When playing edge shots with the CY-12R/C or CY-15R, use the BOW/EDGE output; for
bell shots, use the BOW/BELL output.
If making bell shots with the CY-12R/C or CY-15, select "rd2" or "rd5" as the bell
instrument.
With "rd1" or "rd4" selected for the RIDE bow (head) instrument, you can switch between the
bow shot sound or the bell shot sound according your playing velocity (how hard you hit).
