Adding Articulation Effects to Super Articulation Voices, Using the Modulation Wheel

Page 40 highlights

Using the Modulation Wheel The Modulation function applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. By default, this is applied to the keyboard parts (RIGHT 1-3 and LEFT). Moving the MODULATION wheel down (toward you) decreases the depth of the effect, while moving it up (away from you) increases it. NOTE Depending on the selected Voice, the MODULATION wheel may control volume, filter or some other parameter instead of vibrato. NOTE To avoid accidentally applying modulation, make sure the MODULATION Wheel is set at minimum (down) position before you start playing. You can set whether the effects caused by the MODULATION Wheel will be applied or not to each of the keyboard part: [FUNCTION]  [D] CONTROLLER  TAB [][] KEYBOARD/PANEL  [A]/[B] 3 MODULATION WHEEL. NOTE The effects caused by using the MODULATION wheel may not be applied to the LEFT part during Style playback depending on the Style setting. Adding Articulation Effects to Super Articulation Voices With the [ART. 1]/[ART. 2] buttons, you can add articulation effects and characteristic instrument performance sounds to your playing. When you select a SA or SA2 Voice, the [ART. 1] and/or [ART. 2] buttons may light in blue. Pressing a lit button adds articulation. (Pressing a button which is not lit has no effect.)

You can effectively intersperse these into the notes as you play. While the articulation effect sounds, the button lights in red. Articulation Sound Blue Red 40 Tyros4 Owner's Manual

Using the Modulation Wheel
The Modulation function applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. By
default, this is applied to the keyboard parts (RIGHT 1–3 and LEFT). Moving the MODU-
LATION wheel down (toward you) decreases the depth of the effect, while moving it up
(away from you) increases it.
You can set whether the effects caused by the MODULATION Wheel will be applied or
not to each of the keyboard part: [FUNCTION]
[D] CONTROLLER
TAB [

KEYBOARD/PANEL
[A]/[B] 3 MODULATION WHEEL.
With the [ART. 1]/[ART. 2] buttons, you can add articulation effects and characteristic
instrument performance sounds to your playing. When you select a SA or SA2 Voice, the
[ART. 1] and/or [ART. 2] buttons may light in blue. Pressing a lit button adds articulation.
(Pressing a button which is not lit has no effect.)
Three examples of effects are introduced to the following.
Example 1
Pressing the available [ART] button triggers different playing effects, separate from your
keyboard playing. For example, pressing the [ART] button for a SA saxophone Voice can
produce breath noise or key noise, while doing the same for a SA guitar Voice can produce
fret noise or body-tapping sound. You can effectively intersperse these into the notes as
you play.
While the articulation effect sounds, the button lights in red.
Depending on the selected Voice, the
MODULATION wheel may control vol-
ume, filter or some other parameter
instead of vibrato.
To avoid accidentally applying modula-
tion, make sure the MODULATION
Wheel is set at minimum (down) posi-
tion before you start playing.
The effects caused by using the MODU-
LATION wheel may not be applied to the
LEFT part during Style playback
depending on the Style setting.
