Using the Lower Keyboard to Play the Bass Voice (Pedal [To Lower] Button)
By using the Pedal [To Lower] button, you can sound the Pedal Bass voice by playing the root note (see p. 109) of a chord on the Lower keyboard in the area that is playing the Lower voice.
1. Select a Pedal Bass voice (p. 23).
2. Press the Pedal [To Lower] button (indicator lit).
When you play a chord on the Lower keyboard, the Pedal Bass voice will also be heard and will play the root note.
Now when you play C/E/G on the Lower keyboard, the C (bottom note) will also play the Pedal Bass voice. In this way, the Pedal Bass voice will be played by the root note of the chord you play on the Lower keyboard.
If the Leading Bass function is assigned to the Foot Switch (p. 87), the lowest note you play in the Lower keyboard sounds the Pedal Bass voice while you depress the foot switch.
NOTE
If the [Drums/SFX] button is ON, the Pedal Bass voice will not sound.
NOTE
If the Pedal [To Lower] is ON, the Pedal Bass voice will not be heard from the Pedalboard.
NOTE
If no portion of the Lower keyboard is sounding the Lower voice (the [Drums/ SFX] button is ON), the Pedal Bass voice will not sound.
If the Utility menu item “Leading Bass” is turned on, the lowest note you play in the Lower keyboard sounds the Pedal Bass voice (p. 89).
