Special Features of the YPT-410
■ Creating New Sounds
Page 18
By adjusting just two knobs you can add varying degrees of distortion,
“sweetness,” or other characteristics to a sound to change it subtly or drasti-
cally. Parameters that can be assigned to the knobs include effect, filter, enve-
lope generator and more. You can create new sounds in real time!
■ Arpeggio Function
Page 14
Similar to the arpeggio functions provided on some synthesizers, this func-
tion automatically produces arpeggios (broken chords) when you simply play
the appropriate notes on the keyboard. A variety of arpeggios can be pro-
duced by changing your fingering or the arpeggio type.
■ Performance assistant technology
Page 23
Play along with a song on the instrument’s keyboard and produce a perfect
performance every time ... even if you play wrong notes! All you have to do
is play on the keyboard—alternately on the left- and right-hand ranges of the
keyboard, for example—and you’ll sound like a pro as long as you play in
time with the music.
■ Play a Variety of Instrument Voices
Page 28
The instrument voice that sounds when you play the keyboard can be
changed to violin, flute, harp, or any of an extensive range of voices. You can
change the mood of a song written for piano, for example, by using violin to
play it instead. Experience a whole new world of musical variety.
■ Play Along with Styles
Page 33
Want to play with full accompaniment? Try the auto-accompaniment Styles.
The accompaniment styles provide the equivalent of a full backing band cov-
ering a wide variety of styles from waltzes to 8-beat to euro-trance ... and
much more. Select a style that matches the music you want to play, or exper-
iment with new styles to expand your musical horizons.
