Effect Parameters
You can use a pedal to turn the
Harmony/Echo effects on and off
(page 191).
Portamento:
Portamento is a function that cre
-
ates a smooth transition in pitch
from the first note played on the
keyboard to the next. The porta-
mento time (the pitch transition
time) can be set via the MIXING
CONSOLE display (page 90).
DSP:
Stands for Digital Signal Proces-
sor (or Processing). DSP changes
and enhances the audio signal in
the digital realm to produce a
wide range of effects.
LEFT HOLD
This function causes the LEFT part Voice to be held even when the keys are
released. Non-decaying voices such as strings are held continuously, while decay-
type voices such as piano decay more slowly (as if the sustain pedal has been
pressed).
HARMONY/
ECHO
The Harmony/Echo types are applied to the right-hand Voices (page 87).
MONO/POLY
This determines whether the part’s Voice is played monophonically (only one note
at a time) or polyphonically. Using the MONO mode lets you play single, lead
sounds (such as brass instruments) more realistically. It also lets you expressively
control the Portamento effect (depending on the selected Voice) by playing legato.
DSP/DSP
VARIATION
With the digital effects built into the instrument, you can add ambience and
depth to your music in a variety of ways—such as adding reverb that makes
you sound like you are playing in a concert hall.
•The DSP switch is used to turn the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) effect on
or off for the currently selected keyboard part.
•The DSP Variation switch is used to change between variations of the DSP
effect. You could use this while you play, for example, to change the rotat-
ing speed (slow/fast) of the rotary speaker effect.
