Pedal Sustain
Th e SK PRO/SK PRO-73 incorporates a feature called Pedal Sustain . When this
feature is active, the Pedal tones will smoothly decay upon release, much in the manner
of a string bass.
Th
e Pedal Sustain is controlled from the INTERNAL ZONE FUNCTION Mode.
NOTE: The Parameters described on this page
are Combination Parameters, meaning that
diff erent settings can be Recorded to diff erent
Combinations.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “ALLOCATE”
AND “PEDAL TO LOWER”
Allocating a Voice Section to the LOWER Keyboard
using the [ALLOCATE] buttons causes the Voice
Section to play in the same manner as allocating it
to the UPPER Keyboard.
The PEDAL TO LOWER feature functions as a
“MANUAL BASS” - it assigns the PEDAL section to
the LOWER Keyboard; however if multiple notes
are played, the PEDAL section will sound only one
note.
You can select whether the PEDAL TO LOWER will
sound the lowest note depressed or the root note
of the chord you are holding, as well as adjust the
Low and High range of the PEDAL TO LOWER.
