LYRICS & SCORE button
Press this button if you want the lyrics contained in
the songs to appear in the display. At the same time,
the chords of the notes played by the song parts will
also be displayed. This, however, is information that is
“extracted” (derived) in realtime by the E-80. This

part as a score. This button also provides access to
the VIEWER function (see p. 56).

environment where you can select Music Style regis-
trations for a given song you want to play. You can

This controller allows you to influence the timbre of
the notes you play, to control song playback and to
create some unique effects. All you need to do is
move your hand up/down or left/right above the two
“eyes”.
The D BEAM buttons F allow you to assign the
desired function to the D Beam controller. See p. 72.
P
LCD CONTRAST knob
Use this knob to adjust the display’s contrast if it is
difficult to read. The display itself is a touch screen
and therefore needs to be clear at all times (so that
you know what you are doing).
Note: The display may take some time to warm up. That is why
you may have to change the contrast several times after pow-
ering on.
Q
COVER button
This button provides access to pre-programmed tem-
plates that allow you to quickly modify a song’s or
Music Style’s character. Press it once or twice to

rent song or Music Style, if the pre-programmed
Cover settings do not provide what you’re looking
for. See page 140.

access to more in-depth E-80 functions you may only
wish to set from time to time.
