Performing with the Keyboard
Aftertouch
You can change the sound by pressing the keys with even greater force.
The effect applied is predetermined for each tone, and cannot be changed.
Damper Pedal
With a damper pedal connected to the DAMPER PEDAL jack on the VR-
760’s rear panel, you can then add reverberation to the sound.
Even after you release the keys, the sound continues to linger for as long as
the damper pedal is pressed.
With an optional DP-8 connected, you can adjust the depth of the
reverberation with the pedal. As an example, when used with acoustic
piano tones, this allows you to produce a half damper effect.
* With the factory settings, the damper effect is not applied to the organ part. For
instructions on assigning the damper effect to the organ part, refer to “Organ
Damper SW (ON/OFF)” (p. 65).
* You can set the synth part’s damper effect on or off (p. 65).
Expression pedal
With a expression pedal connected to the EXP PEDAL jack on the VR-760’s
rear panel, you can then control the volume level.
Advancing the pedal away from yourself will increase the volume, and
returning it toward yourself will decrease the volume.
* With the factory settings, the expression effect is not applied to the piano part. For
instructions on assigning the expression effect to the piano part, refer to “Piano
Exp SW (ON/OFF)” (p. 65).
* Even with the expression pedal completely released, the organ volume does not go
all the way to 0. This is due to the simulation of the traditional organ.
* The expression effect is not applied to the rhythm part.
Control Pedal
By connecting a pedal switch or expression pedal to the rear panel
CONTROL PEDAL jack, you can then control a variety of functions. For
more details about this function, refer to “Assigning Functions to Control
Pedal” (p. 66).
You can set the range over
which the aftertouch
changes (p. 70).
You can also use the switch
pedal (DP-2/6; sold
separately).
NOTE
Use only the specified half-
damper pedal (DP-8; sold
separately). By connecting
any other half-damper
pedal, you risk causing
malfunction and/ or
damage to the unit.
You can use the Active
Expression function to
control the strength of the
synth part sound (p. 48).
NOTE
Use only the specified
expression pedal (EV-7;
sold separately). By
connecting any other
expression pedal, you risk
causing malfunction and/
or damage to the unit.
