Adjusting The Overall Volume Using An Expression Pedal - Roland Music ATELIER AT500 Owner's Manual

Adjusting the Overall Volume Using an Expression Pedal

You can use the expression pedal to adjust the overall volume. When you
depress the Expression Pedal, the volume increases. The volume decreases as
you tilt the pedal back.

Using the expression pedal enables you to give your performances even richer
musical expressiveness.
The expression pedal features the following special characteristics:
• Completely releasing the expression pedal does not lower the volume to
zero. If you do want to turn down the volume completely, set the [Master
Volume] slider to the Min (Minimum) position.
• Even as you release your foot from the expression pedal and lower the
volume, the lower-range portion will linger on. This provides a natural-
sounding resonance.
• When an Active Expression voice is selected, the expression pedal can be
used to produce changes in the voice (p. 59).
