Setting the Transposition for Each
Individual Part (Key Transpose)

You can perform with each part transposed to a different
pitch.

When the Keyboard Mode is Layer, you can create a richer
sound by setting the two Tones to different octaves. Also, if
the Keyboard Mode is set to Split and you are playing a bass
Tone in the lower Part, you can use the Key Shift function to
play the bass at a lower pitch.

Setting the Range for the Change in
Pitch with the Bender (Bend Range)

This sets the amount of pitch change that will occur when
you move the Pitch Bend lever (+/- 4 octaves).

Changing Tone Elements
(ATK/REL/COF/RES)

You can make changes in tones by adjusting the settings of
the following four elements.

ATK (Attack Time):

The time it takes after the key is pressed for a sound to reach
full volume.

REL (Release Time):

The time it takes after the key is released for a sound to
become inaudible.

COF (Cutoff):

Adjusts how much the filter is opened.

RES (Resonance):

This boosts the portions in the region around the cutoff
frequency, lending a particular quality to the sound.
Excessively high settings can produce oscillation, causing the
sound to distort.
