Use the [1 ▲▼], [3 ▲▼] – [5 ▲▼] and [I] buttons to apply effects
to the Voices.
NOTE
Portamento is a function that creates a
smooth transition in pitch from the
first note played on the keyboard to
the next.
NOTE
“DSP” stands for Digital Signal Pro-
cessor (or Processing). DSP changes
and enhances the audio signal in the
digital realm to produce a wide range
of effects.
NOTE
The effect type can be changed. On
the Voice Selection display, select
[6
▲] (VOICE SET) → TAB [E][F]
EFFECT/EQ → [A]/[B] 2 DSP.
NOTE
Depending on the harmony/echo
type, harmony will be applied regard-
less of the chord played with your left
hand.

LEFT HOLD This function causes the LEFT part Voice to be
held even when the keys are released. Non-
decaying Voices such as strings are held continu-
ously, while decay-type Voices such as piano
decay more slowly (as if the sustain pedal has
been pressed).
When the Left Hold is ON, an “H” indication
appears in the Main display.
2 [3 ▲▼
] MONO/POLY This determines whether the part’s Voice is played
monophonically (only one note at a time) or poly-
phonically. Using the MONO mode lets you play
single, lead sounds (such as brass instruments)
more realistically. It also lets you expressively
control the Portamento effect (depending on the
selected Voice) by playing legato.

DSP/DSP
VARIATION With the digital effects built into the instrument,
you can add ambience and depth to your music
in a variety of ways—various effect types, such
as chorus and delay are included.
• The DSP switch is used to turn the DSP (Digi-
tal Signal Processor) effect on or off for the cur-
rently selected keyboard part.
• The DSP Variation switch is used to change
between variations of the DSP effect. You could
use this while you play, for example, to change
the rotating speed (slow/fast) of the rotary
speaker effect.

HARMONY/
ECHO When this is set to ON, the Harmony/Echo
effects are applied to the right-hand Voices
depending on the chord played with your left
hand. For details, refer to the Reference Manual
on the website.
