Selecting and Creating Tones

E-34

You can use a pedal, the bender, or other devices, to instantly
change the pitch and volume of notes, the envelope, and
other parameters as you perform.

A pedal operation can be used to sustain notes, arpeggios
(page E-40), or phrases (page E-45), or to apply a soft effect.

• For information about connecting a pedal, see page E-8.
• You can specify the effect applied by a pedal operation by

performing the following operation on the performance
editing list: Controller >Ent 3 Pedal. See page E-74 for
more information.

The

bt

BENDER wheel can be use to seamlessly raise or

lower the pitch of a sound, while the

bt

MODULATION wheel

adds vibrato (modulation effect) to the sound.

• Do not have a wheel rotated as you turn on Synthesizer

power.

• You can control the bend range of the

bt

BENDER wheel

by configuring the following settings on the performance
editing list: BendRngDwn, BendRngUp (page E-73).

The four

3

ASSIGNABLE KNOBS can be assigned

functions that enable instant adjustment of a sound attack
time and other envelope parameters (page E-21), volume,
and more.

• The following shows the knob functions for each Zone Part

1 tone category.

Solo Synthesizer tones (page E-23)

PCM melody tones (page E-30)

PCM drum tones (page E-31)

• In the performance mode, you can change the operations

currently assigned to the assignable knobs by performing
the following operation on the performance editing list
(page E-74):
Controller >Ent 3 K1 to K4.
