Arrange On/Off; Style Lock - GEM GPS3600 Owner's Manual

ARRANGE ON/OFF

When you turn the instrument on for the first time,
or every time you press the GRAND PIANO PRE-
SET or one of the other four single presets, E.
GRAND, E. PIANO 1, E. PIANO 2, VIBES, the
panel will default to the power up situation with
several buttons on, among them the ARRANGE
ON/OFF button (LED on).
This button enables the auto-accompaniments of
the Style. In fact, if you press the START/STOP
button and play a chord on the lower part of the
keyboard, an auto-Style accompaniment pattern
will start to play.
If the ARRANGE ON/OFF button is off, (LED off),
only the drum pattern of the Style will play when
you press START/STOP. This is useful to play
your Global Presets live with drum accompani-
ment.
Since the Global Presets can memorize any panel
situation, they can be programmed to recall a
Style comprising the sounds for the automatic ac-
companiments, a Variation and, if Tempo Lock is
off, a Tempo setting. In fact, the Global Presets
are an alternative way of recalling user-pro-
grammed Style Presets, as you will discover fur-
ther ahead.

STYLE LOCK

Thanks to the STYLE LOCK function, you can
decide to select Global Presets and change Style
every time, or simply recall keyboard sounds with-
out changing the Style accompaniment.
When STYLE LOCK is on, (LED on), selecting
Global Presets recalls keyboard sounds only.
When STYLE LOCK is off, (LED off), selecting
Global Presets recalls sounds for the keyboard
as well as a Style.
In Real Time mode, when the ARRANGE ON/
OFF button is off (LED off), changing Presets with
STYLE LOCK on would be useful to play live with
the Drum Track of the memorized Style. Simply
press START/STOP to start the Drum pattern.
When you select other Global Presets, you could
change the real time keyboard sounds without
changing the Drum pattern.
With STYLE LOCK off, you could select Global
Presets and recall the Drum track of a different
Style every time.
