Applying effects to specific acoustic sounds
You can produce richer and more realistic performance expressions by using the D-BEAM controller or a footswitch of a pedalboard (PK-9; sold
separately) to apply various effects to specific acoustic sounds.
If using the D-BEAM controller: Assign “N.Control 1” or “N.Control 2” as the function of the [CONTROLLER] button (p. 25).
If using a footswitch: Assign “N. CONTROL1” or “N. CONTROL2” as the function of the footswitch (L Foot Switch, R Foot Switch) (p.
50).
This unit lets you apply effects to the following acoustic sounds.
