[]/[®] keys

In Normal Edit mode, EX Edit mode and Global mode, these keys are used to move to the previous or next page, or to move the cursor to left/right in the display.

[–]/[+] keys

In Normal mode and EX mode, these keys select the preset program bank.

If you briefly press a key, the value will change in steps of one. If you continue holding down a key, the value will change continuously.

6. [SPLIT] key

In Normal mode, you can divide the keyboard into left and right areas divided at the note you specify (the “split point”).

The split point will be the highest note in the left keyboard area.

The split point can be set independently for each program.

You can change the split point by adjusting the Normal Edit mode Group 7 “Split Point” parameter.

7. PERCUSSION section

The keys in this section add an attack to the sound at the moment that the note is played, giving the notes more definition.

These keys will have an effect when the Upper tone generator is used.

For details on each key, refer to “Key settings in the PERCUSSION section” (p.12).

8. [EX MODE] key

Press this key to enter EX mode.

For each tone generator, these select the drawbar settings that will be used.

There are three choices of drawbar settings; the Drawbar 1 or Drawbar 2 settings of the front panel, or the drawbar parameters of the program.

The Drawbar 1 settings of the front panel will be used.

UPPER/LOWER [DRAWBAR 2] key

The Drawbar 2 settings of the front panel will be used.

The drawbar parameters of an EX mode program contain “EX Mode Drawbar Level” parameters.

To modify the drawbar parameter settings, you will use Normal Edit mode for a Normal mode program, or EX Edit mode for an EX mode program.

If the key LED is blinking or dark, pressing this key will cause the drawbar parameter settings to appear in the display for approximately one second.
