Chord Memory
Chord memory is a function that lets you sound a previously-registered chord simply by playing a single key. The VP-03 lets you register 16 chord memories.
Using the chord memory function
1. Press the [MEMORY] button to make it light.
The VP-03 is in chord memory mode.
2. Press one of the [1]–[16] buttons to make it light. The selected chord memory is active. For details, refer to “VP-03 Chord Memory List” (PDF). http://www.roland.com/manuals/
3. Play a single note on the keyboard. You hear the chord that’s registered in the selected chord memory. If you’re not using the keyboard, you can also use ribbon controller C1 to perform.
4. To turn off the chord memory function, press the lit number button ([1]–[16]) to make it go dark.
Registering a chord memory
In addition to using the chord memory function to produce chords with the factory-set notes, you can also overwrite these with your own chords.
1. Press the [MEMORY] button to make it light.
The VP-03 is in chord memory mode.
2. Hold down the chord memory button ([1]–[16]) in which you want to register your own chord, and press the [PLAY/STOP] button. The selected button ([1]–[16]) blinks.
3. Play a chord on the keyboard.
Specify the chord that is heard when you play middle C (C4). While the button is blinking, you can press other notes to add them to the chord. Up to six notes can be registered in the chord.
4. To complete the chord memory registration, press the button that’s blinking ([1]–[16]) to make it light steadily.
