your solo notes down (left) or up (right). Press this
lever towards the rear of the DisCover 5 to add modu-
lation (usually vibrato) to the notes you are playing.
B MASTER section
[VOLUME] knob: Use this knob to set the global vol-
ume of your DisCover 5.
[BALANCE] knob: This knob allows you to set the vol-
ume balance between the notes you play on the key-
board (KEYBOARD) and the song parts (SONG). Turn it
towards the right if you think your solo is too soft.
C D Beam controller
This controller allows you to influence the timbre of
the notes you play, to control song playback, and to
create some unique effects. All you need to do is move
your hand up/down or left/right above the two “eyes”.
The buttons allow you to assign the desired function
to the D Beam Controller. See p. 37.
D PLAYER section
[CHAIN] button: Press this button to access the Chain
display where you can select a song chain to be played
back, edit existing chains, program new ones, etc.
When this button lights, [|√], [º], [‰], [®/ª] are used to
control playback of the current song.
[NEXT≈SONG] button: Press this button to select the
next song you want to use, while the current one is
still running. If the [CHAIN] button lights, this button
allows you to select the next song of the selected
chain.
[MINUS≈ONE] button: Press this button to switch off
the part you want to play (or sing) yourself. The part
to be muted is selectable (page 19).
[|√], [º], [‰], [®/ª]: These buttons allow you to return to
the beginning of the current song, “rewind” or fast-
foward in one-measure steps, and to start and stop
playback of the selected song.
BEAT indicator: this indicator flashes at the speed of
the currently-set tempo (the tempo value also appears
in the display).
E TRANSPOSE section
These buttons allow you to transpose the DisCover 5
up ([]) or down ([ƒ]) in semitone steps. You can also
specify which parts are to be transposed (page 38).
If neither button lights, no manual transposition is
used.
F FADE OUT/IN button
This button allows you to start playback with an auto-
matic fade-in of the music. If you press it during play-
back, the volume will gradually decrease (fade-out).
