Parameter Value Description
Source REGIST, SYSTEM The assignments for the D beam can be stored individually in each
registration. When you select a diff erent registration, this setting specifi es
whether the D beam will be given the assignments stored in the registration
(REGIST), or the assignments stored in the system settings for the entire
VP-770 (SYSTEM).
DB1 Select
DB2 Select
DB3 Select FIX, ASGN When a D Beam button is on, this setting specifi es whether it will perform
the function printed on the panel (FIX) or the function assigned by the DB1

DB1 Asgn
DB2 Asgn
DB3 Asgn These settings specify the function that will be controlled by the D Beam
when DB1–3 Select is set to “ASGN.”
MOD Applies modulation.
DYN1 Changes the volume. Transmits MIDI message CC#2 (breath control) to the
sound generator section. This is the same operation as Voice Expression
(p. 66), and will operate only in the positive (+) direction to increase the
volume.
DYN2 Changes the volume. Transmits MIDI message CC#4 (foot control) to the
sound generator section. For STRINGS and BRASS sounds, this allows the
volume to be controlled in the ± directions (it will not go to zero). For other
sounds, the volume can be controlled only in the “+” direction.
EXP Changes the volume. Transmits MIDI message CC#11 (expression) to the
sound generator section. The volume is controlled in a range of 0–127.
FILTER Changes the tone.
WAH Applies a wah pedal eff ect to sounds that support Wah.
PIZZ/STAC Plays the pizzicato or staccato sound (only for supported tones).

PORT Applies a portamento eff ect.
PITCH Changes the pitch.
DB1 Range Lo
DB2 Range Lo
DB3 Range Lo 0–127 Specifi es the depth of the eff ect when the D Beam controller is not
responding. Increasing this value will apply an eff ect even if the D Beam
controller is not responding at all.
DB1 Range Hi
DB2 Range Hi
DB3 Range Hi 0–127 Specifi es the depth of the eff ect when the D Beam controller is responding
to its maximum extent. Reducing this value will reduce the amount of eff ect
produced by the D Beam controller.
