Press the [WRITE] button to finalize the function assigned to the control
pedal.
The function assigned to the control pedal will be saved.
While the setting are being saved, the [1]–[8] buttons will blink.
Parameter
Controls the Glide function for the Oth-
er Tones. The pitch of the Other Tones
will change while the pedal is pressed,
and will gradually return to the original
pitch when the pedal is released.
Steps sequentially through the presets.
Each time the pedal is pressed, the next
registration will be selected.
The depth of overdrive will be con-
trolled. This is especially effective when
assigned to the expression pedal.
Select this when you want to use the ex-
pression pedal to control the volume of
the Other Tones.
While this function is being used, the ex-
pression pedal connected to the EX-
PRESSION PEDAL jack will affect only
the volume of the organ.
The same function that is assigned to the
D BEAM controller will also be assigned
to the control pedal. When you change
the function that is assigned to the D
BEAM controller, the function that is as-
signed to the control pedal will also
change.
Parameter
As you depress the pedal connected to
the EXPRESSION PEDAL jack, the vol-
ume of all harmonic bars will gradually
become louder. When the pedal is fully
depressed, the volume will be as speci-
fied by the harmonic bars, and the rota-
ry will be in the FAST state. As you
return the pedal toward yourself, the
volume will decrease, and when the ex-
pression pedal is returned all the way
toward yourself, there will be no sound.
When you depress the pedal, the ring
modulator (p. 35) will be applied. The
depth to which you depress the pedal
will control the depth of the ring modu-
lator.
The wheel brake will be applied (p. 35).
This lets you produce the sound of a
spring reverb unit being jarred (p. 35).

Playing the Organ
NOTE
When the "SPRING SHOCK"
function is assigned to the D
Beam controller or the control
pedal, please be aware that
raising the reverb level
excessively will produce a
high-volume impact sound. If
you want to reduce the volume
of the impact sound, use the
[REVERB] knob to adjust the
reverb level (p. 37).
If you press the VIBRATO
AND CHORUS [ON] button,
the setting will return to its
initial value.
NOTE
Never turn off the power while
the setting are being saved.
