is played automatically in accord with 
the specified chord using the KF-90’s One-touch Arranger 
Function (p. 67).

On the KF-90, “Part” can have two different meanings. One 
meaning refers to a performance part (p. 67), such as the 
right-hand part of a piano song. The other refers to the 16 
parts in the 16-track sequencer (p. 118).

A song that does not start on the first beat starts with what is 
called a pickup. When playing a pickup song, the measures 
will be shown in the display as “PU, 1, 2...”.

Saving is storing the recorded performance data onto a 
floppy disk (p. 109).

The sound generator of the KF-90 supports GM2/GS, and 
can play 608 different sounds (p. 183).

The division of the keyboard into upper and lower zones is 
referred to as “Split,” and different tones can be played in the 
keys on different sides of the key that acts as the boundary 
between the upper part and lower part (p. 55).

The pitch of the sound created by playing the middle A on 
the keyboard is called the “Standard Pitch.” Changing the 
standard pitch of the KF-90 is called “Master Tune,” and 
tuning to other musical instrument is called “Tuning” (p. 
151).
