Parameters Assigned To The Knobs - Yamaha PSR-E463 Owner's Manual

Parameters Assigned to the Knobs

This section describes each of the parameters which can be assigned to the Knobs (page 25).
z
CUTOFF/RESONANCE
These effects shape the sound by allowing only a
specified range of frequencies to pass and/or by pro-
ducing a resonance peak at the "cutoff" frequency.
These effects can be used to create a range of syn-
thesizer-like sounds.
NOTE
• When the target is KEYBOARD, these effects are applied to
the Main/Dual Voices. When the target is BACKING, these
effects are applied to the Styles and Grooves.
• These effects can sometimes cause distortion, especially in
the bass frequencies.
 Knob A: CUTOFF
Adjusts the cutoff frequency, and therefore the
brightness of the sound. Turning the knob to the
left makes the sound more muffled or darker, while
turning the knob A to the right makes the sound
brighter.
Level
Cutoff Frequency
Frequencies in this
range are passed.
 Knob B: RESONANCE
Adjusts the amount of Resonance applied at the
cutoff frequency. Turning the knob to the right
increases the Resonance to emphasize the fre-
quencies at the cutoff frequency, resulting in an
exaggerated peak.
Level
x
REVERB/CHORUS
 Knob A: REVERB
Reproduces the acoustic ambience of a concert
hall or club. Turning the knob to the right increases
the Reverb depth.
Frequency
Frequencies in this
range are cut off.
Resonance
Frequency
 Knob B: CHORUS
Produces a rich and warm layered effect. Turning
the knob to the right increases the Chorus depth.
NOTE
• When the target is KEYBOARD, these effects are applied to
the Main/Dual Voices. When the target is BACKING, these
effects are applied to the Styles and Grooves.
c
DSP
 Knob A/B: DSP PARAMETER A/B
With the digital effects built into the instrument, you
can add DSP effects to your keyboard performance
and the playback sound of Style, etc. (page 24).
Each effect has two parameters which are
assigned to Knobs A and B. By turning the knobs
in real-time, you can alter the music in various
dynamic ways, such as changing the rotating
speed (slow/fast) of the rotary speaker or changing
the degree of the Distortion.
v
ATTACK/RELEASE
These effects determine how the level of the sound
varies over time. You can make the attack faster for a
more percussive sound or slower for a violin-like
sound, for example. Or you can lengthen or shorten
the sustain to best match the music you're playing.
Level
ATTACK DECAY
Key Played
 Knob A: ATTACK
Adjusts the Attack Time (the amount of time it
takes the sound to reach maximum level when a
key is played). Turning the knob to the right
increases the Attack Time, thus slowing down the
attack rate.
 Knob B: RELEASE
Adjusts the Release Time (the amount of time it
takes for the sound to decay to silence after a key
is released). Turning the knob to the right
increases the Release Time, thus making a longer
sustain.
NOTE
• These effects are applied only KEYBOARD. The target can-
not be switched to BACKING.
