9 Knob Mode Buttons

These two buttons determine the function of the FS1R's four controller
knobs. When the upper button is lit, the knobs directly affect the FS1R
sound by controlling the parameters listed above the knobs: ATTACK,
RELEASE, FORMANT, and FM. When the lower button is lit the knobs
control the parameters assigned to KN1 through KN4 in the
UTILITY/SYSTEM/Control mode (page 74). When both buttons are
disengaged and the PART ASSIGN mode is selected, the knobs can
be used to edit the currently selected parameter for all 4 performance
parts (page 24). When both Knob Mode Buttons are disengaged, the
knobs can be used to quickly select parts or operators and edit the
corresponding values (page 28).

) Controller Knobs

These four multi-function controller knobs make realtime sound control
and editing on the FS1R easier than ever. In the PLAY mode they allow
direct realtime control of the sound as well as parameter editing, and
in the EDIT mode they can be used to directly change parameters and
values for fast, efficient operation. The knobs can be assigned to the
various parameters for exceptionally versatile control.
Press the [ENTER] button while operating the knobs for faster value
selection.

voice by specifying the appropriate bank and categories.
