KR-11 � Basic screen functions

Chord Tone Setting
After stopping Style playback (or before starting the Arranger), you can play chords with your left hand that will sound the way you play them (without the automatic accompaniment). The Tone being used for sounding the chords is appropriately called �Chord Tone.� Along with the Chord Tone, the KR-11 will also play a bass note with (you guessed it!) the �Bass Tone�. Ordinarily these Tones are preset, but they can be changed through the following procedure.

2. Select the Bass Tone using the buttons to the left of the display, and the Chord Tone with the buttons to the right of the display. If you don�t want the Bass Tone or Chord Tone to sound, select �OFF.�
Note: Some Tones allow you to sustain the notes you play until you play other notes (Hold function), thus freeing up your left hand for other tasks between the changes. Note: When the power is turned on, <Chord Tone> is set to �Soft E.Piano� and <Bass Tone> is set to �Fretless Bs�. Note: See also �Volume of the Rhythm, Bass, Accomp, and Chord/Bass Tones� on page 27.

1. Press <Chord>.

11.1 Music Assistant: registering panel settings
The KR-11 is equipped with 32 Music Assistant memories that allow you to store almost all settings (or registrations) you make on the front panel. So far, we have only discussed the easy part of changing the preset settings. Later on, you will discover that you can also carry out a lot of in-depth programming. Those settings can also be saved to a Music Assistant memory.
Note: The KR-11 comes with a number of Music Assistant settings you can use as starting points for your own settings. Feel free to overwrite them when you run out of internal Music Assistant memories. Otherwise save your own settings to disk. Note: You can also name your settings (see below).
