Techni-Chord - Technics SX-KN2400 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 MUSIC
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.

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.
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 produced in the sounds of the part
which is currently selected in the CONDUC-
TOR (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.
