The MEMORY
So far, you have learn how to select single and combined Voices in Normal, Dual and Split modes using a number of panel operations. If, every time you want to create a preferred sound combination, you have to take several steps to arrive at your goal, you would ask yourself if there wasn’t a quicker way of selecting what you want. The answer lies in the MEMORY­which offers a quick and simple method of recalling a panel situation at the touch of a single button. A MEMORYis simply a combination of voices and other panel settings (Voices, Track Volumes, Effect type and level, Style, Variation, Chord Recognition mode, Split Point, etc.). The gk360 contains six Memory which recall factory-set panel confi gurations, but you can also memorize your own combinations using the STORE MEMORY feature.
Selecting the Memory
Take a quick look at the display, then press one of MEMORY but-
1
tons (M1 - M6); for example, press the [M1] button. The display shows the situation recalled by the MEMORY. If you were playing in NORMAL mode, after selecting the Performance you will fi nd that the keyboard will be split and the mode will have changed to either Fingered, or One Finger, to enable the Styles. You will also see a change of Style number. For more information about how to recall Styles by selecting the MEMORY, refer to the section entitled “The Styles” on page 8)
Repeat the selections for all the other Performance buttons, observe

the changes in the display and play on the keyboard to listen to the change of voices.

Balancing the Lower and Upper sections
gk360
If you are playing in Normal mode with Voices on a Split keyboard, you may at some stage want to adjust the volume of one section with respect to the other. Using the
[MIXER] Volume controls, you will be able to balance your Upper and Lower voices to the levels required very easily. The MIXER consists of 5 twin buttons organized in two rows. The top row of buttons are [INCREASE VOLUME] controls while the bot­tom row are [DECREASE VOLUME] controls. When you are playing with voices only, voice balancing tasks require the use of the [UPPER] and [LOWER] controls only. The other three controls, (Drums, Bass and Accomp), are explained under Styles on page 12.
To increase the volume of, the Upper section, for example, press the top [INCREASE VOLUME] button and hold it down until you reach the Volume required. The display shows the Volume level of the Upper section.
To decrease the volume, press the bottom [DECREASE VO­LUME] control. If the Upper section is playing with the DUAL effect, the [UPPER MIXER] controls adjust both voices at the same time.
INCREASE VOLUME
DECREASE VOLUME
Muting the sections
If you want to exclude a section (mute, or turn off), you can use the MIXER control buttons. Simply press both [INCREASE VOLUME] and [DECREASE VOLUME] buttons at the same time to mute the section required. For example, if you press both the top and bottom buttons of the [UPPER MIXER], the display will show UPPER OFF. To restore the volume to normal, press both the [INCREASE] and [DECREASE VOLUME] buttons again at the same time.
Instant Piano Voice
Regardless of the current situation, you can recall the Piano Voice in­stantly by pressing the [ PIANO] button. Pressing this button returns the keyboard to NORMAL single voice play with the PIANO voice active across the entire keyboard. Press the [PIANO] button again to return to the previously selected situation.
MUTE SECTION
The [PIANO] button always returns you to a single piano voice playing across the full keyboard. You may use the PIANO button as a “return to start” button whenever you wish to have only one sound active across all 61 keys.

Add Pitch Bend to your playing
While you play, you can add Pitch Bend to your keyboard sounds by using the [PITCH BEND] buttons located to the left of the control panel. You can bend the pitch 2 semitones above or below normal using these controls. Hold down the top [PITCH BEND] button to bend the notes up. Hold down the bottom [PITCH BEND] button to bend the notes down. The pitch returns to normal when you release the button. Pitch Bend is a “glide” (or glissato) effect which simulates the effect heard in certain instruments (trombone, guitar, violin, etc.).
Play with Effects or bypass them
While you play, one or both effects (Reverb and/or Chorus) will be shown active by the small black indicator arrow at the top of the display. This means that the current Performance is being processed by one or both effect types. By means of the [REVERB] and [CHORUS] buttons on the extreme right hand side of the control panel, you can turn the effect on or off at will. When the small black display arrow is shown pointing to the REVERB and/or CHORUS indicator, the current voices are playing with the effects. When one or both indicators are off, the respective effect is bypassed and the sounds play with no effect.

PITCH UP
PITCH DOWN
To restore the effect, press the same button again. 8 Reverbs and 8 Chorus (Modulation effects) are available to choose from and both effects units have an independent effect level control. For further details refer to the section entitled “The Digital Effects” on page 14.
Touch Response
The [TOUCH] button is a general function which affects the keyboard globally. The gk360 keyboard is Velocity Sensitive; in other words, the harder you play on the keys, the louder the sound becomes, as occurs in an acoustic piano. If you prefer to play on the keyboard without TOUCH RESPONSE, you can disable the function by pressing the [TOUCH] button. The small black arrow pointing to the Touch indicator will turn off. Press the [TOUCH] button again to restore TOUCH RESPONSE to the keyboard.

Styles - Auto-Accompaniment
What are the Styles?
Styles are a collection of musical patterns representing many types of music, ranging from rock and pop to traditional and ethnic music. The gk360 contains 96 different auto-accompaniment Styles that can be used to provide fully-orchestrated arrangements. The sophisticated Auto Accompaniment system can provide automated bass and chord backing that is perfectly matched to the selected accompaniment Style. The Styles a formed by 5 sections, or tracks, that generate the automatic arrangements: Drums, Bass and 3 Accomp, and an additional two tracks, Upper and Lower, for the keyboard sounds. The automatic arrangements are triggered by playing chords (fi ngered or one-fi nger) on the lower part of the keyboard below the split point.
Selecting Style Mode
To select the Styles, you must set the gk360 to STYLE mode
Press the [STYLE] button

As you change chord from Major to minor or seventh, etc., you will notice a change of style pattern. Each time you change key, for example, from C to F, the Style pattern will transpose automatically. The names of the recognized chords are displayed in the left hand corner of the display. For example, if you play the chord of C, the display will show the large letter “C”. If you play a chord not recognized by the instrument’s chord recognition system, the current pattern will not change until you play a recognized chord. Also shown in the display are 4 round Beat pattern indicators which show the current beat of the bar as you play your style. The fi rst bar of every two-bar cycle shows all 4 indicators, while every other beat shown one small indicator. The fi rst beat of the second bar is shown with the larger beat indicator.

About the Chord Recognition Modes
The gk360 allows you to choose between two different Chord recognition modes: FINGERED and ONE FINGER. The chords that you play (Fingered or One Finger type) must be played on the lower part of the keyboard dedicated to the Auto Bass Chords (from note C2 up to and including note F#3).

TEMPO
FINGERED mode requires that you press at least 3 notes for a chord to be recognized.
ONE FINGER mode requires that you press only one note for a Major chord to be recognized. Other chords require more notes
If a Chord recognition mode isn’t selected, press the
1
[MODE] button as many times as necessary until the left display arrowhead points to either FINGERED or ONE FINGER

Using the Style Auto functions
The Styles provide a wide variety of automatic functions that make the gk360 very easy to play. The functions are found in the ACCOMPANIMENT CONTROL section.
Select the Fill In and change Style Variation
Each Style has two accompaniment patterns, NORMAL and VARIATION, which you can select at any time before or after starting to play the Styles by pressing the corresponding button. The LED status on the FILL 1 or FILL 2 buttons tells you which Style pattern is active for play, Normal or Variation. When you press the [FILL 1/NORMAL] or the [FILL 2/VAR] button during playback, the current pattern will be interrupted by an appropriate Fill In, or “break”, then proceed with the same pattern or variation, depending on which button you press. The LED of the button pressed will turn on while the LED of the other button will turn off.
Start the Style accompaniments with Key Start
The KEY START function allows you to synchronize the start of your Style with a note or chord pressed on the keyboard without using the Start/Stop button. When you press the [SYNCRO] button, the display shows 4 fl ashing black dots (beat pattern indicators) after the word TEMPO to indicate the synchro start stand-by. Now, if you play a note or chord on the lower part of the keyboard, the Style pattern starts automatically.
Start the Style with an Intro pattern
Before starting the Style, press the [INTRO] button to put the instrument into intro-stand-by mode. The LED of the current Style pattern (Fill1/Normal or Fill2/Var) starts to fl ash to indicate that the INTRO has been preset. Now press the [START/STOP] button and play a note or chord on the lower part of the keyboard. The Style starts with an introductory pattern then proceeds with the selected auto­accompaniment (Normal or Variation). Stop the Style with an Ending phrase You can stop your Style automatically with a professionally-programmed ending pattern without using the Start/Stop button. While the Style is playing, simply press the [ENDING] button. The Style auto-accompaniment will stop automatically with an Ending phrase.

Balancing the Style accompaniment tracks with the Mixer
gk360
Playing with Styles, you can adjust the volume of one section with respect to the others using the [MIXER] Volume controls.
INCREASE VO­LUME
You will be able to balance all the Style sections; Drums, Bass, Accomp as well as the Lower and Upper keyboard sections. How the MIXER controls are organized is explained on page
6. In Style mode, to increase the volume of the Bass track, for example, press the top [INCREASE VOLUME] button and hold it down until you reach the Volume required. The display shows the Volume level of the section being controlled, in this case the Bass section. To decrease the volume, press the bottom [DECREASE VOLUME] control.
Note: The volumes of the three Accompaniment tracks are controlled simultaneously by the [ACCOMP] Volume buttons.
DECREASE VO­LUME
Muting the Style tracks
If you want to exclude a section (mute, or turn off), simply press both [INCREASE VOLUME] and [DECREASE VOLUME] buttons at the same time to mute the section required. For example, to play your Upper and Lower voices with the BASS accompaniment only, mute the DRUMS and ACCOMP tracks. The display will show OFF for the respective section. To restore the volume to normal, press both the [INCREASE] and [DECREASE VOLUME] buttons again at the same time.
MUTE TRACKS
Using the Single Touch Play settings in Style mode
The SINGLE TOUCH PLAY settings are a quick and easy way of reconfi guring the voices of the UPPER and LOWER sections of a Style by pressing only one button while you are playing, without having to stop to change voices manually. Playing the Styles with the [SINGLE TOUCH PLAY] button on, each Style you select recalls a panel confi guration (voices and volume settings) for the accompaniment sections (Drums, Bass, Accomp) as well as for the Upper and Lower sections.The S.T. PLAY settings are recalled using the fi rst four buttons of the MEMORY section [M1-M4]. The gk360 provides a total of 96 x 4 = 384 different panel confi gurations.

owners manual
Digital Effects
The gk360 contains a Digital multi-effects processor which adds realism to your playing. The Digital Signal Processor (DSP) consists of one unit which process the Performances with Reverb and Chorus effects. The buttons which control the Digital Effect are DSP button. The DSP indicators When the DSP display indicators are on, all the voices of the current Performance will play with their programmed effects. When one or both the corresponding display indicators are off, the sounds will play “dry” (without effects).
The Memory buttons and Store Memory
You have seen that the Single Touch Play settings recall factory­set confi gurations for the current Style when the [S.T. PLAY] button is on. You have also seen that, when S.T.PLAY is off, (display indicator off), the 6 buttons of the PERFORMANCE section recall factory-set panel confi gurations (see page 5), including Voices, Volumes, Style, Variation, Split Point, etc..
How to Store a Memory
gk360
If you don’t want to use the factory Performance settings, you can memorize your own panel confi gurations to the PERFORMANCE buttons. This very useful feature allows you to store up to 6 preferred panel confi gurations, including Style, Variation and other selections, which you can then recall at the touch of a single button. To memorize a Performance, the fi rst thing to do is to modify one of the factory set situations. For example, if you select STYLE number 45 (Swing) with Single Touch Play on, the voices recalled for the Upper and Lower sections will be Organ 2 and Strings respectively. You only need to change one aspect of any factory setting to be able to save the new setting as a new Performance. In our example, let’s change the voice assigned to the Voice 1 section.
Press the [VOICE/SONG/STYLE] button, press the
1
[S.T.PLAY] button, then select Style n. 49 (BasicTrio)
1
Press the [VOICE/SONG/STYLE] button and select a
2
different Voice by using either the [+] and [–] buttons, or the numeric keypad (voice 27, Jazz Guitar, for this example).

Disable the Single Touch Play function (press the
3
[S.T.PLAY])
Hold down the [STORE] button and simultaneously press
4
one of the PERFORMANCE buttons [M1] - [M6].

Page14
For example, if you press [M5]. The small black arrowhead at the bottom of the display will show the current Performance. Whatever information was previously stored in the selected button will be erased by the new data
At this point, you can check if your new Performance has been stored. Changing the panel situation (for example, select a Voice or Style), then press the MEMORY button that you used to store your Performance in point 4 above.
