• FULL UPPER button
One or two tracks (Upper 1 and/or Upper 2) play on
the entire keyboard.
9 KEYBOARD ASSIGN section
These buttons select the realtime tracks (Upper 1,
Upper 2, Lower) in the Arrangement Play and Back-
ing Sequence modes. The Upper 2 and Lower are
alternative, one excludes the other on the keyboard.
10 VOCAL/GUITAR section
The VOCAL/GUITAR section applies effects to the
signal of a microphone, a guitar or a line source
(mono) coming to the INPUT-IN connector. The sig-
nal is then mixed with the sound of the internal
sound generation and sent to the OUTPUT outlets.
In Vocal mode it harmonizes the voice with the notes
received over the MIDI channel dedicated to har-
monisation. According to the factory settings, the
notes are received over channel 5.
The VOCAL/GUITAR section works in the Arrange-
ment Play, Backing Sequence and Song Play modes.
The settings are saved in the Keyboard Set. See “The
Vocal/Guitar section” on page 39.
• VOLUME knob
It controls the level of the VOCAL/GUITAR section
on the OUTPUT outlets.
• SIGNAL led
The SIGNAL led changes color according to the sig-
nal level. If it is off, there is no signal or the signal
level is very low. If it is green the signal is present. If
it is orange, the signal is close to saturation. If it is
red, the signal is saturated.
Warning: The signal cannot be saturated. If the led is
red, adjust the input gain with the GAIN knob in the
control panel.
• A/B switch button
It selects the operating mode of the A/B switch
between A and B.
• A/B knob
Programmable knob. It controls the value of the
parameter assigned to the A or B function (see
page 65). The A or B operating mode can be selected
with the A/B switch button.
Note: The knob does not work until the last value of
the controlled function is reached. For example, if the
knob is on “0” and the current parameter value is “5”,
the knob will not work until it reaches “5”.
• C button
Programmable button. It can act as “mute” for the
VOCAL/GUITAR section, the effects or the harmon-
isation.
Note: When you turn the instrument on, the VOCAL/
GUITAR section is deactivated. Select one of the Key-
board Sets to activate it. If you have connected a micro-
