Control sliders
Changing the sounds
The Control sliders are a powerful live performance feature, in that they let you change the brightness and tonal
characteristics of the current Voice, Performance, or Multi in real time as you play. Moving a slider forward increases the
effect while pulling the slider back decreases it. The sliders can be used for different function "sets." You can select the
particular function set assigned to the sliders by pressing the appropriate Control function button (as shown below).

When pressing any of the Control function buttons, the lamp(s) of the buttons will light according to the above table and the
status of the Control sliders (currently assigned functions and set values) is shown on the LCD display. The appearance of
the slider in the display indicates the actual control status of the slider. When a slider graphic in the display is shown with a
shadow, the corresponding control slider on the panel affects the sound as indicated. A slider graphic without a shadow
indicates that the current Control slider position differs from the actual parameter value. In this case, moving the slider does
not affect the sound until the slider position reaches the parameter's current value (after which the slider graphic has a
shadow).
