User manual PEAVEY GK 330

[. . . ] Owner's manual ENGLISH Care of your keyboard Your keyboard will give you years of playing pleasure if you follow the simple rules outlined below: x x x x Do not expose the keyboard to high temperature, direct sunlight and excessively dusty places. Avoid physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or placing heavy objects on the keyboard. Never use cleaners such as alcohol or solvents to clean the keyboard. Always turn the power off when making any connections. The keyboard is provided with a replaceable NON CHARCHEABLE LITHIUM BATTERY (CR2032 3 Volts), to maintain user programmed data intact while the instrument is off. [. . . ] The sophisticated Auto Accompaniment system can provide automated bass and chord backing that is perfectly matched to the selected accompaniment Style. The Styles a formed by 5 sections, or tracks, that generate the automatic arrangements: Drums, Bass and 3 Accomp, and an additional two tracks, Upper and Lower, for the keyboard sounds. The automatic arrangements are triggered by playing chords (fingered or one-finger) on the lower part of the keyboard below the split point. Selecting Style Mode To select the Styles, you must set the GK330 to STYLE mode. At the center of the display, the message STYLE is shown to show that the instrument is ready to accept a STYLE selection. To enable the Style auto-accompaniments, you must select one of the two chord recognition modes (ONE FINGER or FINGERED). Pressing this button activates the KEY START function automatically and enables the Style auto-accompaniments by recalling one of the two chord recognition modes (ONE FINGER or FINGERED). The left display arrowhead points to FINGERED or ONE FINGER. The display example below shows FINGERED selected. Note: When SINGLE TOUCH PLAY is on, the sounds memorized in the Style Performance are assigned to all the tracks. Selecting a Style changes the sounds of the accompaniment sections (Drums, Bass, Accomp) as well as the keyboard sections (Upper 1, Upper 2, Lower). When SINGLE TOUCH PLAY is off, selecting a Style changes the sounds of the accompaniment sections only. The FINGERED and ONE FINGER chord recognition modes are explained in detail further ahead. You can select a Style in three different ways: Use the [-] and [+] buttons to select a Style In STYLE mode, the [­] and [+] buttons of the numeric keypad step through the individual Styles one by one. Press the [+] button to select the Styles in increasing numerical order. Press the [­] button to select the Styles in reverse order. Holding the button down scrolls rapidly forwards or backwards through all the Styles. The selected Style number is shown at the center of the display. GK330 9 Use the numeric keypad to select a Style Using the numeric keypad is the quickest way to go directly to the Style you need, but first, you must know the exact number of the Style. The name and corresponding number of all the Styles in memory are silkscreened above the display on the left. You'll see that they are organized in Groups (8 BEAT, 16 BEAT, ROCK, etc. ) and numbered from 01 through to 96. Select the Style you want by entering the corresponding two digits in sequence. For example, to select Style number 17 (Shuffle 2), press button [1] then [7]. 1 2 Selecting the Styles by recalling the Performances Another quick way of selecting the Styles is by selecting the Performances, but this means that you have to remember which Style is memorized in the Performances. If you use the Performances to select Styles, remember to turn off the S. T. You can also memorize your preferred Styles to these buttons with Store Performance. This argument is explained in detail further ahead on page 16. Playing the Styles 6. Once you have selected a Style, press the [START/STOP] button. [. . . ] If you press the [BEAT] button, the display will show the factory setting (in the example, "4"). Press the [BEAT] button repeatedly to scroll to the required Beat number. For example, if you want to practice a piece with a time signature of 5/4, assign the number 5 to the BEAT function. The BEAT value has the range, 0 - 9.
