A SCALE MEMORY buttons
These three buttons allow you to save and recall the tuning
settings carried out with the ORIENTAL SCALE buttons. When
the EXR-46 OR is shipped, these memories already contain
useful settings (that will be recalled whenever you initialize
your EXR-46 OR).
Note: The settings of the ORIENTAL SCALE buttons are also
saved to a User Program, so that you can use these three memo-
ries for more "general" settings.
B ORIENTAL SCALE buttons
These buttons allow you to change the tuning of each note
of the scale. By default, pressing one of these buttons will
lower the corresponding notes in all octaves by a quarter
tone (–50 cents). Other tunings can also be selected and
saved to one of the three scale memories (see above) or a
User Program.

notes down (left) or up (right). Press this lever towards the

the notes you are playing.
E PHONES 1/2 sockets
This is where you can connect two pairs of optional head-
phones (Roland RH-25, RH-50, RH-200, or RH-300). By

play on the keyboard).

ond calls up a FUNCTION parameter you can set for selecting
the harmony type.
K [USB] button
This button allows you to select the function of the USB port

settings to/from a computer) or (ii) USB/MIDI (whereby the
USB port has the same function as the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT
connectors). See pages 47 and 52 for details.
