BEYOND nme BASICS
Now it's time to see what this baby can really do! With an understanding of the basics, we can move on
to those sophisticated features we mentioned back at the beginning.
In this section we'll look at the Arranger (among other things) and all its related functions. First, however,
you have to know what we're taking about!
"What is the Arranger, anyway?"
The Arranger is that part of the ep which creales the automatic accompaniment — the Intro, drum part,
bass patterns, chord/ensemble backing and Ending — appropriate to the selected Music Style and chords
you play. (If you went for the "Quick Start" way back on page 4, you've already heard the Arranger in
action.) The Arranger is really the reason the ep is called an Intelligent Piano.
* The ep is in the Arranger mode when the Arranger indicator (of the [Split] button) is lit.
"Well then, what are Music Styles?"
When you ask someone what kind of music they like, you're really asking what style of music they prefer.
If the answer is, "I like rock music," for example, this brings certain things to mind. We think of drums,
electric bass, electric guitars and keyboards, a particular rhythmic 'feel' and so on. (You can find all these
elements in the ep's "Rock 1" Music Style, by the way.)
When you select one of the 63 other Music Styles in memory, all of the necessary elements are instantly
loaded into the Arranger. All you do is add the chord changes (with one or two fingers if you like) and the
solo part — the ep does the rest!
