KEYBOARD MODE section
These three buttons are used to specify whether the
keyboard will be split or whether one sound can be
played using the entire keyboard. Press the [OTHER]
button if you want to use other configurations than
“Arranger left/melody right” (ARRANGER) or “one
sound for the entire keyboard” (PIANO).
[OTHER] also provides access to other keyboard-
related functions, such as transposition, the Octave
function, and parameters for fine-tuning Arranger
response.

USER PROGRAM [DOWN]/[UP] buttons
These buttons allow you to select the previous

[ONE TOUCH] button (see page 14) to transpose the
VA-76 in semitone steps, or to return to the ‘no trans-
position’ (0 semitones) setting.
