Setting the Parameters
61
NOTE: The parameters by the names with (P) on the tail are Preset Parameters, and are
recorded to each Combination Preset. (G) is for “Global”. These parameters will be
recorded when set, and are common in each Combination Preset.
DAMPER
The word “Damper” comes from the damper
pedal of the piano.
The piano stops sounding when you release your
finger from the key. This is because of the
damper system. While you hold the damper
pedal, the system does not work and so it keeps
sounding even after you release the key.
SPRING REVERB
The Spring Reverb is a reverb effect to obtain the
reverberation using the spring resilience. It was
easily affected by a shock and it used to give a
big “clang”.
However, this drawback has come to be used as
an effect in the genre of progressive rock. This
keyboard gives the simulated sound.
TIP AND RING
When you look at the plug of the stereo
headphones, there are 3 metal parts. The head
portion is called “Tip” and the middle portion is
the “Ring”. And the part on the cord side is
called “Sleeve”.
The ordinary foot-switch has only the Tip and
the Sleeve, but the footswitch with two switches
in one plug or two footswitches using the L/R
converting cable can be connected.

LESLIE S/F MOM:
