KR-11 – Piano screen functions
ENGLISH
ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH
EQUAL— The most common kind of tuning today. In
this tuning, an octave is divided into twelve equal
steps.
PYTHAGOREAN— Uses the Pythagorean scale. The
fourth and fifth intervals are kept from becoming
ambiguous in this tuning.
JUST (MAJOR)— In this tuning, the third and fifth
intervals are kept from becoming too ambiguous.
Choose this setting for pieces in a major key.
JUST (MINOR)— With this tuning you can achieve
the same effect as for Just Major, this time for pieces in
a minor key.
MEAN TONE— A partial compromise of the Just
(Major) tuning, to make transposition possible.
WERCKMEISTER— A combination of Mean Tone
and Pythagorean tunings.
KIRNBERGER— An improvement of the Mean Tone
and Just (Major) tunings, it is a tuning which allows
greater freedom of transposition.
When performing with these alternative tunings, you
need to specify the fundamental tone (the root for a
major key, the sixth for minor) to match the key of the
song you are performing.
When you are accompanying another instrument,
please tune to the fundamental tones of that
instrument.
4.
Set the Key note by pressing the key while holding
down <Tuning>.
You need to do this for all temperaments except Equal.
Note: The temperament you select here applies to all KR-11
parts (the keyboard parts, the Arranger parts, and the Com-
poser tracks/parts).
Marker function: repeatedly playing back the
same section
The KR-11 also provides a Marker and loop function
for you to practice difficult solos or to repeat a given
song part.
Markers are placed at the beginning of measures.
1.
Press <Marker>.
You can place markers at two locations in a song.
When you put a marker in a song, playback will start
from the beginning of the measure where the A
marker is put.
By way of example, let’s place a Marker at the begin-
ning of measure 5.
2.
Go to the target measure by pressing the [FWD]
and [BWD] buttons.
The measure number appears in the upper right of the
screen. Select measure 5.
3.
Press <Mark A>.
<Mark A> changes to “A:5.”
4.
Press the [PLAY] button.
Playback of the performance will begin at the begin-
ning of measure 5.
5.
Press <A:5>.
The KR-11 will return to the beginning of the fifth
measure, and begin playing back again.
You can press the <Mark A> button before, during, or
after playback.
The KR-11 memorizes the next downbeat. In other
words, if you press <Mark A> on the fourth beat of
measure 4, for example, the beginning of measure 5
will be marked. A more precise approach would be to
stop playback, fast forward or rewind to the desired
measure and then press <Mark A>.
■ Repeated playback (Repeat)
Example: Repeating playback of measures 5- 8
6.
See steps (2) and (3) above.
7.
Go to the measure where you want the loop to end
by pressing the [FWD] and [BWD] buttons.
The measure number appears in the upper right of the
screen. Select measure 9.
8.
Press <Mark B>.
Here is what you have just programmed:
9.
Press <Repeat>.
The song will return to measure five, where Mark A is
located.
10.
Press the [PLAY] button.
Measures 5~8 will play back repeatedly.
Note: If you forgot to program <Mark B>, the song will
repeat between <Mark A> and the end of the song.
Note: Likewise, if a song only has a <Mark B>, pressing
<Repeat> will start a loop between the beginning of the
song and <Mark B>.
■ Erasing Marks
Hold down <Clear> and press either <A: (the measure
number)> or <B: (the measure number)> to erase a
marker.
