Hold

If you press [HOLD] to make the indicator light, the

sound will continue even after you take your finger off

of the keyboard pad. Press [HOLD] once again to

make the indicator go dark, and the sound will stop.

Using the Part Mixer to

Modify Pattern Settings

You can use the eight Part Sliders to adjust various

pattern settings, such as the volume and pan for each

part. These settings can even be modified in real time

while a pattern is playing, and slider movements can

be recorded in a pattern.

Adjusting the Volume of Each

Part (Part Level)

fig.2-27

1. Press [MIXER SELECT] several times to make

the LEVEL indicator light.

2. Move part sliders [R]Ð [7] to adjust the vol-

ume of each part.

Range: 0Ð127

Raising a slider will increase the volume. Lowering it

will decrease the volume.

With a setting of Ò127,Ó the volume setting of the patch

itself will be fully active.

Adjusting the Pan of Each Part

(Part Pan)

You can adjust the stereo location in the stereo output

from the various OUTPUT jacks (MIX L/R, DIRECT1

L/R, DIRECT2 L/R). For example, you might place

the drums and bass in the center, the piano at right,

and a pad at left.

fig.2-28

1. Press [MIXER SELECT] several times to make

the PAN indicator light.

2. Move the part sliders [R]Ð [7] to adjust the

pan of each part.

Range: L64Ð63R

Raising a slider will move the sound toward the right.

Lowering it will move the sound toward the left.

When this setting is at Ò0,Ó the setting of the patch

itself will be unaffected.

* Pan is specified independently for each tone of a patch (or

each rhythm tone of a rhythm set). Modifying the Part

Pan applies a relative change to the overall panning of the

patch or rhythm set.

* For some patches, a small amount of sound may be heard

from the opposite speaker even if the pan is set to full left

or full right. Also, the Part Pan setting will have no effect

in the following cases.

¥ When monaural connections are used

¥ Tones/rhythm tones for which Random Pan is ON

☞ ÒCausing Pan to Change Randomly (Random

Pan Switch)Ó (p. 46, 72)

¥ Patches/rhythm tones to which a mono-output EFX

(spectrum, overdrive, distortion, noise generator,

phonograph, limiter, phaser) is applied

The same applies for the Lo-Fi or Radio Tuning effects

if the output setting of them is set to MONO.
