How to adjust sound parameters for a single
Sound

Here is a quick example of the use of the Easy Sound Edit func-
tion.

1.

If needed, while in this page press TRACK SELECT to see
Keyboard tracks.

2.

Touch the “Select” button, in the display, corresponding to
the Upper 1 track.

3.

While playing on the keyboard to hear the Sound, select
the Cutoff knob, and use the VALUE DIAL to turn its value
completely off.

You’ll notice how the filter progressively cuts out high fre-
quencies, making the sound darker and mellower.

4.

Touch the Reset Track button in the display to recall the
original Cutoff value.

Keyboard/Ensemble: Key/Velocity Range

This page lets you program a key and dynamic (velocity) range
for each of the Keyboard tracks.

Key range is useful to create a set of Keyboard tracks playing in
different zones of the keyboard. For example, you may have
French Horns and Woodwinds playing in the center range of the
keyboard, while only Woodwinds play on the higher range.

Velocity range is useful to create a sound made of up to three
dynamic layers, assigning each of the Upper tracks to a different
dynamic range.

As an example, you may assign the El.Piano 1 Sound to the
Upper 1, and the El.Piano 2 Sound to the Upper 2 track. Then,
set Upper 1 to [Bottom=0, Top=80], and Upper 2 to [Bot-
tom=81, Top=127]. The El.Piano 1 will play when playing softer,
the El.Piano 2 when playing louder.
