10 • Arrange Mode and the chord recognition modes
The ARRANGE MODE button gains access to
several options associated to the Styles: the
"Auto" or "Fixed" Chord modes, the Style Chord
Recognition modes, Dynamic Arrange and
Autobacking.
About the Auto and Fixed Chord modes
Chord recognition can be set to remain fixed re-
gardless of the keyboard mode setting, or to
change automatically according to the change in
the keyboard mode.
•
"Auto Chord Mode", active by default, allows
changes of the chord recognition mode ac-
cording to the selected keyboard mode (Full
Keyboard, Upper&Lower or Multi). Given that
the keyboard mode is memorized in a Per-
formance, the chord recognition can change
along with the Performance.
•
"Fixed Chord Mode" allows you to set a
chord recognition mode which does change
with changes in the keyboard mode (and con-
sequently any Performance changes).
The option selected remains memorized af-
ter power down.
About the Chord Recognition modes
The Chord Recognition modes generate the au-
tomatic accompaniments of the Styles in various
different ways according to how many notes are
pressed and where on the keyboard (above or
below the split point). The programmed accom-
paniment patterns are always fully generated with
a fully recognised chord. Major, minor and sev-
enth chords each can generate completely dif-
ferent accompaniment patterns.
The chord recognition modes available are:
•
One finger - A single note played below the
Split Point is interpreted as the root of a ma-
jor chord.
A minor chord requires the root note and the
minor third (e.g. C and Eb). A seventh chord
requires the root and seventh (e.g. C with a
Bb either above or below C).
•
Fingered 1 - Needs at least three notes for
full chord recognition. With less than three
notes, the chord is not recognized - the notes
played are considered 'stray'.
•
Fingered 2 - At least three notes must be
played to obtain the fully programmed pat-
tern. If less than three notes are played, the
arranger recognizes the chord but triggers a
'partial' accompaniment.
•
Free 1 - A three note chord is recognized
anywhere along the keyboard, overriding the
Split Point. Less then three notes does not
affect the chord recognition mechanism.
Free 1 recognizes up to 4 chord notes.
•
Free 2 - As above. Up to 6 notes are recog-
nized.
The option selected can be stored to the Per-
formances.
About Dynamic Arrange
When Dynamic Arrange is active, the volume of
the Style Auto accompaniments can be control-
led according to the velocity applied to the chord
notes. Increased chord note velocity increases
the volume of the accompaniments.
When Off, the accompaniment volumes remain
unchanged with changes in chord note velocity.
About Autobacking
When Autobacking is on, a quick change of chord
updates the Style auto accompaniment pattern
instantly without "breaks" in the pattern.
When off, a change of chord does not update
instantly but waits for the next note of the ac-
companiment before revising the pattern.
