Additional Music Style functions<br />

Adding yet another Arranger part (Style Pad)<br />

The SESSION PARTNER buttons can also be used for the “STYLE PAD” function. That allows you to add a<br />

part to Arranger playback, which is not part of the Music Style itself (either in ROM or on floppy).<br />

Like the DJ PAD function (see p. 9), the STYLE<br />

PAD function provides eight different phrases<br />

you can access via the SESSION PARTNER buttons<br />

[1/9]~[8/16]. (And there are also sets, see<br />

below). And like for the DJ PAD function, the key<br />

of the phrases depends on the chords you play<br />

in the left half of the keyboard.<br />

Here, however, you can only use one phrase at a<br />

time.<br />

(1) Press the KBD MODE [ARRANGER] button<br />

(its indicator lights).<br />

ARRANGER<br />

(2) Select the desired Music Style (see p. 14).<br />

This also determines which phrase set is<br />

selected automatically. See below for<br />

details.<br />

(3) Press the [STYLE PAD/DJ PAD] button. The<br />

STYLE PAD indicator must light.<br />

STYLE<br />

PAD<br />

(4) Press [START/STOP] to start Arranger playback.<br />

(5) Use the SESSION PARTNER [1/9]~[8/16]<br />

buttons for starting playback of the<br />

desired additional Arranger phrase.<br />

Press it again to switch off Style Pad playback.<br />

Press another [1/9]~[8/16] button to<br />

start the phrase assigned to that button.<br />

The previously selected phrase will be<br />

switched off (if it is still running).<br />

The Style Pad function is also available<br />

while Arranger playback is stopped. And<br />

even in that case, its key (pitch) changes as<br />

you play different chords in the left half of<br />

the keyboard.<br />

Note: Do not press the [TRACK] button, because<br />

that would switch off the STYLE PAD function (and<br />

instead activate the mute on/off function, see<br />

above).<br />

Selecting another phrase set<br />

As stated earlier, selecting an internal Music Style automatically specifies the set of eight phrases you<br />

can start/stop via the SESSION PARTNER [1]~[8] buttons. You can, however, override this automatic<br />

selection:<br />

(1) Press and hold the [FUNCTION] button,<br />

while pressing the BANK/NUMBER [3]<br />

button.<br />

FUNCTION<br />

(2) Use the [T<strong>EM</strong>PO/DATA] dial to select one<br />

of the following sets:<br />

01 Baladi<br />

02 Maksoum<br />

03 Saidi<br />

04 Khaligi<br />

05 Rock<br />

06 Dance<br />

07 Pop 1<br />

08 Pop 2<br />

09 Rock’N<br />

10 Swing<br />

11 Latin<br />

12 Waltz<br />

This selects the “PAD SELECT” function (indicated<br />

as “PAD” in the upper left corner of<br />

the display).<br />
