4 Turn the CONTROL knobs.
● Press a KNOB PARAMETER GROUP switch and turn
each CONTROL knob as you play each Scene to
hear how it affects the sound. There are eight
different groups of parameters assigned to the
knobs at the factory. These let you edit the tone
generator parameters as printed on the panel
beside each knob. Notice how easy it is to edit
and drastically change the voice.
For more information about using the CONTROL knobs, see page 26.
5 Compare Layer modes.
● Press the [LAYER] switch to compare the difference
of each of the six Layer modes as you play, one at
a time.
For more information about Layer modes, see page 22.
6 Change Poly mode setting.
● To hear how the keyboard Poly setting affects how
the voice can be played, set the [EDIT ROTARY]
switch to the VOICE SCENE SETUP menu and press
the Poly [UP/DOWN] switch to select POLY,
MONO or LEGATO. Then play the keyboard.
For more information about Poly mode, see page 72.
7 Turn [ARPEGGIO/SEQ] on and off.
● If the voice uses the Arpeggiator (“ARP” appears in
the LCD) or Sequencer (“SEQ” appears in the LCD),
press the [ARPEGGIO/SEQ] switch to turn it off
and hear how the voice sounds without the pattern.
● Pay attention to how the arpeggio or sequence is
triggered—either across the entire length of the
keyboard, or only to the left of the Split Point. In the
case of the Step Sequencer, some voices are
programmed to let you trigger a different pattern
from each key to the left of the Split Point.
● Set the [EDIT ROTARY] switch to the VOICE
ARPEGGIO/SEQ menu and press KbdMode
[UP/DOWN] once to confirm the setting which
determines how the pattern is triggered. Next, set
the [EDIT ROTARY] switch to the VOICE SCENE
SETUP menu and press Poly [UP/DOWN] and
compare the way the different Poly mode settings
affect the pattern as you play the keyboard.
● If the voice does not use the Arpeggiator or Step
Sequencer, press [ARPEGGIO/SEQ] to turn on the
Arpeggiator or Step Sequencer and hear how notes
and chords are affected.
For more information about the Arpeggiator, see page 33. For information about
the Step Sequencer, see page 37.
8 Change arpeggio Tempo, Pattern Type,
Subdivision, and Hold status.
● To speed up or slow down the Arpeggiator pattern
(or sequence), set the [EDIT ROTARY] switch to the
VOICE COMMON menu and press Tempo
[UP/DOWN] until you achieve the desired rate.
For more information about Tempo, see page 77.
● To try out the 30 different preset Arpeggiator
pattern types, set the [EDIT ROTARY] switch to the
VOICE ARPEGGIO/SEQ menu and press the
Type/No [UP/DOWN] switch and step through
each pattern.
For more information about the Type/No parameter, see page 34.
● To hear how the timing resolution of a pattern
changes with the 10 different Subdivide settings, set
the [EDIT ROTARY] switch to the VOICE
ARPEGGIO/SEQ menu and press Arpeggio
Subdivide [UP/DOWN] to step through each.
For more information about Arpeggio Subdivide, see page 34.
9 Change Effects and adjust EQ.
● To hear the different Variation and EQ effects and
settings, set the [EDIT ROTARY] switch to the VOICE
COMMON menu and press Vari EF/EQ Param
[UP/DOWN] and Data [UP/DOWN] switches
accordingly. Also press the Vari EF Dry:Wet
[UP/DOWN] to change the balance between “dry”
(normal) and “wet” (effected) signals.
For more information about Vari EF/EQ, see page 77.
● To hear the different Delay and Reverb effects and
settings, press Dly/Rev EF Param [UP/DOWN] and
Data [UP/DOWN] switches accordingly.
For more information about Dly/Rev EF mode, see page 79.
● To bypass specific or all effects and hear how the
voice sounds in its pristine state, press EF Bypass
[UP/DOWN] and change the status accordingly.
EF Bypass is a system parameter, and therefore will remain as you set it
regardless of which voice is selected. For more information, see page 80.
