Player is E!'s other auto-accompaniment mode where
you can play arpeggios, ostinato patterns, and complex
туйт by pressing 1 key!
There are 10 PlayerSongs, which can be thought of as
different musical "styles" (like Funk, Ballad, or Now Age.)
Each PlayerSong is made up of several 16 Track Patterns,
providing alternative versions of the same "style."
PlayerSongs cannot be combined within 2 Performance,
but their Patterns can be combined for almost unlimited
variation, making Player an extremely versatile tool in
Just about every performance/recording situation.
By using the Tonal Processor you can pre program chord
progressions and Pattern breaks - you can even use the
Track Assign menu to selectively turn any of the 16
Tracks on or of.
See the E! Supplemental booklet for a descrip-
tion of each PlayerSong and a transcription of
every Patten.
