Description
This determines the type of Reverb effect. The Reverb types
are (1) Hall 1, (2) Hall 2, (3) Room 1, (4) Room 2, (5) Plate
1, (6) Plate 2, (7) Delay 1, (8) Delay 2, and (9) No Effect.
This determines the overall pitch of the instrument, up
or down in semitone increments.
This determines the overall fine pitch setting of the
instrument.
This determines whether the Voice Set feature is on or
off. When Voice Set is on (default), selecting a Panel
Voice in the Main Voice menu automatically sets the
Voice-related parameters to values that best match the
selected Voice. (Voice Set includes all parameters for
the Main, Dual, and Split Voices — with the exception
of Split Points 1 and 2 — as well as all Harmony/Echo
parameters.)
This determines the degree of touch sensitivity for the
keyboard (when Touch Response is on). (See page
18.) Higher values result in a wider dynamic range
and give you more expressive control over the level of
the Voices. The default Touch Sensitivity setting is 5.
This turns the keyboard guide lamps on or off. Red
lamps correspond to the white keys and green lamps
to the black keys. (See page 30.)
This turns the metronome function on or off. When
set to on, the metronome sounds during Auto
Accompaniment and Song playback.
