Zone Mute/Volume Buttons
Zones are the independent regions of the keyboard that make up a Multi, for additional
information see About Zones on page 7-6.
Pressing a Zone button will mute or unmute the Zone. An active/unmuted Zone button has
a lit green LED. The LED of an inactive/muted Zone button is not lit.
Switches
In Program Mode, the five Switch buttons are pre-assigned to change the sound in different
ways, for example enabling layers or effects.
In Multi Mode, you can assign the Switch buttons to control Program and effects
parameters, or send MIDI CC messages to external equipment.
The Switch Button LEDs illuminate red when the switch is active.
Foot Switches and Controllers
The Artis has sophisticated Pedal controller options allowing up to 4 Switch Pedals or up to
2 Half Damper Pedals as well as a Continous Controller Pedal to be connected. By default
the Switch Pedals control SW1a - Sustain, SW1b - Sostenuto, SW2a - Sostenuto and SW2b -
Soft. The CC Pedal control expression by default.
All of these Pedals can be reassigned in Global Mode to a range of different parameters,
that will work in Program Mode and act as defaults in Multi Mode.
KB3 Buttons
For KB3 Programs, these buttons manipulate the KB3 sound, as per the blue labels below
the button. When the LED of the button is red, the KB3 function is active.
