Here’s how to adjust the overall volume of the SP-555 for
internal processing.
1.
While holding down [CANCEL] and [START/END/
LEVEL], turn the CTRL 3 (LEVEL) knob.
Range: -3 dB, 0 dB, 3 dB, 6 dB, 9 dB, 12 dB
The SP-555 has a maximum polyphony of twelve notes. There
will be a major difference in the volume depending on
whether one note or twelve notes are being produced. If you
are playing only a few pads at a time, or if you have
connected the SP-555 to a DJ mixer or other device, and are
using it as an effects processor, raising this internal processing
level will allow you to output a higher level. If you are playing
a larger number of pads simultaneously and the sound is
distorting, you should lower this internal processing level.
When the power is turned on, this will always be set to 0 dB.
