we mentioned above (PITCH, and F1–F4). All of the DSP functions have at least one control
input, but many of them have two or even three inputs.
The parameters on the various control input pages are very similar; in fact, there are six
parameters that appear on almost every page. Consequently we refer to them as the common
DSP control parameters. Although the parameters on the control input pages differ slightly
from function to function, you can expect to see some or all of the common DSP control
parameters whenever you select the control input page for any of the DSP functions. They are:
Initial Setting Parameters
These have no input, but set the overall level for the function, the starting point from which the
other parameters modulate the function.
Coarse adjust (abbreviated "Coarse")
Fine adjust (Fine)
Hard-wired Parameters
These always take their input from your MIDI controller; the note number and the attack ve-
locity values of each Note On event.
Key tracking (KeyTrk)
Velocity tracking (VelTrk)
Programmable Parameters
These can accept any control source as their input, and have related parameters for further con-
trol.
Source 1 (Src1)
Source 2 (Src2)
Take a look at the PITCH page, as an example—we'll look at how these six control parameters
are used in the pitch control function. If you're not already on the PITCH page, you can get
there by pressing the soft button labeled PITCH. If you don't see PITCH on the bottom line of
the display, press one of the <more> buttons until it appears.

You'll recognize the common DSP control parameters, along with several other parameters.
Keep in mind that there's a set of common control parameters for each of the DSP functions; in
this case we're describing them only as they apply to the pitch control function.
Coarse Adjust
The Adjust parameter (sometimes coarse and fine adjust) is the fixed amount of adjustment you
add to any DSP function. On the PITCH page, the Coarse Adjust parameter will change the
pitch in semitone increments. Use this as a starting point to set the pitch where you want it to
be normally. This will shift the pitch of the currently selected layer, and will affect the playback
rate of sampled sounds. Sampled sounds have an upper limit on pitch adjustment. It's normal
for the pitches of sampled sounds to "pin" (stop getting higher) when you adjust the pitch
