More refined Arranger settings
Chord recognition area (ZONE)
Telling the E-80 that you want to use the Arranger is a
matter of pressing the EASY SETTING [ARR] button. In
that case, the key of the Style patterns is controlled by
the chords you play in the left half of the keyboard.
You can also tell the Arranger to scan another part of
the keyboard for usable chords. Though LEFT is proba-
bly the most popular setting, you can also select RIGHT
to have the Arranger scan the right half of the key-
board. Select WHOLE if the Arranger should scan the
entire keyboard. If you don’t want the Arranger to “lis-
ten” to the chords you play, choose OFF. In that case,
you will only hear the drum parts of the Music Styles
you select.
The range of the LEFT or RIGHT keyboard area depends
on the main split point (see “Setting the split point” on
page 65).
(1) On the main page, press the [CHORD] field.
You can also select this page by pressing [MENU] but-

The display changes to:
(2) Press the ZONE [LEFT], [WHOLE], [RIGHT] or [OFF]
field to select the chord recognition area.
(3) Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main page.
Note: When you press the EASY SETTING [ARR] button, the
[LEFT] setting is selected.
Note: “OFF” can also be assigned to an ASSIGN SW button
(page 71) and an optional footswitch (page 75).
