n The settings above are applied as offsets to the AEG and FEG settings in the Performance Edit mode.

n In addition to above functions, Master Effect related parameters (set in the [PERFORM] → Performance selection → [COMMON] → [F2] OUT/MEF
→ [SF3] MEF display) can be assigned to these four knobs by pressing the [ARP FX] and [EQ] buttons simultaneously. The particular parameters
are assigned to the four knobs can be set in the [UTILITY] → [F4] CTL ASN → [SF5] MEF display.
PAN Determines the stereo pan position of the Performance. [PERFORM] → Performance selection → [EDIT] → [COMMON]

TEMPO Determines the tempo of the Arpeggio assigned to the currently selected
Performance.

RESONANCE Boosts or attenuates the level at the area around the Filter cutoff
frequency.
[PERFORM] → Performance selection → [F5] EG → RESO Page 213
ATTACK Determines the attack time of the sound. For example, you can adjust a
strings Voice so that the sound gradually swells in volume by setting a
slow attack time – simply turn this knob to the right.
[PERFORM] → Performance selection → [F5] EG → ATK (AEG) Page 213
RELEASE
Determines the release time of the sound. Turning the knob to the right sets a
long release time and (depending on the Voice assigned to the selected
