The Function parameters provide additional settings for the Main voice. These settings are especially useful when using a second voice in the Dual or Split modes, since they let you change or enhance the sound of the Main voice separate from the Dual or Split voice. These settings include:

• Volume

• Reverb Send Level

• Octave

• Chorus Send Level

• Pan

• DSP Effect Send Level

1 Select the Function mode.

Press the FUNCTION button.

Flashes to indicate Function parameter can be selected.

2 Select the desired Function parameter number.

While the “FUNCTION” indication is flashing, use the numeric key- pad to select the desired Main Voice Function parameter number (1 - 6). (See the “Parameters” list below for details.)

Function parameter numbers can be selected in the same way as with the voices (see page 28). You can use the numeric keypad to directly enter the number, use the +/- keys to step up and down through the parameters, or press the FUNCTION button to advance through the parameter numbers.

Since the “FUNCTION” indication flashes for only a couple of seconds, make sure to select the parameter quickly after step 1 above.
