pression pedal connected to the EX-
PRESSION PEDAL jack will affect only
the volume of the organ.
[8] D BEAM SYNC

signed to the control pedal will also
change.

[1] CRESCENDO
As you depress the pedal connected to
the EXPRESSION PEDAL jack, the vol-
ume of all harmonic bars will gradually
become louder. When the pedal is fully
depressed, the volume will be as speci-
fied by the harmonic bars, and the rota-
ry will be in the FAST state. As you
return the pedal toward yourself, the
volume will decrease, and when the ex-
pression pedal is returned all the way
toward yourself, there will be no sound.
[2] RING MODULATOR
When you depress the pedal, the ring
modulator (p. 35) will be applied. The
depth to which you depress the pedal
will control the depth of the ring modu-
lator.
[3] TONE WHEEL BRAKE The wheel brake will be applied (p. 35).
[4] SPRING SHOCK
This lets you produce the sound of a
spring reverb unit being jarred (p. 35).

NOTE
When the “SPRING SHOCK”
function is assigned to the D
Beam controller or the control
pedal, please be aware that
raising the reverb level
excessively will produce a
high-volume impact sound. If
you want to reduce the volume
of the impact sound, use the
[REVERB] knob to adjust the
reverb level (p. 37).
If you press the VIBRATO
AND CHORUS [ON] button,
the setting will return to its
initial value.
NOTE
Never turn off the power while
the setting are being saved.
