Panel Edit Matrix
Although the features we’ve explained so far no doubt provide
you with a wealth of tone control and great music making
options, we’ve really only just begun to scratch the surface of the
CS2x’s power!
The panel edit matrix gives you six menus of Performance Edit
parameters with virtually limitless options for tone control and
customized User Performance creation using the EDIT
PARAMETER ROTARY switch in conjunction with the ten
parameter [UP/DOWN] buttons.
Each parameter is explained and available settings are listed in
the Reference section (starting on page 39). Reading through it —
along with just rolling up your sleeves and trying each one out
one-by-one — will end up making you a veritable CS2x expert!
For the sake of giving you a well-rounded tour right now without
getting in too deep, however, why not try experimenting with a
few basic COMMON and LAYER edit menus to help you get
comfortable dealing with collective and individual Performance
Layers.
■ COMMON Parameters
Each CS2x Performance is made up of anywhere between one
and four Layer voices. Changes you make to parameter settings
in the two COMMON menus will affect all Layer voices equally.
Try out the many different effects.
1. Set the EDIT PARAMETER ROTARY switch to the Common
Edit 1 menu.
2. Use the REV TYPE [UP/DOWN] button to try out the
different Reverb effect types. Use the CHO TYPE
[UP/DOWN] button to try out the different Chorus effect
types.

3. Use the VARI TYPE [UP/DOWN] button to try out the
different Variation effect types. Use the VARI PARAM
[UP/DOWN] button to select available Variation effect
parameters. Use the VARI DATA [UP/DOWN] button to
select specific parameter data value settings.
You can set the amount of Reverb and Chorus for each Layer
using the EFFECT REV SEND and CHO SEND parameters,
respectively, located in the Layer Edit 4 menu. When EFFECT
VARI SEND is set to “on”, however, Reverb and Chorus send
levels are applied equally to all Layers.
n For more information about effects, see page 70. Also see the
separate “Data List” book.
Customize the parameter of the ASSIGN 1/DATA knob.
1. Set the EDIT PARAMETER ROTARY switch to the Common
Edit 2 menu.
2. Use the ASSIGN1 PARAM [UP/DOWN] button to determine
which parameter will be affected by the ASSIGN 1/DATA
knob.
There are 30 choices in all. You could, for example, use it to
control Arpeggiator tempo, or left and right panning of the sound,
the overall pitch and much more.
n For a list of available parameters, see page 65.
■ LAYER Parameters
There are four menus of LAYER parameters which affect only the
currently selected Layer when you edit them. (Note that although
the PORTA SWITCH parameter is located in the Common Edit 2
menu, it is in fact a Layer parameter and therefore can be set for
each individual Layer voice.)
Select a Layer.
Press the PART/LAYER [-] and [+] buttons to select a desired
Layer.
