Playing and controlling the sound
Playing the keyboard
The instrument’s keyboard is like a piano keyboard. Just play it!
With some Sounds, you can press the keys while they are down, and the sound
might vary (for example, you might hear more vibrato).
Using the pedals
Pedals do different things depending on how they are programmed. The Damper
pedal is just that – a damper pedal, sustaining notes until you release the pedal.
The Assignable pedal (or footswitch) may change depending on how it is pro-
grammed in the
Settings > Controllers > Foot page.
Using the control sliders and switches
Depending on the selected mode, the CONTROL sliders and switches can control
different things, like volume levels of the different sounds, the organ drawbars
or some assignable functions. How they work is shown by the strip display under
the sliders.
Using the assignable switches
Depending on the chosen Keyboard Set and the assigned functions, these con-
trollers can do different things. With the DNC Sounds, the switches can either
‘book’ a function, that will be triggered while playing, or enable (or disable) it by
pressing the button to ‘toggle’ it. In other cases, these switches can ‘toggle’ or
‘trigger’ the assigned function.
