  • Cutoff Freq.

Changes the sound by filtering out frequencies above a certain point (the cutoff frequency). The higher the setting, the brighter the sound becomes. The lower the setting, the darker/duller the sound quality becomes.

  • Resonance

Adjusts the gain applied to frequencies around the cutoff frequency. The higher the value, the more distinct the sound around the cutoff frequency.

  • Attack Time

The time from when the note starts until it reaches its maximum volume (rise time) after a key is pressed. The larger the value, the slower the rise.

  • Release Time

The time it takes for a note to fade out after the key has been released. The higher the value, the longer the fade out time.

  • Vibrato Rate

The speed of the vibrato.

  • Vibrato Depth

The depth of the vibrato pitch swing.

  • Delay Vibrato Time

The delay between the start of the sound and the beginning of the vibrato effect.

  • Portamento Time

The portamento glide time.

Upper1, Upper2, Lower Common

  • Octave Shift

Changes the keyboard range in increments of one octave. You can shift the range two octaves up or down from the original range.

  • Part Fine Tuning

This allows you to vary the tuning very slightly up or down by a semitone or less.

  • Expression/Assignable Pedal

Switches the Expression/Assignable pedal ON/OFF. Connecting the supplied pedal (SP-3/SP-20) or a commercially available expression pedal to the instrument and switching it ON allows you to adjust parameters such as volume and tempo.

For more information on the expression pedal connection method and functions, refer to the User’s Guide for your musical instrument.

  • Pedal Unit

Switches the pedal unit ON/OFF. Connecting the pedal unit (three-pedal, optional) to your musical instrument and switching it ON provides pedal expression that more closely matches the grand piano experience.

  • Control Button : Modulation

Switches the control button ON/OFF. When switched ON, the sound is modulated.

  • Pitch Bend Wheel

Switches the pitch bend wheel ON/OFF. Enabling the pitch bend wheel allows you to smoothly raise and lower the pitch of the tone that is currently sounding.
