Turn the tone stops on or off.
For the tone stops, a type of instrument sound like the one 
shown on the panel will play at the specified octave. Add these 
tone stops to create your sound. The sounds and octaves are 
listed below.

BASS 16, STRINGS 16, FLUTE 8, OBOE 8, TRUMPET 8, STRINGS 
8, FLUTE 4, PICCOLO 4, STRINGS 4 

1

Press the PERC/MTB button to turn MTB off. (The button 
will go dark.)

2

Touch one of the four LEDs on the lower side to turn them 
on (the four LEDs on the bottom will light). 
Touch one of the four LEDs on the top side to turn them on 
(the four LEDs on the top will light).

The following diagram shows the pitches for each tone stop 
when pressing C4 on the keyboard.

When MTB is on, the tone stop settings will be disabled, and 
the Multi-Tone Booster will be applied to the sound.

1

Press the PERC/MTB button to turn MTB on. (The button 
will light.)

2

Use the three touch sensors on the left side to turn 

MTB 16', 

MTB 8', MTB 4'

 on or off. 

The touch sensor on the right side (MTB Amount) adjusts 
the MTB 

level

, or the amount of the MTB effect.

KEY/LAYER

This controls the volume of the KEY/LAYER variation sound. 
Each sensor controls the following parameters.
Refer to page 9 for how to use the touch sensors.

Note: 

The settings shown here are saved when a scene is 

saved.

Amp EG

Adjusts the amp EG of the variation. This sets how the volume 
will change over time.

(1) ATTACK

Sets whether the sound will reach full volume right after a note 
is played, or whether the sound will gradually fade in.

(2) DECAY

Sets the decay of the sound following the attack time.

(3) RELEASE

Sets how long it takes for the sound to fade to silence after 
note-off (releasing a key).

Filter

(4) CUTOFF

This cuts off the frequency range that you specify, such as the 
high or low end of the sound.
For instance, you can use a low-pass filter to vary the 
brightness of the sound. Making the normal value smaller will 
produce a darker sound, and making the value larger will 
produce a brighter sound.

Note: 

The filter differs for each variation.

(5) RESONANCE

This emphasizes the frequencies around the cutoff frequency.
When the value is 0, there is no emphasis, and frequencies 
beyond the cutoff will simply diminish smoothly.
At medium settings, the resonance will make the sound more 
nasal, or more extreme. At very high settings, the resonance 
will sound like a whistling pitch.
