Setting Up
MANUAL BASS, PEDAL SUSTAIN
e PEDAL part may be played on the low part of the keyboard using the MANUAL
BASS function.
A popular option for playing the Pedals or Manual Bass is Pedal Sustain, which allows
the Pedal voice to smoothly decay upon release, much in the manner of a string bass.
[M. BASS] button
To engage the Manual Bass function, press the [M. BASS] button (light ON).
If you have the keyboard SPLIT, the Manual Bass will sound in tandem with the chosen
LOWER registration.
If you have a MIDI keyboard attached as the LOWER keyboard, the MANUAL BASS
will appear there, on the lowest notes.
e default range of the MANUAL BASS is up to the middle “B”.
NOTE: You can change the highest note range of the MANUAL BASS (P. 106 #2).
NOTE: You can select the MANUAL BASS play chords or only the lowest note (P. 106 #1).
[P. SUS] button
To engage the PEDAL SUSTAIN, press the [P. SUS] button (light ON).
After releasing a key on Pedal keyboard (if attached) or, releasing a Manual key while
using the Manual Bass function, the sound will slowly fade, or decay.
NOTE: You can control the decay time of the Pedal Sustain (P. 69 #16).
COUPLER
Like the Manual Bass, the function to set a key-
board to play two keyboards together is called
“COUPLER”.
