In Global mode, you can press the PROGRAM [1]–[8] keys to directly select the first parameter in each Group 1–Group 8.

Group 1: Basic

Specifies the master tuning, the expression pedal function, the pedal switch function, the pitch bend range, and the keyboard triggering type etc.

Group 2: MIDI Channel

Specifies the MIDI channels.

Group 3: MIDI Parameters

Set MIDI filtering and Local on/off.

Group 4: MIDI CC#1

Specifies the MIDI control change numbers that will be used to transmit and receive drawbar settings.

Group 5: MIDI CC#2

Specifies the MIDI control change numbers that will be assigned to the front panel keys and wheels, and to connected pedals.

Group 6: ExDrawbar Set

Specifies the EX drawbar types.

Group 7: Utility

Copy, swap, or initialize programs, execute a data dump, make settings for the DRAWBAR SELECT section, calibrate a connected pedal, and adjust the settings for the wheel break function.

Group 8: DEMO

Use this parameter to play the demo songs.

Group 1: Basic

Master Tune

[430.0 Hz...450.0 Hz]

Adjusts the overall pitch in 0.2 Hz steps, with A4 (middle A) as the reference pitch.

Transpose

[-12...+12]

Transposes the pitch in semitone steps over a range of +/- 1 octave.

Exp Minimum Level (Expression Minimum Level) [0...30]

Specifies the minimum level when the expression pedal etc. is operated. This will be the volume when the control- ler selected by “Exp Control” is in the minimum position.

Exp Ctrl (Expression Controller)

[Both Indiv, Knob Only, Pedal Only, Both Multi]

Both Indiv: The [EXPRESSION/OVERDRIVE] knob and the expression pedal connected to the EXPRESSION PEDAL jack will both control the volume. These two will function simultaneously.

Knob Only: The [EXPRESSION/OVERDRIVE] knob will control the volume.

Pedal Only: The expression pedal connected to the EXPRESSION PEDAL jack will control the volume. Both Multi: The [EXPRESSION/OVERDRIVE] knob and the expression pedal connected to the EXPRESSION PEDAL jack will both control the volume. The [EXPRES- SION/OVERDRIVE] knob will set the maximum level of the range controlled by the expression pedal.

Prog Chng (Program Change) [All Params, Int. Params]

Specifies whether the settings of the front panel ROTARY section, VIBRATO/CHORUS section, and PERCUSSION setting will also change when you switch programs.

All Params (All Parameters): When you switch programs, the settings of the front panel keys will also change according to the settings of the selected program.

Int. Params (Internal Parameters): The settings of the front panel keys will not change when you switch programs.

Pitch Bend Range

[-7...+7]

Specifies the range (in semitone steps) that the pitch can change when the pitch wheel is operated or when MIDI pitch bend change messages are received.

Wheel Brake Speed

[Slow, Fast]

Selects either Slow or Fast as the speed with which the wheel brake will stop or resume rotation.

Key Trigger

[Shallow, Deep]

Shallow: When a note is played, the sound will begin or end at the first contact (shallow position). This allows the keys to respond rapidly to your playing, as on traditional combo organs. However, the “bounce” when a key returns may produce a brief sound.

Deep: When a note is played, the sound will begin or end at the second contact (deep position). This produces the typical playing response of most electronic keyboard instruments.
