7 SD CARD
This button recalls the Card edit environment, where
you can execute various operations on files and cards
(Load, Save, Format, etc...). This edit environment
overlaps any operating mode, that still remains active
in the background. Press EXIT to go back to the under-
lying operating mode.
8 MEMORY (TIE)
This button turns the Lower and Chord Memory func-
tions on or off. Go to the "Page 24 - Preferences: con-
trols" edit page (Style Play mode, see page 51) to
decide if this button should be a Chord Memory only,
or a Lower/Chord Memory button. When it works as a
Lower/Chord Memory:
O N The sound to the left of the split point, and
the chord for the automatic accompani-
ment, are kept in memory even when you
raise your hand from the keyboard.
OFF The sound and chords are released as
soon as you raise your hand from the key-
board.
This button doubles as a TIE function for the Song
mode (see chapter 13).
9 BASS INV. (REST)
This button turns the Bass Inversion function on or off.
ON The lowest note of a chord played in
inverted form will always be detected as
the root note of the chord. Thus, you can
specify to the arranger composite chords
such as Am7/G or "F/C".
OFF The lowest note is scanned together with
the other chord notes, and is not always
considered as the root note.
This button doubles as a REST function for the Song
mode (see chapter 13).
10 MAN. BASS
This button turns the Manual Bass function on or off.
Note: When you press the MAN. BASS button, the Bass
track volume is automatically set to the maximum value. The
volume is automatically set back to the original value when
the MAN. BASS button is deactivated.
ON The automatic accompaniment stops play-
ing (apart for the Drum and Percussion
tracks), and you can manually play the
Bass track on the Lower part of the key-
board. You can start the automatic accom-
paniment again by pressing one of the
CHORD SCANNING buttons.
OFF The bass track is automatically played by
the Style.
11 SPLIT POINT (<)
Keep this button pressed to open the Split Point win-
dow. While this window is open, you can set the split
point simply by playing the split point note on the key-
board. Then, release the SPLIT POINT button.
To memorize the selected split point note, press the
GLOBAL button, then press WRITE to save the Global
into memory (see "The Write window" on page 126).
This button doubles as a PREVIOUS EVENT func-
tion for the Backing Sequence and Song modes (see
chapters 12 and 13).

Press this button to open the Groove Quantize window,
where you can select a realtime groove quantization to
be applied to the Song (only Sequencer 1). See "Groove
Quantize window" on page 71.
This button doubles as a NEXT EVENT function for
the Backing Sequence and Song modes (see chapters 12
and 13).

ON When you select a different Style or Per-
formance, the tempo doesn't change. You
can still change it using the DIAL or the

formance, the memorized tempo value is
automatically selected.
14 SINGLE TOUCH
This button turns the Single Touch function on or off.
ON When a different Style (or the same again)
is selected, a Single Touch Setting (STS1) is
automatically selected, meaning that the
Realtime tracks and effects will change,

same again), the Style tracks and effects
are changed, while the Realtime tracks are
not changed.

you can load new Styles from the memory card.

tained. Just keep the SHIFT button pressed, and then
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.
