About the Reset and Off Buttons
Regardless of the selected mode, you find two buttons labeled “Off” and “Reset” at
the top of the control panel:
• Clicking the Off button sets all controls to their lowest value, without sending out
any MIDI messages.
• Clicking the Reset button sets all parameters to their default values, and sends out
the corresponding MIDI messages.
For most parameters, the default values are zero or “no adjustment”, but there are
exceptions to this. For example, the default “Send 1” setting is 64.
GS 1
The following controls are available when the GS 1 Controls mode is selected:
XG 1
The following controls are available when the XG 1 mode is selected:
XG 1 Effect sends and various sound control parameters for use with
instruments compatible with the Yamaha XG standard.
XG 2 Global settings (affecting all channels) for instruments compatible
with the Yamaha XG standard.
Control Description
Send 1 Send level for the reverb effect.
Send 2 Send level for the chorus effect.
Send 3 Send level for the “variation” effect.
Attack Adjusts the attack time of the sound. Lowering the value shortens the
attack, while raising it gives a slower attack. Middle position (64)
means no adjustment is made.
Decay Adjusts the decay time of the sound. Lowering the value shortens the
decay, while raising it makes the decay longer.
Release Adjusts the release time of the sound. Lowering the value shortens
the release, while raising it makes the release time longer.
Cutoff Adjusts the filter cutoff frequency.
Resonance Adjusts the filter resonance.
Express Allows you to send out expression pedal messages on the track’s
MIDI channel.
Ch. Press Allows you to send out aftertouch (channel pressure) messages on
the track’s MIDI channel. This is useful if your keyboard cannot send
aftertouch, but you have sound modules that respond to aftertouch.
The default value for this parameter is zero.
Breath Allows you to send breath control messages on the track’s MIDI
channel.
Modul. Allows you to send modulation messages on the track’s MIDI channel
(just as you normally do with a modulation wheel on a MIDI keyboard).
Control Description
Send 1 Send level for the reverb effect.
Send 2 Send level for the chorus effect.
Send 3 Send level for the “variation” effect.
