ADJUSTING THE VOLUME
Use the [VOLUME] knob in the PIANO or ENSEMBLE
Section to adjust the volume of the selected Section. For this
example, use the [VOLUME] knob in the PIANO Section.
NOTE: You can also adjust the volume of the PIANO and ENSEMBLE
Sections in the PLAY screen by moving the cursor to “VOL”
(right side of screen) and using the [VALUE] knob.
NOTE: The MANUAL feature is explained in more detail on page
29.
CHANGING THE OCTAVE
To change the Octave of the entire UPPER Keyboard (all
Sections), press the OCTAVE [UP] or [DOWN] button. Th
e
display will show the current Octave setting.
NOTE: You can select from “-2” (up to two octaves down) through
“+2” (up to two octaves up).
To change the Octave for the PIANO Section only, use the
DIRECTION buttons to move the cursor to “PLAY Mode
- PIANO Section - OCTAVE” and use the [VALUE] knob to
change the Octave. Th
e display will show the current Octave
setting.
NOTE: You can select “-2” (up to two octaves down) through +2” (up
to two octaves up).
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PIANO AND ENSEMBLE
The PIANO and ENSEMBLE Sections contain the same voices;
however, to make registration of certain types of sounds easier, the
inbuilt voices are separated into PIANO and ENSEMBLE Sections.
The PIANO Section consists of Category buttons appropriate for
keyboard and other Percussion voices, while the ENSEMBLE Section
consists of voices such as Strings, Choir, Wind instruments, Synth
voices and other primarily instrumental and vocal sounds. However,
all inbuilt voices can be played from either the PIANO or ENSEMBLE
Categories - if desired, the PIANO Section can play Strings, the
ENSEMBLE Category can play Electric Piano, and so on.
ADJUST THE VELOCITY SENSITIVITY
Use the DIRECTION buttons to move the cursor to “VEL,”
and use the [VALUE] knob to select the Velocity Curve. Th
e
setting range is “Off ” and “1” to “4.”
“Off ” is standard organ touch - the notes sound at the same
volume regardless of a light or heavy key pressure. “1” is the
most exaggerated velocity curve while “4” is a gentler curve. “2”
and “3” are curves in between.
NOTE: The Velocity setting will vary from Patch to Patch.
