 Articulation
Articulation is an effect that reproduces the sounds
of playing methods that are unique to specific instru-
ments.
The Articulation effect is applied to the sound only
while holding down the [ARTICULATION] button. The
Articulation effect is enabled only for S.Art Lite
Voices (Super Articulation Lite Voices). The S.Art
Lite Voices are indicated by “***” in Voice List (page
68).
Examples of the Articulation effect
If you select a guitar voice, you can realistically
reproduce the following guitar-specific playing tech-
niques.
Example: Voice number 044 “S.Art Lite Nylon
Guitar Harmonics”
If you play the keyboard while holding down the
[ARTICULATION] button, a harmonics sound is pro-
duced.
Example: Voice number 048 “S.Art Lite Distortion
Guitar”
If you press the [ARTICULATION] button, a scratch-
ing noise is produced.
When S.Art Lite Voices are selected, the appropriate
articulation effect is automatically selected.
When other Voices are selected, the modulation
effect is automatically selected.
1 Press the [ARTICULATION] button while playing
the keyboard.
2 Release the [ARTICULATION] button to turn
Articulation off.
Adding the Articulation effect by using the pedal
If you assign the Articulation function to the pedal
(foot switch) with “PdlFunc” (Function 029; page 53),
you can apply the effect by pressing on the pedal.
 Reverb
Adds the ambience of a club or concert hall to the
sound. Although the best-suited Reverb type is
called up by selecting a Song or Style, you can
select another one via Function number 020 (page
53). When you select “oFF,” the Reverb effect is
turned off. And you can also set the Reverb depth via
Function number 021 (page 53).
 Chorus
Makes the Voice sound richer, warmer and more
spacious. Although the best-suited Chorus type is
called up by selecting a Song or Style, you can
select another one via Function number 022 (page
53). When you select “oFF,” the Chorus effect is
turned off. You can also set the Chorus depth for
Voices via Function numbers 007 (page 52), 011, 015
(page 53).
The Chorus depth cannot be applied to the Styles or
Songs.
 Sustain
By turning on the Sustain parameter of Function
number 024 (page 53), you can add a fixed, auto-
matic sustain to the Main/Dual Voices played on the
keyboard. Or, you can produce a natural sustain as
desired with the footswitch (sold separately; page
14).
