Changing the Settings
You can specify how the sound is affected by the force of your breath (Breath Curve), the depth of reverberation (Reverb Level), and the type of
fingering (Fingering Type).

Side
keys
Value Explanation
Breath Curve “C3”
1 L2
Specifies how the sound responds to the force of your breath.
L2, L1
We recommend these settings if you’re a beginning wind
instrument player, or if you’re not confident of your lung
capacity. Fortissimo (ff) can be produced even by blowing
relatively softly.
M
This setting is the closest to the response of an actual wind
instrument.
H1, H2
We recommend these settings for sax players. Fortissimo (ff)
is produced only when you blow quite strongly.
2 L1
3 M
4 H1
5 H2
Reverb Level “Tc”
1 OFF
Adjusts the depth of reverb (the reverberation that is characteristic of a performance in a concert hall).
Higher values produce deeper reverberation; lower values produce shallower reverberation.

you inadvertently press the left or right side key.

The same “C D E F G A B C” fingering as a standard sax or recorder, with key combinations
that raise/lower the pitch by a semitone.
