Additional Music Style functions

Apart from the basic Music Style functions covered on page 16 and following, your KR103 also provides the following
functions. Most of them are only available while the
Using the Arranger without a split
(Piano Arranger mode)
It is also possible to use the melodic Arranger parts
while assigning one sound to the entire keyboard.
There is no split for chord recognition here (you may
remember that the KR103's keyboard is split when you
switch on the [Arranger] button): the Arranger decodes
every chord you play – no matter where you play it.
Causing the Arranger to play another chord requires
that you play at least a triad (i.e. the three notes that
make up a chord). Feel free to play more than three
chord notes but remember that two notes won't cause
the Arranger to play another chord.
When you hold down the damper (right) pedal, all notes
you play are recognized as one chord.

the Upper part, you can select any other sound and
save your setting to a User Program.
You can also add the Layer part (page 21). Even the
Lower part could be used, but chord recognition
remains active for the entire keyboard.
