SAVE/VERIFY:
The
SAVE
function
saves
all
20
voices
in

voices
at a
time
from an
external cassette tape into the
internal
memory.
LOAD
SINGLE:
This key permits loading
a
specified single

BREATH CONTROL
The
modulation wheel
or breath controller can be used
to
control
LEO
modulation depth
applied to
pitch,
amplitude
or
envelope producing
controllable tremolo
or vibrato
effects
while
playing. Setting the
RANGE,
PITCH,

and
ENVELOPE GENERATOR

para-
meters
for each controller
is
basically the
same
process, so
we'll
concentrate mainly on
the
MODULATION
wheel.
Since
LFO
modulation
is
the
effect
in
question, the voice
used must
have non-zero
set for
PITCH
and/or
AMPLI-
TUDE MODULATION
SENSITIVITY
parameters
in
the
EDIT
mode.
Refer
to
the
MODULATION
SENSITIVITY
section
on
page 13 for
details.

MODULATIONWHEEL
To add modulation
effects
RANGE:
Range can be
set
from
to 99.
No
effect
is
produced
with
a 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
modulation
is
applied to ampli-
tude.
Amplitude
is
modulated
If
ON, and
not
modulated
if
OFF.
