Selecting sounds for the Keyboard parts
One Touch
The easiest way to select suitable Tones for the Key-
board parts while working with the Arranger is by
using the ONE TOUCH feature. The One Touch memo-
ries are in fact small User Programs. See p. 65 for
details.
(1) Press the desired ONE TOUCH button.
There are four One Touch memories per Music Style
(for the 136 factory Styles and 80 CUSTOM memo-
ries).
Note: One Touch memories usually switch on the SYNC START
function. If you don’t want the Arranger to start as soon as you
play a note or chord, switch off the [SYNC] button.
(2) Select a Music Style (page 25) and start Arranger
playback by pressing the [START÷STOP] button.
Start playing to the accompaniment. You will notice
that the sounds of all Keyboard parts match the
mood of the selected Style.
(3) Select a different Style and again play a solo line.
The active Keyboard part (probably UP1) now uses a
different sound (even Keyboard parts that are off
change sounds).
(4) Press another ONE TOUCH button to use that reg-
istration.
(5) Press the same button again if you no longer need
the One Touch setting.
Choosing sounds manually
The E-60/E-50 contains 1050 Tones (or sounds) and 33
Drum Sets divided over 8 families.
(1) Specify the part you wish to assign another sound
or Drum Set to:
Press the TONE ASSIGN button of the desired part (so
that it lights).
—or—
On the main page, press the row of the part you wish
to assign a different sound to.
In this case, the E-60/E-50 directly jumps to the TONE
page that contains the currently selected sound.
The arrow indicates which part is active for Tone
selection (its TONE ASSIGN button also lights).
Note: It is also possible to select sounds for Keyboard parts
that are currently switched off. This allows you to prepare the
next sound(s) while still playing another Keyboard part.
(2) Press a TONE button to select a family and its
“best” sound (the sound already changes at this
stage).
The display shows a list of Tones available in that
family:
(3) Press the field of the desired sound. If you don’t
like it, press another field.
The last sound you select in each family is memorized
temporarily and will be recalled every time you press
the corresponding TONE button. (That selection can
then be changed by pressing another field.)
(4) If you are still not happy with the Tone, use the
[PAGE¥1]~[PAGE¥5] and [˚] fields to select the corre-
sponding page (if available).
The [˚] field is only displayed if there are more than
five pages. Other Tone families have fewer than five
pages. This depends entirely on the Tone family you
select.
(5) Press the field of the desired sound.
