REALTIME CONTROLS
When you're playing a program or combination,you can use these
to adjust the sound or the effects in real time, or to make simple
edits. You can also adjust settings for external audio input and the
vocoder function, and adjust the tempo of the arpeggiator and
sequencer.
Here's how to use REALTIME CONTROLS to adjust the tempo.
1. Press the SELECT button several times to make the
TEMPO light.
Note: The selection of the SELECT button is saved for each
program, combination, or song.
Tips: By holding down the EXIT button ( ) and pressing
the SELECT button, you can step through the parameters in
reverse order.
2. Turn the KNOB 1 knob to adjust the tempo.
3. You can set the tap tempo by pressing the SWITCH
button. The tempo will be specified when you tap
twice, but you should tap several times for better
precision.
Note: REALTIME CONTROLS can be used when the SELECT
LED is lit. They cannot be used when the LED is unlit.

TONE 1
•VELOCITY
Specifies how the velocity of your keyboard playing
affects the sound.
•CUTOFF
Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the filter. Varies the
brightness of the sound.
• RESONANCE
Adjusts the resonance level of the filter. Raising the filter
resonance level gives a distinctive character to the sound.
TONE 2
•OCTAVE
Raises or lowers the pitch of the entire keyboard in steps
of an octave. With the default setting, the pitch is lowered
one octave.
•ATTACK

This specifies the attack time that starts at note-on.
• RELEASE
Adjusts the envelope release times of the filter and amp.
This specifies the time from note-off until the sound fades
to silence.
EFFECT
•MASTER FX
Turns the master effect on/off.
Note: This is linked with the setting of the Global/Media
mode parameter System- “Effect SW - MFX."
•INSERT FX
Controls the "Wet/Dry" balance of all insert effects.
• MFX2/REVERB

• AUDIO ON/OFF
Selects whether an external audio source connected to the
MIC IN or LINE IN jack will or will not be input.
• GAIN
Adjusts the level at the input stage of the external audio
signal that's being input.
So that the sound does not change suddenly while
you're performing, the GAIN value does not change
until the position of the knob matches the current
value. Once you have turned the knob to the position
of the current value, you can adjust the value.
• MFX2/REVERB
Adjusts the send level at which the external audio signal
that's being input is sent to master effect 2.
For preload sounds, either a reverb-type or a delay-type
effect is assigned to master effect 2. Use this when you
want to apply these effects to the external audio from the
mic input.

• MIC/LINE
Selects the external input jack that is used.

AUDIO ON/OFF or GAIN for AUDIO IN 1.
