playing.

YLLEE ((K

Keeyy SSttoopp)):: Turns on the drum tracks of the selected SD1 PLUS style - Styles from the SD1 PLUS will be heard when the song

is playing). You can now choose to maintain this setting permanently (i.e. whenever you next call up this Midi file, it should utilize
the drum tracks of the Ketron SD1 PLUS rather than the original drum tracks of the Midi files).
To memorize the new Song Set up with Remix:
1 ) Press the GM (F1) button while the Midi file is running.
2 ) Press the Start/Stop button to stop the Midi file.
3) While within a GM part, press SAVE/ENTER, then F 10 to confirm the Saving operation.

You may choose to either overwrite the existing Midi file or rename this new file.
For every Midi file it is possible to also choose the starting and ending Bar for the Remix function.
To select the initial Bar press F2 and search the number with Value +/-.

To select the final Bar press again F2 and search the number with Value+/-. The SD1 PLUS will start to play the Remix style only within the
initial and final bar as assigned above when you press START. You can press ‘Song’ to go back to the drum tracks of the Midi file.
Patterns on Disk can be also used with the Drum Remix feature (and saved using the Save Song Set up) but ONLY if they have been loaded
into the Pattern location in RAM.

ASSSSIISSTT - The Bassist function automatically allows the Manual Bass to be played to the left of the Split point of the keyboard section while

the right side can be used to play chords or solo parts. Every time you take off your hand from the right keyboard section, the chord last
played on the right section remains in memory (if the Hold push button is activated) whereas the Bass can be played freely without affec-
ting the chord. This is a cool feature used to reduce the redundancy that can be associated with a style and allows the musician to freely
produce natural, human bass lines in real life. This function is automatically set ‘On’ when Pianist/Bassist and Manual (under Bass) are both
activated.
