1. Press a button to select the D Beam effect.
The button will light, and the D Beam effect will be selected.
Press the lit button a number of times until its light goes out; the D
beam will be turned off.
2. While you play, place your hand above the D Beam
controller and slowly move it up and down.
The effect will be applied when you move your hand near the D
Beam controller, and will return to its original state when you move
your hand away. The button will blink when the D Beam controller is
responding.
Effects applied to ensemble sounds
When you press a button, it will light red, and the D Beam effect will
be applied to ensemble sounds.
* For details on how to assign an ensemble sound, refer to “Playing
Organ Sounds and Ensemble Sounds Together (Layer)” (p. 29).
* The D Beam effect will apply to all ensemble sounds.
Effects applied to organ sounds
When you press a button twice, it will light green, and the D Beam
effect will be applied to organ sounds.
* The volume of the spring reverb shock sound can be adjusted by
the REVERB [LEVEL] knob. The spring shock will be more effective if
you choose “SPRING” as the reverb type (p. 44).

on the amount of light in the vicinity of the unit. If it does not
function as you expect, adjust the sensitivity as appropriate for
the brightness of your location (p. 54).
