harder you strike the keys, the greater the volume and the brighter the timbre will become.

apply to the keys after playing them. The harder you press
down on the keys, the greater the volume and the brighter the
timbre will become. Range: 1 (no After Touch effect) – 7

4 PAN
Determines the position of the Voice in the stereo image. Seven
Pan positions are available.
5 BRILL. (Brilliance)
Determines the timbre or tone of the Voice. Higher settings
make the Voice brighter.

Range: 0 – 24
The actual sound of the effect
may not be noticeable even
when selected here, if the
corresponding settings in the
Effect Set page (see page 37) are
not appropriate.
The Pan effect is displayed and
active only when other effects
are set to OFF (in the EFFECT
parameter above).
These effects are applied in
different degrees depending on
the type of Voice you’ve
selected.
Generally, After Touch has no
effect on percussive Voices
(such as Piano, Harpsichord, or
Vibraphone) or percussion
sounds.
