Change tonal color.
Moving the Knobs changes various aspects of the
Voice's sound in real time—while you play.
When one of the TONE 1, TONE 2 or ARP FX lamps are
lit, the eight Knobs are used to control the
corresponding functions as printed on the panel (the
same as in the Voice mode). For details, see page 90.
When one of the REVERB, CHORUS or PAN lamps are
lit, the following functions are assigned to the four
leftmost Knobs.
Active lamp Functions of the left four knobs
REVERB Adjusts the reverb depth for Parts 1 – 4
CHORUS Adjusts the chorus depth for Parts 1 – 4
PAN Adjusts the pan position for Parts 1 – 4
n If the [E] (Edit) indicator appears at the top right of the
display when you adjust the Knobs, the current
Performance can be stored (page 142) as a new User
Performance.
