Melody Intelligence
The Melody Intelligence function adds a second voice (harmony
notes) to the melodies you play with your right hand. In fact,
the Melody Intelligence function uses both halves of the key-
board to determine which notes to play:
• It looks at the melody notes in the right half; and…
• It analyzes the chords you play in the left half to see which
notes it must add to your melody.
Press the [MELODY¥INTELLIGENCE] button so that the corre-
sponding icon (see right illustration) appears in the display.
Changing the Melody Intelligence harmony type
The E-200/E-100 contains 18 different voicings (harmony
types) for the MELODY INTELLIGENCE function. These voic-
ings specify the number of harmony notes and the way in
which they are added to your melody.
To select a different harmony type, press an hold the
[MELODY¥INTELLIGENCE] button until the “MI” message
appears in the upper left corner of the display.
Then use the [NO/–]/[YES/+] buttons to select the desired
voicing. The available types are:
Note: The Melody Intelligence setting can be saved to a User
Program memory.
Bass Inversion (Bass Inv)
Use this function to change the way in which the Arranger
reads the chords you play.
When this function is off (default), the Acc Bass part plays the
root of the chords that feed the Arranger. If you play a “C” (or C
chord), the bass sounds a “C”; if you play an A minor chord (or if
you press “A” and the “C” to its right), the bass sounds an A, etc.
By activating Bass Inversion, you can specify the note played by
the A. Bass part (the lowest note of your chords). Switch on Bass
Inversion for songs that rely on bass rather than on chord pat-
terns (for example C – C/B – C/Bb, etc.).
(1) Press the [FUNCTION] button.
(2) Use FAMILY [√][®] to select “ARR SET”.
The E-200/E-100’s Function parameters are divided into 9
logical “families”. As the Bass Inversion parameter is an
Arranger function, you need to select the Arranger settings
(hence ARR SET).
(3) Use SELECT [√][®] to select the “BassInv” parameter.
(4) Press the [+] button to select “ON” for “VALUE”.
Note: See also “Working with the FAMILY and SELECT buttons”
(p. 17).
(5) Press another “big” button in the DATA ENTRY section to
leave this function.
Note: This setting can be saved to a User Program (see p. 41).
