Let's Try Playing a Style—The One Touch Program [Arranger] Button
The KR-770 comes with an "Arranger" function which makes it possible for you to enjoy playing
ensemble performances of various musical genres—all by yourself!
From prepared Music Styles in each musical genre, this Arranger function automatically creates and
plays accompaniment to match the chords being played. This kind of performance using the
Arranger function is called "Style Play."
A Simple Explanation of How to Use Style Play
Before actually trying to use Style Play, let's first take a look at the sequence of procedures involved.
1. Press the One Touch Program [Arranger] Button.
The keyboard is now split at F#3 into accompaniment in the Lower (left hand) keys and the Upper
(right hand) keys.
2. Select a Style.
3. Play a chord in the Lower keys, and the accompaniment will start.
An intro plays at the beginning of the piece, so the melody begins to play in the Upper keys after
the intro is completed.
Adjust the pace of the accompaniment with the Tempo button.
The following features allow you to make simple chord settings:
¢ You can set chords with one finger (see "Easy Fingering For Chords" (p.38))
* It is not necessary to hold down one chord until the next one is played. After playing one chord,
you can then go ahead and lift your hands from the keyboard, allowing you to get ready to play the
next chord.
4, When the performance is over, press the [Intro/Ending] Button.
What do you think? Do you see how that goes together?
Now let's try actually Style Play at the next step.
