Editing the drawbar parameters

When the DRAWBAR SELECT section [DRAWBAR PRESET] key is pressed, the drawbars will sound at the levels saved with the current program. These settings are saved individually for each program.

Normal mode

If the [DRAWBAR PRESET] key is pressed in both upper and lower DRAWBAR SELECT sections, the “UPPER” parameters will be used when you play the upper keyboard, and the “LOWER” parameters will be used when you play the lower keyboard.

If you want to edit these settings, use the following procedure.

1.Select a program in Normal mode.

2.Press the [EDIT] key.

You will enter Normal Edit mode.

3.Press the PROGRAM [2] key.

The left side of the display will indicate UPPER, and to the right of this the “UPPER” parameter settings will be displayed.

If you are unable to adjust the “UPPER” parameter settings, make sure that the DRAWBAR SELECT section [DRAWBAR PRESET] key is selected.

If the [DRAWBAR PRESET] key is not selected, its LED will begin to blink.

4.Move the bars of the Drawbar 1 or Drawbar 2 sections (you may use either) to adjust the draw- bar parameters.

Any bar you move will input a new value for that parameter, and the display will change accordingly.

5.Press the [®] key once to display the “LOWER” parameters.

6.Move the bars of the Drawbar 1 or Drawbar 2 sections to adjust the drawbar parameters.

7.Press the [WRITE/ENTER] key to write the settings into internal memory.

For details, refer to “Writing a program” (p.19).

EX mode

In EX mode, the lower keyboard will play the “EX LOWER” parameter settings that are preset in the pro- gram, regardless of the current setting in the DRAWBAR SELECT section.

To edit these settings, use the following procedure.

1.Select a program in EX mode.

2.Press the [EDIT] key.

You will enter EX Edit mode.

3.Press the PROGRAM [2] key, and then press the [®] key once.

The “EX LOWER” parameters will be displayed.

5.Use the [-][+] keys to adjust the value.

The display will show the value as you adjust it.

6.Press the [WRITE/ENTER] key to write the settings into internal memory. For details, refer to “Writing a program” (p.19).

Copying drawbar parameters

The front panel Drawbar 1 or Drawbar 2 settings can be copied directly to the “UPPER” or “LOWER” parameters of a Normal program, or to the “EX Drawbar Level” parameters of an EX program.

As an example, here's how you can select a Normal program, use the front panel Drawbar 1 bars to create a sound, and then copy the settings to the “UPPER” parameters of the program.

1.Select a program in Normal mode.

2.In the upper DRAWBAR SELECT section, press the [DRAWBAR 1] key.

3.While playing the keyboard, use the front panel Drawbar 1 bars to create the desired sound.
