Moving Your Hand Above the D Beam Controller to Apply Effects

(D Beam Controller)

The D Beam Controller is an easy-to-use controller you can operate just by moving your hand over it. By changing the function assigned to the controller, you can add a variety of different effects to the sound. The controller lets you add effects such as instantaneous changes in tone that are impossible to do with knobs and sliders.

The D Beam Controller is provided under license from Interactive Light, Inc.

When selecting a Single Performance, the effect is applied to the single specified Part (current Part). When a Layer Performance is selected, the effect is applied to all Zones with Local switches set to ON and their linked Parts.

Tone changes made with the D Beam controller can also be sent to an external MIDI device (p. 59).

3.When changing the function to be controlled with the D Beam Controller, hold down [ON] to display the D BEAM CONTROL page, move the cursor to “Assign,” then make the setting.
