and <PAGEP > to jump to another page if the
Music Style you need doesn't appear on the display.

The Arranger starts playing the introduction of the
Music Style you selected. Press the [START /STOP]
button.
Note: Whenever the Arranger is not playing, the left
half of the keyboard is reassigned to the Chord and Bass
parts. That allows you to play your own chord backing
and bass notes. You could use this for transitions, etc.
See "Chord Tone Setting" on page 44 for how to assign
a Tone to those parts.
Using Style disks (User Styles)
The KR-75 comes with a Style Disk that contains
additional Music Styles and with a Disk containing
16 Acoustic styles and 4 SMF Demo songs. These
Styles need to be loaded into the KR-75's internal
memory and will be erased when you switch off
your instrument.
Note: See "Internal Music Styles & Disk Styles" at
the end of this manual for a list of the Music Styles
on the supplied Style Disks.
Note: Loading Music Styles from disk means that
the Style in the KR-75's User Style memory will be
erased. Always save your own Styles to disk before
loading another one. See "Saving User Styles" on
page 38.
1. insert the Style Disk into the disk drive.

Note: When you switch off your KR-75, the Style you
loaded from disk is erased. You will have to load it again
next time you wish to use it.
Note: If you insert the Style disk into the drive before
switching on the KR-75, it will automatically load the
"Easy Listen" Style.
Note: Unlike internal Music Styles, Styles loaded from
disk contain no default Upper Tone setting.

Starting with a musical introduction
