Special Features
Try playing the Riyaz feature!
Page 23
This special feature lets you play Indian phrase patterns via the Tabla/Mri-
dangam and Tanpura sounds, as if you were using the Tabla machine and Tan-
pura machine. Let’s enjoy the conventional Indian music via the panel buttons
and Knobs.
Creating New Sounds via the LIVE CONTROL Knobs
Page 21
By adjusting just two LIVE CONTROL Knobs you can add varying degrees of
distortion, “sweetness,” or other characteristics to a sound to change it subtly or
drastically. Parameters that can be assigned to the LIVE CONTROL Knobs
include effect, filter, envelope generator and more. You can create new sounds in
real time!
Arpeggio Function
Page 20
Similar to the arpeggio functions provided on some synthesizers, this function
automatically produces arpeggios (broken chords) when you simply play the
appropriate notes on the keyboard. A variety of arpeggios can be produced by
changing your fingering or the arpeggio type.
Play a Variety of Instrument Voices
Page 16
The instrument Voice that sounds when you play the keyboard can be changed to
violin, flute, harp, or any of an extensive range of Voices. You can change the
mood of a song written for piano, for example, by using violin to play it instead.
Experience a whole new world of musical variety.
