Using the controllers
For split and layered sounds, controllers aside from SW1 and
SW2 can be turned on (enabled) or off (disabled) for each section
(KEYBOARDS or ENSEMBLE; refer to “Other Controls” on
page
14).
Pitch bend wheel
Moving the pitch bend wheel up and down
while playing controls the pitch of notes
played. Moving the wheel up causes the
pitch to rise, while moving the wheel down
causes the pitch to fall.
The wheel will move back to center position when released.
The pitch bend wheel may control other aspects of the sound
besides pitch, depending on the program.
Refer to the program list in the “Sound Name List” for the
functions that are set.
Modulation wheel
Moving the modulation wheel up and down
while playing controls the depth of the
modulation set for each sound. Moving the
wheel up strengthens the effect that is set,
and moving the wheel all the way down
turns the effect off.
The modulation wheel remains in the position where you move
it, and the effect remains the same.
Refer to the program list in the “Sound Name List” for the
functions that are set.
SW1, SW2
These buttons can be turned on or off to control
the sound while you play . The functions that
can be controlled are effectively set for the
sound of each program.
SW1 mainly controls the tone, and SW2 mainly
controls whether the effect is on/off.
Refer to the program list in the “Sound Name
List” for the functions that are set.
Note:
The on and off settings for SW1 and SW2 can be saved
as favorites.
Note:
With split and layered sounds, this can only be used to
control the KEYBOARDS section side.
FOOT CONTROLLERS
You can control the sound of the Grandstage using the foot pedals
connected to each foot controller jack. Note that the polarity and
variable range for each pedal must be adjusted as necessary (refer
to “Calibrating the pedal” on page
17).
DS-1H
EXP-2, XVP-10, XVP
DAMPER jack
Connect the damper pedal (DS-1H) included with the Grandstage.
This is used to make sounds sustain after removing your hands
from the keys, for a piano damper effect.
When connecting the DS-1H pedal, this functions as a half-
damper pedal. This will allow for more delicate damper control
of piano and electric piano sounds on this keyboard.
When a switch-type pedal is connected, the pedal will act as a
damper switch.
SWITCH jack
Connect an optional PS-1, PS-3 or other foot switch (sold
separately) to this jack for on/off switching. This allows you to
switch between favorites, as well as control sounds and effects.
The functions for the foot switches are set in the system settings
(refer to “Foot - Switch (foot switch functions)” on page 17).
The factory-set default settings are front panel and SW2 button
on/off (CC#81).
PEDAL jack
Used to connect an optional XVP-20 or XVP-10 expression/
volume pedal, or an EXP-2 foot controller. This is used to control
the overall volume and effects.
The functions for the foot switches are set in the system settings
(refer to “Foot - Pedal (foot pedal functions)” on page
16).
The pedal is set to control the overall volume of the Grandstage
by factory-set default using expression (CC#1
1).
However, for preloaded programs that include the pedal wah
effect, the pedal is automatically set to control the wow effect.
Some of these programs contain the word “Pedal Wah” in the
name.
