Creating Original Sounds via the Knobs

The two knobs can be used to add variations to the sound being played, transforming
the sound in a variety of musical ways. Select the desired pre-programmed function
combination printed above the knobs, then rotate the knobs as you play, for an expres-
sive, dynamic performance.

NOTE
• Only selecting a function combination will not affect the sound
even if the knob arrow is not at the center position. The
selected function only works when the knob is moved.
• Depending on the panel settings or how you move the knob,
you may not notice any change to the parameter value, or you
may hear a noise, or the knob may not work properly, even if
you rotate it.

trolled with the knobs. The current target is shown in

• After selecting z, x or c by pressing the [KNOB
ASSIGN] button, changing the Voice will replace the
settings created 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.
