phing setting, you won't even notice there is a second
Style waiting to supply the reguested accompaniment
part(s).
The link between "A" and "B" Styles is preset. This
allows the EM-50/30 to automate the selection process
and to prepare a suitable "B" Style. Feel free, however,
to assign another Music Style to "B" if you want to
explore new morphing combinations (see "Selecting
another "B" Style" on page 40).
Press STYLE MORPHING [B] to use one (or yet
another) accompaniment part from Style B.

Press STYLE MORPHING [A] to use one more part
from Style "A".
Note: When you select a new Music Style with the MUSIC
STYLE/USER PROGRAM buttons, the Style Morphing
function is reset to the "Style A only" status. The Style
Morphing setting can, however, be written to a User Pro-
gram.
As soon as you morph in one part from Style B
(stages 1~6), the
icon appears below the
icon in the upper right-hand corner of the
display. If you are only using Style B parts, only the
icon remains in the display.

Press the [BASS INVERSION] button (the Ru
icon appears) to change the way the Arranger reads
the chords you play.
If the icon is not displayed, the Accompaniment Bass
part plays the root of the chords that feed the
Arranger. If you play a C (or C chord), the bass thus
sounds a C; if you play an A minor chord (or if you
press A and the C to its right), the bass sounds and A,
etc.
Activating Bass Inversion gives you more artistic
license because you specify the note played by the
Accompaniment Bass part (the lowest note of your
chords). Switch on Bass Inversion for songs that rely
on bass rather than on chord patterns (for example C
— C/B — C/B,, etc.).
One Touch Program
You may find yourself using the One Touch function
at regular intervals because it automates guite a few
tasks:
* The Arranger selects the preset Style tempo.
* SYNC START is switched on.
* The EM-50/30 selects Tones for Upperl and Upper2
that are suitable for the selected Style (eight different
possibilities, according to the selected One Touch
memory).
There are 8 One Touch memories per Style with dif-
ferent settings for the above parameters. Here is how
to select one:
1. Press and hold the [GROUP/ONE TOUCH) button
until the number field in the upper left corner reads
"OT1". Example:

The number that appears after "OT" varies according
to the last One Touch memory you selected. When
you first activate the One Touch function after switch-
ing on the EM-50/30, "OT1" is selected.
