Applying an Effect by Passing Your Hand Over the D Beam (D Beam Controller)

The D Beam controller can be used simply by waving your hand over it. It can be used to apply various effects, depending on the function that is assigned to it. You can also create effects in which the sound changes instantaneously, in a way that would not be possible by operating a knob or the bender lever.

1.Access the PATCH PLAY screen (p. 21).

2.Choose the function that you want to control from the D Beam controller, and press the D BEAM button for that

function to turn on the D Beam controller.

[TIME TRIP]: Apply the Time Trip effect.	Mode
[TIME]: Apply the time control effect.
[PITCH]: Apply the pitch control effect.
[ASSIGNABLE]: Apply the effect that is specified by each patch.	Patch
By turning [ASSIGNABLE] on, you can apply the effect that is
specified by each patch. In this case, however, unlike the other	in
three functions, simply pressing the button to turn it on will not
apply an effect. You will also need to make matrix control	Playing
settings. Set the matrix control Source to “BEAM-L” or “BEAM-
R,” and specify the parameter to be controlled in Destination.
For details on these settings, refer to “Matrix Ctrl” (p. 38).

3.While playing the keyboard to produce sound, place your hand over the D Beam, and slowly move it up and down.

Effects will be applied to the sound according to the button you pressed in step 2.

4.To turn off the D Beam controller, once again press the button that you pressed in step 2, so its indicator goes out.

•The D Beam controller settings are saved with each patch. This means that you can create patches that contain D Beam settings you like.

•By assigning a MIDI controller number to the D Beam controller, you can use the D Beam to control an external MIDI device that is connected. For details, refer to “Beam” (p. 79).

The usable range of the D Beam controller

The following diagram shows the usable range of the D Beam controller. Waving your hand outside this range will produce no effect.

The D BEAM indicator will light when the D Beam controller is responding. The D BEAM indicator will not light if you are outside the valid range of the D Beam controller.

The usable range of the D Beam controller will become extremely small when used under strong direct sunlight. Please be aware of this when using the D Beam controller outside.
