Parameters Assigned to the LIVE CONTROL Knobs
This section describes each of the parameters which can be assi
g
ned to the LIVE CON-
z
RIYAZ
Knob A: BALANCE 1
Adjusts the volume balance between the sounds of
Tabla/Mridangam 1 and 2.
Knob B: BALANCE 2
Adjusts the volume balance between the sounds of
Tabla/Mridangam and Tanpura.
x
RIYAZ
Knob A: TEMPO
Adjusts the tempo of Tabla/Mridangam playback
while the Tanpura playback tempo is maintained. This
follows typical Indian music stylistic conventions.
Knob B: KEY
Raises or lowers the pitch of the Riyaz sound in semi-
tones, with the exception of Tabla 1/Mridangam. This
accurately simulates the characteristics of the Tabla,
in which the lower sound is not affected by the tuning.
Note that also the pitch of Tabla 2 may not be changed
depending on the Riyaz pattern.
c
FILTER
Filter effects shape the sound by allowing only a spec-
ified range of frequencies to pass and/or by producing
a resonance peak at the filter’s “cutoff” frequency. Fil-
ter effects can be used to create a range of synthesizer-
like sounds.
Knob A: CUTOFF
Adjusts the filter’s cutoff frequency, and therefore the
brightness of the sound. Turning the Knob to the left
makes the sound more muffled or darker, while turn-
ing the Knob to the right makes the sound brighter.
Knob B: RESONANCE
Adjusts the amount of Resonance applied at the fil-
ter’s cutoff frequency. Turning the Knob to the right
will increases the Resonance to emphasize the fre-
quencies at the cutoff frequency, and thus “strength-
ens” the perceived effect of the filter.
v
EFFECT
Knob A: REVERB
Reproduces the acoustic ambience of a concert hall or
club. Turning the Knob to the right will increase the
Reverb depth.
Knob B: CHORUS
Produces a layered “multi-instrument” effect. Turning
the Knob to the right will increase the Chorus depth.
b
EG (Envelope Generator)
Envelope Generator effects determine how the level of
the sound varies over time. You can make the attack
faster for a more percussive sound or slower for a vio-
lin-like sound, for example. Or you can lengthen or
shorten the sustain to best match the music you’re
playing.
Knob A: ATTACK
Adjusts the Attack Time (the amount of time it takes
the sound to reach maximum level when a key is
played). Turning the Knob to the right will increase
the Attack Time, thus slowing down the attack rate.
• When Knob B is turned all the way left, only the pitch of the
Tabla 2 sound is raised abruptly by an octave. This is due to a
limitation in this instrument.
• These effects are applied only to the Main/Dual Voices played
on the keyboard.
• Filter effects can sometimes cause distortion in the bass fre-
quencies.
