Main Features of the HT-6000
1. TONE EDITING & WRITING
Although the HT-6000 is a digital keyboard, its built-in sounds are created in a system which is very
similar in design to analog synthesizers, so that HT-6000 tones can be freely edited or even written
from scratch by altering various parameters which determine the characteristics of each individual
sound. This allows you to edit preset sounds to your liking, or make your own original sounds.
2. MIDI COMPATIBILITY
The HT-6000 i's MIDI-compatible, for connection with other MIDI synthesizers, sequencers and
memory devices.
I,
3. CHORD/OPERATION MEMORY
The HT-6000's CHORD/OPERATION MEMORY function allows you to create backing chord
patterns for two different songs, each containing up to 427 chords, as well as 197 different
"operations," including changes in Tone, Rhythm, modulation, auto-harmonizing, fill-ins and
endings, for auto-accompaniment of your original songs.
4. TOUCH RESPONSE
The HT-6000 features touch response, which gives you advanced control over keyboard dynamics.
You can even program unique effects to respond according to key touch.
5. PATTERN MEMORY
The PATTERN MEMORY function allows programming of up to ten 2-bar patterns and ten 1-bar fill-
ins, including bass, rhythm, and chords. Create your own accompaniment patterns and play along!
In addition, you can change the basic rhythm of your original patterns by selecting any of the Auto-
Rhythm tracks.
