Automatic registration: Music
Assistant
The KR111 has a practical function that allows you
to quickly make all required settings for the music
you want to play: the MUSIC ASSISTANT function. It
prepares everything you need for working with the
automatic accompaniment function (Style, Tones,
effects, etc.). It is not available for song playback.
The following parameters are set automatically when
you select a Music Assistant memory:
• Music Style
• Tempo
• Sounds for the Upper, Layer
and Lower parts
• Effect settings
• Style Orchestrator

This assigns a fabulous grand piano sound to the
entire keyboard (switching off the [Split] button if it
was on).
Note: In this mode, the left and center pedal always have
their "normal" piano functions (i.e. "Soft" for the left pedal,
and "Sostenuto" for the center pedal), no matter what
functions you assigned them (see p. 46).
(2) Start playing.
See page 23 for additional functions you can use
