Using Knobs to Modify the Tone (Realtime Modify)

The sounds of the HPD-15 have various

parameters

that determine the
loudness, pitch, and duration, and how the notes are sounded. By
modifying the

values

of each parameters, you can vary the tone.
Normally, you will adjust the parameter values to your liking before you
perform. However, some of the parameters can be freely modified while
you play. This is referred to as “

realtime modify

.”

modification.
