3. PEDAL ASSIGN (PEDAL)
The PEDAL jack on the instrument's rear panel accepts connection of an optionally available
damper pedal (such as the DP-2 or DP-6), or an expression pedal (such as the EV-5).
With a damper pedal connected, you obtain the "hold" effect when the pedal is depressed.
With sounds such as the piano which normally tend to decay rapidly, the hold effect causes
these sounds to decay more slowly than usual (much like the damper pedal on a piano). With
sounds such as the organ, which normally are sustained, the sound will continue sounding as
long as the pedal is depressed.
With an expression pedal connected, you can select the type of control you wish the pedal to
provide:
1 Expression
2 Bend Up
3 Bend Down
4 TVF Cut Off
5 Modulation
4. BENDER VELOCITY SENS-itivity (BEND)
When the Pitch Bend/Modulation feature is turned ON, the black key at the left end of the
keyboard function as a pitch bender (
pitch will change is altered depending on the amount of force you apply to the key. If you
increase the value for Bender Velocity Sens, a more rapid change in the pitch will occur. 1—5 is
the acceptable range.
5. MODULATION VELOCITY SENS-itivity (MODULATION)
When the Pitch Bend/Modulation feature is turned ON, the black key second from the left
provides control over modulation (
pitch will shift is altered depending on the amount of force you apply to the key. If you increase
the value for Modulation Velocity Sens, a more extensive change in the pitch will occur. 1—5 is
the acceptable range.
6. CHORUS MASTER LEVEL (CHO LEVEL)
This setting determines the overall extent to which the Chorus effect will be obtained. The
acceptable range is 0 to 127. If every Part has its individual Chorus Level (
maximum (127), then the amount of Chorus obtained with each Part will directly reflect the level
you set here.
7. REVERB MASTER LEVEL (REV LEVEL)
This setting determines the overall extent to which the Reverb effect will be obtained. The
acceptable range is 0 to 127. If every Part has its individual Reverb Level (
maximum (127), then the amount of Reverb obtained with each Part will directly reflect the
level you set here.
When you step on the pedal, the volume of the Part being played is increased.
When you step on the pedal, the pitch rises to the value set for Pitch Bend Range.
When you step on the pedal, the pitch is lowered to the value set for Pitch Bend Range.
When you step on the pedal, the sound takes on more 'presence' as a result of a rise in the
cut-off frequency.
When you step on the pedal you obtain the vibrato effect.
