Play using the drawbars
Normal mode
As an example, here’s how to play using front panel
Drawbar 2.
We will play the sound specified by Drawbar 2 across the
entire keyboard without splitting the keyboard.
1.Make sure that you are in Normal mode.
For details refer to the preceding section “Selecting
programs.”
2.In the DRAWBAR SELECT section,make sure that
the UPPER [DRAWBAR 2 ] key LED is lit..
If this key LED is dark, press the UPPER [DRAWBAR
2] key.
Now you can play the Upper tone generator using
front panel Drawbar 2 settings.
With the factory settings, the UPPER [DRAWBAR 2]
key and LOWER [DRAWBAR 1] key LEDs will be lit
when you turn on the power.
You can set the Global mode Group 7 “Default Db
Select” parameter to specify what will be selected in
the DRAWBAR SELECT section when the power is
turned on.
When the keyboard is not split, the Upper tone
generator will be used for the entire keyboard. In
this case, what you choose for the Lower tone
generator in the DRAWBAR SELECT section will
have no effect on the sound played from the CX-3’s
keyboard.
3.While playing the keyboard,pull out the various
bars of the front panel Drawbar 2 section to create
the desired sound.
If only the 8′ (eight foot) drawbar of Drawbar 2 is
pulled out, only the pitch of the key you play will be
heard. The volume will depend on how far you pull
out the bar.
By pulling out other bars, you can add the pitches of
the corresponding feet. Create the desired sound by
combining bars in this way. For details on the sound
that is assigned to each bar, refer to “How the draw-bars
work” (p.27).
4.Try selecting other programs.
Use the [+] and [-] keys to select the bank, and the
PROGRAM [1]-[8] keys to select the number.
When you switch programs, the program parameters
other than the drawbar settings will be reflected in the
sound.
5.While you play,press the various keys of the
PERCUSSION section to add percussion.
When you add percussion to your performance, a
sense of attack will be added to the beginning of the
notes you play, producing a crisper sound.
For details on percussion settings, refer to “Percus-sion”
(p.11).
If you play the keyboard legato, the percussion will
be added only to the first note you play.
You can also add vibrato, chorus, or rotary speaker
effects to your playing. For details refer to “4.
Applying effects to your playing” (p.11).
By pressing the UPPER [DRAWBAR 1] key in step 2
and using Drawbar 1 to create a different sound, you
can play the Drawbar 1 sound when you press the
UPPER [DRAWBAR 1] key and play the Drawbar 2
sound when you press the UPPER [DRAWBAR 2]
key.
In this way, you can use the keys of the DRAWBAR
SELECT section to switch between different sets of
drawbars during a song or between songs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"storecat":[],"itemids":[20550],"manufacturers":[33480],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n
