[ARRANGER¥BAND] button (the

One Touch

The One Touch function automates quite a few tasks:
• The Arranger selects the preset Style tempo.
• Suitable Reverb and Chorus settings.
• The EXR-46 OR selects sounds for the Main, Split and Dual
parts that are is suitable for the selected Style.
There are 2 One Touch memories per Style with different

If the DATA ENTRY [TONE] button lights, the display now
shows a Tone name ("Piano 2" in the example above).
(3) Press the [ONE¥TOUCH] button again if you need "OT2".

Using the Music Assistant

Another practical function for quickly making the right settings
for a song you want to play is to take advantage of the
EXR-46 OR's novel MUSIC ASSISTANT function. It prepares
everything for working with the Arranger (Style, Tones, effects,
etc.). The Music Assistant is not available for song playback.
The following parameters are changed automatically when you
select a Music Assistant memory:
• Music Style
• Tempo
• Sounds for the Main, Split
and Dual parts
(1) Press the [MUSIC¥ASSISTANT] button.
It lights and the display shows the name of the last Music
Assistant setting you selected (or of the first Music Assistant
memory).
• Effect settings
• Band Orchestrator
• Keyboard Touch

(2) Use FAMILY [√][®] to select the "family" (i.e. genre) that
contains the desired Music Assistant settings.
FAMILY
MALFOUF
The following families are available: MAKSOUM, SAIDI,
MASRI, MALFOUF, ARABI, TRADITIONAL, OR-WORLD,
KHALIGI, TURKISH.
(3) Use SELECT [√][®] to specify the desired Music Assistant
memory within the selected family.
The first press of SELECT [®] (or [√]) shows the name of the
first Music Assistant setting within the selected group. It is
already selected, so if you need the first setting, there is
actually no need to press SELECT [®]. You must use SELECT [√]
or [®], however, to select another Music Assistant setting
within the same group. You can also use the numeric but-
tons. See also "Working with the FAMILY, SELECT and
numeric buttons" (p. 20).
Note: If necessary, you can now change the settings you do not
like (e.g. select another sound for the Main part, etc.) and then
save your new version to a User Program (see p. 45).
