You can use a pedal, the bender, or other devices, to instantly
change the pitch and volume of notes, the envelope, and
other parameters as you perform.
A pedal operation can be used to sustain notes, arpeggios
(page E-40), or phrases (page E-45), or to apply a soft effect.
• For information about connecting a pedal, see page E-8.
• You can specify the effect applied by a pedal operation by
performing the following operation on the performance
editing list: Controller >Ent 3 Pedal. See page E-74 for
more information.
The
bt
BENDER wheel can be use to seamlessly raise or
lower the pitch of a sound, while the
bt
MODULATION wheel
adds vibrato (modulation effect) to the sound.
• Do not have a wheel rotated as you turn on Synthesizer
power.
• You can control the bend range of the
bt
BENDER wheel
by configuring the following settings on the performance
editing list: BendRngDwn, BendRngUp (page E-73).
The four
3
ASSIGNABLE KNOBS can be assigned
functions that enable instant adjustment of a sound attack
time and other envelope parameters (page E-21), volume,
and more.
• The following shows the knob functions for each Zone Part
1 tone category.
Solo Synthesizer tones (page E-23)
PCM melody tones (page E-30)
PCM drum tones (page E-31)
User Wave tones (page E-32)
The above functions show the abbreviated names used on
