*MENU* - For adding Pedal Sustain
1. Touch and hold the PEDAL SUSTAIN Touch Button. Doing this will "shortcut" the display into the PEDAL
SUSTAIN parameters.
In this screen, use the PAGE LEFT and PAGE RIGHT Touch Buttons to move back and forth among the parameters,
which are described below.
“DCY” adjusts the decay of the pedal note as you hold the key . Use the VALUE Rotary Knob to select. At “1” The
decay is shortest, like a plucked string. As you progress to “5” the decay grows longer. At the last setting “C," the
sound is continuous like a normal organ note, no decay.
“SUS” adjusts the decay after you lift the note. Use the VALUE Rotary Knob to select “1” (Shortest) to “5”
(Longest).
“VEL” refers to the fact that the Pedal tones can sound with Velocity when they are being triggered by a MIDI
keyboard which can send Velocity data. For more information about this parameter, consult the Owner's Playing
Guide.
To return to PLAY Mode, touch the PLAY Touch Button and proceed.
NOTE! This is a “Patch Parameter." This means the changes here must be saved into a Patch if you wish to use
them again, unless you’re using it inside one of the Adjust Presets (A# or B).
We will cover “Saving” Presets in the next few pages
