Jam Track

The STYLES feature the Jam Track, an automatic function which allows you to
improvise a melody in real time, while the GK330 plays an accompaniment riff (a
cyclic change of chords).
At any time while you are playing with a Style, simply press the [JAM TRACK]
button (LED on) and release the notes on the left hand. While the automatic accom-
paniment starts to play a cyclic sequence of chord changes, simply play your impro-
vised melody on the right hand.
To deactivate the function, press the [JAM TRACK] button again (LED off).

Changing the Style Tempo

Every time you select a Style, you also recall a memorized playing speed, (TEMPO),
shown in the top left hand corner of the display. You can speed up or slow down the
tempo, before or after starting the Style, by pressing the [TEMPO /+] button.
Press the [TEMPO+] button to increase the Tempo value, or the [TEMPO–] but-
ton to decrease the value.
Holding down either [+] or [–] end of the button changes the Tempo value at high
speed continually until released.

Restoring the memorized Tempo

To restore the Style's memorized Tempo, press both ends of the [TEMPO–/+] button
at the same time.

About the Chord Recognition Modes

The GK330 allows you to choose between two different Chord recognition modes:
FINGERED and ONE FINGER. The chords that you play (Fingered or One Finger
type) must be played on the lower part of the keyboard dedicated to the Auto Bass
Chords (from note C2 up to and including note F#3).
FINGERED mode requires that you press at least 3 notes for a chord to be
recognized.
ONE FINGER mode requires that you press only one note for a Major chord to
be recognized. Other chords require more notes.
1. If a Chord recognition mode isn't selected, press the [MODE] button as many
times as necessary until the left display arrowhead point to either FINGERED or
ONE FINGER.
2. Press the [START/STOP] button to start the current Style.
3. If you select FINGERED, play a chord of at least 3 notes on the Auto Bass Chord
section of the keyboard to trigger the auto-accompaniments.
If you select ONE FINGER, play one note on the Auto Bass Chord section of the
keyboard to trigger the Major chord of the auto-accompaniments Other chords
using the "One finger" method involves the use of two or three fingers.
In the Appendix you'll find useful reference charts for Fingered and One Finger
chords:
FINGERED (Appendix A);
ONE FINGER (Appendix B).
Note: If you change Style while the rhythms are play-
ing, the current Tempo rests unchanged. The memo-
rized Style Tempo is recalled only when the Style is
not playing.
