Using controllers to vary the sound
1. Notice the many controllers located on the left side
of the OASYS' front panel.
While you play the keyboard, you can also use the
group of controllers located at the far left–the joystick,
vector joystick, ribbon controller, and SW1/SW2
switches–to vary the sound.

Quick Start Playing Programs and Combinations
The result will differ for each Program or
Combination, so try them all out to see what each
controller does for the selected sound. For more
details, see "Using Controllers" on page 50.
2. Next, notice the mixer‐like arrangement of sliders,
knobs, and switches located at the right of these
controllers.
This is called the Control Surface. You'll use it in a
variety of ways, such as editing sounds, controlling
KARMA, mixing, or sending MIDI messages to
external devices.
Here we'll explain the how to use the control surface
for quick sound editing and controlling KARMA.
3. In the CONTROL ASSIGN section, press the
R.TIME KNOBS/KARMA button.
The button's LED will light. Now you can use the
knobs to modify the sounds and effects, and use the
sliders and switches to control KARMA.
You can use these controls regardless of the page
shown on the LCD display. However, there is a page
which provides more information about the Control
Surface assignments and values.
4. Go to the Control Surface page by pressing the
Control Surface tab, located in the lower right of
the LCD screen.
This page shows all of the Control Surface sliders,
knobs, and switches, along with their current
assignments and values. When you move a controller,
the corresponding object in the LCD screen will also
move.
Using knobs to modify the timbre
When the R.TIME KNOBS/KARMA button is lit, the
eight knobs at the top of the Control Surface control
various aspects of the sounds and effects.
Knobs 1‐4 have dedicated functions, as printed on the
front panel: Filter Cutoff, Filter Resonance, Filter EG
Intensity, and Release Time.
Knobs 5‐8 can be assigned to a wide variety of
functions. Often (but not always), knobs 5 and 6
modulate synthesis parameters, knob 7 controls the
depth of a chorus or other modulation effect, and knob
8 controls reverb depth.
For a detailed tutorial, see "Editing sounds & effects
with the Realtime Knobs" on page 57.
