Adjusting the fine tune
You can fine tune the Main and the Layer sounds (in Layer
mode), so that there is some “beating” between them.
1. After having pressed the EDIT button, use the SCROLL
button to go to the Fine Tune edit page:
Use the +/YES and -/NO buttons to adjust fine tune for
the Main sound, within a range of ±99 cents (1 cent = 1/
100 of a semitone).
2. If you are in Layer or Split mode, press SCROLL
again
to select the L (Layer/Left) parameter:
Use the +/YES and -/NO buttons to change the fine tune
of the Layer/Left sound.
3. Press the EXIT button to return to the Main page and save
the changes (see “Exit from the Sound edit mode” on
page 41), or the SCROLL
button to go to the next edit
page (see below).
Programming the pedals
By default, the three pedals act (from right to left) as damper,
sostenuto and soft. You can freely reassign them according to
your need or preference. You can either assign them to the
sounds by these pages, or globally (see page 52). Global pro-
gramming override these settings.
Hint: Use sound programming to assign sound effects, like
damper, rotary speaker speed and glide; use global program-
ming to assign global controls, like drum pattern, recorder and
quarter tone control.
Note: When a function other than Sound is assigned to a pedal
in Global edit, therefore overriding sound programming, a (G)
abbreviation appears in the following pedal assignment pages.
1. After having pressed the EDIT button, use the SCROLL
button to show the Pedal assignment page for the pedal
you wish to reprogram:
2. Use the SCROLL buttons to move the cursor to the M
(Main) or L (Layer/Left) parameter. Use the +/YES and -/
NO buttons to choose the required function.
You can assign different functions to the Main and Layer/
Left sounds, depending on the type of sound. This allows
for a great flexibility in pedal assignment. Some examples:
A Grand Piano is the Main sound, and a String Ensemble
is the Layer sound. Pedal 1 triggers the Damper effect for
the Piano sound only (it is Off for the Layer sound),
allowing for long, held Piano notes. At the same time,
Pedal 3 triggers the Soft effect for both sounds.
A Grand Piano is the Main sound, and an Acoustic Bass is
the Left sound. The Damper effect is assigned to the Main
sound on Pedal 1 (it is Off for the Left sound), while the
Glide effect is assigned to the Left sound on Pedal 3 (it is
Off for the Main sound). When you want Piano notes to
be held, press the rightmost pedal (#1) as in a traditional
piano; when you want the Bass to glide, press the leftmost
pedal (#3). You can use both pedals at the same time.
