CS

”): Continuous Sliders

The § function button calls the Continuous Slider (“CS”) controller view, which

will look something like this:

The continuous sliders — – and 

≠

 — can be independently assigned to

several parameters that you can control in real time while playing (also see “Quick

Editing In the Play Mode”, below). The parameters available for editing via the continu-

ous sliders are individually preset for each voice. You can select from the available range

by using the “Continuous Slider” assignment function (

≥

 Page 43).

The continuous slider view shows you which parameters are assigned to which

controller as well as the current positions of the controllers and their corresponding

values.

Quick Editing In the Play Mode

Although detailed voice editing is carried out in the EDIT mode, the – and 

≠

sliders on the VL1 panel can be used to change the assigned parameters in real time

while playing in the PLAY mode. This can be used simply an expressive tool, or as a

way to actually change the sound of the voice to suit your individual musical require-

ments. Since the – and 

≠

 sliders actually edit the parameters to which they are

assigned, the “new” voice created by using the sliders can be stored to one of the VL1’s

voice memory locations and used just as if it had been edited in the EDIT mode (

≥

 the

STORE operation is described on page 28). The parameters available for editing via the

– and 

≠

 sliders are individually preset for each voice. You can select from the

available range by using the “Continuous Slider” assignment function (

≥

 Page 43).
