@ Music Programming Function, Allowing You to Program Tunes According to the Musical
Score.
A three channel programming system for melody, countermelody and chords. Tunes can be
programmed easily by just entering pitch and duration of notes as well as chords according
to the musical score.
Durations of notes and rests, or symbols for repetitions such as 7 or I? can be input at
the touch of a finger. Since tone color (sound), rhythm, fill-in, arpeggio etc. can be entered as
well, even the most difficult pieces of music can be programmed very easily. The programmed
tune can then be played back in various ways such as, Auto Play, One Key Play (playing
melodies or accompaniment using one finger) or Minus One Auto Play (ideal for practicing
improvisations and singing along). Furthermore, your best efforts can be converted to digital
signals and recorded on cassette tapes. With your own musical 'data bank' you can recall past
performances any time you wish.
rhythms can be selected at the touch of a key. By simply pushing the buttons with the chord
names, anyone can perform professional-level chord, bass and arpeggio accompaniment in step
with the rhythm.
