Press the FILTER/ASSIGN button located below the D Beam controller so it’s lit.
When you hold down a key and move your hand up or down above the D Beam controller, the brightness of the
sound (cutoff frequency of the filter; p. 35) will change.
Press the FILTER/ASSIGN button once again so its light goes off, and the brightness will no longer be affected
when you move your hand above the D Beam controller.
Selecting the parameter controlled by the D Beam
If you hold down the FILTER/ASSIGN button and move one of the top panel knobs
, the D Beam controller will
have the same function as that knob. At this time you can also choose the direction in which the knob will be moved.
For example, suppose that you hold down the FILTER/ASSIGN button while you turn the LFO RATE knob (p. 41)
toward the right. Thereafter, when you move your hand closer to the D Beam controller while the FILTER/ASSIGN
button is lit, the LFO speeds up, just as if you had moved the LFO RATE knob toward the right.
For details on the parameters that you can control, refer to

If you connect a pedal switch (DP series; sold
separately) to the rear panel PEDAL jack, the
notes you play while holding down the pedal
will continue sounding even if you take your
hand off the keyboard. (This is called Hold.)
If you want to use a pedal switch as a hold
pedal, hold down the CANCEL button and
press the NUMBER 1 button before using it
(
PEDAL ASSIGN
(p. 69)).

If you connect an expression pedal (EV-5; sold
separately) to the rear panel PEDAL jack, you
can use the pedal to control the volume,
adding dynamic expression to your
performance.
If you want to use an expression pedal, hold
down the CANCEL button and press the
NUMBER 6 button before using it (

* Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-5; sold separately). By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing
malfunction and/or damage to the unit.

Changing the sensitivity of the D Beam controller
If you’re performing under strong direct sunlight or strong artificial illumination, the D Beam controller will
be less sensitive.
In such cases, hold down the FILTER/ASSIGN button located below the D Beam controller and press one of
the NUMBER buttons (1–8) located immediately above the keyboard to change the sensitivity of the D Beam
controller.
The sensitivity setting is indicated by the number of NUMBER buttons that are lit red when you hold down
the FILTER/ASSIGN button. The more NUMBER buttons that are lit red, the higher the sensitivity setting.
Pressing a higher-numbered NUMBER button will increase the sensitivity.
