This allows an ordinary footswitch to control a parameter over time, allowing you to do volume swells, filter sweeps and control effects such as a wah-wah effect in an incredibly musical way. Pedal inputs on the PX-5S are also highly configurable and include Envelope Response. You can specify if a Zone on the PX-5S responds to a physical controller or not. In addition minimum and maximum values for these controllers can be set, allowing your adjustments to be precise and musical. In another Stage Setting with several sounds layered, the sliders could be configured to control volume over each zone or component.Įach knob, slider or pedal can simultaneously control two parameters at once, offering superior control over internal tones or external MIDI devices. As an example, for an electric piano Stage Setting the knobs and sliders can be configured to control parameters such as amplifier gain, speaker selection, keyoff noise, effects and EQ.
The assignments of these controllers are configured separately in each Stage Setting. The PX-5S has an array of physical controllers available including Pitch and Modulation wheels, 4 knobs, 6 sliders and 2 footswitch inputs.
