One Touch
You may find yourself using the One Touch function at
regular intervals, because it automates quite a few
tasks. The E-60/E-50’s One Touch memories are actu-
ally “miniature User Programs” that go way beyond
anything you may know from other arranger instru-
ments.
(1) Press a ONE TOUCH button.
There are four One Touch memories per Music Style
(for the 136 factory Styles and 80 CUSTOM memo-
ries).
(2) Select a Style (page 25) and start Arranger play-
back (see p. 60).
(3) Play a melody to the accompaniment.
You will notice that the sound of the UP1 (or any
other Keyboard part) matches the style and mood of
the selected Style.
(4) Select a different Style and again play a solo line:
the active Keyboard parts now use different
sounds.
(5) Press another ONE TOUCH button.
(6) Press the same button again if you no longer need
the One Touch setting.
As you see, the One Touch memories apply to all Key-
board parts.
Note: If a One Touch memory is active while you recall a User
Program, the One Touch function is switched off.
If you select a One Touch memory while another
one is already active
In that case, the E-60/E-50 immediately selects of the
settings of that memory and thus changes the regis-
tration.
Ignoring certain One Touch settings (Hold)
The E-60/E-50 provides several “HOLD” options that
allow you to filter certain One Touch settings.
(1) Press and hold a ONE TOUCH [1]~[4] button.
The display changes to:
(2) Press the fields corresponding to the settings that
should not be loaded when you select another One
Touch memory or Music Style.
When you change a setting, the field of the last One
Touch memory you selected is indicated by means of
an asterisk (*). Button icons in the HOLD column
whose indicator lights refer to settings that are not
updated:
TEMPO—The preset tempo of the selected Music Style.
KBD PART—The current status of the Keyboard parts
(UP1/2, LWR and MBS). The on/off status of the Key-
board parts can be saved to a One Touch memory.
INTRO/ENDING—The INTRO or ENDING pattern is no
longer activated when you select Styles.
MAIN VAR—When you select another Style, the E-60/
E-50 no longer loads the memorized MAIN VARIATION
[1]~[4] pattern, but goes on using the last pattern you
selected.
Press the [ALL] field to switch on all HOLD options.
Press [NONE] to switch all options off.
Note: The One Touch function is switched off whenever you
select a User Program.
(3) Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main page.
Programming your own One Touch settings
(WRITE)
The E-60/E-50 allows you to save your own ONE TOUCH
settings for the selected Style. This may come in handy
for CUSTOM Styles (see page 70) for which there are no
“presets”.
These customized One Touch settings are stored within
the Styles themselves.
(1) Press and hold a ONE TOUCH [1]~[4] button.
The display changes to:
(2) Press the [WRITE] field (it lights).

One Touch settings.
