The BASICS
Manual Drums
In addition to the ep's 128 fabulous Tones, there is a Manual Drums mode in which a different percussion
sound is assigned to each key on the keyboard! In this mode, you can play along with the Arranger (which
we'll learn about in the next section), or play rhythms all by yourself (or with a friend or two).
To get into the Manual Drums mode ...
Find the [Split] button (on the right side of the panel) and press it three times so the
M. Drums indicator lights. Play the keyboard and try out those sounds!
To return to the Piano mode (and the Tone previously selected), simply press [Split]
once more.
* See page 35 for more on Manual Drums.
* See page 50 for a list of all the standard percussion and special effect sounds.
Digital Effects
To enhance all of those wonderful Tones you now know how to select (including the Manual Drum
sounds), the ep features two digital effects; Reverb and Chorus.
Reverb (or Reverberation) is an effect which creates the illusion of playing your ep in a nice concert hall!
This gives your music a more 'live' sound. (You'll probably want this effect on all the time.)
Chorus, on the other hand, creates the impression that several of the same instrument are playing together
in unison (exactly the same thing).
* We encourage you to experiment to find out which Tones benefit most from the Chorus effect.
E. Piano, Flute, A. Guitar and E. Guitar are good places to begin!
These effects are turned on and off with the [Effects] button.
Note that to turn Reverb on and off you'll have to hold the [Effects] button for a second or two.
Four different effects combinations are possible:
Reverb ON + Chorus OFF
(the default setting)
Reverb ON + Chorus ON
(press [Effects] quickly)
Reverb OFF 4 Chorus ON
(press and hold [Effects] for a second or two)
Reverb OFF + Chorus OFF
(press {Effects} quickly)
