Applying various effects to the sound
 
2.
 
While playing the keyboard to produce sound, place your hand over the D 
Beam, and slowly move it up and down.
 
An effect will be applied to the sound, depending on the function that is assigned to 
the D Beam controller.
 
3.
 
To turn off the D Beam controller, press the button once again to turn it off.
 
 
Effects that can be used with the D Beam controller
 
SOLO SYNTH
 
This lets you generate passages that sound as if you are playing the keyboard 
rapidly. For example, if you hold down the four notes C, D, E, and G with your right 
hand and move your left hand over the D Beam, a phrase such as “C D E G C D E G 
...” will be repeated.
For example, you can use the D Beam to play a synth solo on a synth-lead type 
sound, and hold chords using a long, sustaining sound to create the impression of 
harp playing.
The chord memory function also provides a chord set that contain notes of a specific 
scale and is designed for use with this function (16. Scale Set).
 
ACTIVE EXPRESS (Active Expression)
 
You can use the D Beam as an Active Expression function. If you assign the Active 
Expression function to a patch that consists of dual tones (a patch whose 
[KEYMODE] is set to “DUAL”), you can create tonal changes for greater 
expressiveness, and to emphasize the forte passages in your playing.
The patches suitable for active expression have “AEx” in their names.
The usable range of the D Beam controller
The following diagram shows the usable range of the D Beam controller. Waving 
your hand outside this range will produce no effect.
fig.q05-14
Either [SOLO SYNTH], [ACTIVE EXPRESS], or 
[ASSIGNABLE] will blink while the D Beam controller is 
responding. When your hand leaves the usable range of the D 
Beam controller, the button will stop blinking, and will 
remain lit.
* The sensitivity of the D Beam controller will change depending 
on the amount of light in the vicinity of the unit. If it does not 
function as you expect, adjust the sensitivity as appropriate for 
the brightness of your location (p. 38). Also, the usable range of 
the D Beam controller will be considerably reduced when used 
under strong, direct sunlight. Please be aware of this when using 
the D Beam controller outside. 
The explanations of each 
type in this manual are for 
when the D Beam Polarity 
is set to “NORMAL” (p. 38).
With [SOLO SYNTH] 
switched on, pressing the 
keyboard alone will not 
result in the production of 
sound. You need to move 
your hand over the D Beam 
while you hold down keys.
If the Active Expression 
Switch (p. 57) of the patch 
is turned OFF, this will be 
conventional expression 
(volume change).
You will hear no sound if 
you play the keyboard 
when Active Expression 
has set the volume to 0.
