General Guide
You can use controllers (pedals, wheels, knobs, and
sliders) to instantly change the pitch and volume of
notes, the envelope, and other parameters as you
perform (page E-34).
Two targets can be specified for a single controller.
For example, configuring the settings below would
make it possible to change the balance between
layers with a single slider.
Using a Pedal
You can configure a pedal so depressing it sustains a
tone, applies a softening effect, or to change parameters
assigned to the pedal.
The pedal can be configured so its on/off status
causes gradual increase or decrease of sound
volume. For more information, see “On Rate” and
“Off Rate” (page E-35).
You can specify the effect applied by selecting the
following in the Stage Setup Editable Parameters:
Pedal1-2 Edit > Ent. See page E-35 for more
information.
Using the Bender Wheel
The
1
(BENDER) wheel can be configured so it
seamlessly raises or lowers the pitch of notes whenever
it is rotated.
1
(BENDER) wheel operation can change pitch
only within the bend range.
You can configure the bend range of the
1
(BENDER) wheel by configuring the following
settings in the Stage Setup Editable Parameters:
“Bend Range Down”, “Bend Range Up” (page E-32).
Using the Modulation Wheel, Knobs and
Sliders
A
2
(MODULATION) wheel,
3
knobs (K1 through
K4), and
4
sliders (S1) through
9
(S6) can be used to
adjust volume, effects, the elements that make up
tones, and other factors.
You can specify the effect assigned to each of these
controllers using the Stage Setup Editable
Parameters shown below. See page E-35 for more
information.
