General Guide

You can use controllers (pedals, wheels, knobs, and
sliders) to instantly change the pitch and volume of
notes, the envelope, and other parameters as you
perform (page E-34).

Two targets can be specified for a single controller.
For example, configuring the settings below would
make it possible to change the balance between
layers with a single slider.

Using a Pedal

You can configure a pedal so depressing it sustains a
tone, applies a softening effect, or to change parameters
assigned to the pedal.

The pedal can be configured so its on/off status
causes gradual increase or decrease of sound
volume. For more information, see “On Rate” and
“Off Rate” (page E-35).

You can specify the effect applied by selecting the
following in the Stage Setup Editable Parameters:
Pedal1-2 Edit > Ent. See page E-35 for more
information.

Using the Bender Wheel

The

1

(BENDER)

wheel can be configured so it

seamlessly raises or lowers the pitch of notes whenever
it is rotated.

1

(BENDER)

wheel operation can change pitch

only within the bend range.

You can configure the bend range of the

1

(BENDER)

wheel by configuring the following

settings in the Stage Setup Editable Parameters:
“Bend Range Down”, “Bend Range Up” (page E-32).
