XA (Expanded Articulation) is a function for creating realistic sounds like those on acoustic instruments as well as creating new synth sounds.
You can create such sounds by setting the XA Control to specify the way the Element is played.
- Creating smooth legato
Make the Element alternate between one element with XA Control set to Normal and another element with the XA Control set to Legato. - Producing sounds when releasing fingers from the keys.
Create an Element with XA Control set to Key Off. - Creating randomness for the same note
Make the Element with XA Control set to Cycle and another one with XA Control set to Random. - Producing sounds unique to acoustic instruments
Some examples of sound unique to acoustic instruments include harmonics and palm mute on the guitar, flutter-tonguing on the flute, and growl on the saxophone.
Set up an Element with XA Control set to A.Sw1 On or A.Sw2 On, or A.Sw Off, and control from the [ASSIGN 1] and [ASSIGN 2] buttons on the top panel.
The [ASSIGN 1] and [ASSIGN 2] buttons can be set to On or Off by sending the Control Change number set in the Control → Control Number of the Common Audio Edit screen from an external device.
Settings: Normal, Legato, Key Off, Cycle, Random, A.Sw1 On, A.Sw2 On, A.Sw Off
Normal: Played as a normal Element.
Legato: Played when Mono/Poly is set to Mono. When you play in Legato, the Element set to Legato will be played instead of the Element set to Normal.
Key Off: Played when a finger is lifted off from the key.
Cycle: Played when there are a series of Elements set in Cycle.
Random: Plays the Elements randomly when multiple Elements are set to Random.
A.Sw Off: Played when both [ASSIGN 1] and [ASSIGN 2] buttons are set to Off.
A.Sw1 On: Played when the [ASSIGN 1] button is set to On.
A.Sw2 On: Played when the [ASSIGN 2] button is set to On.

Negative value: Sets an opposite pitch response such that lower notes result in higher pitch, and higher notes result in lower pitch.
Opens the Waveform Edit screen.
Here, you can set the various Key Banks that make up a Waveform.
A Key Bank is digital data comprised of a short audio segment, such as vocals or other sounds, loaded into the instrument. It has the same characteristics as a wav file; however, to avoid confusion a different name is used to distinguish it from the Waveform.
Key Banks are always saved as a part of a Waveform.
One Waveform is capable of holding multiple Key Banks. You can save even a few dozen Key Banks, for example, in one Waveform. If you are saving multiple Key Banks in one waveform, you can assign a key range and velocity range for each Key Bank by specifying the Note Limit and Velocity Limit. By setting up multiple Key Banks, you can play various Key Bank sounds depending on the section of the keyboard you use and the strength of your keystroke.
Example of Key Bank and Waveform setup
A Waveform must be loaded into a Part before it can be played.
You can assign a Waveform to an AWM2 Part from Element Edit in Part Edit (AWM2), or to a Drum Part from Key Edit in Drum Part Edit (AWM2).

This Filter Type cuts the signals above the value set in Cutoff Frequency.
The sound becomes brighter as you raise the Cutoff Frequency, because more high-frequency signals are passed by the filter; conversely, it becomes darker as you lower the Cutoff Frequency, because more high-frequency signals are cut or blocked by the filter. You can produce a distinctive “peaky” sound by raising the Resonance or boosting the signal level near the Cutoff Frequency.
This Filter Type is very popular and useful for producing classic synthesizer sounds.
LPF24D: A dynamic −24 dB/oct Low-Pass Filter with a characteristic digital sound. Compared to the LPF24A type, this filter can produce a more pronounced Resonance effect.
LPF24A: A digital dynamic Low-Pass Filter with characteristics similar to a 4-pole analog synthesizer filter.

All: The Time/Vel value affects the time-related settings in AEG.
By setting this switch On, you can connect a separately sold foot controller FC3A to the [SUSTAIN] jack on the rear panel and use the half-damper function for your keyboard performance.
The Half-damper function gives you greater expressive control over sound decay, letting you use damper pedal operation just as you would on an acoustic piano—continuously and not just as an on/off switch. Settings: Off, On
Sets the time from the moment you have released a key while you are pressing the foot controller FC3A fully down to when the sound decays when the Half Damper (Half Damper Switch) is set to On. This parameter is not shown when Half Damper (Half Damper Switch) is set to Off.
You can adjust the decay time from the Half Damper Time to the Release Time by changing the amount you press on the pedal.
When you release the pedal, the Release Time is used for decaying sound. By setting the Release Time to a small value, and Half Damper Time to a large value, you can play a natural decaying sound, like on an acoustic piano.
Settings: 0–127
On the Scale screen, you can set the Amplitude Scale for the Element.
This changes the volume according to the key position on the keyboard.
- [PERFORMANCE] → [EDIT/] → Part selection → Element selection → Amplitude → Scale
Sets the note number for Level Offset. Settings: C−2–G8
The note numbers for Break Points 1 to 4 will be automatically arranged in ascending order.
Sets the values of four Break Points for controlling Level. Settings: −128–+127
On the Element EQ screen, you can set the equalizer for the Element.
- [PERFORMANCE] → [EDIT/] → Part selection → Element selection → Element EQ
Selects the desired EQ type. Settings: 2-band, P.EQ, Boost6, Boost12, Boost18, Thru
2-band: Shelving EQ that boosts or cuts the band of signals above or below a certain frequency (Low Freq or High Freq).
P.EQ: Parametric EQ that boosts or cuts the signal level (Gain) around the Center Frequency (Freq).
Boost6: Boosts the level by 6 dB.
Boost12: Boosts the level by 12 dB.
Boost18: Boosts the level by 18 dB.
Thru: Bypasses the equalizer leaving the entire signal unaffected.
Sets the signal level of the Low band. Settings: −12.00dB–+12.00dB
Sets the frequency of the Low band. Settings: 50.1Hz–2.00kHz
Sets the signal level of the High band. Settings: −12.00dB–+12.00dB
Sets the frequency of the High band. Settings: 503.8Hz–10.1kHz
Sets the signal level for the frequency range set in EQ Freq. Settings: −12.00dB–+12.00dB
Sets the frequency to be cut or boosted. Settings: 139.7Hz–12.9kHz
By boosting or cutting the signal level of the frequency set in EQ Freq, you can create various frequency response curves. Settings: 0.7–10.3
On the Element LFO screen, you can set the LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) for the Element. The LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) for the Element generates signals in the low band, and you can use it for modulation (cyclical variation) of the pitch, filter, and amplitude.
- [PERFORMANCE] → [EDIT/] → Part selection → Element selection → Element LFO
Selects an LFO wave, for creating various distinct types of modulation. Settings: Saw, Triangle, Square
Saw (Sawtooth wave)
Triangle (Triangle wave)
Square (Square wave)
Switches between the old set of settings (Off: 0–63) and a new set of settings with higher resolution (On: 0–415) for Speed (LFO Speed).
To maintain compatibility of data created with the old settings, set this parameter to Off. Settings: Off, On
Sets the speed of LFO Wave changes. The larger the value of this parameter, the faster the speed becomes. Settings: 0–63 (ExtendedLFO set to Off), 0–415 (ExtendedLFO is set to On)
Sets the delay time between the moment you press a key on the keyboard and the moment the LFO comes into effect. Settings: 0–127
Sets the time length for the LFO effect to fade in after you have released the key and the delay time set in Delay has elapsed. Settings: 0–127
The larger the value, the longer it takes for the LFO effect to reach the maximum.
0: LFO changes to the maximum value without any fade-ins.
Resets the oscillation of the LFO when a key is pressed. Settings: Off, On
This parameter creates a vibrato effect (cyclical changes to the pitch) by using LFO waves.
Setting the parameter to larger values results in greater change to the volume. Settings: 0–127
This parameter creates a wah effect (cyclical changes to the filter cutoff frequency) by using LFO waves.
Larger values result in greater range for cutoff frequency changes. Settings: 0–127
This parameter creates a tremolo effect (cyclical changes in the volume) by using LFO waves.
Setting the parameter to larger values results in greater change to the volume. Settings: 0–127
