Performing with Bass & Percussion
Now you can try playing the Bass & Percussion part.
Select a sound.
Play a note in the keyboard region shown below.
The Bass & Percussion part will sound.
The Bass & Percussion part is distinctive in that it splits the keyboard to obtain its own dedicated range of
keys. This means that you can use your right hand to play melody or chords while playing a bass line or
voice percussion with your left hand.
In other words, you can simulate an entire a cappella group all by yourself!
Adjusting the Bass & Percussion volume
You can adjust the volume of the Bass & Percussion part over a range of four steps.

sound buttons.
The four-stage volume adjustment will be

The sound button you pressed will
blink, and all the remaining sound
buttons will light.

This completes the setting. This setting is
remembered even if you turn off the power.
Don’t power-off the VP-550 during this
process; doing so may cause a malfunc-
tion.
To check the current setting, hold
down [MIC ON/OFF] for one second or
longer.
The sound button corresponding to the
current value will blink, and the remaining
sound buttons will light.
You can also press a sound button to change
the setting at this time.
