SUB section
The MP10’s SUB section features nine additional ‘subsidiary’ sounds arranged into STRINGS, PAD, and OTHERS
categories. These sounds are suitable for layering with PIANO or E.PIANO section sounds, but can of course be
played independently if desired.

„ SUB section EFX limitations
As noted in the Introduction chapter (page 17), the PIANO section and SUB section share one EFX module. When the EFX for the PIANO
and SUB sections are both turned ON simultaneously, the PIANO section’s EFX parameters will have priority.
In this case, the EFX page of the SUB section’s EDIT Menu will be temporarily disabled, and the LED indicator for the SUB section’s EFX
button will also turn green.
