Group 1: Basic
Master Tune [430.0 Hz...450.0 Hz]
Adjusts the overall pitch in 0.2 Hz steps, with A4 (middle
A) as the reference pitch.
Transpose [-12...+12]
Transposes the pitch in semitone steps over a range of +/-
1 octave.
Exp Minimum Level (Expression Minimum Level)
[0...30]
Specifies the minimum level when the expression pedal
etc. is operated. This will be the volume when the control-
ler selected by “Exp Ctrl” is in the minimum position.
Exp Ctrl (Expression Controller)
[Both Indiv, Knob Only, Pedal Only, Both Multi]
Both Indiv : The [EXPRESSION/OVERDRIVE] knob and
the expression pedal connected to the EXPRESSION
PEDAL jack will both control the volume. These two will
function simultaneously.
Knob Only
: The [EXPRESSION/OVERDRIVE] knob will
control the volume.
Pedal Only
: The expression pedal connected to the
EXPRESSION PEDAL jack will control the volume.
Both Multi
: The [EXPRESSION/OVERDRIVE] knob and
the expression pedal connected to the EXPRESSION
PEDAL jack will both control the volume. The [EXPRES-
SION/OVERDRIVE] knob will set the maximum level of
the range controlled by the expression pedal.
Prog Chng (Program Change)[All Params, Int. Params]
Specifies whether the settings of the front panel ROTARY
section, VIBRATO/CHORUS section, and PERCUSSION
setting will also change when you switch programs.
All Params (All Parameters)
: When you switch programs,
the settings of the front panel keys will also change
according to the settings of the selected program.
Int. Params (Internal Parameters)
: The settings of the
front panel keys will not change when you switch
programs.
Pitch Bend Range [-7...+7]
Specifies the range (in semitone steps) that the pitch can
change when the pitch wheel is operated or when MIDI
pitch bend change messages are received.
Wheel Brake Speed [Slow, Fast]
Selects either Slow or Fast as the speed with which the
wheel brake will stop or resume rotation.
Key Trigger [Shallow, Deep]
Shallow : When a note is played, the sound will begin or
end at the first contact (shallow position). This allows the
keys to respond rapidly to your playing, as on traditional
combo organs. However, the “bounce” when a key
returns may produce a brief sound.
Deep
: When a note is played, the sound will begin or end
at the second contact (deep position). This produces the
typical playing response of most electronic keyboard
instruments.
