The effect assigned to the D Beam controller will be applied to the sound.

If one of the D Beam buttons, [PITCH], [FILTER], or [VOLUME] is blinking, a sound effect
will be heard when you move your hand above the D Beam controller (p. 92).

The sensitivity of the D Beam controller will vary according to the brightness of its
surroundings. If it does not operate as you expect, you can readjust the sensitivity.
Increasing the D Beam sensitivity value (p. 126) will make it more sensitive.
