ZONE ON/OFF Buttons
The ZONE ON/OFF buttons allow you to turn each of the 4 Zones on or off. When a Zone
is on, the corresponding button is lit, and you can hear the Program in the Zone. When a
Zone is off, the corresponding button is not lit, and the Program in the Zone is silent. Press
each Zone button to turn each Zone on or off.
TRANSPOSE Buttons
The TRANSPOSE buttons can be used to change the tuning of notes played on the SP6
keyboard in semitones (also known as half steps). This is a convenient way to change the key
of a song without learning to play it in a different key.
The current transpose amount is shown in the LCD display (for example, the default is
“Xp:0st”). Press both TRANSPOSE buttons simultaneously to reset the transposition to 0.
The TRANSPOSE buttons also transpose MIDI notes sent to the USB and MIDI Out ports.
PITCH WHEEL
Use the PITCH WHEEL to perform pitch bends. The Bend Up and Bend Down amount
can be adjusted for each Zone in Multi Edit Mode.
MODULATION WHEEL
Use the MODULATION WHEEL to vary the modulation amount. The MODULATION
WHEEL will perform an assigned modulation for the Program in each Zone. The name and
value of the current assignment for each Zone is shown in the LCD display when the wheel
is moved. The modulation amount can be adjusted for each Zone in Multi Edit Mode.
VARIATION Button
Pressing the VARIATION button will perform an assigned variation for the Program in each
Zone. The name of the current assignment for each Zone is shown in the LCD display when
the button is pressed. The VARIATION button can be enabled or disabled for each Zone in
Multi Edit Mode.
The VARIATION button has two states, off (not lit) and on (lit). The VARIATION button
will typically modify the sound by adding an orchestral string section or synth pad layer, or
enabling an effect.
