Playing and editing Programs
Joystick Lock
The joystick is spring-loaded, so that it automatically
returns to the center position when you let go.
However, you can use either of the two front-panel
switches (SW1 or SW2), or a foot-switch, to "lock" the
current position of the joystick. This leaves your hands
free to play on the keyboard, or to use other
controllers. For more information, please see "Using
the Lock function" on page 46.
Vector Joystick
The Vector Joystick lets you
control the volume balance
between OSC1 and OSC2,
and can also generate CC
messages to modulate
Program and effects
parameters.
In Combi and Sequence modes, the Vector Joystick can
do all of this, plus balance the volumes of the different
Programs in the Combi.
The Vector Joystick does all of this in conjunction with
the Vector Envelope, which is a flexible, multi-segment
envelope with a few interesting twists. For more
information, see "Using Vector Synthesis" on page 64.
Resetting the Vector Joystick to the center
You can use the front-panel RESET CONTROLS button
to reset the Vector Joystick to its default center
position. To do this:
1. Hold down the RESET CONTROLS button.
2. While holding RESET CONTROLS, move the
Vector Joystick.
3. Release the RESET CONTROLS button.
The joystick will now be reset to its center position.
Ribbon Controller
Move your finger to
the left and right on the
ribbon controller to
apply an effect.
Normally, this is used to control pitch, volume or filter
etc.
You can use the Lock function of SW1 or SW2 keys to
hold the effect even after you release your finger from
the ribbon controller. For more details, see "Using the
Lock function" on page 46.
SW1, SW2
You can use these buttons to
control program parameters
via AMS (Alternate
Modulation), or effect parameters via DMod (Dynamic
Modulation).
They can also transpose the keyboard by octaves, turn
portamento on/off, or lock the position of the ribbon
controller, joystick, or aftertouch.
46
Each button can work as either a Toggle or
Momentary switch. In Toggle mode, the assigned
function is switched between on and off each time the
key is pressed. In Momentary mode, the assigned
function is active on only as long as you hold down the
switch.
In Program mode, you can check the assignments of
SW1 and SW2 on the Play page Assignment tab.
When you write a Program or Combination, the on/off
status of the SW1 and SW2 keys is saved.
For more details, please see "Setting the functions of
SW1 and SW2" on page 180.
Using the Lock function
