 Knob B: RELEASE
Adjusts the Release Time (the amount of time it takes
for the sound to decay to silence after a key is
released). Turning the Knob to the right will increase
the Release Time, thus make a longer sustain.
n STYLE FILTER
Same as “ c FILTER.” These effects are applied only
to Style or Riyaz playback.
The chart below lists some interesting ways to use the various effects that can be assigned to the LIVE CONTROL
Knobs.

RIYAZ
(BALANCE 1/
BALANCE 2)
Knob A adjusts the volume balance between the sounds of Tabla/Mridangam 1
(having the lower sound) and Tabla/Mridangam 2 (having the higher sound of
Tabla/Mridangam). Knob B adjusts the volume balance between the sounds of
the Tabla/Mridangam (assigned to the [TABLA 1] and [TABLA 2] buttons) and
Tanpura (assigned to the [TANPURA 1]–[TANPURA 4] buttons). Play with
these Knobs as the patterns loop, sing along if you wish, and create your own
performance.
x
RIYAZ
(TEMPO/KEY)
Knob A adjusts the tempo of Riyaz playback. Setting to the minimum left-most
position results in half the default tempo, while setting to the maximum right-
most position results in double the default tempo. The center position corre-
sponds to the default tempo. Note that the tempo cannot exceed the range (11–
280), and that the tempo of the Tanpura patterns will not change even if you
rotate Knob A. Knob B raises or lowers the pitch of the Riyaz sound in semi-
tones. Regarding the Tabla, only the higher sound (assigned to the [2] button)
will be transposed. Rotating the knob leftward lowers the pitch while rotating
the knob rightward raises the pitch.
Use these knobs to set the desired tempo and key, sing along if you wish, and
create your own performance!
c
FILTER
Select a synth-type lead or pad Voice (refer to the Voice List in the Data List on
the website). Turn Knob B all the way up and operate Knob A while playing for
some spacey, floating 1980’s effects.
v
EFFECT
Select a Voice that sounds as though it already has reverb and chorus effects
applied, and turn Knob A and Knob B all the way down to hear the “direct”
sound of the Voice. You can then turn the Knob A and Knob B settings up to add
extra impact and richness to the Voice.
b
EG
Select an Indian Voice, and turn Knob B all the way up and Knob A to about the
3 o’clock position. This should give you a majestic, organ-like sound. The attack
time is quite long so play the keys and hold them to let the sound come in fully.
Ideal for slow pieces.
n
STYLE FILTER
Select Style 001 Dholly. Turn accompaniment on and start Style playback (page
22). Set Knob B to about 3 o’clock, and Knob A to about 8 o’clock. The overall
sound of the Style should be a bit muffled, with the drums emphasized for solid
rhythmic impact.
