who'd

than

read

...

With

the

ep

properly

setup

(see

previous

page)

...

Press

the

[Power]

button

(on

the

left

side

of

the

front

panel).

Find

and

press

the

[One

Touch

Program]

button

(below

and

to

the

right

of

the

display).

Play

any

note

within

the

bottom

two

octaves

of

the

keyboard

and

amazing

things

will

happen!

The

Arranger

(auto-accompaniment)

will

kick

in

and

play

an

Intro

phrase

based

on

the

note

you

played.

After

the

Intro

is

finished,

the

rhythm

will

settle

in.

(This

Music

Style

(A-1

BIG

BAND)

is

selected

automatically

each

time

the

ep

is

turned

on.)

Adjust

the

volume

with

the

[Volume]

slider.

Play

a

different

note

on

the

keyboard

—

again

within

the

bottom

two

octaves

—

and

the

accompaniment

will

change

to

reflect

the

new

chord.

To

make

nice,

smooth

chord

changes,

try

to

play

each

new

note

just

before

—

but

not

exactly

on

—

the

first

beat

of

the

following

bar.

(Watch

the

Beat

indicator

in

the

display

for

help.)

This

is

entirely

a

matter

of

feel

and

will

take

some

practice.

Also,

different

Music

Styles

(with

different

rhythmic

feels)

may

require

a

different

timing.

Once

you

get

the

idea,

you

can

play

a

solo

part

over

top

of

the

accompaniment!

(Ah,

yes

....

the

miracle

of

modern

technology!)

Play

your

solo

anywhere

within

the

top

four

octaves

of

the

keyboard.

(A

piano

sound

has

already

been

selected

as

the

solo

instrument.)

When

you’re

ready

for

the

big

finale,

find

and

press

the

[Intro/Ending]

button

(below

and

to

the

left

of

the

display).

An

automatic

Ending

phrase

will

complete

your

dazzling

performance!

There

...

doesn't

that

feel

better?!

Now,

please

proceed

to
