Soloing a part
1. Hold down the SOLO key and press the part key that you want to
solo. You will hear only that part. (The SOLO key and part key will
light.)
2. While the SOLO key is lit, you can press another part key to solo
that part.
3. If you want to solo two or more parts, hold down the SOLO key and
select the parts that you want to solo. Alternatively, hold down the
SOLO key (or PART MUTE key) while the SOLO key is already lit
and press a part key to add it to the soloed parts.
4. When you press and then release the SOLO key, the Solo function
and Mute function will be defeated (the key will go dark).
By holding down the SHIFT key and pressing a drum part key, you can
turn all drum part keys on/off. By holding down the SHIFT key and
pressing a non-drum part key, you can turn on/off keys other than the
drum parts.
Adding accents to a part
Specifying the accent locations and strength
You can apply an accent (volume emphasis) independently to the
drum parts and to the keyboard parts.
If accent is on, notes at the accented location (step) will be empha-
sized.
1. Press the ACCENT key; the step keys will indicate the accented lo-
cations.
2. Each time you press a step key, the accent will be turned on/off for
that location, letting you specify the accent pattern.
3. Use the level knob in the Part Common section to adjust the amount
of accent. Turning the knob toward the right will produce a greater
difference between the accented and un-accented sounds. If you turn
the knob all the way to the left, there will be no difference between
the accented and un-accented sounds.
Pressing the accent part key will not produce any sound. Also, when
you press a part key to play its sound, the sound will play at the
accented level.
By playing back the pattern while you make this adjustment you can
hear the results.
Accent settings will not affect a part whose ACCENT SW is turned
off.
Specifying the parts that will be accented
ACCENT SW ...............................................................On, Off
You can enable/disable the accent function separately for each part.
1. Press the PART EDIT key (it will light).
2. Use the [ ]/[ ] cursor keys until the parameter display shows “Ac-
cent Sw.” The “ ” symbols at the bottom of the screen will show the
accent status (enabled/disabled) of each part. Press a part key, and
turn the dial to switch the accent function on (lit) or off (dark) for
that part.
When you execute Pattern Clear, the accent switch will be turned on
for all parts.
