press the lefmost button of the STYLE section. A mes‐
sage window will appear, showing the name of the
original bank. Release the SHIFT button to exit the win‐
dow.
There is a shortcut to see all pages of the selected
bank. To cycle all pages for a selected bank, press the
bank's button until you see the page that you're looking
for.
These buttons double as a numeric keypad on certain
pages (see "Selecting a Song composing its progressive
number" on page 70).
16 FADE IN/OUT
When the Style stoped, press this button to start it with
a volume fade‐in (the volume goes from zero to the
maximum).
When the Style is playing, press this button to stop it
with a volume fade‐out (the volume gradually
decreases).
You don't need to press START/STOP to start or stop
the Style.
17 VARIATION 1–4 (NOTE LENGTH) buttons
Each of these buttons will select one of the four varia‐
tions of the current Style. Each variation can vary in
patterns and sounds.
These buttons double as a NOTE LENGTH function
for the Song mode (see chapter 13).
18 FILL 1–2 (NOTE LENGTH) buttons
These two buttons trigger a fill‐in. Press them twice (LED
blinking) to let them play in loop, and select any other
Style element (Fill, Intro, Variation...) to exit the loop.
They also double as a NOTE LENGTH function for
the Song mode (see chapter 13).
19 COUNT IN / BREAK
While the Style is not running, press this button, then
press START/STOP. This combination triggers a one‐
bar initial count, then the Style starts playing.
While the Style is already in play, this button triggers a
break (an empty measure beginning with a kick + crash
shot). Press it twice to let it play in loop, and select any
other Style element (Fill, Intro, Variation...) to exit the
loop.
20 ENDING 1–2 (DOT, TRIPLET) buttons
While the Style is running, these two buttons trigger an
Ending, and stop the Style. Press one of them, and the
Style will stop running with an Ending. If pressed
while the Style is stopped, they act as an additional
couple of Intros.
Press them twice (LED blinking) to let them play in
loop, and select any other Style element (Fill, Intro,
Variation...) to exit the loop.
ENDING1 also doubles as a DOT function, and
ENDING2 doubles as a TRIPLET function, to be used
in Song mode (see chapter 13).
Note: Ending 1 plays a short sequence with different chords,
while Ending 2 plays on the last recognized chord.
21 INTRO 1–2 buttons
These two buttons set the arranger in Intro mode. After
pressing one of these buttons, start the Style, and it will
begin with the selected intro. The INTRO LED will
automatically go off at the end of the intro.
Press them twice (LED blinking) to let them play in a
loop, and select any other Style element (Fill, Intro,
Variation...) to exit the loop.
Note: Intro 1 plays a short sequence with different chords,
while Intro 2 plays on the last recognized chord.
22 START/STOP
Starts or stops the Style that's running.
You can reset all 'frozen' notes and controllers
on the microARRANGER and any instrument con‐
nected to its MIDI OUT, by using the "Panic" key com‐
bination. Just press SHIFT + START/STOP to stop all
notes and reset all controllers.
23 SYNCHRO START / STOP (DELETE)
This button turns the Synchro Start and Synchro Stop
functions on or off. Press it repeatedly to turn the func‐
tions on or off. The LEDs will cycle in this order:
 
START START+STOP
START LED ON
When this LED is lit‐up, just play a chord
in the chord recognition area (usually
under the split point, see "CHORD
SCANNING section" on page 17) to auto‐
matically start the Style running. If you
like, you can turn one of the INTROs on
before starting the Style.
