Organ music — One Touch Program [ORGAN]
Press the One Touch Program [ORGAN] button.
A picture of an organ will appear on the screen, with
the keyboard split at F#3 into Lower (left hand) and
Upper (right hand) parts.
The Tones currently assigned to the left (Lower) and
right (Upper) halves of the keyboard are called “Lower
Organ 1” and “Jazz Organ 1”. These Tones make up
the Jazz Organ type. See below for how to choose
another organ Type.
■ Adjusting the Rotary Effect
The Jazz Organ has an added rotary effect. This simu-
lates those famous rotary speakers that are indispens-
able for a true organ sound.
To change the rotation speed, press the soft button
assigned to this function. Each press toggles the rota-
tion speed between S (Slow) and F (Fast).
■ Selecting an organ Type
Use <√Type> and <Type®> to make your selection.
The selected organ Type remains in effect until the
power is turned off. In other words, if you select
another One Touch Program mode and then press
[ORGAN] again, the KR-11 will use the last organ
Type you selected.
Note: When the power is switched off, the KR-11 reverts to
“Jazz Organ”.
■ The Function menu —<Func...>
This feature is used to make settings for the various
functions related to organ performances. For more
information, please refer to “Function Menu” on
page 42.
Accompaniment — One Touch Program
[ARRANGER]
The KR-11 comes with an “Arranger” function that
provides an automatic, yet interactive, accompani-
ment you can use to accompany your melodies and
solos. 136 accompaniments (called Music Styles) cov-
ering all popular musical genres are built-in. Other
Styles can be loaded from the supplied floppy disk,
while you can also create your own Styles.
The Arranger is interactive and always adapts the key
of the accompaniments to the chords you play (see
“What is an Arranger?” on page 24).
■ How to use the Arranger
Here’s all you need to do to be able to use the KR-11’s
Arranger:
1.
Press the One Touch Program [ARRANGER] but-
ton.
The keyboard is now split at F#3 into a Lower (left half
of the keyboard) and an Upper section (right half).
2.
Select a Music Style (see “Selecting Music Styles” on
page 25).
3.
Play a chord in the Lower section to start the
accompaniment.
Style playback starts with an introduction. Wait until
the Intro is finished before you start playing the mel-
ody in the Upper section. If the accompaniment is too
fast, you can slow it down with the TEMPO [–] but-
ton.
The KR-11 has a number of features that make playing
with the Arranger even easier:
• For major chords, just press the key of the root note
(see “Easy fingering – Chord Intelligence” on page 29).
• You can release the keys in the Lower section after
playing the desired chord. The Arranger will go on
playing in that key until you play another chord.
4.
At the end of your song, press the [INTRO/
ENDING] button.
How about trying using the Arranger in a real-life
situation? Here’s what to do to play this piece that you
