is
sustained
so
that
it
lingers
and
slowly
fades
out.
®
On
the
PX66,
the
right
pedal
is
a
four-stage
pedal,
and
the
length
of
the
sustain
is
controlled
by
the
degree
to
which
the
pedal
is
depressed.
¢
For

be
used
as
a

pedal.
When
the
pedal
is

and
the
volume
is
lower.
®

@ Transpose
Suppose you learn to play a song—in the key of C, for
“exampie—and decide you want to sing it, only to find it’s
either too high or too low for your voice. Your choice is to
either learn the song all over again, in a different key, or to use
the TRANSPOSE feature.
C is the standard setting, and the key may be raised or
lowered with the two TRANSPOSE buttons. The key can be
reset to C instantly by pressing both TRANSPOSE buttons
simultaneously.
e When TRANSPOSE is used, depending on the selected
sound, the tone produced by some keys in the outer
ranges may be raised or lowered by one octave.

Setting the effects for each sound
The DIGITAL CELESTE, BRILLIANCE (PX55/PX66) and
DIGITAL REVERB (PX55/PX66) are stored independently for
each sound. When a SOUND button is pressed, the effect
settings for the selected sound are recalled.
Mixing two SOUNGS (Pxss/pxes)
The sounds can be mixed by pressing 2 SOUND buttons at the
same time. At this time, pressing one of the SOUND buttons
slightly before the other will activate the effects for the first
sound. The effects can then be changed as desired, but the
changes will not be stored.
Volume balance adjustment
You canadjust the volume balance when 2 sounds are mixed.
1. Press the desired 2 SOUND buttons for about 3 seconds,
pressing the button for which the volume is to be adjusted
slightly after.
@ The indicator of the SOUND button which was pressed first
will light, and the indicator for the button which was
pressed later will flash.
2. Adjust the volume of the sound with the flashing indicator
by using the TRANSPOSE buttons.
® You can set the volume to any of 11 levels.
® The current level is shown by the lit indicator.
3. The volume-setting mode is canceled when any SOUND
button is pressed.
® The volume-setting mode is available only when sounds
are mixed.
® To return to the initialized setting, follow the initialization
procedure on page 8.
@ When mixing the HARPSI or PIPE ORGAN sound with
another sound, the sustain pedal does not work for the
HARPSI or PIPE ORGAN sound.
