where

there

is

excessive

moisture

or

dust.

@

Do

not

disassemble

or

attempt

to

modify

the

F52000.

@

Should

the

FS2000

become

soiled,

clean

it

using

a

soft,

dry

cloth.

If

this

does

not

remove

the

stain,

wet

the

cloth

slightly

before

wiping.

Never

use

alcohol

or

for

a

long

time.

@

Take

care

to

run

power

To

in

succession.

For

example,

to

enter

sound

number

25,

quickly

by

if

you

wait

more

than

one

second

to

Referring

again

to

the

"25"

example,

if

you

wait

too

long

to

enter

the

second

digit

"5",

the

SuperLab

will

think

you

meant

to

enter

a

"2"

and

then

changed

your

mind

to

enter

"5".

The

will

end

showing

"5"

instead

of

"25".

several

effects

which

can

add

realism

or

excitement

to

your

selected

sounds.

A

Few

Points

To

Remember

About

Selecting

Tones

@

When

you

choose

the

DUAL

effect,

the

STEREO

CHORUS

effect,

or

the

DUET

effect,

the

number

of

notes

that

can

be

heard

at

the

same

time

(polyphony)

will

be

reduced.

@

When

using

the

Dual

and

Stereo

Chorus

together,

the

Stereo

Chorus

effect

is

applied

only

to

the

tone

selected

as

SOUND

1.

PITCH

BEND

Wheel:

Pitch

bend

is

an

effect

by

which

the

pitch

of

a

sound

is

bent

smoothly

up

or

down.

It

is

useful

for

copying

the

sound

of

a

guitar

being

played

with

a

“Choking”

technique.

Try

rotating

the

Pitch

Bend

Wheel

while

holding

down

one

of

keys

on

the

keyboard.

The

pitch

of

the

sound

will

bend

smoothly.

MODULATION

Wheel:

The

Modulation

Wheel

is

used

to

add

vibrato

to

a

sound.

When

you

do

not

want

to

use

vibrato,

rotate

the

Modulation

Wheel

downward

(toward

you)

as

far

as

possible.

This

minimizes

the

vibrato

effect.

Turn

the

wheel

upward

(away

from

you)

to

increase

vibrato

depth.

STEREO

CHORUS:

stereo

cnonus

Pressing

the

STEREO

CHORUS

button

adds

a

deep

stereo

ne

9

richness

to

the

currently

selected

sound.

Pressing

the

fy

button

a

second

time

cancels

the

effect.

SUSTAIN:

a

Pressing

the

SUSTAIN

button

lengthens

the

duration

of

7a

notes

played

on

the

keyboard.

Pressing

the

button

a

(hy

second

time

cancels

the

effect.

DUET:

The

FS2000

will

add

a

harmonizing

note

to

each

melody

foie

note

that

is

played

on

the

keyboard

when

the

DUET

by

button

is

pressed.

This

lets

you

play

a

duet

performance

while

playing

only

one

melody

note.

It

is

extremely

effective

when

used

together

with

the

Auto-Accompaniment

function.

Pressing

the

button

a

second

time

cancels

the

DUET

effect.

REVERB:

Reverb

can

be

easily

applied

in

the

SuperLab.

Reverb

is

different

from

the

other

Superlab

effects

in

that

all

it

just

the

Using

Rhythm

Functions

There

are

four

kinds

of

rhythm

patterns

that

can

enhance

your

SuperLab

performances:

@

BASIC

Pattern

This

is

for

the

main

part

of

the

song.

All

the

rhythms

you've

heard

up

to

now

were

this

basic

pattern.

@

INTRO

Pattern

This

is

used

to

begin

a

song.

An

INTRO

pattern

will

give

your

songs

a

good,

solid

kick

off.

@

ENDING

Pattern

This

is

used

to

end

a

song.

When

you

use

an

ENDING

pattern,

you'll

get

a

nice

smooth

tag

to

wrap

up

the

song.

@

FILL-IN

Pattern

This

pattern

will

be

used

anytime

during

the

song

you

want

to

add

extra

emphasis

and

accents.

Using

Auto-Accompaniment

Section:

AUTO-PLAY

The

FS2000's

Auto-Accompaniment

section

is

one

of

the

most

powerful

found

on

any

portable

keyboard.

It

will

work

in

four

different

modes.

Each

mode

is

designed

to

fit

people

at

different

levels

of

musical

ability

—

from

beginners

to

experienced

profession-

als.

The

following

outlines

the

four

modes

of

the

FS2000

Auto-Accompaniment.

A

more

detailed

explanation

for

each

is

on

the

@

AUTO

1:

(NORM)

Lets

you

play

single-finger

or

fingered

chords

with

your

left

hand

while

playing

the

melody

with

your

right.

Your

left

hand

chords

trigger

the

Auto-Accompaniment.

@

AUTO

2:

(PRO1)

Lets

you

play

the

bass

with

your

left

hand

while

playing

chords

and

melody

with

your

right.

Preset

Auto-

Accompaniment

chords

will

play

—

but

are

triggered

by

the

chords

you

play

in

your

right

hand.

@

AUTO

3:

(PRO2)

AUTO

3

lets

you

play

chords

with

your

right

hand

and

bass

notes

with

your

left

just

as

in

AUTO2.

However,

in

AUTO

3

the

actual

notes

you

play

are

not

heard.

They

simply

“trigger”

the

auto

accompaniment

chords.

The

advantage

to

AUTO

3

is

that

it

allows

the

SuperLab

to

follow

any

chord

you

play,

even

chords

that

are

not

recognized

by

AUTO

2.

@

AUTO

4:

(EASY)

The

mode

to

use

when

you're

not

sure

what

chords

to

play.

AUTO

4

has

a

preset

chord

sequence

for

each

rhythm

(the

same

sequence

used

with

ONE

FINGER

AD-

LIB).

You

can

play

through

the

entire

chord

sequence

by

playing

successive

notes

(in

order

starting

with

C1)

in

the

Lower

keyboard

with

your

left

hand.

B-15

Explanation

of

AUTO

1

(NORM)

Your

FS2000

is

automatically

set

for

AUTO

1

operation

when

it is

turned

on.

In

AUTO

1

mode

you

play

chords

with

your

left

hand

(which

will

generate

full

accompaniment)

while

playing

the

melody

with

your

right

hand.

Even

a

simple

songs

can

use

lots

of

chords.

There

can

be

up

to

16

different

chords

using

the

same

root

note

in

the

FS2000.

So

if

the

root

is

C

for

example,

you

could

have

16

different

chords

based

on

it,

like

C

minor,

C7,

C13,

etc.

Look

over

the

chord

forms

on

the

By

playing

the

melody

with

the

right

hand

and

these

chord

forms

with

the

left,

you'll

be

able

to

play

quite

a

number

of

songs

in

a

variety

of

styles.

The

FS2000

has

100

different

kinds

of

Accompaniments

that

you

can

play

along

with

-

you're

sure

to

find

something

appropriate

for

just

about

any

musical

genre.

Let's

say

you

want

to

play

a

song

with

a

bossa

nova

beat.

Select

61

BOSSA

NOVA

from

the

100

RHYTHM

LIBRARY

and

play

along.

Even

if

you

don't

know

what

kind

of

style

it

is,

quickly

listening

to

the

tune

will

give

you

an

understanding

of

what

to

play.

There's

bound

to

be

something

with

a

"feel"

that's

close

to

what

you're

looking

for.

After

you've

found

an

Accompaniment

you

like,

pick

a

tone

you'd

like

to

use

for

the

melody.

You

can

even

add

a

Duet

or

Stereo

Chorus

effect.
