S
VariPhrase section
These buttons provide access to the revolutionary
VariPhrase function of your VA-76.
T
SUPER TONES buttons
Use these buttons to select one of the five so-called
“Super Tones”. These are sounds for the Upper 1 part
you may want to use more often than others. There are
two sets of five that can both be edited: the FACTORY
and the USER group. You can thus prepare 10 favorite
Tones. See page 40 for details.
U
DATA button
When this button lights (which is sometimes the case
every time you select an adjustable parameter), you
can press it to call up an on-screen 10-key pad. Use
this pad for entering the desired parameter value.
V
TEMPO/TAP button
If the [DATA] button lights, press this button (so that
it lights) whenever you need to change the Style or
Song tempo. Then use the [TEMPO/DATA] dial to set
the desired value. Press and hold this button to have
access to various tempo options. You can also press it
rhythmically to enter the tempo like musicians do: by
tapping it.
W
STYLE, TONE and USER PROGRAM buttons
These buttons allow you to specify the function of the
BANK and NUMBER buttons. They are color-coded
for easy identification: [STYLE]= green, [TONE]=
red, [USER PROGRAM]= orange. These colors are
reflected by the active BANK/NUMBER buttons.
X
TEMPO/DATA dial
The function of this dial depends on the status of the
[TEMPO/TAP] and [DATA] buttons. If the [TEMPO/
TAP] button lights, the dial can be used to set the
desired tempo. If the [DATA] button lights, the dial
can be used for setting the value of the currently
selected parameter.
Y
PART button
Hold down this button while pressing a NUMBER
button to specify a Keyboard part for Tone selection
and to call up the Part Select page (where the specified
part is already selected). The assignments are as fol-
lows:
Press and hold it for a second (all GROUP/BANK/
STYLE/TONE/USER PROGRAM indicators except
the NUMBER button of the currently selected part go
off). Then release it to select the PART SELECT page.
Z
GROUP, BANK, NUMBER buttons
This section allows you to select the desired Music
Style, Tone, or User Program memory.
