Functions that can be assigned (Pedals,
Performance Pads)
* 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.

When assigned to a Performance Pad, this is
alternately switched on and off each time the
pad is pressed.

Only the accompaniment’s rhythm part is
played. The next time you specify a chord
