Change a Song’s Style
In addition to each song’s default style, you can select any other style to
play the song with the Easy Song Arranger feature. This means that you
can play a song that is normally a ballad, for example, as a bossa nova,
as a hip-hop tune, etc. Since songs are combinations of a melody and a
style, you can create totally different arrangements by changing the
style with which a song is played. You can also change the song’s mel-
ody voice and the keyboard voice for a complete change of image.
Press the [EASY SONG ARRANGER] button.
The song number and name in the EASY SONG ARRANGER MAIN display
will be highlighted. You can now use the dial to select a different song.
