EQUALIZ (EQUALIZer)
In this mode, you can adjust the settings for the Equalizer.
An Equalizer is used to adjust the tonal quality. The built-in Equalizer consists of 3
bands and Tone Control. With the 3 bands ranging bass to treble, you can boost or
cut any of them.
To locate this mode:
1. Touch the [MENU/EXIT] button for the MENU, select PAGE C by the [PAGE] button, and
then touch the [2] EQUALIZ button.
2. Or, hold down the [TONE TYPE] button for a while.
1. TONE CONTROL
This is a simulated B-3/C-3 TONE CONTROL. This is a type of tone control for gently
cutting the treble.
The setting range is -9 to +9, and it becomes neutral when set at “0”.
“-1” corresponds to the maximum of the B-3/C-3 tone control, “-5”, the middle, “-9”, the
minimum. The tone control found on the B-3/C-3, it’s value can not be set at “+”, but on
this model it’s possible to boost treble to some extent.
2. GAIN - BASS
3. GAIN - MIDDLE
5. GAIN - TREBLE
This is for doing the Boost/Cut of Bass, Mid-range and Treble respectively.
The setting range is -9 to +9. It gets neutral at 0.
4. FREQUENCY - MIDDLE
This is for setting the Central Frequency to vary at Gain - Middle (3).
The setting range is 480Hz - 2.9kHz.
NOTE: These parameters are Preset Parameters and are recorded to each Combination Preset.
6. TONE - ASSIGN
This sets the function to assign the parameter of each gain: either Bass, Middle or Treble,
and tone control to the [TONE] knob. You can change this while playing.
NOTE: This parameter is the Global Parameter. It is recorded when the value is set. Also, it is
common at each Combination Preset.
PRESET PARAMETERS
Equalizer is a Preset Parameter, designed to ac-
tively use as one of the tone-making parameters.
However, it is not practical to use Equalizer as a
tonal complementary tool to match the location. In
such a case, if you switch OFF the P.LOAD RV/EQ
in the PRESET function mode, the Equalizer value
does not change when the preset is recalled. (P.

THE EFFECTIVE USE OF THE MIDDLE
FREQUENCY
The frequency response of the horn rotor in the
Leslie speaker is not flat. It has a peak from 1kHz
to 3kHz that sensitive range for human ears. The
character is the well-through sound in the band
ensemble.
When you use this keyboard on line out without a
Leslie speaker, you can get the similar effect by
setting the FREQUENCY - MIDDLE to about 2kHz,
and the GAIN - MIDDLE to “+”.
