Reference

Even when there is no audio input from an external

device, the volume of Song, Style and Pattern can be

adjusted by using the knob. The volume of Voices

played on the keyboard cannot be adjusted.

 Knob B: RETRIGGER RATE

Adjusts the Retrigger Rate (the length of the part to

be repeated) of the Pattern Retrigger function (page

52). Turning this knob to the right decreases it, and

turning the knob to the left increases it.

n DSP



Knob A/B: DSP PARAMETER A/B

With the digital effects built into the instrument, you

can add DSP effects to your keyboard performance

and the playback sound of Style, etc. (page 48).

Each effect has two parameters which are assigned

to Knobs A and B. By turning the knobs in real-time,

you can alter the music in various dynamic ways,

such as changing the rotating speed (slow/fast) of the

rotary speaker or changing the degree of the Distor-

tion.

The chart below lists some interesting ways to use the various effects that can be assigned to the knobs.

Some Ideas for Using the Knobs

• When the instrument is connected to the [USB TO HOST] ter-

minal, and Audio Loop Back (page 60, Function 058) is set to

OFF, you cannot adjust the volume of audio playback input

from the external device.

• When setting the tempo of the Pattern playback to more than

200, turning the knob to the right cannot change the length to

be repeated.

NOTE

Number/Effect Try This

Filter

Select “143 Gemini” (a synth-lead type Voice) or “170 Noise” (page 20). Turning Knobs A

or B while playing gives you the dynamic filter-sweep effects of an analog synthesizer.

Effect

Select the Voice “008 CP80.” Turn Knobs A and B all the way down to hear the direct,

unprocessed sound of the Voice. As you turn Knob B toward the right, a Chorus effect

with modulation is gradually applied to the sound. Turning Knob A to the right adds a

Reverb effect that makes you sound like you are playing in a concert hall.

Select the Voice “173 RSAnPad.” Turning Knob A all the way down makes the attack

faster, and lets you hear the crisp, clear sound of the original Voice. Turning Knob B all

the way down shortens the amount of time for the sound to decay to silence after a key is

released. These knobs let you finely adjust the Voice to create the appropriate sound for

the particular song you’re playing.

Style Filter

Select the Style, “057 EuTrance.” Turn on the [ACMP ON/OFF] button and start Style

playback (page 26). Set Knob B to about 3 o’clock, and Knob A to about 8 o’clock. The

overall sound of the style should be a bit muffled compared to the original, with the

drums emphasized for solid rhythmic impact.

Volume Balance/

Pattern Retrigger

Knob A: Connect an audio device or a computer (page 36), then turn this knob while

playing audio on the external device. You can adjust the volume balance between the

performance on this instrument and the audio input.

Knob B: Select the Section C of the Pattern “002 FrenchDJ” and start Pattern playback.

Turn this knob to the right while holding down the Section button C, and you can pro-

gressively shorten the Retrigger rate like a DJ would in performance.

DSP

Select the Voice, “019 Cool!Org.” Press the [DSP] button to turn the DSP on, then set the

DSP type (Function 040) to “01 RotarySp,” and the DSP part (Function 041) to “1 Key-

board” (page 60). Adjust the effect depth by turning Knob B while playing the keyboard,

then use Knob A to change the rotating speed of the rotary speaker. When you move it

slowly, you can create gradual speed changes like on a real rotary speaker.
