the D Beam Controller to
Apply Effects
(D Beam Controller)
The D Beam Controller is an easy-to-use controller you can
operate just by moving your hand over it. By changing the
function assigned to the controller, you can add a variety of
different effects to the sound. The controller lets you add
effects such as instantaneous changes in tone that are
impossible to do with knobs and sliders.
The D Beam Controller is provided under license from
Interactive Light, Inc.
When selecting a Single Performance, the effect is
applied to the single specified Part (current Part). When
a Layer Performance is selected, the effect is applied to
all Zones with Local switches set to ON and their linked
Parts.
Tone changes made with the D Beam controller can also
be sent to an external MIDI device (p. 59).
1. Make sure that the PLAY page of the sound generator
mode (PERFORM, PATCH, RHYTHM, or GM) is
