Quick Guide
Create Original Sounds
The two knobs located in the lower left area of the panel can be used to add variations
to the sound being played, transforming the sound in a variety of musical ways. Filter,
envelope generator, and other effects can be assigned to the two knobs as required. In
this section we’ll explain how effects can be assigned to the knobs, and provide a few
tips for their use.
Repeatedly press the [ASSIGN] button to sequentially select the five effect combinations provided:
z
x
c
v
b
z
... etc. The currently selected combination is shown in the display.
Assigning Effects to the Knobs
• The assignable knob effects
are pre-programmed in the
pairs listed above.
It is not possible to assign
different effect combina-
tions.
•
z
–
c
affect the main and
dual voices only. Split voices
will not be affected. Styles
and songs will also not be
affected.
v
–
b
affect styles only.

Filter
Filter effects shape sound by allowing only a specified range of frequencies
to pass and/or by producing a resonance peak at the filter’s “cutoff” fre-
quency. Filter effects can be used to create a range of synthesizer-like
sounds.
* Filter effects can sometimes cause distortion in the bass frequencies.
