Using the Mixer
As mentioned above, the word “part” as used in relation to
this piano has the same meaning as it does in an orchestra or
band. It also refers to the Upper1, Upper2, Lower1, and
Lower2 parts of the keyboard that you use when layering or
splitting keyboard tones (page E-19).
The following example shows a typical list of parts when you
are using auto accompaniment with Upper1 and Upper2
tones layered in the melody keyboard range.
Much like a real band, auto accompaniment patterns and
patterns you create with the sequencer are played using
multiple “parts”, such as chords, bass, and drum parts. The
mixer provides you with the means to turn individual parts
on (so they sound) and off (so they don’t), and to change the
tone, volume, pan, effect, and other parameters of each part.
This piano is capable of producing a total of 30 different parts.
Parts can be broadly classified as one of two different groups:
Group A and Group B.
J Group A
Group A parts are the ones the piano normally uses for auto
accompaniments and to produce the notes you play. There
are 14 Group A parts, including six “melody parts” (for
keyboard notes), and eight “accompaniment parts” (for auto
accompaniment).
J Group B
There are 16 Group B parts that the piano uses for sounding
MIDI input from an external source. Each of the Group B
parts also corresponds to one of the 16 tracks of the piano’s
sequencer (page E-53).
