Play Mode

Here you may use the Arranger in piano mode, PIANIST (ON) in other words eliminating the split and extending the Upper section over the full keyboard (“Full Upper” mode). The chord will therefore not be played only on the Left section but over the full keyboard.

On this window you may set the Arranger with the manual Bass in the Lower BASSIST(ON) section.

The two modes, Bassist/Pianist, may only be used one at a time. These two modes will now be described in more detail:

PIANIST

- AUTO: In this mode, simply play 3 or more notes on the keyboard so that the chord is recognised and then play the melody with one, or at the most two notes, without changing the tone of the Arranger.

- STANDARD: In this mode you freeze the chord recognised with the Sustain Pedal so as to play on the keyboard without altering the tone of the Arranger.

- FREE VOICE: This tab ( when in OFF) allows " to force" Grand Piano Voice whenever the Tab Pianist is pressed. Otherwise (Mode ON) Voice previoulsy selected still remain even in mode PIANIST.

- SUSTAIN PEDAL: When this parameter is enabled (ON), the Sustain Pedal control on Pianist is enabled when this is inserted.

BASSIST

The Bassist function allows you to play the Manual Bass on the left section of the keyboard while controlling the Arranger and song line at the same time on the right section.

This function has 2 playing modes: EASY and EXPERT. To display the 2 Modes, simply press EDIT and insert PIANIST & BASSIST.

- EASY: This is the default mode of BASSIST. When you press BASSIST, the Manual Bass is automatically inserted on the left while chords are recognised by interpreting the note played by the Bass and the notes played with the right hand.   
Simply play a chord of at least 3 notes on the right section so that the instrument memorizes the new tone and plays the corresponding automatic accompaniment.
In this mode you may also play a song line of no more than 2 notes played together since 3 notes are automatically recognised as a new chord.

- EXPERT: Expert mode is very similar to Easy mode, with the difference that when a certain tone is recognised, if you press the SUSTAIN PEDAL this tone is memorised over and above the number of notes you play with the right hand.
Using Expert Mode takes a little practice before you can synchronise the pressure on the Sustain Pedal with the chord change, but it is well worth it since it allows you great freedom when playing the Song.
A new tone may be set whenever you release the Sustain Pedal.

- SUSTAIN PEDAL: As in Pianist Mode, even in Bassist mode the Sustain Pedal option allows you to enable/disable Sustain on the Song voices when you press the pedal.
