Basic Guide

d. Apply distortion to the output

Press the [DISTORTION] key.

Each time you press the key, distortion will be turned on/off.

When this is on ([DISTORTION] key LED lit), distortion will be applied. This is effective when you wish to pro- duce a hard\ harsh tone.

If distortion is turned on, use the MIXER knobs to adjust the degree of distortion.

If you adjust FILTER “Cutoff” or “Resonance,” the char- acter of the distortion will change.

e. Use keyboard playing dynamics to vary the volume

Press the SELECT [7] key, and then press the CURSOR [®] key four times.

The LCD screen will show Page 09E: AMP “Vel Sense.” Use the [+/YES] [–/NO] keys to set the value. Positive (+) values will cause the volume to increase as you play more strongly.

Negative (–)values will cause the volume to decrease as you play more strongly.

09E AMP

Vel Sense: +30

f. Vary the volume by the keyboard location you play

From the “Vel Sense” screen, press the CURSOR[®] key.

The LCD screen will show Page 09F: AMP “KBD Track.” Use the [+/YES] [–/NO] keys to set the value.

Positive (+) values will cause the volume to increase as you play upward on the keyboard, and decrease as you play downward on the keyboard.

Negative (–)values will cause the volume to increase as you play downward on the keyboard, and decrease as you play upward on the keyboard.

09F AMP

KBD Track: +25

7. Specify time-variant changes in volume

EG 2 produces time-variant changes in the AMP “Level.”

If you wish to use the front panel knobs to adjust the EG 2 parameters, you must first use the SEQ EDIT [SELECT] key to make the SEQ 1–3 LED’s go dark.

a. Adjust the speed at which the sound will attack\ trigger

Rotate the EG 2 [ATTACK] knob.

The LCD screen will show Page 11A: EG 2 “Attack.” Rotating the knob toward the right (increasing the value) will cause the sound to attack/ trigger more slowly, and rotating it toward the left (decreasing the value) will cause the sound to attack/ trigger instantly.

11A EG 2

Attack: 000

If rotating the knob does not produce an effect, make sure that the AMP [EG 2/GATE] key LED is dark.

b. Adjust the speed at which the volume will decay

Rotate the EG 2 [DECAY] knob.

The LCD screen will show Page 11B: EG 2 “Decay.” Rotating the knob toward the right (increasing the value) will cause a longer decay time until the sustain is reached.

c. Adjust the volume of the sustained sound

Rotate the EG 2 [SUSTAIN] knob.

The LCD screen will show Page 11C: EG 2 “Sustain.” Rotating the knob toward the right (increasing the value) will produce a louder volume during the sustain.
