Sound DSP
This instrument employs five SOUND DSP’s to
create the sounds.
Three of them are for the RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2
and LEFT parts; for these parts you can use
the SOUND DSP and select lifelike sounds.
The remaining two are used in the normal mode
of the automatic accompaniment; the optimum
effects for the selected rhythm are automatically
set.
• The DSP for the ACCOMP parts can also be
used for the SEQUENCER parts. (Refer to
page 163.)
• The types and number of sounds that can be
selected for parts that can use the SOUND
DSP and parts that cannot use the SOUND
DSP differ.
