Adjusting the fine tune

You can fine tune the Main and the Layer sounds (in Layer mode), so that there is some “beating” between them.

1.After having pressed the EDIT button, use the SCROLL button to go to the Fine Tune edit page:

Fine Tune	10
M:+00	L:+00

2. If you are in Layer or Split mode, press SCROLL again to select the L (Layer/Left) parameter:

Fine Tune	10
M:+00	L:+00

Use the +/YES and -/NO buttons to change the fine tune of the Layer/Left sound.

Use the +/YES and -/NO buttons to adjust fine tune for the Main sound, within a range of ±99 cents (1 cent = 1/ 100 of a semitone).

Value	Meaning
-99 ~ -01	Ninety-nine to one cent lower
+00	No transposition
+01 ~ +99	One to 99 cents higher

3.Press the EXIT button to return to the Main page and save the changes (see “Exit from the Sound edit mode” on

page 38), or the SCROLL button to go to the next edit page (see below).

Programming the pedals

By default, the three pedals act (from right to left) as damper, sostenuto and soft. You can freely reassign them according to your need or preference. You can either assign them to the sounds by these pages, or globally (see page 49). Global pro- gramming override these settings.

Hint: Use sound programming to assign sound effects, like damper, rotary speaker speed and glide; use global program-

ming to assign global controls, like drum pattern, recorder and quarter tone control.

Note: When a function other than Sound is assigned to a pedal in Global edit, therefore overriding sound programming, a (G) abbreviation appears in the following pedal assignment pages.

1.After having pressed the EDIT button, use the SCROLL button to show the Pedal assignment page for the pedal you wish to reprogram:
