ACTIVATE EFFECTS
1 Make sure the first program (Royal Grand 3D) is selected.
2 Activate the reverb by pressing the Reverb ON button.
3 Adjust the DRY/WET balance with the knob above the reverb
selector.
4 Activate the delay effect by pressing the DELAY ON/OFF button.
5 The LEDs above the button indicate which sound engine is routed
to the effect; PIANO or SYNTH. Press SHIFT and the Delay SOURCE
button so that the PIANO LED is lit, if it is not already.
 Double-clicking the On Off / Source button is a shortcut for quickly
changing the source for any effects unit.
6 Try the TEMP, FEEDBACK and DRY/WET controls, to alter the charac-
ter and intensity of the Delay effect.
LAYER WITH SAMPLE SYNTH
1 Turn ON the Sample Synth section.
2 Turn the SAMPLE SELECT dial and select a string sound from the
Sample bank. The location and name of the sample are shown at
the bottom of the display.
3 Use the LEVEL control to set an appropriate sound level for the
strings.
When a sample is selected, preset settings for the Sample Synth enve-
lope (Attack, Decay/Sustain/Release), Dynamics and Filter settings are
also loaded. These parameters can subsequently be adjusted manually
as desired. Descriptions of these controls are found in the Sample Synth
reference chapter, starting on page 16.
CREATE A SPLIT
1 Make sure that both the Piano and Sample Synth sections are
turned on.
2 Press the KBD SPLIT button, located in the top row above the
Program area display. There are two configurations to choose
from: PNO/SYNT and SYNT/PNO. In this case set it to Pno/Synt.
This means that the Piano sound is placed at the left side of the
keyboard with the Sample Synth sound to the right.
3 To adjust the position of the Split point, hold down Shift and press
the KBD SPLIT button.
4 There are two settings for the split point; position and width. Make
sure that the Position setting is focused (by pressing the Pos soft
button) and set the split point to C4 using the dial.
The keyboard is now divided into two zones, the split point being indi-
cated with a green LED above the keyboard.
Feel free to use the OCTAVE UP/DOWN controls in the Piano and Sample
Synth section for accessing different ranges of the respective sounds.
SET UP A SPLIT CROSS-FADE (SPLIT WIDTH)
As a final step, let’s adjust the split point so that the split Piano and
Sample Synth sounds will transition gradually between one another:
5 Again, hold down SHIFT and press the KBD SPLIT button, located in
the top row above the Program area display.
6 Press the Width soft button. The Split width for each split point can
now be adjusted.
7 Set the width value to “Lrg” (large) by turning the dial. Let go of the
KBD SPLIT button.
Playing across the Split point will now “cross-fade” between the lower
and the upper sound. Note that the split LED above the keyboard is lit
with a red light, indicating that a large split width is being used. With a
small width the LED will be yellow, and with width set to “off” the LED
will be green.
