" Control Sliders 1-4 (5-8 / 9-12 / 13-16) These sliders control the volume balance of the sound, by letting you adjust the individual levels of the 16 Parts (1-4 /5- 8 / 9-12 / 13-16), the eight Elements for Normal Parts (AWM2), the eight FM Operators for a Normal Part (FM-X), and eight Keys of the Drum Part, in different ways depending on the conditions of the various buttons. NOTE • If all of the Control Sliders are set to the minimum, you may not hear any sound from the instrument, even when playing the keyboard or a Song. If this is the case, raise all the sliders to a suitable level. • The [MASTER VOLUME] knob controls the overall audio output level of this instrument. On the other hand, the Control Sliders control the level of each Element/Key/Operator of the Parts and the volume for each Part of the Performance as a parameter. Accordingly, the values set via the Control Sliders can be stored as Performance data. # Scene Select [1-4] [5-8] button Selects four SCENE buttons on the panel to use as Scenes 1-4 or Scenes 5-8.
