In Sound mode, the top line of the screen displays the currently selected mode, current sound,
transpose status, MIDI in/out activity, auto power off and tempo information. The column on the
left shows the list of Sound Categories and the column on the right displays the presets within the
given category. The display is a touch screen and most operations can be selected and changed
with a simple touch.

3. Controllers

The SP7 Grand offers a variety of physical controllers that can be used to enhance one's musical
performance by varying an instrument's characteristics in real-time.
Controllers include knobs, buttons, X/Y joystick and pedals.

3-1 X/Y Joystick

The joystick is a multi-purpose up/down/left/right XY programmable controller that allows you to
control various functions and FX while performing. By default the x-axis controls pitch and the
y-axis controls modulation.

3-2 Transpose Button

Use the Transpose buttons to play in different musical keys. Each press of the + button raises the
key by one semitone (half step). Conversely, each press of the - button lowers the key by one
semitone.
Press both buttons at the same time to return to the non-transposed state of 0.
