Playing a SuperNATURAL Voice
When you play a SuperNATURAL voice, its tone quality will change appropriately when you play legato or staccato passages.
In addition, using the foot switches or D Beam while you perform can apply a variety of effects to the sound, making your performance expression
even richer and more realistic.
If you want to use the foot switches while performing, assign the foot switch functions (L Foot Switch, R Foot Switch) to “N.CONTROL 1” and
“N.CONTROL 2” (p. 93).
MEMO
If you want to use the foot switches, connect a pedalboard (PK series; sold separately) (p. 24).

Foot switch effects
Effect Explanation
Portamento, Glissando
These performance techniques continuously vary the pitch between two notes. The way in which notes are
connected will depend on the construction of the instrument.
Pizzicato
In this performance technique, the strings of the violin are plucked with the fingers rather than bowed with the
bow, producing sharply defined notes.
Ornament
This performance technique produces a rapid change in pitch at the beginning of the note, in a way that is
distinctive of that particular instrument.
Harmonics
This is a technique in which a string of the guitar is fingered lightly to sound an overtone. A pitch one octave
higher than the keyboard note will be heard.
Fall
This is the technique of rapidly lowering the pitch of a wind instrument while simultaneously producing a
decrescendo.
Growl This technique produces a powerful sound by simultaneously breathing and growling into a wind instrument.
Tremolo This is the technique of rapidly repeating a single note, or rapidly alternating between multiple notes.
