Techni-Chord - Technics SX-PR54/M Operating Instructions Manual

Part I

Techni-chord

TECHNI-CHORD turns your single note melodies into full chords and offers you a choice of different types
from a simple duet which adds one harmony note to your melody note, to big band reeds which adds four
harmony notes to your melody note. If TECHNI-CHORD is part of a ONE TOUCH PLAY or PIANO
STYLIST registration, a suitable TECHNI-CHORD type will be selected automatically.
Example:
Left hand (chord)
Right hand (melody)
1.
Split the keyboard into left and right sections.
2.
Press the TECHNI-CHORD button to turn it
on.
TECHNI-CHORD
3.
Play the keyboard.
• The melody you play with your right hand is automatically
played in chords which are based on the chords you play
with your left hand.
• This feature is very effective when used with the AUTO
PLAY CHORD.

2.

keyboard is not split.
ORCHESTRATOR
You can specify which part is used for the har-
mony tones. Your TECHNI-CHORD perfor-
mance is enhanced by selecting harmony
sounds different from the sounds you play and
the sounds produced by the automatic accompa-
niment.
1.
Use the ORCHESTRATOR
to select the part for the harmony notes.
• If CONDUCTOR is selected, the harmony notes are pro-
duced in the sounds of the part which is currently
selected in the CONDUCTOR (RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2). In
other words, the harmony notes are produced in the
same sound as the melody notes. If both RIGHT 1 and
RIGHT 2 are on, the harmony notes are produced in the
sound of the RIGHT 1 part.
• In the case of EASY RECORD (see page 58), when set
to a PART other than PART 4, the TECHNI-CHORD
sound is not recorded; so when you use EASY
RECORD, please set to CONDUCTOR or PART 4.
