Keyboard/Ensemble: Keyboard Control

Keyboard/Ensemble: Keyboard Control
This page lets you enable/disable the Damper and Expression
pedals, plus the Joystick, for each of the Upper Keyboard tracks.
Damper
On
When you press the Damper pedal and release
the keys, the track's sound is kept sustained.
Off
The Damper pedal is not active on any track set
to this status.
Joystick X
This enables/disables the left/right movement of the Joystick
(Pitch Bend, and sometimes a Sound parameter's control; for
Pitch Bend settings, see "Mixer/Tuning: Tuning" on page 22).
Joystick Y
This enables/disables the front/rear movement of the Joystick
(Y+: Modulation, and sometimes a different Sound parameter's
control; Y-: Various controls, or non-active).
Expression
This parameter allows you to switch the Expression control on/
off on each individual Keyboard track. The Expression control is
a relative level control, always subtracted from the Volume value
of the track.
As an example, imagine you have a Piano sound assigned to
Upper 1, and a Strings sound assigned to Upper 2. If you turn
the Expression switch on on Upper 2, and off on Upper 1, you
can use a continuous pedal to control only the Strings' volume,
while the Piano remains unchanged.
To program a pedal or Assignable Slider to act as an Expression
control, see "Controllers: Foot Controllers" on page 146. You can
only assign this function to a volume-type pedal, not to a switch-
type one. Assign the "KB Expression" option to the pedal or
Assignable Slider, then select Write Global-Global Setup from
the page menu to save the setting to the Global.
Play/Mute icon
Track's play/mute status.
Play status. The track can be heard.
Mute status. The track cannot be heard.

each of the four PAD buttons.

SongBook entry. The Pads share the FX A group with the Style

panel of the main page.
Note: Each Style or SongBook entry can change the Pad assign-
ment.
