NOTICE
• After selecting 1, 2 or 3 by pressing the [ASSIGN] but-
ton, changing the Voice will replace the settings cre-
ated via the knobs with the default settings of the new
Voice.
If you want to keep the settings you have created,
make sure to memorize it to Registration Memory

NOTE
• Rotating a knob to the right while the volume is set to a
high level may result in distortion. If this occurs, reduce
the volume level.
