For those of you who'd rather play your new instrument than read about it ...
With the ep properly setup (see previous page) ...
Press the [Power] button (on the left side of the front panel).
Find and press the [One Touch Program] button (below and to the right of the
display).
Play any note within the bottom two octaves of the keyboard and amazing
things will happen!
The Arranger (auto-accompaniment) will kick in and play an Intro phrase based on the note
you played. After the Intro is finished, the rhythm will settle in. (This Music Style (A-1 BIG BAND)
is selected automatically each time the ep is turned on.) Adjust the volume with the [Volume]
slider.
Play a different note on the keyboard — again within the bottom two octaves —
and the accompaniment will change to reflect the new chord.
To make nice, smooth chord changes, try to play each new note just before — but not exactly
on — the first beat of the following bar. (Watch the Beat indicator in the display for help.) This
is entirely a matter of feel and will take some practice. Also, different Music Styles (with different
rhythmic feels) may require a different timing.
Once you get the idea, you can play a solo part over top of the accompaniment!
(Ah, yes .... the miracle of modern technology!) Play your solo anywhere within the top four
octaves of the keyboard. (A piano sound has already been selected as the solo instrument.)
When you're ready for the big finale, find and press the [Intro/Ending] button
(below and to the left of the display).
An automatic Ending phrase will complete your dazzling performance!
There ... doesn't that feel better?! Now, please proceed to the rest of this manual.
