Now play the micro keyboard. You should hear the voice
that is currently assigned to sequencer track 1.
In the SONG mode, the micro keyboard plays the voice
assigned to the currently selected track (unless you’re
recording the chord track, in which case it is used to
specify chords).
!3 Octave Keys
Since the 2-octave range of the micro-keyboard is not
enough for serious music programming, the [OCT DOWN] and
[OCT UP] keys allow the pitch of the keyboard to be shifted up or
down in octave steps, over a range of 8 octaves. Each time the
[OCT DOWN] key is pressed the pitch of the keyboard is shifted
down by one octave, until the lower limit is reached. The [OCT
UP] key shifts the pitch of the keyboard up in the same way. The
number of octaves the pitch of the micro-keyboard has been
shifted down or up is shown by the octave indicator in the upper
left corner of the display — the number of arrows indicates the
number of octaves shifted in the corresponding direction.
Pressing the [OCT DOWN] and [OCT UP] keys simulta-
neously shifts the pitch to ±0.
When recording the accompaniment chord tracks in the
step mode, the [OCT DOWN] key is used to specify the bass
note for chords, while the [OCT UP] key is used to enter synco-
pated chords.
While playing a note on the micro-keyboard, the [OCT
DOWN] key will shift the pitch of the note up while held, and the
[OCT UP] key will apply modulation while held.
