SUSTAIN
Unlike synthesizer nomenclature, on the SKX “Sus-
tain refers to note decay after note release. On a
synth envelope generator this setting would be
called “T4” or “Release”.
NOTE: All the parameters in these pages are
Patch Parameters. They are recorded
into the Patch.
ZONE
The “ZONE” in these pages sets sounding range
for each part of the Organ section which from -2C
to 8G. It comes from range of MIDI note numbers.
The internal sound engine of the SKX receives all
the MIDI note number against internal keyboards
which has 5 octave, 1C to 6C.
There are more “ZONE”, Internal Zones and External
Zones. See page 106 for details.

SETTING THE PEDAL PART
ORGAN TYPE
Set the Organ Type for the Pedal part.
Normal: The traditional Tone Wheel sound of the B-3/C-3.

is allows you to set the Pedal Attack Rate and the Key-Click Volume at ‘attack
and ‘release’.
MAX CLK: Immediate attack and the key-click is loud.
NORM CLK: Immediate attack and the key-click is normal.
SOFT CLK: Immediate attack and the key-click is soft.
NO CLK: A slightly slower attack without key-click.
SLOW: Slow attack without key-click.
DECAY RATE
is allows you to determine whether the Pedal voice remains at the same volume as
a note is held, or if the voice decays, as like a plucked string.
e setting range is 1(short) - 5(long) and C(continuous).
SUSTAIN LENGTH
is allows you to set the Release Rate (= the decay time after key release), when the
[PEDAL SUSTAIN] button is ON.
e setting range is 1(short) - 5(long).
NOTE: You can locate this page by holding down the [PEDAL SUSTAIN] button as well.
VELOCITY
is allows you to set the response to the Velocity.  e setting range is OF and 1 -
4. At OF, the volume does not change however hard you play the key. As the value
increases from 1 - 4, the sounds gets louder even if the key is played softly.
KEY MODE
is allows you to set the Pedal polyphony.
MONO: If multiple notes are played, only the lowest note will sound.
POLY: Up to 8 notes will play simultaneously.
LAST: The last note you played will sound.
When using Manual Bass (P. 32), the PEDAL part sounds its own mode (P. 110 ) regard-
less of the setting of this parameter.
PEDAL ZONE - OCTAVE
