Playing and controlling the sound
Playing the keyboard
The instrument’s keyboard is like a piano keyboard. Just play it!
With some Sounds, you can press the keys while they are already down, and the
sound might vary (for example, you might hear more vibrato).
Using the pedals
Pedals do dierent things depending on how they are programmed. The Damper
pedal is precisely that – a damper pedal, sustaining notes until you release the
pedal. The Assignable pedal (or footswitch) may change depending on how it is
programmed in the Settings > Menu > Controllers > Foot page.
Using the control sliders and buttons
Depending on the selected mode, the CONTROL sliders and buttons can control
dierent things, like volume levels of the dierent sounds, the organ drawbars
or some assignable functions. How they work is shown by the strip display under
the sliders.
Using the assignable switches
Depending on the chosen Keyboard Set and the assigned functions, these control-
lers can do dierent things. With the DNC Sounds, the switches can either ‘book’ a
function, that will be triggered while playing, or enable (or disable) it by pressing
the button to ‘toggle’ it. In other cases, these switches can ‘toggle’ or ‘trigger’ the
assigned function.
