Sustain

The sustain effect, selectable for each Voice section,
causes Voices to gradually fade out when the keys are
released. The sustain on/off and sustain length settings
are independent for each keyboard, providing maximum
expressive control.
The Foot Pedal can also be used to switch the sustain on/
off. Sustain cannot be applied to the Lead Voices.

To add sustain to the Voices and call up
the Sustain Length display:
Press one of the SUSTAIN buttons, located to the left of
the panel, to set the sustain. The SUSTAIN LENGTH
display appears.
The lamp of the button lights up to indicate that sustain is
on. Press the button again to turn sustain off and the
lamp turns off. When the lamp is off, sustain does not
affect the corresponding keyboard.
Remember to check whether the sustain button lamps are
on or off before you start to play.

SUSTAIN LENGTH display
To adjust the sustain length value, use the display slider. If
you set the highest value (HOLD), some Voices such as
organ or synth will sound continuously even when the
keys are released.
Range: 0 – 12, HOLD
NOTE
• If you change the Voice when the sustain length is set to HOLD
and the keys are released, the Voice only changes after you play
another key.
• When the sustain length is set to HOLD, previously played note(s)
may be cut off by subsequently played notes.
• The minimum setting results in no sustain. Turning sustain off
automatically resets the sustain length to be the default setting.
• Only "HOLD" is available for the Voices listed below. No effect is
produced when a value of 0 – 12 is set.
S-Violin 1/ 2 S-Tenor Sax 1/2/3
S-Trumpet 1/2 S-TenorSax Growl
S-Trombone S-Soprano Sax
S-Flute S-SprnoSax Growl
S-Flute Flutter S-Harmonica
S-Clarinet 1/2 S-BluesHarp
S-Alto Sax S-Pan Flute 1/2
S-Alto Sax Growl S-Irish Pipe 1/2
• If the pedal Voice using a Super Articulation Voice (excepting
S-Piano 1/2) is played when the sustain length is set to HOLD, the
Voice sound which is played earlier continues to sound without
being cut off, regardless of whether Pedal Poly (page 42) is set to
on or off.
