] LEFT HOLD This function causes the LEFT part Voice to
be held even when the keys are released. Non-
decaying Voices such as strings are held
continuously, while decay-type Voices such as
piano decay more slowly (as if the damper
pedal has been pressed). When the Left Hold
is ON, an "H" indication appears in the Main
display.
] MONO/POLY This determines whether the part's Voice is
played monophonically (only one note at a
time) or polyphonically. Using the MONO
mode lets you play single, lead sounds (such
as brass instruments) more realistically. It also
lets you expressively control the Portamento
effect (depending on the selected Voice) by
playing legato.
] DSP With the digital effects built into the
instrument, you can add ambience and depth

included.
• The DSP switch is used to turn the DSP
(Digital Signal Processor) effect on or off
for the currently selected keyboard part.
• The DSP Variation switch is used to change
between variations of the DSP effect. You
could use this while you play, for example,
to change the rotating speed (slow/fast) of
the rotary speaker effect.

effects are applied to the right-hand Voices
