Voice Effects
The [VOICE EFFECT] buttons turn the corresponding effects on (indicator lit) or off
(indicator out).
● Touch
The keyboard of the 9000Pro is equipped with a touch response feature that lets you dynam-
ically and expressively control the level of the voices with your playing strength — just as on
an acoustic instrument.
Two types of keyboard touch affect this function: Initial Touch and After Touch.
• Initial Touch ..... With this function, the 9000Pro senses how strongly or softly you play
the keys, and uses that playing strength to affect the sound in various
ways, depending on the selected voice. This allows you to play with
greater expressiveness and add effects with your playing technique.
• After Touch ...... With this function, the 9000Pro senses how much pressure you apply to
the keys while playing, and uses that pressure to affect the sound in var-
ious ways, depending on the selected voice. This allows you to play with
greater expressiveness and add effects with your playing technique.
● Sustain
When this Sustain feature is ON, all notes played on the keyboard other than the Left part
have a longer sustain.
The Sustain level can be adjusted via the Custom Voice Creator function (page 99).
● DSP (4~7) and Slow/Fast
With the digital effects built into the 9000Pro you can add ambiance and depth to your music
in a variety of ways—such as adding reverb that makes you sound like you are playing in a
concert hall.
• The DSP (4~7) buttons turn independent effects on or off for the Right 1 (DSP4), Right
2 (DSP5), Right 3 (DSP6) and Left (DSP7) parts.
• The [SLOW/FAST] button can switch between variations of the DSP effect. For exam-
ple, this lets you change the rotating speed (slow/fast) of the rotary speaker effect.
● Harmony/Echo
See pages 35 and 164.
● Poly/Mono
This determines whether the part’s voice is played monophonically (only one note at a time)
or polyphonically (up to 126 notes at a time).
When this is set to “MONO,” the Portamento effect can be used (depending on the selected
voice) by playing legato. The degree of the Portamento effect applied differs depending on
the voice. The Portamento Time can be adjusted from the Mixing Console (page 145).
