The DBeam Controller is a new type of controller that
is operated by simply passing your hand over it.
Twenty-eight different types of control, such as
ÒTurntableÓ and ÒAd-libÓ are provided. By changing
the control type, you can apply various effects to the
sound generator and sequencer. In addition to being
used as an individual controller, it can also be used to
do things that would be impossible for a knob or slid-
er, such as controlling multiple knobs or sliders simul-
taneously, or changing the sound instantly.
* The DBeam has been licensed from Interactive Light, Inc.
Using the DBeam Controller
1. Press D BEAM CONTROLLER [ON].
The indicator will light, and the DBeam Controller will
be turned on.
2. Press [TYPE SELECT] to select the Type.
At the factory settings, you can select one of the fol-
lowing three types: TURNTABLE (24:Turntable),
CUT+RESO (07:Cut+Reso2-A) or ADLIB (27:Adlib1).
By rotating the [VALUE] dial while you press D
BEAM CONTROLLER [ON], you can select from all
types.
While this button is held down, the display will show
the name of the currently selected type.

How Each Type Will Function
01:Modulation-A
(Modulation All)
The DBeam Controller will have the same function as
the modulation lever of an external MIDI keyboard.
Hand movement will apply modulation to all parts.
As your hand comes closer to the controller, the effect
will be deeper.
If your hand is outside of the effective range, the effect
will be Ò0Ó regardless of the location of your hand.
* The effect that is applied when the modulation lever is
operated will depend on the patch.
