The
DK-40C
is equipped
with
a "Fun
Block"
section
of
five buttons
which
can
be used
in conjunction
with the
Auto
Rhythm
section
(see p. 9).
It enables you to play
a variety of alternating bass chord rhythms, with the pedal
and
chords
automatically
matching
the
melody
notes,
simply
by holding down
either a single lower manual
key
or a lower
manual
chord, according
to which
fun block
button you press.
From your very first keyboard attempt,
the fun block feature will let you sound like a pro, making
full rhythmic use of the lower manual
and pedals.
Here is
how it works.
Note:
When the Auto Bass/Chord section is used, the tone color of
the lower manual voices will change from Horn 8' to Piano,
and from Cello 8', Cello 4' to Guitar.
Flute voices are not affected.
If it is set on it will sound con-
tinuously for any key held down.
Use it to soften the mood
of the Auto Bass Chord accompaniment.
SINGLE
FINGER
CHORD
(THE EASY PLAY WAY)
e Set the tone levers for the tones you want on the lower
manual both Piano and Guitar sounds are available); use
either or both
levers to adjust the Auto
Bass Chord
tone color and volume in the normal way.
e Match the setting of the Pedal tone lever to the lower
manual tones.
e Select a rhythm
pattern
and push the corresponding
button until it clicks and stays down.
e Set the Rhythm Start switch on.
e Adjust the rhythm tempo and volume.
e Press the Single Finger Chord button.
Now, if you press a C key on the lower manual, a C major
chord will play in an alternating pattern which matches the
rhythm pattern and tempo set.
As long as the key is held down,
the bass chord rhythm
continues.
When
the Black-key pedal is pressed, the chord
changed from major to minor, and when released, the chord
returns
to major.
When
the White-key
pedal
is pressed,
the chord changes from major to seventh, and when released,
the chord returns to major.
When
both Black- and White-
key pedals are pressed, a minor seventh results.
Note:
The bass note will play the root and fifth of any chord pressed,
except
when
the Jazz Rock
rhythm
is used; in that case the
bass sounds the root only.
