One Touch
The One Touch function automates quite a few tasks:
• The Arranger selects the preset Style tempo.
• Suitable Reverb and Chorus settings.
• The EM-55 OR selects Tones for the Upper 1 and Upper 2 parts that are is suitable for the selected
Style.
Note: The M-FX settings (see p. 31) are not covered by the One Touch function.
There are 4 One Touch memories per Style
with different settings for the above param-
eters. Here is how to select one:
(1) Select the desired Music Style (see p. 14).
(2) Press the ONE TOUCH [1–2] or [3–4] but-
ton.
The number field in the upper left corner
reads “OT”, followed by the number of the
selected One Touch memory.
(3) Press the same ONE TOUCH button again
if you need “OT2” (1–2) or “OT4” (3–4).
One Touch needs to be activated again
every time you select a new Music Style.
Note: One Touch is also available for the Disk Link
Styles (see also page 15), but it is less meaningful.
Using the EM-55 OR’s Music Assistant
Another practical function for quickly making the right settings for a song you want to play is to take
advantage of the EM-55 OR’s novel MUSIC ASSISTANT function. It prepares everything for you (Style, Tones,
effects, etc.).
(1) Press the [MUSIC ASSISTANT] button.
The following icon appears in the display,
while the message line displays the name of
the first Music Assistant registration:
(2) Use the BANK/NUMBER [1]~[8] buttons
to specify the initial character where the
list should start.
Example: if you want to load the registra-
tions for a song called “Thriller”, press [7]
button three times (to select the first song
that starts with a “T”). If necessary, you can
can now continue your search among the
“Ts” using the [TEMPO/DATA] dial.
In fact, [TEMPO/DATA] allows you to scroll
through all Music Assistant settings.
(3) Press [EXECUTE] to confirm you selection.
Your EM-55 OR is ready to rock…
Note: If necessary, you can now change certain
settings (e.g. select another Tone for Upper 1) and
then save your version to a User Program (see
p. 49).
