GETTING STARTED GUIDE
EQ
The EQ button and knobs control the master effects that are applied to the audio outputs.
Display and Soft Buttons
The 240 x 64 monochrome LCD display provides the main user interface for the Artis.
The buttons immediately below the display are the soft buttons and their functions change
depending upon what screen is displayed. The functions of the soft buttons on each screen
are described in the bottom row of the display.

Sliders and Buttons

In Program Mode, the sliders and buttons are used to control various Program parameters (the
last four sliders and buttons are typically used for controlling effects). When KB3 Programs
are being played, the sliders and buttons control organ functions labeled in blue. In Multi
Mode, the first four sliders and buttons control Multi Zone volumes and Zone Mutes.

Sound Select

The Sound Select section allows you to quickly and easily get access to sounds in either
Program or Multi Modes. You select the Category of sound you want, then via the Program /
Multi select any of the 16 sounds in that Category.

Favorites Buttons

The Favorites buttons can be programmed to immediately take you to your Favorite programs
and Multis. To assign the currently selected Program or Multi to a Favorites button, press and
hold the desired Favorites button for a few seconds until the display indicates that the favorite
has been saved.

Transpose Buttons

The Transpose buttons can be used to change the tuning of notes played on the Artis keyboard
in semitones (ST), also known as half steps.

Variation Button

The Variation Button is a MIDI controller (default MIDI CC#29) that is programmed in most
Programs to modify the sound, such as adding a pad sound, changing the effects or some
other variation suited to changing with a switch.
For KB3 programs, the Variation Button controls the Rotary Speaker speed, switching between
fast and slow.
