E-80 Music Workstation
Portamento Mode: Mono/Poly
The E-80 also allows you to set the Upper1 and Upper2
parts to mono(phonic) mode. MONO means that you
can only play one note at a time. You could select this
mode to play a trumpet or woodwind part in a more
natural way. POLY, on the other hand, means that you
can play chords using the selected part.
(5) Press the [MONO] or [POLY] field of the Upper part
whose setting you want to change.
(6) Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main page.
Note: Portamento and POLY/MONO are not available for the
Harmonic Bar sounds.
Lower Hold
The E-80 is an instrument that allows you to change
many settings in realtime. Because you can trigger the
Lower 1/2 parts and the Arranger simultaneously,
selecting another Music Style pattern usually means
that you have to lift your left hand from the keyboard.
If the LOWER HOLD function is not active in SPLIT
mode, the Lower (LW) parts stop sounding as soon as
you release all keys in the left area.
If you press a [LOWER¥HOLD] field, however (so that is
its displayed in blue), the notes of that Lower part go on
sounding until you play other notes in the left keyboard
area.
If both the LW1 (or LW2) and MBS parts are active, the
selected LOWER HOLD function sustains the notes of
both parts.
Note: The LOWER HOLD functions are only available in SPLIT
mode.
(1) Press the [MENU] button.
The display changes to:
(2) Press the [SPLIT&TOUCH] field, followed by the
[KEYBOARD¥OPTIONS] field.
(3) Switch on at least one LW part (its PART ON/OFF
button must light).
(4) Press the [LOWER¥1¥HOLD] or [LOWER¥2¥HOLD]
field to switch it on.
You can also switch both HOLD fields on.
(5) Play a short note in the left half of the keyboard
and release the key.
This note goes on sounding until you press another
note or chord in the left half of the keyboard.
Note: These parameters can also be switched on and off using
an optional FC-7 pedal (see p. 76) or footswitch (see p. 78).
(6) Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main page.
