“One Two Play” system that produces an automatic accomapniment and automatic
arpeggios complete with rhythm.

2. Organ Voices
Your Model KX330/KX430 electronic organ features a full range of organ voices
which allow you to freely and individually modify the sound produced by each
of the keyboards (upper, lower) and pedal.
1) Upper keyboard
Controlling the sound from the upper keyboard are four sections (UPPER
FLUTE, UPPER ORCHESTRA, PRESET INSTRUMENT, and SYNTHE-
S!ZER) which can be used separately or in combination.
UPPER FLUTE and UPPER ORCHESTRA
® The volume of the output from these two sections is controlled with the
TOTAL VOLUME slider.

and judge the effects for yourself.
Press the ORCHESTRA ENSEMBLE button.
Pressing this button changes the sounds produced by the UPPER ORCHES-
TRA section to an ensemble.
Try the SUSTAIN effect.
Relieving the pressure on a key usually cuts off the sound immediately, but
adding SUSTAIN provides a more natural lingering effect.
® In order of increasing length, there are three types of SUSTAIN possible:
I, I, and I + I. {This applies to the SUSTAIN controls in the LOWER
FLUTE, LOWER ORCHESTRA, PRESET INSTRUMENT, and PEDAL
sections as well.)

harpsichord, or other selected instrument comes through (hence the name
“solo). When used in conjunction with the TO LOWER button, it has the
same effect on the LOWER FLUTE and LOWER ORCHESTRA sections as
well,
TO LOWER: Activating this button transfers the PRESET INSTRUMENT
setting from the upper keyboard to the lower.
DECAY: Activating this button yields a crisper, sharper tone — but only for
certain instrument voices:

4. Rhythm
The automatic rhythm section (located to the left of the upper keyboard) offers
prerecorded rhythm patterns, HANDCLAP, DRUM FILL IN and a wide range
of other percussion effects. This section also contains a multi-function display
which indicates the current tempo and chord.

Hl Select a rhythm pattern.
Although there are only ten buttons in the automatic rhythm section, each
one does double-duty to yield a total of twenty possible rhythm patterns.
When the power is first applied, this section automatically selects the DISCO
rhythm, lighting the indicator in the DISCO/SOUL button and the arrow
above the VARIATION button. In this position, the ten buttons are assigned
the ten rhythm patterns listed above the row of buttons. Pressing the VARI-
ATION button switches to the lower arrow and switches the buttons to the
second, lower fist.
Adjust the tempo
The number on the right in the multi-function display gives the tempo. When
the power is first applied, the tempo is set-at 120 quarter notes per minute.
@ The quarter note on the display flashes with the first beat of each bar to
indicate the tempo to the organist.
When the automatic rhythm is OFF, it flashes with each beat; with the
rhythm ON, with only the first beat.
The two buttons with arrows located underneath the display are for adjusting
the tempo: the left one slows the tempo down, while the right one speeds it
up. Tapping once changes the tempo in steps of “1”; holding it down changes
the tempo in steps of “10. The tempo freezes when the pressure on the arrow
buttons is released.
Tapping a
button
NOTE: Pressing both buttons simultaneously doubles the current tempo.
In this case, the number on the display does not change; three dots appear to
the right of the digits. Pressing both keys once again removes the dots and
returns the rhythm section to the original tempo.
@ This doubling effect can be used anywhere in the range between 30 and
175 — Tempos above 175 will all yield a tempo of 350.
® The tempo can changed at any time — even in the middle of a performance.

Start the automatic rhythm.
After being activated with the RHYTHM button (located at the right end
of the ELECTRO CHORD BASS section), the automatic rhythm can be
started in either of two ways:
(1) by playing a note on the lower or pedal keyboards
(2) by activating one of the FILL IN buttons (either the INTRO & DRUM
FILL IN in the rhythm section or the RANDOM FILL IN switch to the
right of the expression pedal)
® The INTRO & DRUM FILL IN button provides a two-bar introduction
before starting the rhythm.
@® The RANDOM FILL IN introduction is one bar long.

9. Storing Chords and Melody
The PROGRAM SEQUENCER section on your KAWAI electronic organ allows you
to store complete sequences of melody, chords and automatic section played on
the lower keyboards and pedal.
Let us start by storing the chord sequence for ‘The House of the Rising Sun”
