The
TOUCH BARS
are the black strips below the lower keyboard that are divided at the third F# key. Each
side has a different factory preset function that is activated with just a touch. A selection of
21
functions plus
the Next Preset feature may be assigned to either Touch Bar.
The Touch Bars are touch sensitive and are activated with to the touch of a finger.
The factory preset function of the
LEFT TOUCH BAR
is the
FX
feature.
The factory preset function of the
RIGHT TOUCH BAR
is the
GLIDE/SUSTAIN
feature.

In addition to being used to play the bass sounds, the
PEDALS
can have different functions assigned to them,
just like the Left and Right Foot Switches and the Left and Right Touch Bars.
The
PEDALS
give the player wanting to play their own bass sounds a two octave range. Pressing off the
orange Bass Sustain tab allows the player to play two pedals at once. The orange Bass tabs provide a wide
variety of sounds to play on the Pedals.
If you do not play the pedals that’s okay. There are Lowrey easy play features that make you sound great!
See page 8,
PEDAL MAGIC
, to see how anyone can play pedals on a Lowrey.
See page 52,
AUTO BASS
, to see how the bass pedals are played for you automatically.
You can assign features like FX and NC (No Chord) or play Sound Effects with them.
All of the Pedals can have a function assigned to them, with no sounds being playable, or the left half of the
Pedals can remain playable, as normal, while the right half is assigned a different function.
Any of the long (Natural) pedals can have one function assigned to them and any of the short (Black) ped-
als can have a different function assigned to them. For example, the Natural pedals can have the Crash
Cymbal sound. Pressing any of the Natural pedals, above the Pedal Split point, would produce the sound of
the Crash Cymbal.
The
PEDALS
, just like the Lower Keyboard, can be split to provide access to two separate functions.

You may also disable the pedals altogether by simply pressing the
PEDALS OFF
button located next to the
POWER
button.
