arrangement
This button is used to switch the "Bass Inversion" function on or
off. While the button is dark, the rhythm bass part always plays the
fundamental of your notes or chords. Example: if you play a chord
consisting of the notes C, E and G (which is recognized as a C major
chord), the bass part plays a C.
If the [BASS INV] button lights, the rhythm bass part uses the lowest
notes of the chords you play.
Example: if you play a chord consisting of the notes E, G and C (still
a C major chord), the bass part plays an E. This function therefore
gives you more artistic licence.
