b VOLUME BALANCE/RETRIGGER RATE
 Knob A: VOLUME BALANCE
Adjusts the volume balance between the audio
playback volume from the connected audio device
(page 46) or the computer (page 47) and the
Song/Style/Groove. Turning the knob to the left
decreases the external audio volume, while turning
it to the right decreases the instrument volume.
Even when there is no audio input from an external
device, the volume of Song, Style and Groove can
be adjusted by using the knob. The volume of
Voices played on the keyboard cannot be adjusted.
 Knob B: RETRIGGER RATE
Adjusts the Retrigger Rate (the length of the part
to be r
epeated) of the Groove Retri
gger function
(page 61). Turning this knob to the right decreases
it, and turning the knob to the left increases it.
The chart below lists some interesting ways to use the various effects that can be assigned to the knobs.
Some Ideas for Using the Knobs
• When the instrument is connected to the [USB TO HOST]
terminal, and Audio Loop Back (page 69, Function 056) is
set to OFF, you cannot adjust the volume of audio playback
input from the external device.
NOTE
• When setting the tempo of the Groove playback to more
than 200, turning the knob to the right cannot change the
length to be repeated.
NOTE
Number/Effect Try This
z
CUTOFF/RESONANCE
Select “143 Gemini” (a synth-lead type Voice) or “170 Noise”. Select
z with [KNOB
ASSIGN] button, and then switch the target to KEYBOARD. Turning Knobs A or B while
playing gives you the dynamic filter-sweep effects of an analog synthesizer.
x
REVERB/CHORUS
Select the Voice “008 CP80.” Select
x with [KNOB ASSIGN] button, and then switch the
target to KEYBOARD. Turn Knobs A and B all the way down to hear the direct, unpro-
cessed sound of the Voice. As you turn Knob B toward the right, a Chorus effect with
modulation is gradually applied to the sound. Turning Knob A to the right adds a Reverb
effect that makes you sound like you are playing in a concert hall.
c
DSP
Select the Voice, “019 Cool!Org.” Select
c with [KNOB ASSIGN] button, and then switch
the target to KEYBOARD. Press the [DSP] button to turn the DSP on, then set the DSP
type (Function 040) to “01 RotarySp.” Use Knob A to change the rotating speed of the
rotary speaker while playing the keyboard. When you move it slowly, you can create
gradual speed changes like on a real rotary speaker. Use Knob B to control the distor-
tion.
v
ATTACK/RELEASE
Select the Voice “173 RSAnPad.” Turning Knob A all the way down makes the attack
faster, and lets you hear the crisp, clear sound of the original Voice. Turning Knob B all
the way down shortens the amount of time for the sound to decay to silence after a key is
released. These knobs let you finely adjust the Voice to create the appropriate sound for
the particular song you’re playing.
b
VOLUME BALANCE/
RETRIGGER RATE
Knob A: Connect an audio device or a computer (page 46), then turn this knob while
playing audio on the external device. You can adjust the volume balance between the
performance on this instrument and the audio input.
Knob B: Select the Section C of the Groove “008 FrenchDJ” and start Groove playback.
Turn this knob to the right while holding down the Section button C, and you can pro-
gressively shorten the Retrigger rate like a DJ would in performance.
