MODULATION	CC01	Vibrato Effect
PORTA TIME	CC05	Portamento Time (p. 47)
VOLUME	CC07	Level
BALANCE	CC08	The volume balance of LOWER and UP-
		PER tones (p. 45)
PAN	CC10	Pan (p. 46)
EXPRESSION	CC11	Level
PORTAMENTO	CC65	Portamento Switch (p. 47)
SOSTENUTO	CC66	Holds the sound of the key being pressed
SOFT	CC67	Softens the Tone
RESONANCE	CC71	Tone Filter Resonance (p. 48)
RELEASE TIME	CC72	Tone Envelope Release Time (p. 48)
ATTACK TIME	CC73	Tone Envelope Attack Time (p. 48)
CUTOFF	CC74	Tone Filter Cutoff (p. 47)
DECAY TIME	CC75	Tone Envelope Decay Time (p. 48)
LFO RATE	CC76	Tone LFO Rate (p. 47)
LFO DEPTH	CC77	Tone LFO Depth (p. 47)
LFO DELAY	CC78	Tone LFO Delay (p. 47)
CHO SEND LEVEL	CC93	Chorus Send Level (p. 46)
REV SEND LEVEL	CC91	Reverb Send Level (p. 46)
MFX PARAMETER1	CC12	The parameter specified by Multi-effect
		Control 1 (p. 69)
MFX PARAMETER2	CC13	The parameter specified by Multi-effect
		Control 2 (p. 69)
AFTERTOUCH	----
BEND UP	----	Pitch bend effect (center → up)
BEND DOWN	----	Pitch bend effect (center → down)

In Patch mode, the effect will apply to the patch. In Performance mode, the effect will apply to the patch assigned to the current part. Use [DESTINATION TONE] to specify the tone (p. 26).

“TxCC#” refers to the controller number of control change messages sent from the MIDI OUT connector when the D Beam controller is operated. When set to AFTERTOUCH, Channel Aftertouch messages are sent. Set to AFTERTOUCH mainly when you want to control an external sound generator with Aftertouch messages.

Receiving these control change messages from the MIDI IN connector produces the same effect as moving the D Beam controller.

*When set to MFX PARAMETER1 or MFX PARAMETER2, be sure to note the following.

•When the multi-effects Type is set to 01: STEREO EQ (p. 69) or 42: LOFI (p. 83), Level is changed regardless of whether MFX PARAMETER1 or MFX PARAMETER2 is selected.

•When the multi-effects Type is set to 23: 2V PCH SHIFT (p. 77), or 24: FB PCH SHIFT (p. 78), the two parameters are changed simultaneously.

*When making the LFO RATE, LFO DEPTH or LFO DELAY settings, the effect achieved differs depending on whether [FILTER LFO] is on or off. When [FILTER LFO] is off, the LFO alters the pitch (vibrato effect). When [FILTER LFO] is on, the LFO changes the Filter Cutoff frequency (wah effect).
