9 [MULTI PART CONTROL] button (pages 136
and 180)
Pressing this button changes the functions assigned to the
eight knobs in the Performance /Song/Pattern mode. The
lamp next to the currently active parameters will light. In the
Performance mode, the four knobs at the left end
correspond to Parts 1 – 4. In the Song/Pattern mode, all
knobs correspond to Parts 1 – 8 or 9 –16 (depending on
the currently selected Part).
) Control Sliders
These sliders control the volume of the sound in different
ways depending on the mode selected:
Voice mode—volume of the eight Elements (page 91)
Performance mode—volume of the four Parts (page 137)
Song/Pattern modes—volume of the eight Parts, including
the current Part (page 180)
Master mode—volume (page 252) or specified Control
Change number (page 257) of the eight Zones
n If all of the Control Sliders are set to the minimum, you may not
hear any sound from the instrument, even when playing the
keyboard or a Song/Pattern. If this is the case, raise all the
sliders to a suitable level.
n The MASTER VOLUME slider adjusts the audio output level
from this instrument. On the other hand, the Control Slider
adjusts the volume for the Element of the Voice or the Part of
the Performance/Song/Pattern as a parameter. Accordingly,
the values set via the Control Sliders can be stored as the
Voice, Performance, Song, or Pattern data.

The Remote mode lets you control sequencer software on
your computer from the panel controls of the instrument.

@ [ARPEGGIO ON/OFF] button (pages 65, 101
and 135)
Press this button to enable or disable playback of the
Arpeggio for each Voice, Performance, Song, or Pattern. If
the Arpeggio Switch of the selected Part is set to off in the
Performance/Song/Pattern mode, however, pressing this
button has no effect.
# EFFECT BYPASS buttons (page 260)
The extensive effect block of the instrument provides
Insertion effects (eight sets, with two effect units per set),
System Effects (Reverb and Chorus), and Master Effects.
The effects can be applied to the keyboard-played Voices
and to Song/Pattern playback. When the lamp of the
[INSERTION] or [SYSTEM] button is turned on, the
corresponding Effect is off (or bypassed).
n When the checkbox of the Reverb/Chorus is set to off in the
[UTILITY] [F1] General [SF2] FXBypass display, the
Reverb/Chorus is maintained (not bypassed) even if you turn
the [SYSTEM] button on.

When this button is pressed (the lamp lights), the Master
Effect is applied to the overall sound of this instrument.
Also, to access the Master Effect setting display, press and
hold the [MASTER EFFECT] button for a second or two.
