The
VOLUME PEDAL
allows the player to add expression (changes in the volume level) to the music being
played.
The volume level of specific sections is controlled by the individual volume level controls found on the panel
and in the
GRAPHIC MIXER
section. If the overall maximum volume level is too loud, use the
MASTER
buttons in the
GRAPHIC MIXER
to adjust the maximum volume to your liking.
The factory setting for the Glide function is one-half step. Using the Glide lowers the pitch of the note a half
step. Releasing the switch glides the sound back up to the original pitch. The Sterling has the capability of
selecting different glide lengths. For example, the glide could be changed from a half step to an entire
octave. For glide options see
FEATURE PAGE 5 - GLIDE SETTINGS
on page 111.
RIGHT FOOT SWITCH
The
RIGHT FOOT SWITCH
is factory preset to activate the
FX/GOLDEN HARP
feature. It activates a brief fill-
in when a Rhythm Style is playing. If the Golden Harp is playing, pressing the Right Foot Switch silences
the Golden Harp until the switch is released.
Pressing the Right Foot Switch while a Rhythm Style and Golden Harp are playing, at the same time, caus-
es the Golden Harp to be silenced and adds the FX to the Rhythm Style. When the FX is finished the Golden
Harp begins playing and the Rhythm Style returns to normal play.
Both foot switches are capable of having 18 other functions assigned to them. An additional feature called
Next Preset can also be assigned to either of the Foot Switches. This allows you to change from one Preset
to the next without having to lift your hands from the keyboard. See
NEXT PRESET
on page 115.
