SETTING THE CONTROLLERS
The best way to understand what all of this means is to try an example. Once you've done that you'll see what
we mean!
In the LCD, [CONTROLS] parameters are presented in five fields: one for keyboard selection, layer
selection, controller selection, destination selection and finally for a depth value:
2 3
5 4
1
OK, suppose you want to be able to control the pitch of Tone 1 in the Upper manual using the USER [1]
slider. (First be sure you have a Tone 1 sound selected otherwise you won't hear anything.) Here's what you
do:
Ê
Press the [CONTROLS] button.
Ë With the [++] and [--] buttons, select 'Upr' (the keyboard) in the first field.
Ì
Press [NEXT] to move to the next field. With the [++] and [--] buttons, select 'Tone 1' (the layer).
Í Press [NEXT] to move to the next field. With the [++] and [--] buttons, select 'User 1' (the controller).
Î
Press [NEXT] to move to the next field. With the [++] and [--] buttons, select 'Pitch' (the destination).
Ï With the [+] button, set the value to '12' (the maximum value). (This will really show the effect well!)
Now, as you play the Upper manual (with Tone 1 selected), move the USER [1] slider in and out. You
should hear the pitch of Tone 1 rise and fall as you do.
Note that some of the fields allow you to select all the available options (such as all the controllers or all the
layers). If you select 'All' in more than one field, the value field may display a series of question marks
('????'). This just means that the values for all of the selected options are different from one another. As you
start to assign a new value, it will be displayed in the value field because all of the values will be reset to this
new value.
For a complete list of the all the [CONTROLS] parameters and their functions, please refer to page 124.
Note: The 'Rotary S/F' switchable destination and the 'Seq Volume' and 'Drum Volume' mappable
destinations are global in nature. In other words, they work the same regardless of the settings of the
Keyboard or Layer fields. Also note that the 'MIDI' layer is the external sound module controlled by the
UPPER, LOWER and BASS [MIDI] buttons. Some controls may require a GS Format sound module before
you can hear the results.
