Selecting Solo Voice; Solo Part - Roland AT800 Music Atelier Owner's Manual

Selecting Solo Voice

The Solo section of the Upper keyboard is monophonic, that is, the Solo voice
will only sound for the highest note played on the Upper keyboard. This allows
you to play full chords and have the selected Solo voice playing the highest
(solo) note.

Selecting and Playing Sounds
You can use the Solo part's
harmonic bar to adjust the
volume of the Solo part (p. 72).
By pressing the Solo [To Lower]
button, you can play the Solo
voice from the Lower keyboard.
For details refer to "Playing the
Solo Voice on the Lower
Keyboard (Solo [To Lower]
Button)" (p. 158).
It is possible to change how a
Solo voice will sound.
Normally, the Solo voice will
be sounded by the highest note
you play on the Upper
keyboard, but you can make
settings so that the last-played
note will sound the Solo voice.
For details, refer to "Changing
How the Solo Voice Responds"
(p. 159).
You can use the Solo [Others]
button to select richly
expressive sounds (articulation
voices) (p. 61).
