Mode And Function Buttons - Kurzweil sp5-8 Service Manual

Introduction
Front Panel Features
Control sliders, Shift button and LEDs—These sliders can be assigned to send MIDI continuous
controller values. Each slider can control three separate functions giving you access to 15 MIDI
continuous controllers. Think of this as three rows of five sliders. Press the Shift button to select a
row of sliders. The lit LED above the Shift button indicates the active row.
While playing KB3 programs, the first nine sliders act like tonewheel organ drawbars. The
remaining six can perform other functions.
