Performing with the Keyboard
■ Adding Expression to the Sound “Active
Expression”
You can use the expression pedal to add expression to the synth part sound.
This feature, called "Active Expression," includes control of two different
functions, "FADE" and "TIMBRE."
When "FADE" is selected, the volume of the synth part increases sharply as
you depress the expression pedal. This allows you to use a variety of
expressive techniques. For example, when playing the synth part in
combination with the organ part, you can release your foot from the
expression pedal to have only the organ part be played. When you press
down on the pedal, the synth is gradually mixed in with the organ part.
When "TIMBRE" is selected, you can use the expression pedal to change the
strength, brightness, and fatness of sounds in the synth part. The most
suitable effects have been pre-assigned for each tone; these cannot be
changed. Moreover, the TIMBRE function is not applied to tones on Wave
Expansion Boards.

MEMO
With the Jazz Scat tone, you can also switch scat variations using the key
touch when TIMBRE is selected.
In this case, even when you play using the same key touch, different
variations of the scat sound will be played depending on whether the
expression pedal is fully depressed or completely released. In other words,
you can control sounds using both the key touch and the expression pedal,
and play an even greater number of scat variations.
Value Explanation
OFF Key touch can be used to alter the strength of the sound. You can use
the expression pedal to adjust the volume.
FADE Key touch can be used to alter the strength of the sound. Pressing the
expression pedal forward allows you to produce sharp increases in
volume.
TIMBRE The strength of the sound does not change rapidly in response to the
key touch. The expression pedal changes the strength of the sound.
NOTE
TIMBRE is not functional
with Wave Expansion
Board tones.
