LOWER + BASS -
o Touch once to turn on (yellow). When on, this functions only when the style is not running
(STOP) and allows you to play the manual Bass for the chord you are playing, together with
the two Lower voices. This is very useful when the musician wishes to play a solo
introduction before starting the automatic accompaniment. Once the Style starts however the
Bass will be controlled automatically by the Style according to the chords played.
o Touch once more to display "Bass Hold Lower". In this mode, when a chord is played (with
the style off), the bass note is sustained before fading out.
o Touch again to turn off.

VOICE LOCK:
which Registration (Setting) or Style you select, the LOWER voices will always remain the same
•
PIANIST & BASSIST
o Here you may use the Arranger in piano mode, PIANIST (ON) ... in other words eliminating
the split and extending the Upper section over the full keyboard ("Full Upper" mode). The
chord will therefore be recognized on the Left section but also over the full keyboard, and
whatever voice you select will be used through the entire keyboard.
o Also in this window, you may set the Arranger to where you can play bass with your left hand
simply by touching BASSIST on the screen - BASSIST(ON).
o
The two modes, Bassist/Pianist, may only be used one at a time. They will now be described
in more detail:
PIANIST
o Auto: In this mode, simply play 3 or more notes on the keyboard so that the chord is
recognized and once this happens, you can then play the melody with one, or at the most two
notes, without changing the chords of the Arranger.
o Standard: In this mode you freeze the chord recognized with the Sustain Pedal so as to play
on the keyboard without altering the tone of the Arranger. This is the typical way a piano
player plays anyway – pressing the sustain pedal when the notes being placed are in the
current chord just played.
o Sustain Pedal: When this parameter is enabled (ON), the Sustain Pedal control on Pianist is
enabled once plugged into the SD9 PRO.
BASSIST
o The Bassist function allows you to play the Manual Bass on the left section of the keyboard
while controlling the Arranger and song line at the same time on the right section.
o This function has 2 playing modes: EASY and EXPERT.
