Arranger Setting

This page is dedicated to the Arranger settings. Any modification in this mode may be saved in a User Style or in a Registration (various settings which include the modified Style as well as any other settings made on the instrument and which may be retrieved by pressing the relevant key on the panel), by pressing SAVE on the right hand side of the Front Panel. The User Style is a copy of the original Style with the settings modified by the user. It may be saved with the name of the original Style or may be saved with another name selected by the user by selecting SAVE AS on the save screen. Even if you decide to use the same name, the file will be saved in the User Styles section so that the original file supplied by KETRON is not deleted.

Pressing the icon Voice & Vari you can access the following menu:

The 4 tones assigned to the Lead (Upper) section are displayed at the top of the screen. By default when you load the Style the sound on the keyboard is the first of the 4, but it is possible to quickly change this by selecting the other 3 icons of the top row. Each Style has already been saved by KETRON with these 4 sounds for quick loading into the Lead section, but you may save the Style with 4 different sounds with respect to those saved by KETRON.

To do this, press the icon for a few seconds of the selected sound to enter the menu VOICE FAMILY

The 4 tones shown under the 4 are the sounds of the 3 Variations that correspond toCHORDS 3,4,5,.Live Guitar, showing the icon of the instrument used for each. The tone assigned to these tracks cannot be modified on this screen, but they may however be muted or enabled with just a touch of your finger (highlighted in red). All the sounds assigned to the tracks of the Style and to the left hand may be modified by selecting VIEW.

- VOICE TO ABCD: This function assigns each of the 4 sounds shown at the top of the Upper section (or Lead) of the keyboard according to the 4 arrangements selected, namely it assigns one of the 4 sounds to the right hand when you select arrangement A, another when you select arrangement B, a third when you select arrangement C and the remaining when you select arrangement D. You may select each of the 4 sounds and decide the correlation between these 4 sounds and the arrangement. If the key Voice to ABCD has not been selected, the change of arrangement does not change the sound so that the sound assigned to the right hand will remain unchanged, until you decide to change it manually, by touching one of the 4 tones shown on the display.
