3. LENGTH
Adjusts the length of the arpeggiator pattern and the step
sequencer's sequence.
4. SWING
Adjusts the pattern of the arpeggiator or drum track, or the
shuffle feel of the sequence played by the step sequencer.
5. DRUM SD
Changes the pattern of the drum track, or the snare drum
sound used in the sequence played by the step sequencer.
6. TEMPO
Adjusts the overall tempo. The tempo setting will control the
following.
• Arpeggiator
• Drum Track
• Step sequencer
• Songs in SEQUENCER mode
• Tempo sync LFO
• Tempo sync (BPM) delay effects
USER
This lets you control the functions set for each program and
combination. (see "Assigning functions to RT control knobs
1–6" on page 33)
8. DYNAMICS
DYNAMICS button and knob
Pressing the button to turn DYNAMICS ON (the button will
light) will activate the knob.
This adjusts how the volume and tone will be changed in
response to how hard the keys are played (velocity) on this
keyboard.
Turning the knob to the left will cause the sound to play
softer in response to the strength of the keys played.
This is good for playing highly inflected passages from
pianissimo (very soft) to fortissimo (very loud), such as solo
piano or in band ensembles.
Turning the knob to the right will cause the sound to play
louder in response to the strength of the keys played.
This is good for generally making your sound stand out
when playing backing parts in a band ensemble, or when
playing a solo.
The sound will not change when the knob is in center
position.
For layered and split sounds, the dynamics effect will be
applied to both sounds.
Note: The effect controlled may differ, depending on the
program. The dynamics will have no effect on programs that
do not change in volume or tone with velocity, such as organ
sounds or some synth sounds.
Note: The dynamics settings can only be saved in a set list.
When in SET LIST mode, the values saved in each slot will
be used. When in a mode other than Set List, the front panel
settings (these are off when the power is turned on) will be
used.
Note: The effect will be applied to the velocity curve
(→p.172) that is selected.

9. Arpeggiator (ARP)
LATCH button
When latch is turned on, the arpeggiator will keep generating
patterns and phrases, even after you stop playing the
keyboard and take your hands off, or after a MIDI note
on/off message is received.
ARP button
Switches the arpeggiator function on/off. The button's LED
will light when this is on.
DRUM button
Switches the drum function on/off. The drums operate as
either a drum track or as a step sequencer, depending on the
current scene selected. When this is on, the button will light
and the drum track pattern will start playing. If the button is
blinking when the drum function is on, the drum track
pattern will enter standby mode. The drum track pattern will
start when you play the keyboard or a MIDI note-on is
received. (see page 158)
TAP button
This button lets you enter tempos simply by tapping your
finger on the button. Two taps are enough to change the
tempo; for greater accuracy, you can continue tapping, and
the tempo will be averaged over the most recent 16 taps.
You can use the tap feature to change the ARP and other
tempo settings in PROGRAM, COMBINATION and
SEQUENCER modes. In SEQUENCER mode, you can use
this to control the song's tempo.
Lightly tap the TAP button several times at the desired
tempo during playback. The tempo will change in real time
to follow your taps. This is a convenient way to adjust the
playback tempo to a different speed in real time.
Note: You can also tap tempos using a foot switch. For more
information, see "Foot Switch Assignments" on page 919 of
the PG.
Note: If "MIDI Clock" (GLOBAL) is set to "External
MIDI" or "External USB", or if it is set to "Auto MIDI" or
"Auto USB" and a MIDI clock is currently being received,
the TAP button will not have any effect.
Press the TAP button while holding down the SHIFT button
to hear the click sound.
Note: You cannot use this operation to turn the click on/off
when you are in SEQUENCER mode.
