Before
Using
the
FS780
Ш
To
use
an
AC
power
outlet:
Connect
a
PS-102
(ог
PS-101)
adaptor
(available
separately)
to
the
adaptor
terminal
on
the
rear
panel
of
the
FS750.
Then,
connect
the
adaptor
to
a
wall
socket.
D
We
recommend
that
you
use
a
KAWAI
AC
adaptor
(10
volt
1000
mA)
with
the
FS750.
If
you
decide
to
use
a
universal
adaptor
(from
another
manufacturer)
be
sure
that
the
voltage
selector
on
that
adaptor
is
set
10
volt
1000
mA.
The
polarity
selector
must
be
set
to
"negative"
(—)
polari-
ty.
If
your
universal
adaptor
is
set
on
"positive
(*)",
your
FS750
will
not
operate
(or
will
run
on
batteries
until
the
batteries
are
drained),
E
Connecting
the
FS750
to
an
audio
device
To
enjoy
listening
to
the
sound
of
your
F$750
through
your
home
stereo
sys-
tem
or
other
external
audio
device,
purchase
a
standard
connecting
cord
(Stereo
RCA
pins)
at
an
electrical
goods
shop
or
an
audio
specialty
store.
Use
it
to
connect
the
FS750's
LINE
OUT
jacks
to
the
LINE
IN
or
AUX
IN
jacks
on
your
audio
system.
E
About
the
FS750's
internal
memory
The
contents
of
the
FS750's
internal
memory
such
as
song
data
will
be
kept
stored
by
a
battery
built
into
the
unit
for
a
period
of
up
to
five
years.
Note
that
if
you
turn
the
power
switch
ON
while
holding
down
keys
C
and
E
at
the
left
end
of
the
keyboard,
all
of
the
contents
of
the
memory
will
be
erased,
and
the
keyboard's
factory
settings
will
be
restored.
You
cannot
back
up
tbe
internal
memory
once
tbe
battery
built
into
tbe
FS750
is
drained.
So,
we
recommend
that
you
save
your
important
data
into
an
external
sequencer
(see
"Using
the
MIDI
Functions"
sec-
tion).
For
a
replacement
battery,
contact
your
authorized
KAWAI
deal-
er.
Ш
Protective
plastic
covering
on
front
panel
Your
FS750
comes
equipped
with
a
thin
plastic
covering
over
the
front
panel,
designed
to
protect
the
panel
from
dust
and
scratches.
If
you
want
to
remove
this
covering,
carefully
use
a
fingernail
to
lift
up
one
of
the
corners.
Then,
slowly
peel
off
the
covering
and
discard
it.
Basic
Operation
E
Trouble
shooting
on
your
FS750
Problem
Check
the
following
No
sound
from
your
FS750.
1)
Check
your
power
adaptor.
We
recommend
that
you
use
a
KAWAI
9-
or
12-volt
adaptor.
2)
If
using
another
brand
of
adaptor:
—
Does
the
voltage
range
from
9-12
volts?
—
Isit
set
to
negative
C
polarity?
—
Is
it
rated
above
1000
mA?
3)
Have
you
tried
six
fresh
batteries?
4)
Are
all
the
batteries
aligned
in
the
proper
direction?
You
notice
that
the
front
panel
has
a
"cloudy"
finish
or
has
begun
to
"bubble"
or
"peel".
This
is
not
a
defect.
There
is
a
thin
plastic
film
applied
to
the
glossy
panel
(where
the
sounds
and
rhythms
are
printed)
for
protection
during
ship-
ping.
You
can
remove
this
film
at
any
time.
Use
a
fingernail
to
carefully
lift
up
one
of
the
edges,
then
peel
off
the
protective
film.
You
are
using
the
numeric
Selector
buttons
to
select
a
two-digit
number,
but
a
single-digit
number
appears
in
the
display.
You
may
be
taking
too
long
to
enter
the
second
digit.
Once
you
enter
one
digit,
the
FS750
waits
for
four
seconds
to
see
if
a
second
digit
follows.
If
the
second
digit
is
not
entered
within
that
time,
the
FS750
assumes
that
you
meant
to
enter
a
single-
digit
number.
Be
sure
to
enter
all
two-digit
numbers
in
rapid
succession.
The
rhythm
will
not
start
when
you
press
the
yellow
Start/Stop
button.
The
DUAL
feature
does
not
combine
certain
sounds.
The
RECORDER
will
not
record.
Press
the
Tempo
Up
button
to
see
if
someone
has
inadvertent-
ly
activated
the
TEMPO
"SYNC."
mode.
The
display
will
read
"5$"
if
this
is
the
case.
The
Start/Stop
button
will
not
operate
in
TEMPO
"SYNC."
mode.
To
escape
SYNC
mode,
press
the
Tempo
Up
button
until
"UP"
appears
in
the
display.
Are
you
trying
to
combine
any
of
the
SPLIT
sounds?
These
can-
not
be
used
with
the
DUAL
feature,
since
they
already
contain
two
sounds.
The
recorder
will
not
record
when
there
is
already
a
song
in
memory.
Use
the
ERASE
procedure
(press
both
the
Rec/End
and
Play/Stop
buttons
simultaneously)
for
that
song
to
clear
a
particular
song.
Then
try
recording
again.
The
keyboard
only
plays
drum
sounds.
The
DRUM
SET
sound
(*90)
has
probably
been
selected.
Use
the
Sound
1
and
Selector
buttons
to
select
a
different
sound
(refer
to
the
section
of
the
manual
which
describes
"Getting

See
the
MIDI
section
of
this

Used
to
enter
the
number
that
appear
in
the
LED
dis-
play.
To
enter
a
number
from
1
to
9,
just
press
the
number
you
desire.
The
FS750
will
wait
for
4
seconds
to
see
if
you're
going
to
press
another
digit.
After
this
brief
pause,
the
display
will
show
the
number
you
selected
(01
to
09).
To
enter
a
number
from
1
to
9
without
the
4
seconds
pause,
put
a
"zero"
before
the
number.
For
example,
you
would
press
"0"
and
"6"
to
select
sound
number
"6"
immediately
(with
no
pause).
To
enter
a
two-digit
number,
enter
the
two
digits
in
rapid
succession.
For
example,
to
enter
sound
number
25,
press
2
followed
quickly
by
5.
If
you
wait
more
than
4
seconds
to
enter
the
second
digit,
the
FS750
will
think
you
meant
to
enter
a
one-digit
number.
Referring
again
to
the
"25"
example,
if
you
wait
too
long
to
enter
the
second
digit
"5",
the
FS750
will
think
you
meant
to
enter
a
"2"
and
then
changed
your
mind
to
enter
"5",
The
display
will
end
up
showing
"5"
instead
of
"25".

bit.
Well,
the

function
is
just
for
you!
This

AD-LIB?
ONE
FINGER
AD-LIB
is
a
feature
which
allows
anyone,
any
level
of
musical
ability,
to
sound

of
a
finger,
you
can
play
hun-
dreds
of
impressive

melodies
with
full

and
chord
progressions.
It's
great
fun!
The
ONE
FINGER

are
determined
by
rhythm
you
select.
For
example,
there
are
funky
ad-lib
phrases
for

number
07
(SLAP

and
some
exciting
rock'n
roll
phrases
that
go
well
with

(R&R1).
There
are
seventeen
preset
ONE

AD-LIB
phrases
for
each
of
the
FS750's

Some
of
you
might
be
happier
if
the
chord
progression
for
DANCE

were
in
a
minor
key.
To
do
this,
you
can
perform
an
operation
like
the
one
described
below
(again,
you
should
stop
the
rhythm
first):

Then
press
the
Start/Stop

Special
Use
of
ONE
FINGER
AD-LIB
We've
recorded
some
special
melodies
into
the
FS750
for
use
with
ONE
FINGER
AD-LIB.
Here's
how
to
play
them:
1.
First,
select
a
rhythm.
Let's
try
#92
(BOLERO).
2.
Next,
make
sure
that
the
ONE
FINGER
AD-LIB
function
is
turned
on
--
and
the
AUTO
function
is
on.
3.
Press
Start
button
to
get
the
rhythm
going.
You
may
want
to
set
the
"standard
tempo"
for
BOLERO
by
pressing
either
of
the
Tempo
buttons
at
this
time.
4.
Now,
hold
down
the
lowest
ONE
FINGER
AD-LIB
key
(G2).
Make
sure
that
your
initial
hit
of
the
G2
key
is
on
the
main
beat
Gif
you
listen
to
the
rhythm
for
awhile,
you'll
hear
this
main
beat).
Can
you
hear
the
first
melody
notes
of
BOLERO
playing
when
you
hold
down
G2?
5.
The
rest
of
the
melody
can
be
played
as
you
move
up
the
ONE
FINGER
AD-LIB
keys
in
chromatic
fashion
(G2,
G#2,
A2,
A22,
etc).
Each
successive
key
is
programmed
with
three
full
beats
of
the
BOLERO
melody.
6.
Now,
let's
try
putting
the
whole
melody
together.
Make
sure
the
BOLERO
rhythm
is
playing.
On
the
main
beat,
hold
down
the
G2
key
for
three
beats.
Then,
immediately
hold
down
the
G#2
key
for
the
next
three
beats;
then
the
A2
key
for
the
next
three
beats;
and
so
on,
until
the
entire
melody
is
played.
By
the
time
you
reach
the
end
of
the
ONE
FINGER
AD-LIB
region,
you
should
have
played
BOLERO!

First,
select
any
sound
you
like
using
the
numeric
keys.
As
an
example,
we
will
choose
sound
number
01
(PIANO
1).
Next,
press
the
Sound
2
button.
The
lamp
above
the
button
will
light
up.
Now,
select
another
sound.
[We
will
choose
number
02
(PIANO
2)
for
our
example.]
Now
press
both
the
Sound
1
button
and
the
Sound
2
button
simultane-
ously.
The
lamps
above
these
buttons
should
light
up
and
the
display
should
change
to
read
dù.
If
you
press
one
of
the
keys
on
the
keyboard,
you
will
hear
the
combina-
tion
of
sounds
01
and
02,
PIANO
1
and
PIANO
2.
—
What
does
п,
mean?
—
When
two
sounds
are
played
at
once,
varying
the
pitch
of
the
sounds
slightly
with
respect
to
each
other
makes
the
combined
sound
much
rich-
er.
This
varying
of
the
pitch
of
two
sounds
is
called
"Detuning."
The
FS750
allows
you
to
detune
two
sounds
when
combining
them
using
the
DUAL
effect.
The
"d"
in
the
display
therefore
stands
for
"Detune,"
and
the
"Q"
following
it
represents
the
difference
in
pitch
between
SOUND
1
and
SOUND
2.
1
Press
the
+1
button.
The
display
should
change
to
read
g
!.
Now,
when
you
press
a
key
on
the
keyboard,
you
will
hear
a
slightly
richer
sound.
You
can
use
the
numeric
keys
to
set
a
detune
value
of
0
to
7.
The
high-
er
the
number
is,
the
greater
the
difference
in
pitch
becomes.
When
our
PIANO
1/PIANO
2
combination
is
set
to
a
detune
value
of
7
(d
1),
the
result
is
a
"honkytonk"
sounding
piano.
Using
the
DUAL
effect
with
8
levels
of
detune,
you
have
up
to
32,400
different
DUAL
sound
variations
available.
Ф
Adding
Effects
Sustain
Chorus
Duet
The
FS750
has
a
variety
of
effects
which
can
add
realism
or
excitement
to
your
selected
sound.
a)
SUSTAIN:
Pressing
the
Sustain
button
lengthens
the
duration
of
notes
played
on
the
keyboard.
Pressing
the
button
a
second
time
cancels
the
effect.
b)
CHORUS:
Pressing
the
Chorus
button
adds
a
deep
stereo
richness
to
the
currently
selected
sound.
Pressing
the
button
a
second
time
cancels
the
effect.
c)
DUET:
When
the
Duet
button
is
pressed,
the
FS750
will
add
a
harmonizing
note
to
each
melody
note
that
is
played
on
the
keyboard,
so
you
can
enjoy
a
duet
performance
while
playing
only
one
melody
note
at
a
time.
This
function
is
extremely
effective
when
used
together
with
the
Auto-
Accompaniment
function.
Pressing
the
button
a
second
time
cancels
the
DUET
effect.
All
of
the
above
effects
can
be
applied
only
to
the
SOUND
1
or
SOUND
2,
not
to
tbe
Auto-Accompaniment
(RHYTHM,
BASS,
and
CHORD
parts).
When
you
choose
the
DUAL
effect
or
the
CHORUS
effect,
the
number
of
notes
tbat
can
be
beard
at
tbe
same
time
(polypbony)
will
be
reduced.
Tbe
DUAL
effect
is
cannot
be
activated
wben
one
of
the
SPLIT
sounds
(numbered
41
through
50)
is
chosen
as
SOUND
1
or
SOUND
2.
If
you
press
the
Duet
button
while
using
tbe
DUAL
sound
effect,
the
harmonizing
note
will
be
SOUND
1.
The
DUET
effect
cannot
be
activated
when
LOCAL
CONTROL
is
set
to
"OFF"
(Refer
to
page
A-14
for
details).
ll
Advanced
Use
of
Auto-Accompaniment
Section:
The
FS750's
Auto-Accompaniment
section
is
one
of
the
most
powerful
found
on
any
portable
keyboard.
It
has
the
capability
of
working
in
four
different
modes.
In
the
Basic
Operation
section,
we
discussed
only
the
first
mode,
AUTO
1,
which
is
the
standard operational
mode
for
most
portable
key-
boards.
In
this
Advanced
Operation
section,
we
will
introduce
the
remaining
three
modes:
AUTO
2,
AUTO
3,
and
AUTO
4.
Having
four
different
Auto-Accompaniment
modes
allows
the
FS750
to
be
enjoyed
by
people
at
all
levels
of
musical
ability
--
from
beginners
to
experi-
enced
professionals.
Let's
outline
the
four
modes
of
Auto-Accompaniment
offered
by
the
FS750:
a)
AUTO
1:
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.
For
a
review
of
AUTO
1
operation,
see
the
Basic
Operation
section.
b)
AUTO
2:
Lets
you
trigger
the
Auto-Accompaniments
using
traditional,
two-handed
piano-style
playing.
The
lowest
note
of
your
left
hand
(їп
the
Lower
Keyboard)
triggers
the
Auto-Accompaniment
bass
line.
The
notes
you
play
with
your
right
hand
trigger
the
Auto-Accompaniment
chords.
With
Auto
2,
you
will
hear
both
the
right
hand
chords
that
you
play
and
the
preset
Auto-Accompaniment
chords.
c)
AUTO
3:
This
mode
is
similar
to
Auto
2
in
that
your
lowest
left
hand
note
triggers
the
Auto-Accompaniment
bass
line
and
your
right
hand
chords
trigger
the
Auto-Accompaniment
chords.
The
difference
with
Auto
3
is
that
the
pre-
set
Auto-Accompaniment
chords
do
not
play.
This
allows
you
total
free-
dom
to
select
more
complex
chords
for
your
Auto-Accompaniment
(with-
out
clashing
with
any
preset
chords).
d)
AUTO
4:
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.
Let's
try
using
these
three
new
Auto-Accompaniment
modes,
beginning
with
AUTO
2.
D
ONE
FINGER
AD-LIB
is
not
operational
when
the
FS750
is
in
AUTO
2
or
AUTO
3.
Ф
Explanation
of
AUTO
2
AUTO
2
is
an
advanced
form
of
Auto-Accompaniment
which
lets
you
trigger
the
Auto-Accompaniment
bass
line
and
chords
by
playing
in
traditional
piano
style.
How
is
AUTO
2
different
from
AUTO
1?
In
AUTO
1,
the
Auto-
Accompaniment
chords
are
triggered
only
by
the
chords
you
play
with
your
left
hand.
In
AUTO
2,
your
right
hand
notes
trigger
the
chords
and
your
left
hand
triggers
the
bass
line
of
the
Auto-Accompaniment.
Sound
1
dh
Auto
J
Why
is
AUTO
2
valuable?
There
are
two
primary
reasons:
a)
Many
people
feel
more
comfortable
playing
chords
with
their
right
hand
rather
than
their
left.
AUTO
2
suits
that
playing
style
better
than
AUTO
1
does.
b)
With
certain
songs,
AUTO
2
allows
you
to
play
notes
directly
from
sheet
music
and
still
trigger
the
Auto-Accompaniment.
Some
songs
will
work
better
than
others
using
AUTO
2.
It
is
important
to
note
that
the
preset
Auto-Accompaniment
chords
continue
to
play
in
AUTO
2.
That
is,
you
will
hear
the
chords
you
play
with
your
right
hand
plus
the
chords
of
the
Auto-Accompaniment.
Remembering
this
will
help
you
to
see
the
difference
between
AUTO
2
and
the
other
Auto-
Accompaniment
modes.
Let's
see
how
AUTO
2
works:
1.
With
the
Rhythm
stopped,
press
the
Rhythm
button
and
Sound
1
button

Selector
button.
The
display
should
begin
to
flash
alternately
between
Ñu
and

This
shows
that
the
Auto-Accompaniment
is
currently
set
to
AUTO].
2.
Press

for
less
than
a
second
as
you
press
the
Auto
button.
4.
Select
a
rhythm
using
the
Rhythm
button
and
the

notes
you're
playing
and
the
chords
of
the
preset
accompaniment.
Most
of
the
time,
these
will
not
clash.
As
you
begin
to
play
more
advanced
chords,
you
may
find
that
the
preset
accompaniment
chords
cannot
follow
you.
Note:
Here's
some
playing
information
about
AUTO
2:
a)
The
Auto-Accompaniment
changes
when
you
press
four
or
more
keys
(total)
on
the
Lower
and
Upper
Keyboards.
See
page
Ap-1
for
a
chart
of
the
chords
that
FS750
can
recognize.
b)
When
you
press
only
one
key
on
the
Lower
Keyboard,
only
the
Auto-
Accompaniment
bass
part
will
change.
C)
If
you
press
more
than
one
key
on
the
Lower
Keyboard,
the
bass
part
will
respond
to
the
lowest
key
pressed.
e)
When
only
keys
on
the
Upper
Keyboard
are
pressed,
pressing
four
or
more
keys
will
cause
the
Auto-Accompaniment
to
change.
Pressing
less
than
4
keys
in
the
Upper
Keyboard
will
not
affect
the
Auto-
Accompaniment.
This
frees
you
to
play
melody
lines
without
changing
chords.
When
you're
ready
for
a
chord
change,
just
play
a
complete
chord
along
with
your
melody
line.
f)
When
AUTO
2
is
activated,
neither
ONE
FINGER
AD-LIB
nor
DUET
will
function.

The
key
aspect
of
AUTO
3
is
"freedom
in
choosing
chords."
Like
AUTO
2,
this
third
Auto-Accompaniment
mode
lets
you
trigger
the
Auto-Accompaniment
chords
with
your
right
hand
and
the
Auto-
Accompaniment
bass
line
with
the
lowest
note
of
your
left
hand.
AUTO
3
is
different
in
that
the
preset
Auto-Accompaniment
chords
do
not
play.
Rather,
the
chords
you
play
with
your
right
hand
actually
become
part
of
the
Auto-
Accompaniment.
Furthermore,
with
AUTO
2,
you
are
limited
to
only
the
chord
forms
that
the
FS750
can
recognize
as
part
of
the
Auto-Accompaniment
system.
If
you
play
a
chord
that
cannot
be
recognized
in
AUTO
2,
the
FS750
will
do
its
best
to
match
your
chord,
but
you
may
not
end
up
with
the
chord
you
wanted.
With
AUTO
3,
any
chord
form
you
play
can
be
recognized
and
become
part
of
the
Auto-Accompaniment.
You
have
total
freedom
in
choosing
chords.
AUTO
3
is
perfect
for
people
who
want
to
sing
a
melody
as
they
play
a
back-
ground
Auto-Accompaniment.
You
simply
play
block
chords
(or
rhythmic
chords)
with
both
hands
while
you
sing.
The
Auto-Accompaniment
will
fol-
low
the
chords
you
play
and
respond
with
full
Auto-Accompaniment.
Which
AUTO
Mode
should
I
use?
Use
AUTO
2
if
you
plan
to
use
standard
chords
that
can
be
recognized
by
the
FS750
(see
page
Ap-1
for
a
chart
of
the
chord
forms
that
can
be
recognized).
With
AUTO
2,
the
preset
Auto-Accompaniment
chords
will
provide
good
rhythmic
and
harmonic
support
for
the
standard
chords
you
play
with
your
right
hand.
Use
AUTO
3
when
you
plan
to
use
complex
chords
that
cannot
be
recog-
nized
by
the
FS750.
Your
complex
chords
will
become
part
of
the
Auto-
Accompaniment,
and
the
preset
Auto-Accompaniments
chords
(which
do
not
play
in
AUTO
3)
will
not
clash
with
chords
you
play
with
your
right
hand.
Let's
try
AUTO
3:
1.

the
Rhythm

AUTO
4
is
the
best
Auto-Accompaniment
mode
when
you're
not
sure
what
chords
to
play.
The
FS750
has
a
preset
chord
sequence
(the
same

for
each
of
the
100
Rhythms.
You

in
successive
order.
Here
are
the
steps:
1.
With
the
Rhythm
stopped,
press
the

button
more
than
once
before
you
actually
see
ол
appear
in
the
display.
It
will
flash
for
less
than
a
second
as
your
press
the
Auto
button.
4.
Select
Rhythm
number
03

the
chord
sequence
change
as
you
move
up

about
chords.
It
lets
you
concen-
trate
on
making
great
melodies
with
your

Introducing
Accompaniment
Hold
Accompaniment
Hold
is
an
exciting
new
feature
from
KAWAI
that
allows
you
to
control
the
rhythmic
placement
of
Accompaniment
Chords
while
you
play.
To
operate
Accompaniment
Hold,
you'll
need
to
purchase
a
foot
switch
(model
F-1,
sold
separately).

Whenever
you
depress
the
foot
switch
pedal,

down,
the
bass
and
chord
sounds
will
be
held
until
you
release

want
to
add
accents
to
an
accompaniment.
Try
Accompaniment
Hold
with
several
different
Auto-Accompaniments
to

Have
you
ever
wished
you
could
take
your
own
musical
ideas
and
put
together
a
dynamite
Auto-Accompaniment
pattern
of
your
own?
With
the
FS750,
you
can!
Using
the
programming
functions
of
the
FS750,
it
is
possible
for
you
to
create
Intro,
Fill-in,
Ending,
and
Basic
patterns
for
each
of
the
FS750's
Auto-
Accompaniment
parts:
rhythm,
bass,
and
chords.
You
can
build
these
pat-
terns
from
scratch,
or
you
can
alter
one
or
more
elements
(chord,
bass,
drums)
of
a
preset
pattern.
This
is
an
extremely
powerful
feature
that
offers
you
tremendous
creative
freedom!
As
an
example,
let's
try
making
a
few
changes
to
Rhythm
number
28
(POP
ROCK)
to
develop
a
new
pattern.
1.
Use
the
Selector
buttons
to
select
the
POP
ROCK
pattern
(number
28).
2.
Let's
begin
by
changing
the
Basic
pattern.
With
the
rhythm
turned
OFF,
press
the
Pattern
Maker
button.
The
dis-
play
will
change
to
read
b,
which
is
short
for
"Basic."
This
indicates
that
the
Basic
pattern
has
been
selected.
1.
First,
let'S
change
the
Rhythm
pattern
Find
the
User
Program
keys
at
the
right
end
of
the
keyboard
which
are
identified
by
PATTERN
MAKER
above
the
keys
(F#5
to
A5).
These
are
the
User
Program
keys
for
changing
accompaniments.
Press
the
G#5
key
(labelled
"Rhythm
Clear").
The
display
should
change
to
show
the
number
of
the
POP
ROCK
pattern
(that
is,
number
28).
The
basic
Rhythm
pattern
for
the
POP
ROCK
pattern
is
at
left:
Let's
try
adding
the
high
clap
sound
on
top
of
the
snare
drum.
Just
press
the
D#1
key,
which
controls
the
high
clap
sound,
in
time
with
the
snare
drum
(on
beats
2
and
4).
Feel
free
to
add
other
rhythm
sounds
as
you
like.
If
you
make
a
mistake
with
one
sound
for
example,
(high
clap),
use
the
Rhythm
Erase
key
(A5)
to
remove
the
mistake.
Hold
down
the
Rhythm
Erase
key
(A5)
while
you
press
the
"high
clap"
key
(D#1).
All
high
clap
sounds
will
be
instantly
erased.
Next,
let's
change
the
Bass
part
If
you're
finished
with
the
Rhythm
pattern,
let's
move
on
to
the
bass
pat-
tern.
Press
the
G5
key
(labelled
"BASS
CLEAR")
on
the
keyboard
twice
(see
note
at
bottom
of
page).
The
bass
pattern
should
disappear,
and
the
display
will
change
to
show
the
number
5&.
This
indicates
that
sound
number
58
(E.
BASS)
is
the
sound
being
used
for
the
bass
part
in
this
pat-
tern.
Let's
create
a
bass
part
like
the
one
given
at
left.
Use
the
keys
from
C1
to
B4
to
input
the
bass
part.
If
you
want
to
use
a
sound
other
than
E.
BASS
for
the
bass
part,
select
the
sound
you
prefer
using
the
numeric
keys
to
change
the
sound
number
shown
in
the
display.
Ha
n5
||
3.
Last,
let's
change
the
Chord
part
Press
the
F#5
key
(labelled
"CHORD
CLEAR").
The
number
29
should
appear
in
the
display.
This
indicates
that
sound
number
28
(FAT
BRASS
2)
is
being
used
for
the
Chord
part.
The
basic
Chord
part
for
the
POP
ROCK
pattern
is
as
shown
at
left.
Let's
try
adding
the
eighth
notes
shown
at
left
to
the
last
beat
of
the
second
measure.
Use
the
keys
from
C1
to
BÁ
to
input
the
Chord
part.
