Setting Up Special Features Creating New Sounds Page 21 By adjusting just two knobs you can add varying degrees of distortion, "sweetness," or other characteristics to a sound to change it subtly or drastically. Parameters that can be assigned to the knobs include effect, filter, envelope generator and more. You can create new sounds in real time! Arpeggio Function Page 20 Similar to the arpeggio functions provided on some synthesizers, this function automatically produces arpeggios (broken chords) when you simply play the appropriate notes on the keyboard. A variety of arpeggios can be produced by changing your fingering or the arpeggio type. Play a Variety of Instrument Voices Page 16 The instrument voice that sounds when you play the keyboard can be changed to violin, flute, harp, or any of an extensive range of voices. You can change the mood of a song written for piano, for example, by using violin to play it instead. Experience a whole new world of musical variety. Play Along with Styles Page 22 Want to play with full accompaniment? Try the auto-accompaniment Styles. The accompaniment styles provide the equivalent of a full backing band covering a wide variety of styles from waltzes to 8-beat to euro-trance ... and much more. Select a style that matches the music you want to play, or experiment with new styles to expand your musical horizons. Try playing like a DJ by using the Patterns! Page 23 The Pattern function lets you perform like a DJ. The Track Control lets you enjoy various instrument combinations, and the Knobs let you control the tempo and create various sounds. The appropriate panel settings for each Pattern are pre-programmed to Registration Memory. Refer to page 34. EuTrance 044 PSR-E433 Owner's Manual 5
