NOTE • For certain Voices, the sustain effect may not be obvious or audible, even when the panel sustain function is turned on.

These range from reverb-like ambience effects to distortion and other dynamic processing tools that let you enhance the sound, or completely transform it.

The [DSP] button lights indicating that DSP is on. To turn DSP off, press the [DSP] button again. Hold for longer than a second DSP Type [DSP] button lights when DSP is on. NOTE • When DSP is turned on, the optimum DSP type for the current Voice is automatically selected. • The volume of the currently playing Voice changes when turning DSP on or off. This is not a malfunction. The amount of change differs depending on the selected Voice. • The DSP type is an overall setting-only one type can be selected. For this reason, when you play a newly loaded Song or Style, for example, the currently playing Voices may not sound as expected. This is normal, since the Song or Style has its own DSP type which replaces any selection you've made before loading.
