Introduction

Eight flexible assignable controllers

Two new assignable wheels with switches located at the left side, four assignable sliders with switches
on the front panel, an assignable pedal jack and an assignable pedal switch provide a total of eight
assignable controllers.
MIDI messages such as control changes can be assigned freely.

Seven different sets of frequently-used control settings such as tuning and pitch bend range can be stored.
In addition, various functions of the SGproX itself (volume, effect depth, brightness etc.) can be assigned
freely for control.

Superb operability

An ergonomically designed panel layout guarantees smooth operation.

Sixteen direct select switches allow one-touch selection of sound programs such as piano, electric piano
or organ, and Performances.

A large, 2 by 20 character, backlit LCD provides unsurpassed visual information.

A five-band graphic equalizer allows you to emphasize the beautiful spacious sound of the piano to give
it even greater impact.

A single/layer/split select switch lets you smoothly change the performance mode even while you play.

Many functions and parameters of Program Edit, Performance Edit and Global modes are indicated
directly on the front panel.

Dedicated sliders and switches are provided for the equalizer and effects, putting easy and intuitive
adjustment of the sound at your fingertips.
