Holding the LEFT part Voice (Left Hold) By turning on the PART ON/OFF [LEFT HOLD] button when the LEFT part is ON, the LEFT part Voice is held even when the keys are released. Non-decaying Voices such as strings are held continuously, while decay-type Voices such as piano decay more slowly (as if the sustain pedal has been pressed). This function is convenient when used along with Style playback since the sound of the chord matching Style playback is maintained. To stop the LEFT part Voice which is sounding, stop Style or Song playback, or turn the [LEFT HOLD] button off. 1 Using the Metronome You can start or stop the metronome by pressing the [METRONOME] button. The metronome tempo can be adjusted by the same procedure as with Style tempo (page 51). NOTE You can also change the time signature, volume and sound of the metronome: [FUNCTION] TAB [E] MENU 1 [J] UTILITY TAB [E] CONFIG 1 [A]/[B] 2 METRONOME Voice Characteristics The Voice characteristics are indicated above the Voice name - S.Art!, MegaVoice, Live!, Cool!, Sweet!, etc. Voices - Playing the keyboard - • S.Art! (Super Articulation) Voices The word "articulation" in music usually refers to the transition or continuity between notes. This is often reflected in specific performance techniques, such as staccato, legato and slur. You can call up helpful information on how to play these Voices by pressing the [6 ] (INFO) button on the Voice Selection display. • Drums/Live!Drums/SFX/Live!SFX Voices (called up via the [DRUM KIT] button) These let you play various drums and percussion instruments or SFX (sound effects) sounds on the keyboard, collected together in what are called Drum/SFX kits. For details, see the "Drum/SFX Kit List" of the Data List on the website. • Organ Flutes Voices (called up via the [ORGAN FLUTES] button) These let you recreate all of the classic organ sounds by adjusting the flute footage levels and the percussive sounds, just like on conventional organs. For details, refer to page 45. For information about other Voice types, refer to the Reference Manual on the website. NOTE • S.Art! Voices are only compatible with other models which have those types of Voices installed. Any Song or Style data you've created on the instrument using these Voices will not sound properly when played back on other instruments. • S.Art! Voices sound differently depending on the keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you turn on HARMONY/ARPEGGIO (page 42), change the transpose setting (page 38) or change the Voice Set parameters (page 47), unexpected or undesired sounds may result.
