1.Press the C-7 (MIXER) button.
 This causes the mixer screen to appear.
2.Use the R-17 (u, i) buttons to select the 
mixer parameter you want to change.
 You can select master (MASTER), effect (DSP), 
microphone input (MIC/INST), or a part (A01 through 
A16, B01 through B16). The currently selected setting 
is shown in the line two of the display.
 While a part is selected, you can toggle between Group 
A and Group B by pressing both of the R-17 (u, i) 
buttons at the same time.
3.Use the R-17 (t, y) buttons to move the thick 
brackets (%) to the parameter you want to 
change.
 The parameters that can be configured depend on the 
currently selected setting. For details, refer to the 
sections shown in the table below. When you move the thick brackets (%) to one of the 
setting values of a part parameter, all of the part 
parameter values of the Group (A or B) to which the 
part belongs are indicated by level meter black boxes.
4.Use the dial or R-14 (–, +) buttons to change the 
setting value.
 Pressing the R-14 (–, +) buttons at the same time 
returns a parameter to its initial default setting.
 While the “Part” (part on/off) setting of a part parameter 
is being configured, pressing both of the R-14 (–, +) 
buttons at the same time will change the setting to “Sol” 
(Solo). For details, see “Part Parameters” (page E-43).
5.Repeat steps 2 through 4 as required to 
configure other parameters.
6.To exit the mixer, press the C-7 (MIXER) button 
or the R-15 (EXIT) button.
 This exits the mixer screen.
 While master (MASTER), effect (DSP) or microphone input 
(MIC/INST) is selected in step 2 above for setting, you also 
can perform normal keyboard play (play using layer, split, 
and Auto Accompaniment).
 While an individual part (A01 through A16, B01 through 
B16) is selected in step 2 above for setting, pressing a 
keyboard key will sound only notes of the selected part. All 
other types of performance operations (layer, split, Auto 
Accompaniment, etc.) are disabled.

The tables below show the parameters that can be configured on the mixer screen.
The settings marked with an asterisk (*) in the “Setting Range” column are initial defaults.
MASTER parameters include items for adjusting the volume level, pan position, and other settings that are applied globally to all 
parts.
DSP parameters include DSP-related settings that are applied globally to all parts.
 DSP parameter setting cannot be changed while “on” is selected for the “DSP Disable” effect setting. See “To add the 
chorus effect to sounds” (page E-33) for information about “DSP Disable”. If you want to change DSP parameter 
settings, change the “DSP Disable” setting to “oFF”.

Using the Tone Editor
You can create a user tone by editing one of the built-in preset 
tones.
The preset tones built into this Digital Keyboard consist of a 
number of parameters. To create a user tone, you first recall a 
preset tone (A:001 through K:128) and then modify its 
parameters to change it to your own original tone.
Note that drum set sounds (K:129 through K:147) cannot be 
used as the basis of a user tone.
The illustration nearby shows the parameters that make up 
the preset tones, and what each parameter does. As can be 
seen in the illustration, parameters can be divided into four 
groups, each of which is described in detail below.
Specifies which of the preset tones should be used as the 
original tone.
These parameters control how the tone changes over time, 
from when the keyboard key is pressed until the tone decays. 
You can specify changes in volume and sound 
characteristics.
 Attack time
This is the rate or time it takes for the tone to reach its highest 
volume level. You can specify a fast rate, where the tone 
reaches its highest volume level immediately, a slow rate 
where it gradually rises, or something in between.
 Release time
This is the rate or time it takes for the tone volume to fall to 
zero after a keyboard key is released. You can specify a 
release that ranges from a sudden fall to zero, to one that 
gradually falls to zero.

 Cutoff Frequency
The cutoff frequency is a parameter for adjusting timbre by 
cutting any frequency that is higher than a specific frequency. 
A larger cutoff frequency produces a brighter (harder) timbre, 
while a smaller frequency produces a darker (softer) timbre.
 Vibrato Type, Vibrato Delay, Vibrato Rate, Vibrato 
Depth
These parameters adjust the vibrato effect, which causes 
periodic changes in the tone.
 Octave Shift
This parameter controls the octave of all tones.

This parameter controls the overall volume of the tone.

This parameter controls changes in volume and timbre in 
accordance with the relative amount of pressure applied to 
the keyboard keys. You can specify more volume for stronger 
pressure and less volume or a lighter pressure, or you can 
specify the same volume regardless of how much pressure is 
applied to the keys.
 Reverb Send, Chorus Send, DSP Line , DSP Type, DSP 
Parameters
These parameters control the effects applied to tones.Tone areas numbered L:001 through L:100 are for storage of 
user tones. You can have up to 100 user tones stored in 
memory at one time. You can recall a stored user tone by 
pressing the R-12 ([L] USER TONES) button. See “To select 
a tone” (page E-14).
1.Select the tone you want to edit in order to 
create your user tone.
2.Press the C-8 (TONE EDITOR) button.
 This displays the tone editor screen.
 You can use the R-17 (u, i) buttons to scroll 
between pages.
