    tic piano when the struck strings produce a sym-
    pathetic resonance of the other unstruck strings.

    sounds, string resonance is produced as long as
    the sustain pedal is depressed. The amount of
    string resonance can be adjusted.1.Press and hold the GRAND button for a few

    Transpose
    The TRANSPOSE buttons are used to change the key of the entire instrument in semi-tone steps across
    an entire octave.
    Suppose you learn to play a song—in the key of C, for example—and decide you want to sing it, only to
    find that it’s either too high or too low for your voice. Your choice is to either learn the song all over again
    in a different key, or to use the TRANSPOSE feature.
    Adjust the key with the + and – buttons.
    The key is changed in half-tone increments up to plus or
    minus one octave.
    If the two buttons are pressed at the same time, the key
    returns to C.
    When the TRANSPOSE function is active, the trans-
    posed key is shown on the HOME PAGE display.

    Techni-chord
    TECHNI-CHORD turns your single note melodies into full chords and offers you a choice of different types
    from a simple duet which adds one harmony note to your melody note, to big band reeds which adds four
    harmony notes to your melody note. If TECHNI-CHORD is part of a ONE TOUCH PLAY or PIANO
    STYLIST registration, a suitable TECHNI-CHORD type will be selected automatically.
    Example:
    Left hand (chord)
    Right hand (melody)
    1.Split the keyboard into left and right sections.
    2.Press the TECHNI-CHORD button to turn it
    on.
    3.Play the keyboard.
    The melody you play with your right hand is automatically
    played in chords which are based on the chords you play
    with your left hand.
    This feature is very effective when used with the AUTO
    PLAY CHORD.
    Type setting
    1.Press and hold the TECHNI-CHORD button
    for a few seconds.
    The display looks similar to the following.
    2.Use the , , ,   buttons to select the har-
    mony style.
    When the OCTAVE, HARD ROCK or FANFARE style is
    selected, the TECHNI-CHORD functions even when the
    keyboard is not split.
    
     ORCHESTRATOR
    You can specify which part is used for the har-
    mony tones. Your TECHNI-CHORD perfor-
    mance is enhanced by selecting harmony
    sounds different from the sounds you play and
    the sounds produced by the automatic accompa-
    niment.
    1.Use the ORCHESTRATOR ∧ and ∨ buttons
    to select the part for the harmony notes.
    If CONDUCTOR is selected, the harmony notes are pro-
    duced in the sounds of the part which is currently
    selected in the CONDUCTOR (RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2). In
    other words, the harmony notes are produced in the
    same sound as the melody notes. If both RIGHT 1 and
    RIGHT 2 are on, the harmony notes are produced in the
    sound of the RIGHT 1 part.
    In the case of EASY RECORD (see page 58), when set
    to a PART other than PART 4, the TECHNI-CHORD
    sound is not recorded; so when you use EASY
    RECORD, please set to CONDUCTOR or PART 4.
