function and is distinguished from the others by the letter “H” written under the name. If the Harmony function has already
been applied to a Voice, it will be automatically disabled when the same function is set on another Voice.
A completely different matter is the fourth Voice of a Program: together with harmonization, with the same rules as those
for the other Voices, it can become a Second Voice and therefore enabled or disabled using the 2ND VOICE push button.
To avail of this option, once you have moved onto the fourth Voice, press F10 Harmony twice. The first time it is pressed
the letter “H” will appear under the name of the timbre, the second time it is pressed the Harmony setting is restored and
the fourth Voice is transformed into Second Voice, which will be pointed out by “2nd” under the name.
F2/F7 Volume:
F3/F8 Shift:
F4/F9 Tune:
F5/F10 Pan:
This indicates the value of the volume for each single Voice that can be varied using the VALUE +/- push buttons which, if
pressed together at the same time, will set the value to zero.
This is the transposition value in semitones (+/- 63) that can be modified using the VALUE +/- push buttons which, if pressed
together at the same time, will set the value to zero.
This is the fine tuning value (+/- 63 steps corresponding to one semitone), that can be modified using the VALUE +/- push
buttons which, if pressed together at the same time, will set the value to zero.
This is the Pan pot value on the stereo front (+/- 64) that can be modified using the VALUE +/- push buttons which, if pressed
together at the same time, will set the value to zero. Zero corresponds to the middle position.

The second page is used to set the entity of the effects for the single Voices. For all four Voices the Send for the Reverb is always available
whereas the other parameters available depend on the type of algorithm selected for the Effect which, in this case, can work as a multi-effect
unit with distortion, chorus and delay algorithms combined in five different ways. When the Effect is enabled on a Voice, the musician must also
establish which algorithm of the multi-effect must that Voice use. The choice of the type of multi-effect is made using the CURSOR +/- push
buttons and the combination of algorithms is shown directly on the display via which the musician can find out which algorithms are set in
series (the output of the first enters in the second effect) or in parallel (the output of the effect goes directly to the audio output). Let’s take
this combination as an example:
Delay > Chorus ⏐Chorus
In this case there are two effects set in parallel with each other, namely:
1- Delay > Chorus
2- Chorus
with two effects in series with each other where a Delay enters in a Chorus.
If this multi-effect should be selected, there would be two selection possibilities in the Effect parameter: Delay > Chorus and Chorus.
The five multi-effects available, of which however only one can be used for a Program, are:
Chorus / Distorsor / Delay
Distorsor > Chorus / Chorus
Delay > Chorus / Chorus
Distorsor > Delay / Chorus / Delay
Distorsor > Delay > Chorus / Delay > Chorus / Chorus
F1/F6 Voice: This indicates the timbre used for the Voice selected. To change it refer to all explained for page 1.
F2/F7 Reverb:
F3/F8 Effect:
This controls the Reverb entity for each Voice, that can be modified using the VALUE +/- buttons which, if pressed
together at the same time, will set the value to zero.
This enables the multi-effect and is used to choose which algorithm of the multi-effect will be used for the Voice,
using the VALUE +/- push buttons.
