Sliders
The ve sliders on the left of the front panel can be assigned to send MIDI continuous
controller values. Each slider can independently control three separate functions giving you
access to 15 MIDI continuous controllers. Think of this as three rows of ve sliders. The
LEDs to the left of the sliders indicate what row is active. Press the Shift button to select a
different row. For example, if you choose or this manual refers to Slider 8, LED 2 will be lit.
The sliders are arranged as follows:
• LED 1 lit, Sliders 1 – 5
• LED 2 lit, Sliders 6 – 10
• LED 3 lit, Sliders 11 – 15
If you select a KB3 Program, the rst nine sliders act like tonewheel organ drawbars the
remaining six sliders can perform other functions. The labeling below the sliders applies to
the KB3 Programs.
Shift Button
The Shift button works in conjunction with the ve sliders. Pressing the Shift button selects
one of the three LEDs directly above it. A lit LED indicates the selected row.
Setup Zone Buttons
Pressing a Zone button will mute or unmute the zone. An active/unmuted Zone button has
a lit LED. The LED of an inactive/muted Zone button is not lit.
Zones are the independent regions of the keyboard that make up a Setup, for additional
information see About Zones on page 7-4.
Sw Button
The Sw button can be programmed to do a variety of functions. In Program Mode, the
Sw button normally enables a pad/strings layer for some piano Programs. In Setup Mode,
program the Sw button to send MIDI CC messages.
