Controllers
The top row of knob assignments control user-assignable parameters (P1 through P4). Move
a knob to see the assigned parameter and value in the LCD display. These assignments can be
adjusted in Program Edit Mode.
The bottom two rows of knob assignments perform the functions labeled on the front panel:
The FILTER 1 knob is usually assigned to filter frequency. The FILTER 2 knob is usually
assigned to filter resonance. These knobs may be assigned to different filter parameters for
each Program. Move a knob to see the assigned parameter and value in the LCD display.
The ATTACK knob is assigned to amplitude attack time (the time it takes for each note to
reach its full volume). When the ATTACK knob is set to a low value, the attack time will be
fast, and each note will quickly reach its full volume. When the ATTACK knob is set to a
high value, the attack time will be slow, and each note will slowly fade up to its full volume.
This can be useful for making acoustic instrument Programs sound like synth "pad" sounds.
The RELEASE knob is assigned to amplitude release time (the time it takes for each note
to fade to silence after a key is released). When the RELEASE knob is set to a low value,
the release time will be fast, and each note will quickly fade to silence. When the RELEASE
knob is set to a high value, the release time will be slow, and each note will slowly fade to
silence.
The FX 1 and FX 2 knob assignments vary for each Program. The knobs are usually
assigned to effects such as Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Tremolo, or Distortion. Move a knob
to see the assigned parameter and value in the LCD display. For most FX 1 and FX 2 knob
assignments, setting the knob to a low value will disable the effect, and setting the knob to a
high value will increase the amount of the effect that is heard.
The DELAY knob is assigned to Delay amount, which controls an echo effect. Setting the
knob to a low value will disable the effect, and setting the knob to a high value will increase
the amount of the effect that is heard. Tap the TAP TEMPO button at the desired rate to
change the delay time of the effect. You may be able to control additional Delay parameters
(such as feedback amount) by using Program Edit Mode to change the assignments of the
user-assignable parameters.
The REVERB knob is assigned to Reverb amount, which controls a reverb effect. Reverb
can give the impression of playing in a large room or concert hall. Setting the knob to a low
value will disable the effect, and setting the knob to a high value will increase the amount
of the effect that is heard. You may be able to control additional Reverb parameters (such as
Reverb Time) by using Program Edit Mode to change the assignments of the user-assignable
parameters.
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. Move a knob to see the assigned parameter and value in the
LCD display.
