Quick Start
Using controllers to modify the sound
Using controllers to modify the sound
This instrument provides a variety of controllers that 
can be used to control the tone, pitch, volume, effects, 
and arpeggiator etc. in realtime while you play.
Joystick
You can use the Lock function of SW 1 or 2 to hold 
the effect even after the joystick is returned to the 
center position. For the procedure, refer to “SW1, 
SW2.”
You can use the joystick as a source for alternate 
modulation or effect dynamic modulation, to con-
trol program parameters or effect parameters.
SW1, SW2
You can use these keys as sources for alternate modula-
tion or effect dynamic modulation to control program 
parameters or effect parameters.
These switches can also be used to switch the octave, to 
turn portamento on/off, or to lock the position of the  
after touch function.
You can specify the way in which the [SW1] and [SW2] 
keys will operate: either Toggle, when the assigned 
function will be switched on/off each time the key is 
pressed, or Momentary, when the assigned function 
will be switched on only as long as you hold down the 
key.
The function of the [SW1] and [SW2] keys can be 
verified for Program mode in the 1.1: Play, Pro-
gram page, or for Combination mode in the 1.1: 
Play, Combination page. (☞p.25)
When you write a program or combination, the 
on/off status of the [SW1] and [SW2] keys is 
saved.
For details on making these settings, refer to 
☞p.103 “Setting the function of [SW1] and [SW2]”.
The Lock function
Joystick
When the [SW1] or [SW2] key function is set to JS X 
Lock, JS+Y Lock, or JS–Y Lock, the sound produced 
by moving the joystick can be held even after the joy-
stick is returned to the center position.
When the [SW1] key is set to JS–Y Lock and is operat-
ing as a Toggle switch, the lock function can be used as 
described in the following example.
1 Move the joystick toward yourself to modify the 
sound.
2 While continuing to hold the joystick toward your-
self, press [SW1] (the [SW1] key LED will light).
The sound at this point will be held.
3 Even if you release the joystick, or move it toward 
yourself once again, the sound will remain 
unchanged from when the [SW1] key was pressed.
This is the “locked” condition. Moving the joystick 
to left or right will produce the normal result.
4 To release the locked condition, press the [SW1] 
key once again.
After touch
When the [SW1] or [SW2] key function is set to AfterT 
Lock, the sound produced by applying pressure to the 
keyboard can be held even after the keyboard is 
released.
When the [SW1] key is set to AfterT Lock and is oper-
ating as a Toggle switch, the lock function can be used 
as described in the following example.
1 After playing a note, apply pressure to the key-
board (after touch). 
The sound will change.
2 While maintaining the pressure on the keyboard, 
press [SW1] (the [SW1] key LED will light).
3 Even when you apply further pressure to the key-
board, the sound at the moment you pressed [SW1] 
key will be held. This is the “locked” condition.
JS(+X): Move the joystick toward the right to apply an 
effect. Normally this is used to control the 
pitch (bend up).
JS(–X): Move the joystick toward the left to apply an 
effect. Normally this is used to control the 
pitch (bend down).
JS(+Y): Move the joystick away from yourself to apply 
an effect. Normally this is used to control the 
oscillator LFO (vibrato).
JS(–Y): Move the joystick toward yourself to apply an 
effect. Normally this is used to control filter 
LFO (wah).
