Notes on using Solo • The knee lever can be used to control other functions, such as switching Sustain. When other functions are assigned to the knee lever, pressing knee lever turns these functions on at the same time. • Pressing the knee lever while holding down a key will not turn Solo off for that key. Solo remains active until the next key is played after pressing the knee lever. • Lead Voices 1 and 2 sound only the highest note if two or more keys are played. However, in the Solo mode, Lead Voice 2 sounds for the last key played. Reference Page Knee Lever (page 182) Reference Page Voice Condition Display (page 39) ELS-01/01C Owner's Manual 27
