Adjusting The Brightness Of The Sound; Adding Decay To The Sound (Damper Pedal) - Roland AT900 Music Atelier Owner's Manual

Adjusting the Brightness of the Sound

Using the [Brilliance] slider, you can adjust the brightness of the sound.
For a brighter sound, push the slider away from you. For a mellower sound,
pull the slider toward you.

You can adjust not only the treble range but the bass as well with the
[Brilliance] slider. You can suppress the lower frequencies by moving the
slider downwards.

Adding Decay to the Sound (Damper Pedal)

When you depress the Damper (Sustain) pedal, a decay effect will be added
to the voices.
While you continue depressing the damper pedal, notes will be sustained
even if you release the keys.

By default the decay effect will be applied to the voices played on the Lower
keyboard.
Using the Performance Functions
NOTE
This setting is not stored in the
Registration.
The explanation at left uses an
illustration of the AT-900.
You can modify the setting so
that decay is only applied to
notes played on the Upper
keyboard (p. 212).
NOTE
Decay cannot be added to the
Solo voices.
NOTE
Decay can be applied to Pedal
Bass voices played on the
Lower keyboard (when the
Pedal [To Lower] or [Bass Split]
button indicators are lit). In this
case, a decay will not be
applied to the pedal bass
voice.
You can connect a pedal
keyboard (PK series; sold
separately) to the AT-900C and
use the pedal keyboard's hold
pedal to sustain the sound.
