TREMOLO

Tremolo is a rapid oscillation in volume, like the effect of a rotating speaker. The tremolo speed can be changed while you are playing.

The tremolo setting is effective for each part in common.

The TREMOLO is disabled if the MULTI EFFECT button is turned ON.

About foot marks

The foot indication (for example 8’) refers to the pitch of a rank of pipes in a pipe organ. If 8’ is used as the standard (the pitch as played on the keyboard), a 16’ rank pitch will be one octave below the 8’ rank pitch, and a 4’ rank pitch one octave above.

When the C key is pressed, the sounds of the different pitch ranks are as follows.

16'

8'

5 1/3 '

4'

2 2/3 '

2' 1 3/5 ' 1 1/3 '
