Keyboard/Ensemble: Keyboard Control
This page lets you enable/disable the Damper and Expression
pedals, plus the Joystick, for each of the Upper Keyboard tracks.
Damper
On When you press the Damper pedal and release
the keys, the track’s sound is kept sustained.
Off The Damper pedal is not active on any track set
to this status.
Joystick X
This enables/disables the left/right movement of the Joystick
(Pitch Bend, and sometimes a Sound parameter control; for
Pitch Bend settings, see “Mixer/Tuning: Tuning” on page 98).
Joystick Y
This enables/disables the front/rear movement of the Joystick
(Y+: Modulation, and sometimes a different Sound parameter
control; Y-: Various controls, or non-active).
Expression
This parameter allows you to switch the Expression control on/
off on each individual Keyboard track. The Expression control is
a relative level control, always subtracted from the Volume value
of the track.
As an example, imagine you have a Piano sound assigned to
Upper 1, and a Strings sound assigned to Upper 2. If you turn
the Expression switch on on Upper 2, and off on Upper 1, you
can use a continuous pedal to control only the Strings’ volume,
while the Piano remains unchanged.
To program the pedal to act as an Expression control, see “Con-
trollers: Foot Controllers” on page 155. You can only assign this
function to a volume-type pedal, not to a switch-type one.
Assign the “KB Expression” option to the pedal.
