on the button keyboard, it will be sounded one octave 
above the corresponding pitch – and sound natural. 
Here is an example:
The Orchestra Bass sound therefore sometimes changes 
octaves. For some songs, the default setting (E 28) may 
yield odd results, especially if you need to play walking 
bass lines, etc. In that case, you can change the “Lowest 
Note” setting to achieve a satisfactory result.
The options are: E 28, F 29, F
# 30, G 31, Ab 32, A 33, 
B
b 34, B 35, C 36; Default setting: E 28. (The figures 
refer to the MIDI note numbers – each MIDI note has its 
own “address”.)
(0~63, Default setting: 0) This 
parameter allows you change 
the way in which a note stops 
when you release the corre-
sponding button. Though all 
Orchestra Bass sounds have been prepared in such a 
way as to decay naturally when a button is released, 
there may be situations where the end of the notes is 
too sudden for comfort. 
In that case, you can increase this value. “0” means that 
you agree with the preprogrammed Release value. All 
other values cause the notes to linger increasingly 
longer.
(Off, –40~“Std”~40, Default set-
ting: Std) This parameter allows 
you to set the level of the 
Orchestra Bass part. See also 
page 28. 
(0~127 for all three) Use these 
parameters to set the Reverb, Chorus 
or Delay send level (how much effect 
should be applied to the Orchestra 
Bass section). The higher the value 
you set, the more the Orchestra Bass 
section will be processed by the effect 
in question.
The other sections (Treble, Bass, etc.) 
have the same parameters, so that 
you can create a sound image with various “levels” 
(foreground, background). Do note, however, that 
reverb or delay effects are hardly ever used for bass 
sounds.
This page contains a series of 
MIDI parameters for the Orches-
tra Bass part you need to set 
one by one.
See page 86 for details about 
the MIDI parameters. These parameters are saved along 
with all other Set parameters, which allows you to use 
different MIDI settings for each Set.
