POSITION
This lever is used to align the pitch of the solo keyboard
with the pitch of the upper keyboard.
As its name indicates, the solo keyboard contains the
keys for playing the main
melody
of a tune.
In
particular,
it features
a
synthesizer
system
to
reproduce faithfully the characteristic tone colors of
various instruments.
In effect, this keyboard comes
with a number of special functions.
What tone colors can be produced by the solo
keyboard?
FLUTE, TROMBONE, TRUMPET, SAX, OBOE,
VIOLIN, HARPSICHORD, JAZZ GUITAR,
ROCK GUITAR, SOLO FUNNY, DOUBLE
REED, TRU-MUTE
The solo keyboard is monophonic
This simply
means
that if two or more
keys are
depressed on the keyboard, only the higher (the key
farthest to the right) will sound.
Set this control for the required volume.

OFF
and

control
to its
center position.

only.

that the volume of the solo keyboard and that of
the upper keyboard are made identical.
The

or 'wah' effect, The vibrato and 'wah'
effects can be applied simultaneously.

Portamento involves the 'carrying' of a sound and it is
a function which entails the transition from one note
to another without any break in the sound.
