will be reset to the values stored in the Program.

X–Y controller
The X–Y controller generates control changes when
you touch the display and move your finger (X–Y
mode), or records these movements as an X–Y motion,
letting you control the OSC1 and OSC2 volume
balance or modify the program or effect.
(In Combination mode and Sequencer mode, you can
adjust the volume balance between the Programs used
within the Combination or Song.)
Using the display to control the X–Y mode
1. Press the X–Y MODE switch.
When you turn on the X–Y MODE switch, the switch
LED will light, and the display will change color.
When the X–Y MODE switch is on, you won’t be
able to select parameters in the display. Turn this
switch off if you want to use the display to edit
settings.
2. Slide your finger over the display to modify the
sound.
3. If you turn on the HOLD switch (the LED will
light) and remove your finger, the effect at that
position will be maintained. If the HOLD switch
is off, the point will return to the center value (no
effect) when you remove your finger.
Note: You can use a foot switch to turn the X–Y MODE
switch on/off. Set Foot Switch Assign to X–Y MODE.
For details, please see “Assigning the footswitch to
Program Up/Down” on page 39.
