The sustain effect, selectable for each Voice section, causes Voices to gradually fade out
when the keys are released. The sustain on/off and sustain length settings are
independent for each keyboard, providing maximum expressive control.
The Knee Lever can also be used to switch the sustain on/off. Sustain cannot be applied
to the Lead Voices.
To add sustain to the Voices and call up the Sustain
Length page:
Press one of the SUSTAIN buttons, located to the left of the panel,
to set the sustain. The Sustain Length display appears.
The lamp of the button lights up to indicate that sustain is on. Press
the button again to turn sustain off and the lamp turns off. When
the lamp is off, sustain does not affect the corresponding keyboard.
Remember to check whether the sustain button lamps are on or off
before you start to play.
SUSTAIN LENGTH Display
To adjust the sustain length value, use the display slider. If you set the highest value
(HOLD), some Voices such as organ or synth will sound continuously even when the
keys are released.
Range: 0 – 12, HOLD
