Getting Started
The Front Panel
TRANSPOSE Buttons
The TRANSPOSE buttons can be used to change the tuning of notes played on the SP6
keyboard in semitones (also known as half steps). The current transpose amount is shown
in the LCD display (for example, the default is "Xp:0st"). Press both TRANSPOSE buttons
simultaneously to reset the transposition to 0.
PITCH WHEEL and MODULATION WHEEL
Use each wheel to respectively perform pitch bends or vary the modulation amount. The
MODULATION WHEEL will perform a pre-assigned modulation for each Program or
Multi. The name of the current assignment is shown in the LCD display when the wheel is
moved.
VARIATION Button
Pressing the VARIATION button will perform a pre-assigned variation for each Program or
Multi. The name of the current assignment is shown in the LCD display when the button is
pressed.
The VARIATION button has two states, off (not lit) and on (lit). The VARIATION button
will typically modify the sound by adding an orchestral string section or synth pad layer, or
enabling an effect.
For KB3 Organ Programs, the VARIATION button controls the Rotary Speaker speed,
changing between fast and slow. The LCD display shows "KB3" when a KB3 Program is
selected.
KNOBS
The KNOBS are used to control various Program and Multi parameters. Press the SHIFT
button to shift between 3 rows of 4 knob assignments.
In Program Mode: The top row of knob assignments control user-assignable parameters, and
the bottom two rows of knob assignments perform the functions labeled on the front panel.
The top row of user-assignable parameters can be adjusted in Program Edit Mode.
In Multi Mode: The top row of knob assignments control Multi Zone volumes, and the
bottom two rows of knob assignments perform the functions labeled on the front panel. For
the bottom two rows of KNOBS, value scaling and offset can be adjusted per Zone for each
knob in Multi Edit Mode. This allows each knob range to be adjusted or disabled per Zone.
In Program and Multi Mode: When a KB3 Organ Program is selected, some of the knobs
may perform Organ drawbar functions instead of the functions labeled on the front panel.
The LCD display shows "KB3" when a KB3 Program is selected.
