Overview
First Orientation
There are various devices available to operate your instrument and to display its current settings:
1. Push Buttons
2. Drawbars
3. Controls & Wheels (Pitch & Modulation Wheels)
4. The Data/Tempo Wheel (Top Right near the TFT Screen)
5. The TFT Display Screen
The first four items correspond to buttons and controls that can be found on other instruments, they are useful for
quick changes or to adjust certain parameters while playing.
The TFT screen is combined with a ‘Touch Screen, i.e it does not only display information, but you may also ‘touch
buttons’ that are graphically displayed on the screen (similar to clicking a button with a mouse on a PC). Sometimes
‘virtual controls’ like sliders are displayed on the screen that you can move by touching the screen. Other such virtual
controls include ‘value boxes’ where you can touch them, and use either the DATA / TEMPO WHEEL or (The TRANS -
POSE Buttons) to change the values of the parameters.
NOTE: As your instrument contains a PC, it is actually possible to connect an external mouse in order to
control actions with ‘Mouse Clicks’, and ‘Mouse Drags’. You can also connect a normal PC keyboard to your
instrument too.
The push buttons are grouped on three panels according to their function: To the left of the TFT Display are the ‘Total
Preset’ push buttons, the ‘Sound Selector’ push buttons for the Upper, Lower & Pedal sections as well as the Style /
Rhythm section buttons for choosing accompaniment types. Below the Style / Rhythm panel on the left hand side, you
will also find the instruments ‘Rhythm Control’ Push Buttons.
To the right of the main display you will find the ‘Transposer’ push buttons and then finally the ‘Sound Groups’ push
buttons (and also on the far right, the ‘Power On / Off’ push button).
Each push button has an integrated LED. In order to turn on a specific function or choose a setting, hold down the cor -
responding push button for a moment. In most cases, when an LED is on, this indicates that the function associated
with the push button is active. By pressing the button again, the function is normally deactivated.
