Sustain
The sustain effect, selectable for the each Voice section, causes Voices to gradually fade
out when the keys are released. The sustain on/off and sustain length settings are
independent for each Voice section, providing maximum expressive control.
The optional Foot Pedal can also be used to switch sustain on/off for voice sections
other than Pedal Voice 1 and 2.
To add sustain to the Voices and call up the Sustain page:
Press the SUSTAIN button, located to the left of the panel, to set the sustain. The
Sustain display appears.
The Sustain display consists of two pages.
The display shows the on/off status and the current sustain length values for each Voice
section. The values here must be set high enough for the sustain effect to be noticeable.
Press the ON/OFF button in the display to select "ON" above the Voice section name
for which you want to apply sustain. To turn sustain off, press the same button a
second time to select "OFF".
To adjust the sustain length value, use the display sliders. If you set the highest value
(HOLD), some Voices such as organ or synth will sound continuously even when the
keys are released.
The lamp of the [SUSTAIN] button lights up when you turn on the Sustain effect for
one of the Voice sections in the Sustain display. When you turn off the Sustain effect
for all Voice sections in the Sustain display, the lamp turns off. Remember to check
whether the sustain effects are on or off in the Sustain display before you start to play.
