) NUMERIC KEYPAD
The NUMERIC KEYPAD is used in conjunction with the [ENTER/YES] and
[-/NO/QUICK PC] buttons and has several functions. In Performance
mode or Multi Play mode you can use it to select a specific Performance
or voice program number (page 24) as well as for selecting a program
number when the QUICK PROGRAM CHANGE function is active (page
41). In Edit mode you can use it to input positive or negative numeric data
values (page 42) or to select characters when naming a User Performance
(page 45).
! [-/NO/QUICK PC] button
This button has three functions. (1) As a [-] button you can use it to enter
negative data values in Edit mode (page 42). (2) As a [NO] button you can
use it to cancel a store operation if you change your mind (page 66). (3)
As a [QUICK PC] button you can use it to activate the QUICK PROGRAM
CHANGE function (page 41).
@ [ENTER/YES] button
This button is used as an [ENTER] button in conjunction with the
NUMERIC KEYPAD in order to enter a specific program number in Play
mode (page 24) or data value in Edit mode (page 42). It is used as a [YES]
button to confirm store operations (page 66).
# EDIT PARAMETER ROTARY
switch
In Performance mode this six-position switch lets you select one of the
two COMMON or four LAYER menus of parameters (page 41). In Multi
Play mode only the bottom menu of parameters are available, regardless
of the current position of the switch (page 57).
$ Parameter Value [UP/DOWN]
buttons
Used for accessing and editing specific panel parameters and settings,
each of these ten buttons corresponds to a parameter name printed on the
panel above or below a given [UP/DOWN] button. Press it once to enter
Edit mode and display the parameter screen in the LCD. Press the [▲]
area to increase and the [▼] area to decrease values. Holding down
either area will continuously scroll through available settings. In
Performance Edit mode, the position of the EDIT PARAMETER ROTARY
switch determines which COMMON or LAYER parameter is available for
each button. In Multi Part Edit mode, only the parameters printed directly
above the buttons are available. In Utility mode, only the parameters
printed directly below the buttons are available.
% [PERFORMANCE] button
Pressing this button activates Performance mode, which lets you select
any of the Preset or User Performances, use the SOUND CONTROL
knobs and SCENE functions, as well as activate the Arpeggiator and
COMMON and LAYER edit parameters. Press [PERFORMANCE] to enter
Performance mode from another mode, or to exit Edit mode and redisplay
the Performance Program Select screen after performing a panel edit
operation. (page 23.)
^ [MULTI] button
Pressing this button activates Multi Play mode, which lets you select and
play any of the 586 XG voices, as well as designate up to 16 Parts for
multitimbral play (when using an external sequencer). Parameters which
can be edited in Multi Play Edit mode are printed in a row directly above
the Parameter Value [UP/DOWN] buttons. (page 31.)
DEMO function
Pressing [PERFORMANCE] and [MULTI] simultaneously activates
the factory-programmed demonstration songs (page 14).

Pressing this button activates Utility mode, which lets you access those
“system” parameters that affect the CS2x as a whole, including MASTER
TUNE, MIDI TRANSMIT and RECEIVE CHANNEL numbers, keyboard
LOCAL on/off setting, etc., as printed directly below each Parameter
Value [UP/DOWN] button (page 61).
* [STORE] button
This button is used when performing User Performance, Scene and Multi
Store operations (page 66).
( PITCH wheel
This controller lets you bend the pitch up or down as you play. It is spring-
loaded to automatically return to center position when you let go of it. In
Performance mode you can determine the extent of pitch change using
the PITCH BEND RANGE edit function (page 45).
º MODULATION wheel
This controller lets you apply or set a designated amount of vibrato or
tremolo as you play. You can also set it to affect filter cutoff, filter
modulation, and pitch modulation (page 46) as well as other controllable
parameters (page 64). When the SCENE CONTROL function is active it
can be used to “morph” the sound in real-time between the two Scenes.

The 61-key touch-sensitive keyboard features Initial Touch (velocity)
control.
