Adding articulation effects by the [ART. 1]–[ART. 3] buttons
When you select a Super Articulation Voice, the [ART. 1]/[ART. 2]/[ART. 3] buttons may light in blue. Pressing a lit but-
ton adds the effect (buttons not lit have no effect).
Below are three examples of Super Articulation Effects by the buttons.
 Example 1
Pressing the available [ART] button triggers different playing effects and techniques, separate from your keyboard play-
ing.
For example, pressing the [ART] button for a S.Art saxophone Voice can produce breath noise or key noise, while doing
the same for a S.Art guitar Voice can produce fret noise or body-tapping sound. You can effectively intersperse these into
the notes as you play.
While the articulation effect sounds, the button lights in red.
 Example 2
Playing the keyboard while holding down the available [ART] button changes the nature of the Voice.
For example, in the case of the NylonGuitar Voice in A.GUITAR category, holding down the [ART. 1] button lets you
play harmonics for the guitar Voice. Releasing the button returns the Voice to normal.
The button lights in red while it is being held down.

 Example 3
When an S.Art2 Voice is selected, pressing the available [ART] button and playing/releasing a note enables you to add
articulation effects, such as bend up/down, glissando up/down, brass fall, etc.
When you press the available [ART] button, it will flash in red until the effect is finished playing. You can cancel by
pressing the button again while it flashes. Immediately after you press/release the note and articulation effect sounds, the
button lights in red.
