10. EXPRESSION - SOURCE (G)
Determines what to use for operating the Expression.
PED1(NORM):
Uses V-20R etc.
PED1(REV):
Uses KORG XVP-10 etc.
EXP-100:
Uses EXP-100F etc.
MIDI IN:
Uses the Expression Information received at the keyboard channnel UPPER.
11. EXPRESSION - MONITOR
Displays the present Expression Value. You can find the causes for such troubles as
“no sound”, “non-function” of the Expression Pedal, by checking if the Expression
Value changes normally. Also, this can be a guide when you want to play the “fade in”
from “quiet”.
12. EXPRESSION - MINIMUM LEVEL (G)
It sets the output level when the Expression is minimum.
The setting range is OFF, -60db to 0db. “OFF” makes no sound when the Expression
is minimum, “0dB” does not reduce volume level.
13. EXPRESSION - LIMIT LF (G)
14. EXPRESSION - LIMIT HF (G)
These are for setting the level to maintain for low and high frequencies when the
Expression is minimum.
The setting range is OFF, -60dB to 0dB. This function does not work at “OFF”.
Otherwise the level is maintained even if the Expression is minimum.
15. EXPRESSION - GAIN (S)
This is for adjusting the gain (=range of the change) of the connected expression
pedal.
It sometimes occurs that, even if you press the expression pedal to the full, the
expression value does not reach the maximum value (127), due to the difference of
each expression pedal model from model. In such a case, adjust this parameter for
getting the maximum range of the change.
NOTE: This parameter is a System Parameter. This parameter will be recorded when set.
It is common in each Combination Preset. It is not recorded to the “Setup”.
16. FOOT-SWITCH - 1 DEVICE (G)
This is for deciding which equipment is connected to the Foot-Switch terminal.
PEDAL: for Foot switch.
CU-1: for the Leslie switch CU-1 (= optional).
EXPRESSION LIMIT
One of the human ear’s characteristics is that,
when the volume falls, the sound of high or low
frequency becomes difficult to hear.
On this model, it is rectified. The volume is
maintained above a certain level even when the
volume goes down by using the Expression, in
order to keep the sound of high or low frequency
audible.
The similar function is adopted on most home
audio equipments. It is called the “loudness”
function.
