* What is the leading bass function?
The function that sounds the lowest note of a fingered chord
as the bass tone is called “Leading Bass.” When this function
is turned on, the Bass Tone changes when chord inversions
are used. Usually the tonic of the chord you play sounds as
the bass tone.
* What is the rotary effect?
This adds a sort of spinning effect to the organ sound, similar
to the sound when a rotary speaker is used.
Changing the speed increases or decreases the speed of this
spinning effect.
Functions that can be assigned (Pedals
Only)
* The effect may not be applied correctly when you press a pedal
if “Pedal EX1–4” is assigned to more than one pedal.
Using the “Bend Up” or “Bend Down” function during a
split performance (p. 24) changes the pitch of sounds in the
right-hand side of the keyboard. Additionally, the range in
which the pitch can change when the Bender effect is used is
called the “bend range”; refer to “Changing the Bend Range
(Pedal Setting)” (p. 145).
Fade In/
Out
This starts Automatic Accompaniment with
a fade-in (where the volume gets progres-
sively louder), ends it with a fade-out
(where the volume gets progressively soft-
er), then stops.
Rotary
Slow/Fast
This switches the speed of the rotary effect*
when you perform with an organ Tone.
Glide
While the pedal or Performance Pad is held
down, the pitch of the sound drops tempo-
rarily, returning to the original pitch when
the pedal or Pad is released. This can be ef-
fective for simulating the performance of in-
struments like a Hawaiian guitar.
