Zone On/Off Buttons; Mode Buttons - Kurzweil Artis SE Musician's Manual

Features of the Artis SE

Mode Buttons

In Multi Mode the FILTER-FX switch functions as a "shift" button, changing the slider
functions when activated. When the FILTER-FX switch is disabled the sliders control the
volume for each Zone. When the FILTER-FX switch is enabled, the sliders control filters,
FX, and other parameters. The assignment of each slider can be changed in Multi Edit mode.
The sliders can also send MIDI continuous controller values to a computer or external MIDI
equipment.
In Program Mode the FILTER-FX switch is always active. In most Programs the Sliders
labeled Filter-A and Filter-B are assigned to control a filter or EQ parameter in order to
control brightness. Slider FX-D controls reverb amount, while Slider FX-C usually controls a
second effect such as delay/echo amount.
If you select a KB3 Program, the four sliders act like tonewheel organ drawbars. For KB3
Programs, the sliders operate in a similar way to a Hammond organ, i.e. pulling the slider
towards you increases the drawbar amount.
For standard Programs the sliders have the minimum value when they are towards the player
and maximum value when they are pushed away from the player.
