■ SCENE CONTROL Function
1. Press both [SCENE] buttons simultaneously.
The red LED to the left of both [SCENE] buttons will light to
indicate the SCENE CONTROL function is active.
2. Roll the MODULATION wheel forward and back to adjust
the relative levels of each Scene.
As shown in the illustration above, the position of the
MODULATION wheel determines the relative levels of each
Scene, with minimum controller position playing Scene 1 and
maximum position playing Scene 2. Any position between the
two extremes (between a range of 0 ~ 127) will play a blend of
both Scenes accordingly.
n You can also use a connected Foot Controller for SCENE
CONTROL (pages 12 and 64).
■ Creating And Storing Scenes
You can easily create your own Scenes with the SOUND
CONTROL knobs and store them in a Performance — either
temporarily in the Scene buffer for the currently selected Preset
or User Performance, or permanently in a User Performance. For
details, see page 67.
Maximum = Scene 2 only
Minimum = Scene 1 only

Halfway = Equal level of

Performance Editing And
Store
As a control synthesizer the CS2x features easy editing functions
which are readily available as you play, including SOUND
CONTROL knobs for direct tone modification, an Arpeggiator
with a wide selection of arpeggiated chord types and timing
resolutions, and many more. The next three steps on our tour are
actually Performance Edit functions and as such will cause the
edit mark (“E”) to appear in the LCD.
SOUND CONTROL Knobs
The SOUND CONTROL knobs give you direct access to eight
different parameters. All you have to do is turn them left and right
to either slightly or radically alter the tone. They’re so much fun,
you can literally get lost for hours at a time just tweaking the
filters and resonance settings alone — so go ahead and try them
all out!
The center stop position represents the original parameter settings
as stored in the selected Performance, so it only takes a glance at
the various knob positions to know where you stand. And don’t
forget, if you come up with a tone you like, you can store it in
one of the two Scene memories for instant recall (page 67).
A description of the default function assigned to each SOUND
CONTROL knob (printed on the panel below each knob) is
provided on page 19. You can also assign whatever parameters
you like to each knob using the panel edit matrix (page 64).
n When a Scene is selected or the SCENE CONTROL function
is active, turning the SOUND CONTROL knobs will have no
affect on the tone.
