The 9000Pro "Functions"
The 9000Pro "Functions"
G INITIAL TOUCH
With this function, the 9000Pro senses how strongly or softly you play the keys, and uses that
playing strength to affect the sound in various ways, depending on the selected voice. This
allows you to play with greater expressiveness and add effects with your playing technique.
Select the desired sensitivity curve
(listed at right).
G AFTER TOUCH
With this function, the 9000Pro senses how much pressure you apply to the keys while play-
ing, and uses that pressure to affect the sound in various ways, depending on the selected
voice. This allows you to play with greater expressiveness and add effects with your playing
technique.
Select the desired sensitivity curve
listed at the right side.
G TRANSPOSE ASSIGN
This determines the function of the [TRANSPOSE] buttons (page 61).
When set to "KEYBOARD" (default), the buttons transpose only the keyboard sound.
When set to "SONG," the buttons transpose only the song playback.
When set to "MASTER," the buttons transpose the overall pitch of the 9000Pro.
