EVENT is designed to provide easy access to the most sophisticated style architecture ever developed on an arranger keyboard.
It comes with over 400 Styles, divided into Real Styles, Live Styles or MIDI Styles.
The Real Styles, with their impressive authenticity, stand out thanks to the backing tracks in full audio format. Event features a rich manual Lower section, with three independent parts and Mono / Poly modes.
You can use the new advanced Style Edit to program your new styles and save any customized  Configuration in the User memory.

The rhythm section features over 580 Real Drums, complete drum patterns covering a wide variety of musical genres with Intro, Ending, 4 Variations, Fill and Break.
Unlike other musical instruments, where the rhythmic sequences are mostly short loops controlled via MIDI, EVENT has real studio recordings of professional drummers available in eight or more measures, without any cuts or editing. The ending result is incredibly smooth and natural.
EVENT adds Real Drum track equalization, as well as the Drum Lock mode which allows to loop the rhythmic pattern that is being played.
Furthermore, there are 94 new stereo Drum Sets: with Drum Mixer and Remap, which give you the option to reassign the individual percussion sounds and saving them on the 32 available User Drum locations.
The Groove mode is outstanding, with over 700 percussive sequences, three independent Groove parts that control loops as you would find them in the House, Hip Hop and Latin genre, as well as an amazing variety of Afro-Cuban or Brazilian type Latin percussions with Conga, Shaker, Maracas, Cowbell, Cajon, Tambourine and many more.

The Bass section provides a wonderful library of 256 Real Bass: bass lines that are recorded in studio by real bass players on various tones and perfectly synchronized with the rhythm of the style. It is impossible to not be carried away by the energy of these bass lines, from traditional Ballads, Soul rhythms, to Disco Funk. The tone color, the correct finger positions on the neck and all the natural vibes of the performer give the sensation of playing with a real bassist next to you! Real Bass adapts naturally to chord changes, as if it were a normal MIDI bass, even playing To Lowest mode with the bass upside down on the lowest note!
It is very easy to switch between MIDI and Audio bass in real time (Twin Bass), modify the voice of the Real Bass using a parametric equalizer or lock the current set using the Lock Bass mode.
The series of functions available for Bass such as Manual, To Lowest, To Root and Bassist are particularly refined: for example, the latter recognizes the chord by combining the notes played both on the right part and on the Manual bass part. Finally, the Multibass supports custom Bass progressions for various chords.

Real Chord is at the same time the most elaborate and entertaining feature of EVENT.
You can control many guitar tracks or other instruments in real time: everything can be performed on several tonalities, including all chords on the scale. More than 300 Real Chords, including a wide variety of recordings such as Folk,
Jazz, Nylon, Electric guitar, and other instruments like sax, harmonica, violin, trumpet and so on, are all perfectly synchronized with MIDI into the arranger architecture.
The Real Chord features a dedicated EFX Insert with Chorus, Eq, Overdrive,Phaser, Wah and other effects.
The Real Chord pattern can be locked using the Lock Chord function to obtain “ostinato”, peculiar to the Disco Funk genre. Just listen to one of EVENT Unplugged styles and get ready to be amazed by the authentic sound of a simple acoustic guitar. EVENT has also a vast library of Live Guitars (guitar loops managed by slices and controlled via MIDI), Long Chord and five MIDI chords, capable of playing simultaneously and with different voices and volume.
Another noteworthy feature is the Multichord section, with piano accompaniments, strings and other orchestral parts programmed for any given tones.

The powerful Audio Style Modeling system was engineered to offer an enormous variety of musical solutions, with the possibility of managing both the audio tracks of Real Drum, Real Bass and Real Chord and the orchestral MIDI tracks that you want to add to the arrangement.
Navigation is easy and you can create new rhythmic or harmonic patterns within a few seconds.
EVENT is also expandable: you can customize it by adding sounds and styles as well as audio recordings of rhythm, bass and chords.

EVENT delivers premium sound quality and top-tier voices as we want to deliver the bestin-class professional arranger. 10 Sounds banks come with a brand-new acoustic Grand Piano, a series of Multilayer Electric Pianos, an incredible selection of Strings and Brass, new acoustic and electric guitars, a completely renewed series of Pad, Synth, Bass and Ethnic voices.
The instrument features 2 Voice sections, each capable of handling up to 3 simultaneous voices with 2 separate EFX Inserts. The Real Solos are solo instruments such as Trumpet, Violin, Sax, Flute, Oboe etc. with distinctive sounds, refined controls over Aftertouch, Round Robin, Articulation and natural decay of samples, all for delivering the authentic feel of real musicians playing. The Organ section is crafted with particular attention: a rich selection of sounds from original electric organs that can be mixed with the digital Drawbars, combining the high quality textures of the first with the real organ fell of the latter (Twin Organ). In addition to the outstanding internal voice editing system, EVENT also features a new 2.5 GB User Sampler: you can upload new factory sound banks (SBK) on the non-volatile Flash memory or create new custom sounds on up to 4 stereo layers.
EVENT displays an external EFX controls on the panel, so you can easily adjust parameters of Brilliance, Chorus, Delay, Tremolo, Overdrive and Wah on the fly.

EVENT features a microphone menu with 2 inputs (Micro 1 and Micro 2) with relative gain controls and new dedicated effects, as well as an individual audio output for the Micro 1.
The Voicetron section has been revamped with new harmony effects and many parametric controls for an accurate tone customization.

The two integrated multimedia players can play a wide range of formats: MIDI, MP3, WAV, TXT, PDF, MP4 and many more.
They are equipped with all the classic Karaoke functions such as viewing the Lyrics on an external display, Lead Mute, Crossfade, Search and Fade Out.
Use Markers to reach different positions in songs, such as the beginning of a new verse or the end of the chorus.
The new JukeBox offers quick access to different selections of music tracks, allowing performers to easily control their gig’s workflow. Stem plays up to five audio tracks simultaneously in perfect sync. Each audio track has individual Mute and Volume controls, it is also possible to change its pitch and Tempo without altering the pitch of the rhythm. It is also possible to exclude one or more tracks from playback, for example Piano or Bass, in case you want to play
them live. A typical use of Stem is the playback of backing tracks with or without singing (Minus One), a particularly useful application for singers, guitarists in a live performance, but also for reed instrument soloists such as sax or
trumpet.

EVENT has dedicated connections for audio, video and file management. Two separate pairs of outputs, in addition to the main outputs, provide seamless routing flexibility to independently control the various sound sources.
The high impedance and balanced inputs allow you to connect any sound source to the keyboard, such as a microphone, a guitar, a smartphone, or a tablet. Connect a compatible HDMI touchscreen monitor to display the lyrics or to control the instrument in mirror mode.
A bigger control surface offers more flexibility and an easier access to all the EVENT functions, both in studio and on stage. In addition to the physical connections, Bluetooth and wireless modules allow you to stream audio from external devices, such as smartphones and tablets and remote control the instrument via the KETRON app.
