• The portamento effect can also be turned ON or OFF
using an optional FC-4 or FC-5 foot pedal once the
portamento function has been turned on in the " FULL
TIME PORTA" mode. Pressing the foot pedal turns the
effect ON. The effect is OFF when the foot pedal is
released.
The portamento effect cannot be turned ON or OFF
in the "FINGERED PORTA" mode.
• An FC-4 or FC-5 foot pedal can also be connected for
sustain pedal control. In the monophonic mode, a key
pressed while another key is held will take priority, and
the sustain effect will apply to the new key .
Releasing the pedal turns the sustain effect OFF.

SAVE /VERIFY LOAD LOAD SINGLE REMOTE
CASSETTE
These keys permit saving all 20 internal memory voices to
an external cassette tape, or loading 20 voices or a specified
single voice from an external cassette tape.
SAVE/VERIFY, LOAD, LOAD SING LE, and REMOT E
keys are provided. Refer to the STO RE/SAVE/ LOAD
instructions on page 17.
SAVE/VERIFY:
The SAVE function saves all 20 voices in the internal
memory to an external cassette tape, while the V ER IFY
function checks to make sure that all the voices were prop-
erly saved.
Pressing the

SAVE/VERIFY
I
key repeated ly alternates
between the "SAVE TO TAPE?" and "VERIFY T A PE ?"
displays.
LOAD :
This key permits loading 20 voices at a time from an
external cassette tape into the internal memory.
LOAD SI NG LE:
This key permits loading a specif ied single voice from a
group of voices previously saved on a cassette tape. The
number of the voice in the group from which the desired
voice will be loaded must be specified (1 - 20).
REM OTE:
This key permits remote control of cassette recorders that
have a REMOTE terminal. Normal ly when the cassette
recorder's remote terminal is connected to the DX9, the
tape will not run until! either the LOAD or SAVE f unction
is initiated even if the Play or Record controls are engaged.
The REMOTE function makes it possible to sta rt or stop
the tape to facilitate locating the beginning of vo ice groupes,
etc.

BREATH CONTROL
The modulation wheel or breath controller can be used to
control LFO modulation depth applied to pitch, amplitude
or envelope producing controllable tremolo or vibrato
effects while playing. Setting the RANG E, PITCH, AM-
PLITUDE and ENVE LOPE GENERATOR BIAS para-
meters for each controller is basically the same process, so
we'll concentrate mainly on the MODULAT ION wheel.
Since LFO modulation is the effect in question, the voice
used must have non-zero set for PITC H and/or AMP LI -
TUDE MODULATION SENS IT IVITY parameters in the
EDIT mode.
Refer to the MODULAT ION SENSITIVITY section on
page 13 for details.
1. MODULATION WHEEL
To add modulation effects
RANGE :
Range can be set from 0 to 99. No effect is produced with
a 0 setting, and a setting of 99 produces maximum effect.
PITCH:
Determines whether LFO modulation is applied to pitch.
Pitch is modulated if ON, and not modulated if OFF .
AMPLITUDE:
Determines whether LFO modu lation is app lied to amp li-
tude . Amplitude is modulated if ON, and not modulated
if OFF.
