Ribbon parameters
The RK-100S is equipped with two controllers: a long ribbon controller on the front
of the keyboard for performing various operations and a short ribbon controller
located on the neck for controlling the pitch and modulation with your le hand.
With these parameters, various seings can be specied for the long and short
ribbon controllers.
LONG RIBBON
In this section, you can specify seings for playing scales and controlling the
pitch and lter using the long ribbon controller.
LONG RIBBON SCALE SW [O, On]
This switches the Scale function on/o for the long ribbon controller. When “O”
is selected, no sound will be produced when the long ribbon controller is used.
