Pete C YES!! you can hold LOWER sound Wed Sep 5 19:39:42 2001 HI Peter You can hold the LOWER sound. To do this please follow these steps:- 1. You MUST have i30 OS 2.1.3 installed (latest upgrade) 2. Go into ARRANGER MODE 3. Press "Menu" 4. Select "GLOBAL" 5. Press (select) the "Harmony Type" "Actual" 6. From pull-down top menu select "Write ARR Global" 7. The "Sound" button will now control the "holding" of the LOWER sound. 8. Make sure you "save" to diskette so that your SET (when reloaded) will re enable this feature. So, to use this, select our arrangement. Start playing.... when you want the LOWER to be heard, press the LOWER play/mute button ON and press the "sound" button on - LOWER will be held until either of these buttons are switched off. Remember that you have changed an ARRANGEMENT MODE global setting - meaning that it will apply globally to all arrangements in this SET. The setting will remain even if the i30 is powered off. (Also note, the "HARMONY" voice and "K.BASS" voice cannot be activated until you change that ARR GLOBAL setting back to "Auto".) Have fun Pete
