Glossary
Arrange
This is an abbreviation of “Arrangement.” It refers to
changes that have been made in an original tune, by adding a
new accompaniment or by changing the instruments used.
Automatic Accompaniment
The KF-90 automatically plays accompaniment when just a
few keys in the lower section of the keyboard are pressed to
specify the chord. This is called the “One Touch Arranger”
(p. 67).
Bouncing Ball
The flashing dot that moves in a semicircular pattern across
the screen of the KF-90 is called a “Bouncing Ball” (p. 63).
Chord
Two or more notes sounding at the same time (p. 68).
Division
The six performance states that make up a Music Style are
called “Divisions” (p. 67).
Drum Set
A Drum Set is a collection of percussive instrument sounds.
With drum sets, a different sound can be heard for each key
on the keyboard. The special effects sound set is called the
“SFX Set” (p. 58).
Edit
Editing is to change the song you have recorded, such as by
erasing part of the song, or copying a measure (p. 124).
Ending
This is the last part of the accompaniment. When you stop
playing the automatic accompaniment, the KF-90 plays an
ending appropriate for the style (p. 74).
Ensemble
A combined performance of two or more instruments is
called an “Ensemble.”
Icon
The on-screen graphics that appear three dimensional work
like buttons. These are called “Icons.”
Intro
This is the introductory portion of an automatic
accompaniment performance. The KF-90 plays an intro
ideally suited to each style when it starts playing the
automatic accompaniment (p. 74).
Key Touch
This is the sensation of heaviness—the “touch”—of the keys
when the keyboard is played.
The KF-90 100 levels of adjustment (p. 144).
Layer Play
Playing with two different tones on a key simultaneously is
called “Layer Play” (p. 53).
Music Style
Music Styles are performance patterns in various musical
genres. A Music Style is played automatically in accord with
the specified chord using the KF-90’s One-touch Arranger
Function (p. 67).
Part
On the KF-90, “Part” can have two different meanings. One
meaning refers to a performance part (p. 67), such as the
right-hand part of a piano song. The other refers to the 16
parts in the 16-track sequencer (p. 118).
Pickup
A song with a pickup does not start on the first beat (p. 104).
PU (Pickup)
A song that does not start on the first beat starts with what is
called a pickup. When playing a pickup song, the measures
will be shown in the display as “PU, 1, 2...”.
Save
Saving is storing the recorded performance data onto a
floppy disk (p. 109).
Sound Generator
The sound generator of the KF-90 supports GM2/GS, and
can play 608 different sounds (p. 183).
Split Play
The division of the keyboard into upper and lower zones is
referred to as “Split,” and different tones can be played in the
keys on different sides of the key that acts as the boundary
between the upper part and lower part (p. 55).
Standard Pitch
The pitch of the sound created by playing the middle A on
the keyboard is called the “Standard Pitch.” Changing the
standard pitch of the KF-90 is called “Master Tune,” and
tuning to other musical instrument is called “Tuning” (p.
151).
