Balance Level
When the display reads .BALANCE, you can control the volume of this layer relative to the other layers. The volume of this
layer can be adjusted to be 0 to 12dB softer than an unadjusted layer. The default value is 0dB.
Enter a value in decibels using the numeric button-pad and press ENTR, or use INCR and DECR to change the value in 1
decibel increments. If a value greater than 12dB is entered using the numeric button-pad, the value will be set to 12dB when
ENTR is pressed.
Note that layer balancing is relative. When you raise the volume of a specific layer, you are actually reducing the volume of
the other layers with respect to it. This is done to insure that the K150X’s output gain is always as high as possible.
Pitch Bend Mode
Pitch bending is when the played note rises or falls to another note by a smooth transition, as in Figure 8-2.
Figure 8-2. Pitch Bending.
Assuming that your MIDI controller has a MIDI-assignable continuous controller such as a wheel, knob, or slider, and/or can
transmit key after-touch information, this parameter allows you to choose which combination (if any) of control information
will control the pitch bending for this layer.
The range of the pitch bending is a program-wide parameter and is controlled in the Program Editor. The default values are
+2 semitones for wheel bending, and +1 semitones for key-pressure bending (see Program Editing).
When the display reads .P-MODE, you can choose among four pitch bend control options. Use INCR and DECR to step
through the choices.
Off
Disables the pitch bending capabilities of this layer.
P-Wheel
Only the pitch wheel is selected for pitch bending. Its range is determined by the .P-BEND parameter in the
Program Editor (see Program Editing).
K-Press
Only key pressure is selected for pitch bending, with the amount of bend being proportional to the after-touch
pressure with which you hold the key down. Its range and direction are determined by the .K-BEND parameter in
the Program Editor (see Program Editing).
Both
Both pitch wheel and key pressure bending are enabled.
Chorus Mode
This parameter selects whether chorusing is active in this layer. and specifies how. The switch selected here works in
conjunction with the chorus settings edited with the Chorus Editor (one set of chorus parameters can be defined for each
program).
When the display reads .C-MODE, you can choose among the Chorus switch options. Use INCR and DECR to step through
the available switch options. The default is off.
Off
Chorusing is disabled for this region.
Fixed
Chorusing is enabled in a normal mode; i.e., the chorus detuning will not respond to MIDI key pressure or
modulation wheel signals.
