MUSIC KEYBOARD FUNCTION
The FM SOUND SYNTHESIZER UNIT includes a music keyboard function that, with a symply
connecting an optional music keyboard YK-01, it can play as a degital music synthesizer
(1) Keyboard split function to separate a keyboard at an arbitrary point and two
different sound can play simultaneously. One sound is monophonic and the other
is polyphonic.
- Each sound can be assigned to either higher or lower portion of music keyboard.

- You can add a portament and/or trigger function to monophonic sound.
- The maximum of 7 notes can be played with polyphonic mode if both rhythm and
auto—bass-chord are not used. Sustain function is available to polyphonic
sound.
- LFO functions on both polyphonic and monophonic sound to obtain vibrato or
tremolo effect.
(2) Rhuthm and auto-bass-chord function is built in for easy operation.
Each rhysm, bass and chord section is independently switched on and off.
(3) Your own performance can be recorded and reproduced from MSX memory.
It alsio can be saved to the cassett data recorder.

terminal.
(2) Using HiFi stereo amplifier and speaker.

You will obtain real professional quality sound by using/power amplifier and
HX^EXHai speaker. Please connect the stereo power amplifier to R/L output connector
on your FM sound synthesizer unit.
Each sound can be located either to the right or to the left or centered by using
"FM voicing program" software. All preset tones are centered, in £ a meantime.

(WARNING)
Due to wide dynamic i range of FM SOUND SYNTHESIZERHMxS UNIT, when TV monitor
speaker is used for audio out, the tone may reach the saturation point. Should
it be the case please decrease the output level of in the FM sound synthesizer
unit.
It is advisorble to use stereo amplifier and speakers or ^keyboard speakers
